[Bioc-devel] Hsapiens in bioconductor

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Tomasz,

The name of the BSgenome object defined in a BSgenome data package
is the name of the package itself. Hsapiens is just an convenient
"alias" for the long name. So you could do:

importFrom(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19)
importFrom(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38)

and there should be no more 'R CMD check' warning.

Then you need to use the long name in your code to refer to the object.

Hope this help,
H.
