[Bioc-devel] Bioc_since shield broken for packages accepted <6 months ago

2019-09-18 Thread Ahmed Mohamed
Hi All, I noticed that all packages accepted in Bioc 3.9 have their Bioc_since (year-in-bioc) broken. Following the svg link indicates a code error. Here is an example from our package https://bioconductor.org/shields/years-in-bioc/lipidr.svg. Hope this can be easily fixed. Cheers. Ahmed.

I'd suggest separating the operations on the data from the interface. You can have both, one layer for programming and another for interactive analysis. On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 5:05 AM Bhagwat, Aditya wrote: > > In the end I endeavour to end up with a handful of verbs, with which I can do > all

In the end I endeavour to end up with a handful of verbs, with which I can do all tasks in a project. Regarding the BED files: they're basic bed files, with additional metadata columns to allow traceback. But for the purpose of multicrispr, non need to restrict to those files only. You extraCol

Hi Michael, That's a software design dilemma I've encountered a few times. One approach is to keep the "verb" functions bare. E.g. read_bed would only read a bedfile, and plot_bed would somehow plot it. Advantage: if read_bed doesn't depend on anything else, other functions can depend on it, w

I'm not sure if a function called read_bed() should be plotting or printing. Is your BED file a known BED variant, i.e., maybe there is a better name for the file type than "bed"? On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 3:17 AM Bhagwat, Aditya wrote: > > Actually, > > I will keep multicrispr::read_bed(), but wr

Actually, I will keep multicrispr::read_bed(), but wrap it around rtracklayer::import.bed, and additionally plot and print range summaries. Aditya From: Bioc-devel [bioc-devel-boun...@r-project.org] on behalf of Bhagwat, Aditya [aditya.bhag...@mpi-bn.mp
