Dear all:
Iis anyone aware of any projects creating an extensible platform that
can act as an interface to Bioconductor that could be used to deliver
Bioconductor methods to non-command-line-using users?
To save some replies:
* I am aware of limmaGUI and affylmGUI, but the tcl/tk interface is
frustrating to some users who have difficulty installing tcl/tk
independently while having R recognize it. Macs and some *nix have
been particularly problematic for some reasons.
* I am also aware of CARMAweb, bioconductor packages and a few other
basic R-web-interfaces, but I would like something more extensible
outside of the R framework that could work both in R and in
Python/Perl for example. Something more modular.
* I'm thinking something like Galaxy or Bioclipse. I realize Ross
Lazarus is working on Rgenetics against Galaxy and Galaxy might be a
good solution.
If anyone is aware of other projects (beginning or ongoing or planned)
in this area, I'd deeply appreciate getting pointers to them!
Deanne
