fastRanges

fastRanges provides high-performance interval overlap and join operations for 'IRanges' and 'GenomicRanges' with deterministic multithreaded computation, reusable subject indexes, and metadata-preserving join helpers.

Key Features:

• Deterministic Multithreaded Overlap Computation: The package performs overlap calculations using multiple threads with deterministic output.
• Reusable Subject Indexes: Subject indexes can be built once and reused for repeated queries against the same reference intervals.
• Join Helpers with Consistent Output Grammar: Join operations preserve range metadata and maintain a consistent output structure.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic Interval Analysis: The package supports high-performance operations on genomic ranges for bioinformatics workflows using Bioconductor's IRanges and GenomicRanges infrastructure.

Methodology:

The package implements deterministic multithreaded algorithms for interval overlap and join operations with reusable subject indexes.
