[BioC] RMAGEML and JVM

[Wolfgang Huber]

Dear Michaela,

see below what Tim Rayner writes. Maybe they can soon provide some
beta-test files?

Michaela, if you are going to produce a package that imports MAGE-TAB
into eSets/ExpressionSets, please consider contributing it to
Bioconductor and/or staying in touch with us, in order to avoid
unnecessary duplication.

 Bw Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

The MAGE-TAB format is now supported as a submission format to
ArrayExpress, and we're putting the finishing touches to the MAGE-TAB
export from our database, so that all the experiments in AE will soon be
available in the new format on our FTP site. We've released a parser and
validator for MAGE-TAB, written in Perl, as part of the Tab2MAGE project
on SourceForge: http://tab2mage.sf.net/ . I believe that there is an
effort underway to provide MAGE-TAB support for Bioconductor, but I must
admit I don't know the status of that. I think it may be dependent on
the developers having a set of test documents to work with, which we've
been thinking would come from the aforementioned database export. I'm
CCing Helen (currently attending a meeting in DC) in case she knows more
about the Bioconductor development work.

Cheers,
Tim
