refGenes_UCSC {coMET} | R Documentation

## Create a track of RefSeq genes from the UCSC genome browser

### Description

Create a track of RefSeq genes from the UCSC genome browser using the Gviz bioconductor package

### Usage

    refGenes_UCSC(gen, chr, start, end, title="Ref Genes UCSC", track = "refGene",
    IdType="Ref", showId=TRUE)

### Arguments

`gen` | The name of the genome
`chr` | The chromosome of interest
`start` | The first position in the region of interest (the smallest value)
`end` | The last position in the region of interest (the largest value)
`title` | Name of tracks
`track` | the name of table in UCSC for the group "Genes and Gene Prediction"
`IdType` | When set to 'ref' shows the gene reference, when set to "name" shows the gene name
`showId` | Shows the ID or name of the genetic elements

### Value

An UcscTrack object of Gviz
