  Description     : GNU R tools for making and manipulating transcript centric annotations
 A set of tools and methods for making and manipulating transcript
 centric annotations. With these tools the user can easily download the
 genomic locations of the transcripts, exons and cds of a given organism,
 from either the UCSC Genome Browser or a BioMart database (more sources
 will be supported in the future). This information is then stored in a
 local database that keeps track of the relationship between transcripts,
 exons, cds and genes. Flexible methods are provided for extracting the
 desired features in a convenient format.


This is another precondition to update r-bioc-cummerbund maintained by
Debian Med team.  It is in SVN at
