Hi Joseph, The source packages for dm3 (Fly) and panTro2 (Chimp) are now available. I've also put dm2 back (used to be part of the BSgenome family in previous versions of Bioconductor, but was temporarily broken). I can confirm now that the chromosomes sequences in dm3 are the same as in FlyBase.r51. The exact set of sequences provided and their exact names are a little bit different though: library(BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.FlyBase.r51) r51 <- BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.FlyBase.r51::Dmelanogaster library(BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3) dm3 <- BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3::Dmelanogaster Then: > seqnames(r51) [1] "2L" "2R" [3] "3L" "3R" [5] "4" "X" [7] "U" "dmel_mitochondrion_genome" [9] "2LHet" "2RHet" [11] "3LHet" "3RHet" [13] "XHet" "YHet" > seqnames(dm3) [1] "chr2L" "chr2R" "chr3L" "chr3R" "chr4" "chrX" [7] "chrU" "chrM" "chr2LHet" "chr2RHet" "chr3LHet" "chr3RHet" [13] "chrXHet" "chrYHet" "chrUextra" To compare chr2L, or chrM: > r51[["2L"]] == unmasked(dm3$chr2L) [1] TRUE > r51[["dmel_mitochondrion_genome"]] == unmasked(dm3$chrM) [1] TRUE The binary versions of the packages for Windows and Mac will follow soon.
