I would like to submit a package soon that takes as input concentration tables (csv files with one column specifiying the feature and a column specifying p.e. peak intensity/ peak area). This is normally an output of peak-processing software (such as MetaboAnalyst, Maven). When i run BiocCheck::BiocCheck() I get the warning "No Bioconductor dependencies detected. Note that some infrastructure packages may not have Bioconductor dependencies. For more information, reach out to the Bioconductor community and/or consider a CRAN submission." Packages like "MetNet" use "relative abundances" of features which is comparable to "peak intensities" of metabolites. Is this input suitable for a package on Bioconductor?
I'm not an expert in metabolomics but I would check out the Spectra package and other packages under the metabolomics biocviews
Thank you for your reply! "Spectra" indeed is another example for software processing MS-data to p.e. concentration tables. My package however does not rely on processing software but starts with concentration tables, so I would not have a dependency on other Bioconductor packages. I think that my package will be suitable to Bioconductor as it facilitates analysis of "High-throughput data" but if I run BiocCheck::BiocCheck() the warning will come up.
