Hi,

This is to announce that a BSgenome package for sacCer3 is now available
in BioC devel (i.e. R 2.14 + BioC 2.9):

 > library(BSgenome.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer2)
 > sacCer2 <- Scerevisiae

 > library(BSgenome.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer3)
 > sacCer3 <- Scerevisiae

 > seqlengths(sacCer2)

The 2micron sequence is gone.

The package is only available as a source package for now. Binaries
for Windows and Mac will follow soon. In the mean time, users on those
platforms should be able to install from source (i.e. with
biocLite(..., type="source")).
