Is it there?

GRangesLists also come with useful accessor functions; almost all the accessors from IRanges and GRanges are reused, but they instead result in a list. You can find accessors using the function methods(class = "GRangesList").

It is your turn to explore chromosome X genes, hg_chrX, and find the gene of interest, ABCD1. You will do this by using the function overlapsAny() between the target ABCD1 and the subject hg_chrX.

Are there any overlapping ranges with the ABCD1 gene?
