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.
