[Bioc-devel] Is there a way to change the name of R package that is already published on bioconductor?

2015-11-16 Thread Marcin Kosiński
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

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

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

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
