hello,
 
I can access hg19 but not hg18 using makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC. can anyone tell me how to access hg18?
 
>library(GenomicFeatures)
> hg18KG <- makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(genome = "hg18", tablename = "knownGene")
Download the knownGene table ... Error in curlPerform(url = url, headerfunction = header$update, curl = curl,  : 
  transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining
> hg19KG <- makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(genome = "hg19", tablename = "knownGene")
