Typical biological data coerced into a data frame: a GRanges table representing genes SSX4 and SSX4B. One row represents one exon, seqnames indicates the chromosome name, ranges indicates the interval of exons, strand is the direction, tx_id and exon_id are the internal ids used for mapping cross-database.
