Re: [Bioc-devel] Listing package-specific methods

There are two relevant queries: 1) What are the methods where at least one signature component is (or extends) this class? 2) What are the methods for this class that are defined in a specific package? #1 is along the lines of what Vince said. I prefer that definition, because I often want to

This seems like a pretty simple solution, so I like that :) On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 10:46 AM, Hervé Pagès wrote: > Hi Mike, > > IIUC you want to do something like > > setdiff(methods(class="DESeqDataSet"), > methods(class="RangedSummarizedExperiment")) > >

Re: [Bioc-devel] Listing package-specific methods

Hi Mike, IIUC you want to do something like setdiff(methods(class="DESeqDataSet"), methods(class="RangedSummarizedExperiment")) Maybe this could be handled by methods() itself e.g. with an extra argument that lets the user choose if s/he wants to see all the methods (i.e. specific

Re: [Bioc-devel] Listing package-specific methods

1) I guess if someone else defined methods for the FooData class then those could be of interest, but I think nearly all of the time I want to know just what this specific package author has defined. 2) This is getting down to my (perhaps idiosyncratic) wants, but I would like a quick and short

Re: [Bioc-devel] Listing package-specific methods

1) is the package connection key, or is it the 'directness' of the method in connection with the class of interest? (sorry to be so vague, there must be a more scientific term...) 2) it seems useful to get the signature too. this uses string operations to get at something that the class

[Bioc-devel] Listing package-specific methods

hi, Following on a conversation from Bioc2016, I think it would be good to have a function available to Bioconductor users that helps in the following situation: I'm a user, trying out a new package 'foo', which defines the FooData class, that builds on top of SummarizedExperiment. The package

[Bioc-devel] 15th Bioconductor birthday coming up

Hi, I was just digging up some stats on BioC,  and I found in the SVN the first commit: r21 | rgentlem | 2001-07-29 23:51:48 +0200 (So, 29 Jul 2001) So we should not forget to celebrate the 15th anniversary  in ~4 weeks this year, or put up blog posts somewhere.  Other things you can
