Hi jo,
getChromInfoFromBiomart() is a higher level function that is
exported, documented, and intended to be used by the user for
that, rather than internal helpers fetchChromLengthsFromEnsembl()
and fetchChromLengthsFromEnsemblPlants().
However, after some discussions here with Marc and Sonali,
I wanted to ask whether it would be possible to export the functions
"fetchChromLengthsFromEnsembl" and "fetchChromLengthsFromEnsemblPlants" in
GenomicFeatures, as I find these methods quite useful to retrieve chromosome
lengths.
best, jo

Hi Marc,
you're right. I'll start with option 1. For that it would however be really
nice to have the seqinfo available in the GRanges as mentioned in my previous
mail. In the meantime I'll try to fetch the chrom lengths myself but would be
nice to have all that ready in the GRanges at some poi
