The rtracklayer package supports the integration of existing genome browsers with experimental data analyses performed in R. The user may (i) transfer annotation tracks to and from a genome browser and (ii) create and manipulate browser views to focus on a particular set of annotations in a specific genomic region. Currently, the UCSC genome browser is supported.
The package is freely available from http://www.bioconductor.org/. A quick-start vignette is included with the package.
rtracklayer包支持将现有的基因组浏览器与在R中进行的实验数据分析相结合。用户可以(i)在基因组浏览器之间传输注释轨道,以及(ii)创建和操作浏览器视图,以专注于特定基因组区域中的特定注释集。目前,该包支持UCSC基因组浏览器。
该包可从http://www.bioconductor.org/免费获取。该包中包含一个快速入门的 vignette。
