[BioC] edgeR

[Gordon K Smyth]

Dear Bogdan,

edgeR is updated all the time.  There have been no changes that make the 
package much less sensitive, but the default value for the dispersion 
prior weight was changed some time ago as was the syntax for specifying 
the prior weight.  See help for prior.df in estimateTagwispDisp() and 
estimateGLMTagwiseDisp().  The prior.df determines the amount of squeezing 
that is applied to the tagwise dispersion values.

Best wishes
Gordon
