cytobands: Cytoband location information

In ChromHeatMap: Heat map plotting by genome coordinate

Description

This data set contains cytoband information for a range of species, taken directly from the UCSC genome annotation database. This data set is designed to be easily extendable to cover new species.

Usage

cytobands

Format

A list of data frames, one per species, each with one row per cytoband and the following columns:

• chrThe chromosome number for the cytoband, prefixed with 'chr'.

• startThe start coordinate for the cytoband.

• endThe end coordinate for the cytoband.

• bandThe cytoband number (i.e., the '23.3' in '1q23.3').

• stainThe cytoband stain (see the stains data set).

• armThe chromosome arm for the cytoband (i.e., the 'q' in '1q23.3').

The list names (i.e. names(cytobands)) should correspond to species names in the AnnotationDbi packages used.
