Hi BSgenome data package users, I'm forwarding this important announcement that was sent today to the Genome-announce mailing list (UCSC). The consequence of this is that our BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19 package suffers from the same problem, that is, the sequence for chrM is NOT the Revised Cambridge Reference Sequence either. And, like the UCSC Genome people, we won't update the chrM sequence so we remain consistent with the UCSC genome browser. If people really want us to support the updated GRCh37 assembly, then we can still make a BSgenome.Hsapiens.GRC.GRCh37 package (wheere, if I understand correctly, only the chrM sequence would differ from hg19). Cheers, H. -- Hervé Pagès Program in Computational Biology Division of Public Health Sciences Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 1100 Fairview Ave. N, M2-B876 P.O.
