After reviewing available Bioconductor packages, I have an impression that there is no establisted pipeline to do that (is that true?). I'd like to hear from the list members who successfully used Bioconductor resources for this purpose.

When you're talking about DGE, are you talking about the SAGE-like tag
profiling protocol from Illumina?

If so, then I'm pretty sure there isn't an established pipeline. I've
been developing some packages that deal with this type of data to take
it from raw reads -> stripped adapters -> alignment -> annotated tags.
I'd like to add it to the bioconductor-package universe in due time,
but it's not really ready for public consumption.

I'm a bit surprised that you're using DGE (the type I'm thinking of)
to detect small RNAs, though, so maybe we're not talking about the
same thing (?).
