This vignette described how to convert coordinates between different genome references. We will use transcript ENST00000373316 and GRCh38 and GRCh37 as working example.
tr <- "ENST00000373316"Here is use Gviz to query the latest Ensembl biomart and extract the transcript of interest.
suppressMessages(library("Gviz"))
suppressMessages(library("biomaRt"))
h38 <- useMart("ensembl", "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
tr38 <- BiomartGeneRegionTrack(biomart = h38,
transcript = tr)
tr38 <- split(tr38, transcript(tr38))
tr38 <- ranges(tr38[[tr]])

Below, I repeat the same operation without using my own ens Mart instance. As far as I understand, Gviz queries the UCSC genome reference by default.
h37 <- useMart(host = "feb2014.archive.ensembl.org",
biomart = "ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL",
dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
tr37 <- BiomartGeneRegionTrack(biomart = h37,
transcript = tr)
tr37 <- split(tr37, transcript(tr37))
tr37 <- ranges(tr37[[tr]])

These differences seem to stem from different genome builds. Ensembl release 78 uses GRCh38, while UCSC uses GRCh37. Indeed, Gviz sets the Ensembl biomart server to Feb.2014 GRCh37.p13.
We will use the coordinate mapping infrastructure described in the January 2015 Bioconductor Newletter and the Changing genomic coordinate systems with rtracklayer::liftOver workflow.
First, we query AnnotationHub for a chain file to perform the operation we want.
library("AnnotationHub")
hub <- AnnotationHub()## snapshotDate(): 2016-10-11query(hub, 'hg19ToHg38')## AnnotationHub with 1 record
## # snapshotDate(): 2016-10-11
## # names(): AH14150
## # $dataprovider: UCSC
## # $species: Homo sapiens
## # $rdataclass: ChainFile
## # $title: hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz
## # $description: UCSC liftOver chain file from hg19 to hg38
## # $taxonomyid: 9606
## # $genome: hg19

## # retrieve record with 'object[["AH14150"]]'chain <- query(hub, 'hg19ToHg38')[[1]]## require("rtracklayer")## loading from cache '/Users/biocbuild//.AnnotationHub/18245'The liftOver function from the rtracklayer package will use the chain and translate the coordinates of a GRanges object into a new GRangesList object.
library("rtracklayer")
res <- liftOver(tr37, chain)
res <- unlist(res)
