Dear all,
I have a checked in a new function read.AnnotatedDataFrame2 into Biobase
(>= 1.15.12), which has (somewhat) different arguments from the existing
read.AnnotatedDataFrame:
- different defaults for the read.table options:
sep="\t", header=TRUE, quote ="", as.is=TRUE,
- no 'widget' argument (which is anyway unimplemented).
A nice feature is that the new function allows more easily to specify
the varMetadata.
Ideally, I would like read.AnnotatedDataFrame2 to replace the existing
read.AnnotatedDataFrame, but for this would like to request your
feedback: is anyone very attached to the function
read.AnnotatedDataFrame in its current form? Would changing its API
break lots of things? Please speak up if "yes", otherwise I might
interpret that as "no".
Best wishes
Wolfgang
