[Bioc-devel] proposal for additional seqlevelsStyle

[Robert Castelo]

I second this, and would suggest to name the style as 'GRC' for "Genome 
Reference Consortium".

thanks Vince for bringing this up, being able to easily switch between 
genome styles is great.

if 'paste0()' in R is one of the most influential contributions to 
statistical computing

i think that 'seqlevelsStyle()' from the GenomeInfoDb package is one of 
the most influential contributions to human genetics, if you think about 
the time invested by researchers in parsing and changing between 
different styles of chromosome names :)
