GencoDymo2: Comprehensive Analysis of 'GENCODE' Annotations and Splice Site Motifs

A comprehensive suite of helper functions designed to facilitate the analysis of genomic annotations from the 'GENCODE' database <https://www.gencodegenes.org/>, supporting both human and mouse genomes. This toolkit enables users to extract, filter, and analyze a wide range of annotation features including genes, transcripts, exons, and introns across different 'GENCODE' releases. It provides functionality for cross-version comparisons, allowing researchers to systematically track annotation updates, structural changes, and feature-level differences between releases. In addition, the package can generate high-quality FASTA files containing donor and acceptor splice site motifs, which are formatted for direct input into the 'MaxEntScan' tool (Yeo and Burge, 2004 <doi:10.1089/1066527041410418>), enabling accurate calculation of splice site strength scores.
