getCytoband {SNPchip} | R Documentation |
This function generates a data.frame
with the
respective cytoband names, chromosomes, Giemsa stain, and the start and
end positions. These tables can then be used to plot chromosome
idiograms. Currently, cytoband annotation for UCSC genome builds hg18
and hg19 are supported.
