Hi,
I found out, that XStringViews/Views subsetting operator does not reduce
element metadata as I would expect. See the following example. It is
reproducible in both stable (2.11) and development (2.12) versions of
Bioconductor.
Hi Jirka,
Clearly a bug. Thanks for the catch!
The regression was introduced a couple of years ago when the definition
of the Views class was modified. Should be fixed in IRanges release
(1.16.6) and devel (1.17.34). Both should become available via
biocLite() in the next 24 hours or so.
FWIW
