\title{Detecting retrotranscript insertion in nuclear genomes.}
\usage{
rtDetect(gr, genes, maxgap = 100, minscore = 0.3)
}
\arguments{
\item{gr}{A GRanges object}
\item{genes}{TxDb object of genes. hg19 and hg38 are supported in the current version.}
\item{maxgap}{The maxium distance allowed on the reference genome between the paired exon boundries.}
\item{minscore}{The minimum proportion of intronic deletions of a transcript should be identified.}
}
\value{
A GRangesList object, named insSite and rt, reporting breakpoints supporting insert sites and
retroposed transcripts respectively. 'exon' and 'txs' in the metadata columns report exon_id and transcript_name from the 'genes' object.
}
\description{
Detecting retrotranscript insertion in nuclear genomes.
}
\details{
This function searches for retroposed transcripts by identifying breakpoints supporting
intronic deletions and fusions between exons and remote loci.
Only BND notations are supported at the current stage.
