I see many packages about cross-platform merging and normalization methods have been removed, such as inSilico Merging
, VirtualArray and so on. Does bioconductor now have such package?

You haven't said what you would want to do the cross-platform merging for, but I think you're going down the wrong rabbit hole.

Often times people inquire about merging different platforms so that they can combine different studies that are about "the same thing" and increase their N. If this is what you are trying to do, you will be better served trying a meta analysis, which is to say that you analyze each dataset individually but more formally look at concordance of results across the separate studies.

You could look at the GeneMeta or crossmeta packages for some examples.

Some threads on this support site about similar questions:
