TGen-Array

About TGen-Array

TGen-Array is a collection of perl modules and scripts that provide parsing and object-interfaces for common microarray files. This package depends on modules from the TGenBioinfPerl project which should be downloaded and installed prior to installing TGen-Array.

Documentation

All TGen-Array scripts and modules contain perl POD (plain old documentation) that follows a standard style outlined in the Bio::TGen::Util::PodMaker module from the TGen-POD2HTML Project. By sticking to this standard, we can automatically generate HTML documentation for all TGen-Array modules and scripts directly from the code itself. Assuming you are using a unix-based operating system for development, once TGen-Array is installed the POD should also be viewable using the standard perldoc and man commands.

Release Numbers

TGen-Array will use the odd-even system to denote development and stable releases. Stable releases will be made periodically and will end in an even digit, for example 0.12, 0.98, 1.06. The current development code will also be periodically copied to the download site and will end in an odd number, for example 0.13, 0.99, 1.07. The download site will contain multiple stable releases but only ever one development release. The HTML documentation on this site will always match the development release available for download.
