sep	Vector of separators to use for genomic string. First element is used to separate chromosome and coordinates, second separator is used to separate start and end coordinates.
...	Additional arguments passed to makeGRangesFromDataFrame

Value

Returns a GRanges object

Examples

regions <- c('chr1-1-10', 'chr2-12-3121')
StringToGRanges(regions = regions)
#> GRanges object with 2 ranges and 0 metadata columns:
#>       seqnames    ranges strand
#>          <Rle> <IRanges>  <Rle>
#>   [1]     chr1      1-10      *
#>   [2]     chr2   12-3121      *
