Mus musculus full genome (UCSC version mm8)

Description

Mus musculus full genome as provided by UCSC (mm8, Feb. 2006) and stored in Biostrings objects.

Note

This BSgenome data package was made from the following source data files:

sequences: chromFa.tar.gz, upstream1000.fa.gz, upstream2000.fa.gz, upstream5000.fa.gz
from http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm8/bigZips/
AGAPS masks: all the chr*_gap.txt.gz files from ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm8/database/
RM masks: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm8/bigZips/chromOut.tar.gz
TRF masks: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm8/bigZips/chromTrf.tar.gz

Examples

Mmusculus
seqlengths(Mmusculus)
Mmusculus$chr1  # same as Mmusculus[["chr1"]]

if ("AGAPS" %in% masknames(Mmusculus)) {

  ## Check that the assembly gaps contain only Ns:
  checkOnlyNsInGaps <- function(seq)
  {
    ## Replace all masks by the inverted AGAPS mask
    masks(seq) <- gaps(masks(seq)["AGAPS"])
    af <- alphabetFrequency(seq)
    found_letters <- names(af)[af != 0]
    if (any(found_letters != "N"))
        stop("assembly gaps contain more than just Ns")
  }

  ## A message will be printed each time a sequence is removed
  ## from the cache:
  options(verbose=TRUE)

  for (seqname in seqnames(Mmusculus)) {
    cat("Checking sequence", seqname, "... ")
    seq <- Mmusculus[[seqname]]
    checkOnlyNsInGaps(seq)
    cat("OK\n")
  }
}
