What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of not having a required BSgenome reference package for your organism, which blocks Bioconductor tools that depend on standardized genome access (and forces users into a difficult, error-prone manual build process).
Core Features & Use Cases
- On-demand BSgenome builds (Web): generate and deliver an installable BSgenome R package from an NCBI accession or Ensembl species/URL.
- Metadata automation: auto-fill BSgenome Title/Description and related seed metadata; detect circular sequences for mitochondria/chloroplast/plasmids when applicable.
- API-driven integration: trigger builds and poll status programmatically for repeatable, automated workflows.
- Typical use case: preparing genomes for TSSr, motifmatchr, ChIPseeker, Gviz, and other BSgenome-dependent Bioconductor analyses when the package is missing.
Quick Start
Use the autobsgenome skill to build an organism package for your missing BSgenome dependency by triggering the API with your NCBI GCF_/GCA_ accession and then installing the returned tar.gz URL in R.
