Download Ensembl reference genome

Description

Download Ensembl reference genome

Usage

downloadEnsemblGenome(
  organism,
  genomeBuild = NULL,
  release = NULL,
  outputDir = getwd(),
  cache = FALSE
)

Arguments

organism	character(1). Full Latin organism name (e.g. "Homo sapiens").
genomeBuild	character(1). Ensembl genome build assembly name (e.g. "GRCh38"). If set NULL, defaults to the most recent build available. Note: don't pass in UCSC build IDs (e.g. "hg38").
release	integer(1). Ensembl release version (e.g. 100). We recommend setting this value if possible, for improved reproducibility. When left unset, the latest release available via AnnotationHub/ensembldb is used. Note that the latest version available can vary, depending on the versions of AnnotationHub and ensembldb in use.
outputDir	character(1). Output directory path.
cache	logical(1). Cache URLs locally, using BiocFileCache internally.

Value

Invisible list.
