[Bioc-devel] makeTranscriptDbFrom... AnnotationHub

Hi Michael,

I think the 1st thing we should do is have a 
makeTranscriptDbFromGRanges() function. It should not be too hard
because we already have the code :) Marc wrote it. But it's currently
part of the makeTranscriptDbFromGFF() function. Roughly speaking this
function does 2 things: (1) import the GFF or GTF file as a GRanges
object, then (2) turn that GRanges object into a TranscriptDb object.
So we should move the code that does (2) into a separate function,
the makeTranscriptDbFromGRanges() function, and have
makeTranscriptDbFromGFF() call it internally.

Then you could call makeTranscriptDbFromGRanges() on any of these
GFF- or GTF-based GRanges objects you get from AnnotationHub.

We'll work on this soon and announce here when it becomes available.

Cheers,
H.
