[Bioc-devel] BiomartGeneRegionTrack question

Hi Valerie,
That sounds great!
I guess that I would try to keep all the mappings in a single file the next time. The current code grew organically over time, and is not the nicest piece of software I have ever written ?
Let me take a closer look at this again over the next couple of days, and I may come up with a cleaner, more maintainable solution. Most of this is based on a web page provided by ENSEMBL, and I should be able to come up with a reasonably functional parser for that, assuming that the structure stays more or less the same. They really should provide this information in a proper machine readable form, but hey, it?s ENSEMBL after all?
Would you happen to know whether UCSC provides mappings between their genome identifiers and ENSEMBL versions? The only information I could find is here: https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQreleases.html
Not quite what we need, even though the assembly name could be parsed and compared with the ENSEMBL genome version string.
