convert between 0-based half-open interval and 1-based full-close intervals.

Calculate Bin number from genomic physical position according to UCSC’s Bin Indexing System. note: Extended bin index for positions >= 512M is not supported yet. Do you need it? Please email the author.

to run the sample (input interval is regular 1-based full-closed cordination)

sudo gem install sequel
sample/refseqgene.rb chr1:234567-456789

output:

chr1:234567-345678      LOC100133331; LOC100132287; LOC100132062

• github repository is git://github.com/misshie/UCSCBin.git

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
