plasmoRUtils
enables users to connect to several Plasmodium and other apicomplexan databases via R interface and provides simple functions to carry out other bioinformatics tasks which are non-trival for parasite informatic analysis. For further details, we recommend you read our preprint.
Installation
Before downloading the package, install the following dependencies.
cranpkgs <- c('BiocManager','randomcoloR', 'janitor', 'readr', 'rlang', 'dplyr', 'ggsci', 'rvest', 'easyPubMed', 'plyr', 'scales', 'ggplot2', 'glue', 'tidyr', 'tibble', 'data.table', 'plotly', 'purrr', 'stringr', 'S4Vectors', 'echarts4r', 'magrittr', 'bio3d', 'httr', 'jsonlite', 'ggpubr', 'gt', 'mgsub', 'reshape2','pathfindR')
install.packages(setdiff(cranpkgs, rownames(installed.packages())), dependencies = TRUE)
biocpkgs <- c("rmarkdown","pRoloc","knitr","BiocStyle","DESeq2","styler","utils","IRanges","BiocGenerics","rtracklayer","scuttle","txdbmaker","topGO","drawProteins","GenomicFeatures","biomaRt","AnnotationForge","Biostrings","GenomeInfoDb","SingleCellExperiment","SingleR","NOISeq","GenomicRanges","BSgenome")
BiocManager::install(setdiff(biocpkgs, rownames(installed.packages())), dependencies = TRUE)
You can install the development version of plasmoRUtils
using:
devtools::install_github("Rohit-Satyam/plasmoRUtils")
remotes::install_github('Rohit-Satyam/plasmoRUtils')
Check installation
Once dependencies are installed, the package can be loaded as follows:
# Once installed load the library as
library(plasmoRUtils)
## To re-check if all the dependencies that are required by plasmoRUtils are installed
install_dependencies()
