In PharmacoGx: Analysis of Large-Scale Pharmacogenomic Data

Package Release News

Added experimental support for a new class, the LongTable, for storing the sensitivity data in a PharmacoSet.
Because this is not well tested, we have left not updated the PSets available via the downloadPSets function.
Instead we have provided a convenient function, convertSensitivitySlotToLongTable, which takes in a PharmacoSet object, converts the data in the @sensitivty slot to a LongTable and returns an updated PharmacoSet object.
The LongTable class will be used in the future to allow PharmacoSets to store treatment response experiments with multiple drugs or cell-lines, greatly expanding the variety of data which can be stored in a PharmacoSet object.
For more details on the LongTable class, please see the vignette in the CoreGx package.

PharmacoGx now depends on CoreGx, a package designed to abstract core functionality from PharmacoGx for use in other Gx suite packages
PharmacoSet class has been modified to store molecular profile data in the SummarizedExperiment class instead of the the ExpressionSet class
Argument pSet in most PharmacoSet accessor methods now converted to object instead; this will break code using names parameters for these accessor methods
