[Bioc-devel] proposal for additional seqlevelsStyle

[Pages, Herve]

Hi Vince, Robert,

Looks like Vince wants the RefSeq accession e.g. NC_000017.11 for chrom 
17 in the GRCh38.

@Robert: Is this what you're also interested in?

The problem is that the RefSeq accessions are specific to a particular 
assembly (e.g. NC_000017.11 for chrom 17 in GRCh38 but NC_000017.10 for 
the same chrom in GRCh37).

Currently seqlevelsStyle() doesn't know how to distinguish between 
different assemblies of the same organism. Not saying it couldn't but it 
would require some thinking and some significant refactoring. It 
wouldn't be just a matter of adding a column to 
genomeStyles()$Homo_sapiens.

H.
