actually, GenomicRanges 1.11.20 defines new methods on subsetByOverlaps, an=
d so =

has (not literally, but in effect)

   importFrom(IRanges, subsetByOverlaps)

so that the methods are associated with the correct generic, and

   exportMethods(subsetByOverlaps)

so that the new methods (and generic) are available to the end user.

Not sure what your use case is, but if you were _using_ this method in your =

package you would say

   importFrom(GenomicRanges, subsetByOverlaps)

and likely have Imports: GenomicRanges in the DESCRIPTION file, whereas if =
you =

were implementing a new method you'd say

   importFrom(IRanges, subsetByOverlaps)
   exportMethods(subsetByOverlaps)

and have at least Imports: IRanges in the DESCRIPTION file (but likely Depe=
nds: =

GenomicRanges or Depends: IRanges, as it might be reasonable for the user t=
o =

have access to functionality from these packages when using your package).

I think subsetByOverlaps methods should have been exported in the release =

version of GRanges (1.10.5) but were not.

Also, in passing (and probably obvious from the last couple of responses), =
since =

you're developing a package it makes sense to track the devel branch of R a=
nd =

Bioconductor. That way, your package will be ready for use when the new R /=
 Bioc =

release come out in a few months.
