Hi,
I'm really struggling with how to use an S4 class defined in another package,
where I would like to define a method for it in my package. By way of simple
example, I'd like to use a DNAStringSet to define an expected GC distribution
based on a given fragment size. I had defined the method
setMethod("getGcDistn", "DNAStringSet", function(myArgs){myBody})
after using setGeneric() to define the generic getGcDistn.
When submitting to BioC, I was advised that this is not permissable & I'm
trying to figure out what is the best etiquette & best practice. I haven't
really turned up much guidance through numerous searches. Do I just write a
standard function which checks the class and executes the code as required
without using S4 dispatch?
(Disclaimer: I'm very easily confused by the simplest things)
Thanks in advance,
Steve
