I noticed that the library GenomicFeatures provides a set of very
powerful functions to create databases with transcript-centered
annotations from e.g. the BioMart database
(makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart).
I was wondering whether a function could be added that will allow the
build of a gene-centered annotation database? E.g:
'makeGeneDbFromBiomart()' and/or 'makeGeneDb'.
I am asking because I would like to easily retrieve AND store the
annotation info of all Ensembl mouse genes. I already had a look at
the source code to see whether I could modify some parts of the code
myselves to create such function, but to me the code is too
complicated to feel comfortable adapting it, but i have the *feeling*
that this is rather straight-forward for the more knowledgable
R-gurus, hence my question.
Thanks in advance for considering,
Guido
