Greetings dear developers,
I have been using intervaltree for my project which is about biology.
But when I use merge_overlaps() method, it merges all intervals that overlap directly or indirectly.
Assume there are three regions in a genome called
intervalA,intervalB, andintervalC.intervalBoverlaps with bothintervalAandintervalCbut these two are not.So what I needed to merged them like this:
intervalABandintervalBC. And I wrote a method calledmerge_direct_overlaps(). I have tested it with four additional test function for mentioned python version and it passed all.I tried to make the insertion as smooth as possible; such as copying the structure of
merge_overlaps()method for this new method, adding 4 test functions which is highly similar to test functions ofmerge_overlaps(), and lastly adding a brief info about the method to README.md file.Feedback is welcome
