Desperate bioinformatician looking for a function to calculate coverage based on a list of intervals. Something like summarising genomicranges to coverage values. Do you know something like that?
UPDATE: `GenomicRanges::coverage` is a good candidate.

My very first #Bioconductor package is now in the devel release
https://bioconductor.org/packages/DFplyr
This package brings {dplyr} verbs to S4 DataFrames ({S4Vectors}) so no need to detour your data through a tibble to slice, dice, and transform it. This also means that S4 columns (e.g. GRanges, NumericList, ...) are supported.
