normalize coordinates to the same length

Question

[Chironex]

HI, I have a set of coordinates (gene bodies) of different lengths.

GRanges object with 100 ranges and 5 metadata columns:
        seqnames              ranges strand |   gene_name       
           <Rle>           <IRanges>  <Rle> | <character>

I need to normalize them to get coordinates with the same length. Please any suggestions?

I have to create a coverage heatmap using the gene bodies as coordinates, but since they are of different lengths I can't plot them in a visually decent way and I need to bring them all to the same length, enlarging the shorter ones or reducing the longer ones. an example of the length I would like to get is the one in this image:

Can you explain what you're trying to do in more detail? Currently there isn't enough information to answer the question.

[Chironex]

Yes sorry I've tried to explain it updating the post

[rpolicastro]

A program like deepTools can also generate a figure like that.

[Chironex]

Yes I know but I'm working on single Cell data. Im using some function from Signac RegionMatrix() to get the Matrix of coverages and enrichedHeatmap to normalize the Matrix and create nice plots. They work fine with TSS +/-1000 bp (all same length) but very bad with gene bodies with so differences in length

As shown in the example plot, you can transform the gene length to percentages (of the whole gene length) to get a consistent x-axis for your meta-gene plot.

Hi, thanks for suggestioni. With granges there Is a way to do this transformation?
