Let me take this belated opportunity to introduce Jim Hester <
jhester at fredhutch.org> to the Bioconductor developer community.
Jim is working in the short term on SummarizedExperiment, including the
refactoring efforts he introduced yesterday as well as coercion methods to
and from ExpressionSet (an initial version from ExpressionSet to
SummarizedExperiment is available in the development version GenomicRanges;
iterations will include coercion in the reverse direction as well as
perhaps more 'clever' mapping between the probeset or gene names of
ExpressionSet and relevant range-based notation). Jim will also contribute
to ongoing project activities like new package reviews, package
maintenance, and upcoming release activities.
Jim brings a lot of interesting biological and software development
experience to the project. Say hi when you have a chance!
