downloadSourceData {AnnBuilder}R Documentation

Create a local mirror of annotation data sources

Description

Uses wget to mirror relevant portions of publicly available annotation data sources. The goal is to create a local mirror that can be served on your LAN to reduce network load when building multiple annotation data packaages.

Usage

downloadSourceData(passive=FALSE)

Arguments

passive logical. If TRUE, pass the -passive-ftp flag to wget

Details

The data files will be downloaded to the current working directory. The KEGG pathway data is a special case. We download the current tarball of the pathway data, but it needs to be unpacked in kegg/pathways.

On unix-like systems, the KEGG data will be unpacked automagically.
