Depend on BSgenome 1.11.5.
Fix lack of quotes around track<- in do.call.
Add version-specific deps on Biostrings, BSgenome and IRanges. Bump version.

'track<-', respectively. Fix up some documentation issues.

rtracklayer
Add TODO list.
Massive move to IRanges infrastructure. Testing not yet
complete. Also, greatly improved interface to UCSC table browser
(i.e. their database).

rtracklayer
Remove largely untested and certainly unused Argo backend. Not worth
the maintenance.
Clean up depends, imports and suggests. More to come.

[/rtracklayer] permanent link

Fri, 24 Oct 2008

rtracklayer
Import only needed parts of IRanges and Biostrings (and Biostrings is
on its way out of the imports altogether), rather than attaching them.
This avoids lots of name conflicts in the user's workspace.
Fix xpath and error handling for XML >= 1.98-0, which is now the minimum required version.
Fix BED import without scores.

Bump version to 1.1.17.
Remove hsTargets.rda and documentation, as that was only for the BioC08
tutorial. Start converting the start/end field to integer, rather than
numeric. Fix bug in URL encoding of GFF output. Fix range calculation
in scaling of genomeSegment objects. Improve efficiency of BED parsing
when there is no track line. Add exercises to vignette.

rtracklayer
Minor edit to vignette to reflect addition of hsTargets data set.
Moved hsTargets data into rtracklayer package.
Bump version.
Make browserView() tend to generate shorter URLs so that things work
most of the time on Windows, where there seems to be some URL length
limit. Make [ method on ucscTrackModes return an instance of
ucscTrackModes, rather than a character vector.
Also remove stray browser().
Various bug fixes, add cpneTrack demo track, better vignette.

UCSC format.

Sat, 19 Jul 2008

rtracklayer
Fix doc of trackSet method on ucscSession class (removed format parameter).
Fix uploading wig tracks with only one strand.
Pass R CMD check without warnings. Fix many bugs. Hopefully will work
now for Vince. Documentation probably still needs some work.

Bump version (remove date field).
Fix various import bugs so that examples run.
* Don't even try to split up WIG tracks by strand when some strand
values are missing.
* Fix setting BED import start positions
* Don't assume that every feature in GFF3 has an ID attribute. If even
one is missing, don't use as rownames.

rtracklayer
Use better names for the tracks resulting from the strand split when exporting WIG.
