Dear all,

please may i ask a simple question :

in BioC, what is the simplest (or the most direct way) to retrieve the COORDINATES of EXONS for RefSeq or ENSEMBL genes ?

thanks a lot,

You can certainly use Bioc core packages to do so, but the getInBuiltAnnotation function in Rsubread offers you a simple way to get this information for human and mouse RefSeq genes.

thanks a lot, Wei ! looking at the example that you did provide, it works great :

 x <- getInBuiltAnnotation("hg38")
 x[1:5,]

For ensembl, load the ensembldb and AnnotationHub and query for EnsDb objects for Homo sapiens, release 97

> library(ensembldb)
> library(AnnotationHub)
> hub = AnnotationHub()
snapshotDate(): 2019-07-10
> query(hub, c("EnsDb", "Homo sapiens", "97"))

This returns a single record with id AH73881. Retrieve and use exons() to extract the information

> exons(hub[["AH73881"]])

Use identical steps for refSeq (knownGene) annotations, using

query(hub, c("TxDb", "Homo sapiens"))
