I'd like to get drosophila UCSC multiz _alignments_ with other species for a region (not just the alignment ) in their maf-file format or similar downloaded into an R object. Is that possible with track(...) or another call? Thank you for your help -- output of sessionInfo(): session -- Sent via the guest posting facility at bioconductor.org.

Hi Evan, rtracklayer does not support the MAF format. I could see it being parsed into something like a GRangesList. What are you trying to do with this data?
