[Bioc-devel] IGV - a new package in preparation

Paul,

Sounds cool! My one note after a quick first pass is that here:

Note that though igv.js typically gets its track data from CORS/indexed
webservers, the IGV package will also support locally created R data.frames
describing either bed or wig tracks - annotation and quantitative,
respectively - without any need to host those tracks on a pre-existing
webserver.  httpuv includes a minimal webserver which can adequately serve
the temporary files IGV creates from your data.frames.

It seems to me that those data.frames should be replaced with the core
Bioconductor object classes which represent the types of information being
displayed.  You might look to epivizr for  inspiration here, which (IIRC)
allows "tracks" within epiviz to be backed by bioconductor objects.

Best,
~G
