\title{Tools for making TxDb objects from genomic annotations}
\description{
The \pkg{txdbmaker} package contains a set of tools for making TxDb objects
from genomic annotations from various sources (e.g. UCSC, Ensembl, and
GFF files). These tools allow the user to download the genomic locations
of transcripts, exons, and CDS, for a given assembly, and to import them
in a TxDb object.
Note that \link[GenomicFeatures]{TxDb} objects are implemented in the
\pkg{GenomicFeatures} package, together with flexible methods for
extracting the desired features in convenient formats.
}
\details{
For a quick overview of the provided tools, please see
the "Making TxDb Objects" vignette included in this package.
To access the vignette from your R session, run
\code{browseVignettes(package="txdbmaker")}. This requires the
\pkg{txdbmaker} package to be already installed.
Alternatively this vignette should also be available online here:
