Hello BioC list. I've encountered a small problem when trying to download some tracks from UCSC with rtracklayer. Specifically, I'm trying to get the "mrna" table. The example below works great for the "refGene" table, but gives an error for the "mrna" table. Any suggestions?

Hi Michael. It looks like I'm still getting some unusual behaviour with 1.5.19 (2.10) ... and am unsuccessful with the mrna table on 1.4.1 (2.9). I'm sending the output for both versions below. It seems 1.5.19 is only gathering results for a small region on chrX and 1.4.1 doesn't accept the "all_mrna" table. I'm using fairly old versions of R 2.9 and 2.10, but I'd guess that that is not the issue. Any suggestions?

Hi Mark, I was not planning on porting the fix to the released version, as it's not that critical. A new Bioc release is coming soon anyway. As for the devel version, I'm guessing this is more to your liking: > session <- browserSession("UCSC") > q2 <- ucscTableQuery(session, "all_mrna") > q2 Get track 'all_mrna' within hg18:*:*-* That is, you are probably not interested in the (default) chrX but the entire genome. I keep going back and forth on the logic for deriving the ranges. I made the change based on the reasoning that one will be working through a session, with one or more views, and end up at a region of interest. As the query is constructed from the session, the user would expect the default query range to be that of the session. In fact, this is the behavior of the UCSC table browser. To get what you need, you'll want to specify the range when constructing the query, e.g: > q2 <- ucscTableQuery(session, "all_mrna", GenomicRanges(genome = "hg18")) To get the entire genome's worth of data. I just tweaked the logic to make this work in version 1.5.20. Btw, you don't need the genome<- call at the beginning, just do it at query construction time.

It seems like this is becoming a more popular use case than controlling the browser from R.
