[Biojava-dev] Efficient searching of location objects

[Ryan Golhar]

Hi all - I'm trying to use BioJava3's FeatureList and Location objects.
 I'm loading a GFF/GTF file and creating a FeatureList.  I don't see a
mechanism to quickly search the FeatureList by genomic location.
 Basically, I want to query the FeatureList with specific locations to
determine if there are features at that location, and what is the next
feature upstream/downstream from a given location.

It seems to me that a binary tree implementation of the FeatureList may be
in order, but thought I'd check here first to see what other people
recommend.
