Description

Get ideogram w/o cytoband for certain genome

Usage

getIdeogram(genome, subchr, cytobands=TRUE)

Arguments

genome

Single specie names, which must be one of the result from ucscGenomes()$db. If missing, will invoke a menu for users to choose from.

subchr

A character vector used to subset the result.

cytobands

Details

This function require a network connection, it will parse the data on the fly, function is a wrapper of some functionality from rtracklayer package to get certain table like cytoBand, a full table schema could be found http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables in UCSC genome browser.This is useful for visualization of the whole genome or single chromosome, you can see some examples in ggbio package.

Examples

## Not run: hg19IdeogramCyto <- getIdeogram("hg19", cytoband = TRUE)
