[BioC] GenomicFeatures support for UCSC Microbial Genome Browser

[Olusegun Oshota [guest]]

Hi,

I tried using the GenomicFeatures package (R package) to get gene information for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 (uid86645) and Campylobacter jejuni (NCTC1168) from the UCSC genome browser,but discovered that UCSC genome browser did not have the two organisms; however, the two organisms are hosted in UCSC Microbial Genome Browser. I wonder if there is any plan to support UCSC Microbial Genome Browser in the nearest future.

Thanks
