Hi,

As an aside, don't forget to hit "reply all" when responding to bioc

Well, you can just use the result of these functions to index your
ranges in order to keep the ones that are TRUE, eg:

R> subject.only <- subject[countOverlaps(subject, Query) == 0]
R> temp <- c(intersected, subject.only)

... and ... I guess you can take it from here?
