Hi Stephanie, Can you provide a little bit more context? Have you observed conflicts between VariantAnnotation:::asVCF() and other asVCF() functions defined elsewhere? Any reason why you can't use/import VariantAnnotation:::asVCF() in your package?
Alternatively, have you considered using/defining a coercion method to VCF instead? That should work (and would be preferred) if you don't need the extra arguments that an "asVCF" method would allow you to support. The VCF class is defined in the VariantAnnotation package so it would be weird to have the asVCF() generic in BiocGenerics. Cheers, H. On 10/13/2017 01:55 PM, Stephanie M. Gogarten wrote:
