Hello, How does your package differ to importing GSE62944 into R with AnnotationHub http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/31/22/3666.long ? It seems like unnecessary duplication. -- Dario Strbenac PhD Student University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 205

Hi Marcin, It's technically possible to change the name. In order to try to keep this the less disruptive, we would only do this in devel and we would need to create a new package there by cloning the current package and changing its name. Then we would add a deprecation/redirection message in th

I have published `RTCGA.rnaseq` R package that provides datasets from TCGA project containig RNA sequencing (gene's expressions). I am wondering if there is a way to change this package name to be more proper like `RTCGA.RNAseq` and if that's possible, how should I do that and to whom should I writ

Re: [Bioc-devel] Base class for interaction data - expressions of interest

2015-11-16 Thread Aaron Lun
While I'm on this point, there's another, more subtle issue with using sparseMatrix(). Specifically, there's a distinction between zeros and missing values when considering a ContactMatrix. For example, in Hi-C data, a zero in the matrix means there aren't any read pairs mapping between the cor

2015-11-16 Thread Aaron Lun
Thanks for the comment Nadhir. I had considered the use of a sparse matrix class. The reason I didn't implement it originally is because truly sparse interaction data would be better represented by just working with the pairwise format in the InteractionSet. You need the row/column indices to

Hello all, I thought I might give an update on the state of affairs for the InteractionSet package. Currently, there's three classes: - the GInteractions class, inheriting from Vector and intended to represent pairwise interactions between genomic regions (based on suggestions from Malcolm P
