************************************************** * * * 1.0.0 SERIES NEWS * * * ************************************************** AnnotationHub VERSION 1.0.0 PKG FEATURES o The AnnotationHub package allows the easy creation of an AnnotationHub object that cab be used to get access to a wealth of Annotation objects. o At creation, all the supported objects can be accessed by tab-completion to their various resource paths. When you get to the resource, you can just hit enter to trigger a download of the data to your R session. o Because AnnotationHub already allows direct access to thousands of objects, and because this number is expected to swell in the coming years, filters can be applied to limit the number of things you have to choose from. Metadata is stored for each object to allow filtering. o AnnotationHub supports caching as a performance enhancement, so if you have previously downloaded a resource from the server, it will be store and retrieved from a local cache to save time. o AnnotationHub also supports versioning, so that versions can be captured and then referred to later so as to enable reproducible research. o Please see the manual pages and associated vignette for more detailed information about how to use this resource.
