Hi,

 

The Glimma package is great for exploring Differential Expression results, but it requires R version >= 3.4.0 

Unfortunately, in my organisation the production pipeline relies on R 3.2.1 

If I "hack" the Glimma package and change the `Depends` line in the DESCRIPTION file to `Depends: R (>= 3.2.0)` then the package still compiles.

Is there a reason why Glimma requires R version >= 3.4.0  ?

 

Thank you,

Gil Hornung

It doesn’t use any features from the latest R release, however it is Bioconductor policy to use require the latest R version on all packages. If you know how to change the dependency in the DESCRIPTION file then the package will work perfectly fine on an older version of R.
