[Bioc-devel] About Hg38 BSgenome

[Raffaele Adolfo Calogero]

Hi Julian,

many thanks for the kind explanation it was very useful.

I will use your suggestion also because I am working only with
toplevel chromosomes.

Cheers

Raf

>  library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene)

>  bs = BSgenome.Hsapiens.NCBI.GRCh38
>  seqlevelsStyle(bs) = "UCSC" ## convert to UCSC style

>  seqlevels(BSgenome.Hsapiens.NCBI.GRCh38)

>  seqlevels(bs)
>  seqlevels(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene)
