[Bioc-devel] GenomeGraphs: makeIdeogram and Ideogram class spelling error
I should have check this in more detail before spamming the bioc-devel list. Although I cannot find ideogram as a chromosome representation in the merriam webster dictionary (but I can find idiogram in the medical version), there is actually a link from the ideogram entry in wikipedia to Cytogenetic ideograms. Also from the idiogram entry though. And at least I found also a link to a Nature education entry where they use the term idiogram instead of ideogram: http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/Chromosome-Mapping-Idiograms-302 however a search in google for "chromosome ideogram" returns a lot of hits that look trustworthy. Can somebody with more knowledge than me put some light into this? Best, Diego.

Hello, I would like make note of an spelling error I found in the package GenomeGraphs. The issue is similar to that found and fixed some time ago for the 'idiogram' package (formerly known as 'ideogram'). See the following post: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2006-March/000433.html As a non-English native speaker myself, I feel a little bit embarrassed for pointing this out. But since this package has been around for a while and the development version has the same problem... well someone has to say it. Anyway, the problem affects to my knowledge the class and method definitions as well as the dataset 'ideogram.rda' found in the data directory.
