Description

## TODO: Explain differences between AnnotationHub and ExperimentHub

Use ExperimentHub to interact with Bioconductor's ExperimentHub service. Query the instance to discover and use resources that are of interest, and then easily download and import the resource into R for immediate use.

Use ExperimentHub() to retrieve information about all records in the hub.

Discover records in a hub using mcols(), query(), subset(), [, and display().

Retrieve individual records using [[. On first use of a resource, the corresponding files or other hub resources are downloaded from the internet to a local cache. On this and all subsequent uses the files are quickly input from the cache into the R session.

ExperimentHub records can be added (and sometimes removed) at any time. snapshotDate() restricts hub records to those available at the time of the snapshot; use possibleDates() to see possible snapshot dates.

The location of the local cache can be found (and updated) with getExperimentHubCache and setExperimentHubCache; removeCache removes all cache resources.
