UCSC.utils

This is the development version of UCSC.utils; for the stable release version, see UCSC.utils.

Low-level utilities to retrieve data from the UCSC Genome Browser


Bioconductor version: Development (3.20)

A set of low-level utilities to retrieve data from the UCSC Genome Browser. Most functions in the package access the data via the UCSC REST API but some of them query the UCSC MySQL server directly. Note that the primary purpose of the package is to support higher-level functionalities implemented in downstream packages like GenomeInfoDb or txdbmaker.
