Examples

  ## not run
  ##
  ## hm450 <- get450k()
  ## probenames <- c("cg16392865", "cg00395291", "cg09310185", "cg21749424")
  ## probes <- hm450[probenames]
  ## 
  ## getNearestTSS(probes)
  ## getNearestTranscript(probes)
  ## 
  ## Notice that cg16392865 sits within PTCRA, but the nearest TSS is CNPY3.
