+## Summary
+
+TxDb database for UCSC refGene table, so that you can run database
+queries like:
+
+```R
+library(TxDb.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm6.refGene)
+
+tx <- transcripts(TxDb.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm6.refGene,
+                  columns = c("TXID", "TXNAME", "GENEID"))
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+```R
+install.packages("devtools")
+host="https://github.uconn.edu/api/v3"
+devtools::install_github("CoreLab/TxDb.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm6.refGene", host = host)
+```

+\description{  
+  This package loads one or more TxDb objects.  Such TxDb
+  objects are an R interface to prefabricated databases contained by
+  this package.
+
+  The names of any objects exposed by this package indicate the origin and
+  resources exposed.  So for example TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene
+  would be a TxDb object, of Homo sapiens data from UCSC build
+  hg19 based on the knownGene Track.
