PEER release on CRAN or Bioconductor

[c-mertes]

Dear developers of PEER.

I'm the developer of OUTRIDER, which normalises RNA-seq data and calls expression outliers within the data. We compared our autoencoder method against PEER and would like to have the option for the user to switch between different methods for normalisation like PEER, PCA, autoencoder.

Since we pushed our package to Bioconductor, they require that all used libraries within the package have to be on CRAN or Bioconductor. To offer PEER as one of the normalisation options within our package, we would need it as an package on one of the platforms.

Would it be possible to submit PEER to one of the platforms so it can be loaded in a clean way?

I also made a thread on the bioc-devel list about how to include PEER as a package dependency.
