Hi Pan,
have you received methylation 450K data? We have begun producing
these data and are wondering about the status of the lumi package?
Many thanks, Ina

Subject: Re: [BioC] Modeling of methylation status using lumi
Hi Gilles
Thanks for your feedback of the newly implemented Methylation
functions in
the lumi package. As for the functions of modeling methylation status,
I
will organize and upload them to the developing version within next
few
weeks, hopefully by the end of this year. For the Illumina 450k
methylation
chip, we haven't got the data yet. Hopefully, we will get two batches
of
450k data within about next two months, I will update functions to
handle
the 450k data at that time. If you have 450k data and would like to
share, I
can update the package earlier.
Happy holidays!
Pan
