Hi,


I'm working on a project that is reviewing genes in the human genome
project. I'm hoping you can point me to some BioConductor packages that will
help me in my quest. The goal is:


   - Search through hg19 at UCSC (or other genome database) for particular
   genes of interest.
   - Increase the search by looking both upstream and downstream until
   another gene is hit
   - Be able to sort by the conservation of the upstream and downstream
   data.

We are essentially looking for unknown promoters and other key pieces of the
DNA that is not in the gene itself, but is conserved through the different
Mammal genomes that are available at the different browsers. I found a
program that does this (kind of ) with BLAST data, so I'm hoping you can
point me to any useful package or other places I can search for a way to do
this.

Thanks for your time,

Sheena
