BrowserSession and
BrowserView, the two main classes for interfacing
with genome browsers.
## Not run:
## open UCSC genome browser:
browseGenome()
## to view a specific range:
range <- GRangesForUCSCGenome("hg18", "chr22", IRanges(20000, 50000))
browseGenome(range = range)
## a slightly larger range:
browseGenome(range = range, end = 75000)
## with a track:
track <- import(system.file("tests", "v1.gff", package = "rtracklayer"))
browseGenome(GRangesList(track))
