According to the Bioconductor web page for DMRcate, it looks like it is available for Bioconductor version 3.18 but this installation fails:
> BiocManager::install("DMRcate")
Bioconductor version 3.18 (BiocManager 1.30.22), R 4.3.2 (2023-10-31)
Installing package(s) 'DMRcate'

That's a good question. On the DMRcate landing page, one can see that the "Source package" file is missing, meaning that installation in Unix will fail: https://bioconductor.org/packages/DMRcate
If we hover over the tiny little red icon next to the Linux build report, we can see that the source package isn't being distributed because the DSS package, on which it depends, is also not available on Linux.
It seem like that is probably because DSS uses edgeR in in it's vignette, but doesn't declare this in the DESCRIPTION file: https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/release/bioc-LATEST/DSS/nebbiolo2-checksrc.html
I think the options are either:
The DSS package authors just need to add
edgeRto their Suggest of their DESCRIPTION. They have been contacted about it but have not acted or responded about it.Thanks Daniel, Gordon and Lori for flagging this. DSS is only needed for the vignette so I'll remove that section, plus the dependency, some time this week.
Best wishes, Tim
Thank you for the explanation and contacting the DSS package authors.
Hi Daniel,
All updated with the dependency dropped. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
Cheers, Tim
