Support distance() / nearest() for circular chromosomes #14

Closed vobencha closed 5 years ago

vobencha commented 5 years ago

Opening an issue for the request to implement distance() / nearest() on circular chromosomes:

https://support.bioconductor.org/p/111087/

I'll start by writing unit tests for distance() that demonstrate the expected behavior and will post here for discussion. Others who are interested, feel free to do the same.

I'm not sure when I'll have time to get to this. It would be helpful to know how in demand the feature is so we can prioritize ... are there others that want this? Any takers willing to contribute?

Closing this due to lack of public interest in the feature.
