⚠️There's a newer version (1.4.7) of this package.Take me there.
ensembldb (version 1.4.6)
Utilities to create and use an Ensembl based annotation database
Description
The package provides functions to create and use
transcript centric annotation databases/packages. The
annotation for the databases are directly fetched from Ensembl
using their Perl API. The functionality and data is similar to
that of the TxDb packages from the GenomicFeatures package,
but, in addition to retrieve all gene/transcript models and
annotations from the database, the ensembldb package provides
also a filter framework allowing to retrieve annotations for
specific entries like genes encoded on a chromosome region or
transcript models of lincRNA genes.
