Current genome build

Description

Fetch the current genome build (assembly) version from online resources.

Usage

currentEnsemblGenomeBuild(organism)

currentGencodeGenomeBuild(organism)

currentRefseqGenomeBuild(organism, taxonomicGroup = NULL)

currentUcscGenomeBuild(organism)

Arguments

organism	character(1). Full Latin organism name (e.g. "Homo sapiens").
taxonomicGroup	character(1). Only applies to RefSeq. FTP server taxonomic group subdirectory path (e.g. "vertebrate_mammalian"). Defining this manually avoids having to query the FTP server.

Value

character(1). Genome assembly build version.
