`extraChIPs` is a package primarily designed to enable ChIP-Seq analysis.
Whilst the package was primarily built for the
[GRAVI: Gene Regulatory Analysis using Variable Inputs](https://github.com/smped/GRAVI)
workflow, the functionality extends beyond this specific application.
Functions focus primarily on
- Retaining `mcols()` when manipulating `GRanges` objects
- Common visualisation utilities for ChIP-Seq analysis
- Enabling sliding window analysis for differential ChIP-target binding
It is intended that these functions will integrate seamlessly with other
packages such as those provided in `csaw`, `plyranges` and `limma`.
In addition to enabling workflows, simple coercion to `tibble` objects from
`DataFrame`, `GRanges` and `GInteractions` objects is implemented.
