[Bioc-devel] Change in edgeR interface in released version...

Dear Rory,

Sorry, I didn't intend to make this change to the release version.  I 
over-looked it amongst some documentation updates that I did want to make. 
I have fixed the release code (version 3.2.2) so that DGEList() will 
accept a NULL value again for lib.size.

Just a note on terminology.  In edgeR terminology, the "effective library 
size" is the normalized library size, the product lib.size*norm.factors. 
The default value for lib.size is colSums(counts), which is the actual 
total rather than the effective total.

Best wishes
Gordon

I noticed that DiffBind had suddenly broken, and the culprit turned out 
to be a change in the edgeR interface in the released version (3.2.1). 
In DGEList, libsize can no longer be passed in as NULL to use the 
effective library size - it either must be missing, or you need to fill 
in the effective library sizes yourself.
