[Bioc-devel] Replacing deprecated org.Hs.egCHR and friends

Hi Peter,

This isn't a devel question. Next time please ask this sort of thing on the
support site.

As for the message, it seems pretty clear to me. The org.Hs.eg.db package
doesn't have the chromosomal location data any more, but the relevant TxDb
package does have those data, in a much more useful format. The message
can't be any more explicit than that, as there is more than one TxDb
package for human.

You could have hypothetically gone to the annotation data page (
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/BiocViews.html#___AnnotationData)
and searched for, say 'TxDb', in which case you would see three packages
with names like TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene. Which one you decide to
use is dependent on the build/source you care about.

And if you are completely unfamiliar with these packages, you need to read
the GenomicFeatures vignette.

Best,

Jim
