[Bioc-devel] MultiAssayExperiment not found in docker devel image

Development work should be done usually on the devel version of
Bioconductor (3.12), which is in the bioconductor_docker:devel image.

The stable release, has the latest Bioconductor stable release version
3.11 on the image bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_11.

Hope that answers your question.

Best,

Nitesh

Hi Nitesh,

Thank you so much for that detailed explanation! I have just one
follow-up question ? we are internally developing A wrapper for
MultiAssayExperiment. Do you recommend using the devel version or the
stable release version?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joesph,

1. The RELEASE_3_11 and devel images do not have any installed packages.
You are free to install the packages within these images. Please read the
help http://bioconductor.org/help/docker/. The goal behind these images
is to provide an image where all Bioconductor packages can be installed.
Once you install the MultiAssayExperiment package it will load just fine.

2. The RELEASE_3_11 image is the stable version, the devel version will
keep changing every week based on updates in R and any fixes Bioconductor
issues.

3. The bioconductor_docker:bioc2020 image is based on the ?devel? image,
but a frozen tag during the conference. The docker images used for
workshops come with pre-installed packages, and they are derived from the
bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel image.

I would recommend using the bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_11
(stable) image for analysis work. All images provided by Bioconductor are
reliable. If you need to report any issues, please use the
https://github.com/Bioconductor/bioconductor_docker/issues.

Best,

Nitesh
