BiocLite to install packages

BSgenome is a Bioconductor data package that contains representations of several genomes. This package has already been installed for you, as installing the dependencies usually takes some time, using the following code:

# Using Bioconductor version 3.6
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("BSgenome")

For versions 3.8 or higher, you will use the BiocManager instead.

For this exercise, you should not use source() or biocLite() to install BSgenome. This has already been done for you.
