Hello, I have been trying to locate a software program called "TaqGCN" which is suppposed to be available through Bioconductor, according to the following web references I found. [1] " The R package TaqGCN contains classes and methods that can be used for data reading and plotting, and for predicting gene copy number. ... www.qpcr.net/eposter/default.aspx - 25k - Cached - Similar pages " [2] " [File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML package TaqGCN and will be released as part. of Bioconductor. Under current protocols, we are capable of. distinguishing up to 8 copies of the gene of ... mms.technologynetworks.net/posters/0313.pdf " The software authors might be any of the following: Catalin Barbacioru, Kelly Li, Caifu Chen and Raymond Samaha, from Applied Biosystems. Would anyone happen to have any information on this particualr package? Am I perhaps just missing where it is placed on the Bioconductor website? Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Melanie Young -- Melanie Young University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill E-mail: young1 at email.unc.edu

Hi Melanie, There is currently no package called "TaqGCN" in Bioconductor. And AFAICS no package with this name has been submitted to the Bioconductor reviewers for inclusion in the next release. You might consider contacting directly the authors for a clarification.
