[Bioc-devel] Question relating to extending a class and inclusion of data

[Laurent Gatto]

Dear Vilhelm,

If you need to use/share (reasonably large) MS data, you could consider contributing data to the MsDataHub package [1], that is superseding msdata and makes use of ExperimentHub. Feel free to get in touch (ideally opening a GitHub) if this is of interest to you.

Best wishes,

Laurent

Not 5G.  Compressed tarball size may not exceed 5MB.  See
https://contributions.bioconductor.org/general.html, sec 3.2.5.
