Finding overlap in ranges with R

by

Use the IRanges/GenomicRanges packages from Bioconductor, which is made for dealing with these exact problems (and scales massively)

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("IRanges")

There are a few appropriate containers for ranges on different chromosomes, one is RangesList

library(IRanges)
rangesA <- split(IRanges(rangesA$start, rangesA$stop), rangesA$chrom)
rangesB <- split(IRanges(rangesB$start, rangesB$stop), rangesB$chrom)
#which rangesB wholly contain at least one rangesA?
ov <- countOverlaps(rangesB, rangesA, type="within")>0
