I think not, but things like readGEOAnn could be used for such purposes. If they do not fit your requirements please let us know as we would happily take patches/improvements (on these and virtually any other functions). > > Q2: Regarding R Data packages as an alternative to grabbing things > from GEO, can anyone explain why there are so few (if any) GEO > datasets also up at Bioconductor?
