\name{makeTxDbFromGRanges}

\alias{makeTxDbFromGRanges}

\title{Make a TxDb object from a GRanges object}

\description{
  The \code{makeTxDbFromGRanges} function allows the user
  to extract gene, transcript, exon, and CDS information from a
  \link[GenomicRanges]{GRanges} object structured as GFF3 or GTF, and
  to return that information in a \link[GenomicFeatures]{TxDb} object.
}

\usage{
makeTxDbFromGRanges(gr, drop.stop.codons=FALSE, metadata=NULL, taxonomyId=NA)
}

\arguments{
  \item{gr}{
    A \link[GenomicRanges]{GRanges} object structured as GFF3 or GTF,
    typically obtained with \code{BiocIO::\link[BiocIO]{import}()}.
  }
  \item{drop.stop.codons}{
    \code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE}, then features of type
    \code{stop_codon} are ignored. Otherwise (the default) the stop codons
    are considered to be part of the CDS and merged to them.
  }
  \item{metadata}{
    A 2-column data frame containing meta information to be included in the
    \link[GenomicFeatures]{TxDb} object. This data frame is just passed to
    \code{\link{makeTxDb}}, which \code{makeTxDbFromGRanges} calls at the
    end to make the \link[GenomicFeatures]{TxDb} object from the information
    extracted from \code{gr}. See \code{?\link{makeTxDb}} for more information
    about the format of \code{metadata}.
  }
  \item{taxonomyId}{By default this value is NA which will result in
    an NA field since there is no reliable way to infer this from a
    GRanges object.  But you can use this argument to supply your own
    valid taxId here and if you do, then the Organism can be filled in
    as well}
}


\value{A \link[GenomicFeatures]{TxDb} object.}
