refGenes_UCSC: Create a track of RefSeq genes from the UCSC genome browser

In TiphaineCMartin/coMET_original: coMET: visualisation of regional epigenome-wide association scan (EWAS) results and DNA co-methylation patterns.

Description

Create a track of RefSeq genes from the UCSC genome browser using the Gviz bioconductor package

Usage

refGenes_UCSC(gen, chr, start, end, IdType="Ref", showId=TRUE)

Arguments

gen	The name of the genome
chr	The chromosome of interest
start	The first position in the region of interest (the smallest value)
end	The last position in the region of interest (the largest value)
IdType	When set to 'ref' shows the gene reference, when set to "name" shows the gene name
showId	Shows the ID or name of the genetic elements

Value

An UcscTrack object of Gviz
