Description

This function constructs an AnnotationTrack object from Biomart. It is a convenience function.

Usage

geneRegionBiomart(chr, start, end, strand, biomart, dp = NULL, chrFunction = function(x) x, strandFunction = function(x) x)

Arguments

chr
chr An integer

end
end The end location
strand
strand An integer -1, 0, 1
biomart
biomart A mart
dp
dp DisplayPars object
chrFunction
chrFunction A function which takes chr and converts it into the correct representation for biomaRt. For instance yeast likes to have chromosomes as roman numerals so you can use as.roman here.
strandFunction
strandFunction Analagous to chrFunction, but for strand. The internal representation of strand is -1,0,1 whereas biomaRt has different species dependent representations.
