Method: Ensembl::Core::Slice#split

Defined in:

lib/bio-ensembl/core/slice.rb

#split(max_size = 100000, overlap = 0) ⇒ Array<Slice>

Creates overlapping subslices for a given Slice.

Examples:

my_slice.split(50000, 250).each do |sub_slice|
  puts sub_slice.display_name
end

Parameters:

• max_size (Integer) (defaults to: 100000) —

  Maximal size of subslices

• overlap (Integer) (defaults to: 0) —

  Overlap in bp between consecutive subslices

Returns:

• (Array<Slice>) —

  Array of Slice objects
