cytobands


  This data set contains cytoband information for a range of species,
  taken directly from the UCSC genome annotation database. This data set
  is designed to be easily extendable to cover new species.


datasets

The ChromHeatMap package can be used to plot genome-wide data (e.g. expression, CGH, SNP) along each strand of a given chromosome as a heat map. The generated heat map can be used to interactively identify probes and genes of interest.

cytobands function

A list of data frames, one per species, each with one row per
  cytoband and the following columns: <ul>
<li>chrThe chromosome number for the cytoband, prefixed with 'chr'.
    </li>
<li>startThe start coordinate for the cytoband.
    </li>
<li>endThe end coordinate for the cytoband.
    </li>
<li>bandThe cytoband number (i.e., the '23.3' in '1q23.3').
    </li>
<li>stainThe cytoband stain (see the <code>stains</code> data set).
    </li>
<li>armThe chromosome arm for the cytoband (i.e., the 'q' in '1q23.3').
  </li>
</ul> The list names (i.e. <code>names(cytobands)</code>) should correspond to
    species names in the AnnotationDbi packages used.
