pybedtools.bedtool.BedTool.relative_distance

BedTool.relative_distance(other, genome=None, g=None)

Returns an iterator of relative distances between features in self and other.

First computes the midpoints of self and other, then returns distances of each feature in other relative to the distance between self features.

Requires either genome (dictionary of chromsizes or assembly name) or g (filename of chromsizes file).
