[Bioc-devel] How to move package from workflow to software

[Julien Wollbrett]

Hello Nitesh,

Thank you for your answer.

I added some functionalities to the BgeeCall package that are not 
compatible to a workflow approach.
It is now possible to run some steps outside of the initial workflow, to 
download files from different locations, to reuse data generated by the 
user or already processed by the Bgee team, etc.

Furthermore BgeeCall does not only reuse already existing bioconductor 
packages and combine them to create a workflow. It corresponds to a new 
approach allowing to generate present/absent gene expression calls from 
RNA-Seq libraries without using an arbitrary cutoff.

I would be very happy if you can help me moving it to the software section.

Best,

Julien
