GC content across the human genome (hg38/GRCh38)

Source: R/gc_hg38.R

Fixed-size bins with average GC content per bin. Bins are ordered by chromosome size (not strictly numeric).

gc_hg38_50kb

gc_hg38_500kb

Format

One of:

  1. A data.table/data.frame with columns:

    chrom

    Chromosome (e.g., "chr1", ..., "chrX", "chrY").

    start

    0-based start of the bin.

    end

    1-based end of the bin.

    gc

    Average GC fraction in the bin (0–1).

  2. A GRanges with genomic bins and mcols(.)$gc storing the average GC fraction (0–1) per bin.

An object of class data.table (inherits from data.frame) with 61775 rows and 4 columns.

An object of class data.table (inherits from data.frame) with 6188 rows and 4 columns.

Value

gc_hg38_1000kb, gc_hg38_500kb, and gc_hg38_50kb return objects as described in @format with bin sizes of 1000 kb, 500 kb, and 50 kb, respectively.
