Get Gene Location Data

Question

[JW]

Hi,

Is there a way to get information about the location of a human gene in GRanges format (in R) when I have the Gene Symbol and/or Ensembl ID and/or RefSeq Gene ID?

Thanks in advance!

Could the biomaRt package (http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/biomaRt.html) help?

Yes it did, thank you very much!

An other option I've come across (by now) would be the transcript() function of OrganismDbi: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/OrganismDbi/inst/doc/OrganismDbi.pdf
