[BioC] fixed

[Chad Shaw]

JZ:

Indexing to the ends of genes seems like an error --it makes for 
inconsistency
in the interpretation of CHRLOC.

I went ahead and downloaded UCSC tables and fixed the error in my local 
work.

What I did was: download various UCSC tables, look for - strand genes, 
use the
opposite (largest available) index (start of transcription index) as the 
CHRLOC for the
- strand genes.

Hope this helps.
