Hi All, I'm a big fan and heavy user of BSgenome. I work on a 64-bit PC running wondows 7. I want to analyse a few primate genomes using BSgenome. The newly released orangutan genome is not currently available in BSgenome. My questions: 1. Is it possible to request a genome to be added to BSgenomes, and is this the correct place to make that request? 2. If i must add the genome myself as descibed in the 'How to forge a BSgenome data package' document, will the genome I forge on unix linux machine be usable on my PC? If not, can I forge a genome on my PC? I apologise if these questions have been raised and answered previously, I did spend a lot of time looking for appropriate answers before emailing this list. Thanks in advance, and thanks for BSgenome. Kindest regards, Colm Nestor -- On 1 Oct 2011, the MRC Human Genetics Unit transferred to the University of Edinburgh.

Hi Colm, Sorry for the delayed response. It looks like the orangutan genome is available at UCSC (you may have already known this). The best way to proceed is to follow the 'How to forge a BSgenome data package' you mentioned below. Building the package on your Unix machine is fine. A packaged forged by following these directions will be made available on all platforms. Let us know if you have questions or run into problems.
