AnnotationHub
Bioc currentClient to access AnnotationHub resources
Release Lineage
Entered 2.12 · Apr 4, 2013
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
This package provides a client for the Bioconductor AnnotationHub web resource. The AnnotationHub web resource provides a central location where genomic files (e.g., VCF, bed, wig) and other resources from standard locations (e.g., UCSC, Ensembl) can be discovered. The resource includes metadata about each resource, e.g., a textual description, tags, and date of modification. The client creates and manages a local cache of files retrieved by the user, helping with quick and reproducible access.
