\title{ Filter Features/Genes }
\description{
This fucntion filters genes and other annotated features with respect to length, ovelaps and distance to other features.
}
\usage{
filterGenes(gffAnno, distance_us=500, distance_ds=500, minLength=-Inf, maxLength=Inf)
}
\arguments{
\item{gffAnno}{a data frame containing the annotation}
\item{distance_us}{how many basepairs upstream to the feature should not overlap with other features.}
\item{distance_ds}{how many basepairs downstream to the feature should not overlap with other features.}
\item{minLength}{minimal length of the feature}
\item{maxLength}{maximal length of the feature}
}
\value{
	a character vector with the names of the features, that passed the filter.
