Hello,

Obtaining the RefSeq table through the Table Browser at UCSC works. However, using GenomicFeatures results in an error.

> tx19 <- makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(genome = "hg19", tablename = "refGene")
Download the refGene table ... Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  : 
  Received problem 2 in the chunky parser
