Get MANE transcripts from TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene

Hello,
I am using TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene to get a list of all transcripts for a set of genes I am interested in using this command:
transcripts <- transcriptsBy(txdb, by = "gene")
genes_of_interest <- transcripts[names(transcripts) %in% gene_names]
Now I want to continue looking at only one transcript per gene. Ideally I would use the MANE transcript if it is available for a gene.
So I was wondering if this information is somewhere stored in the TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene package or if there is another way to incorperate this information.
Any help is much appreciated!

There is the ncbiRefSeqSelect table that has the MANE and RefSeq Select transcripts. It's not just the MANE though.

If you just want the MANE transcripts, you can get that from NCBI (and presumably EBI/EMBL but I didn't check)

You can substitute 'refseq' for 'ensembl' in the GFF name if you want the RefSeq version.

Great answer! Do you know if this is also possible with hg19? Thanks.
I doubt it. NCBI and EBI/Embl have been working on this for maybe 7 years now, and GRCh37 was superceded in 2009, so I can't imagine they want to add the extra work to deal with something that old. You could always lift it over to GRCh37 if you are still using that build.
