Bioc currentUtility and internal functions for Bioconductor packages
Release Lineage
Entered 3.16 · Nov 2, 2022
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
The package coalesces typical helper functions that are scattered throughout the Bioconductor ecosystem. It aims to reduce code redundancy by formalizing functions often used by Bioconductor developers. These functions include operations such as replacing slots in an object, selecting observations for show methods, labeling function life cycles, and more.
