[BioC] Conservation tracks in BioC?

[Paul Leo]

Hi Marc,
Yes that an nice idea. 

I've got about 80K small regions across the genome, I worry that if I
can't SUM() the conservation score across each region that it would an
uncomfortably large query as the track is score per bp I think.  Anyway
I'll explore, thanks for the tip.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,

Not really as an annotation package.  But there is an example of how you
can get data like this from the UCSC tables in rtracklayer.  Just load
up rtracklayer and then look at the help page for ucscTableQuery. 

library("rtracklayer")
?ucscTableQuery
