	<description><![CDATA[<p>You are requested to please bookmark collection of bioinformatics tools, scripts, codes that can be pieced together in a very easy and flexible manner to perform both simple and complex bioinformatics tasks.</p>
<p>The next-generation sequencing included whole genome sequencing(WGS), transcriptome sequencing (whole cDNA sequencing, RNA-seq), digital gene expression sequencing (Tag-Seq), ChIP-Seq, and so on. And there are many sequencing platform to generate sequece, as well know Sanger/ABi(the frist generation), Solexa/illumina, SOLiD/ABi, 454/Roche. But thier sequence format is different, also they have different error type. High quality data is very important for further analysis or data mining. There are many pipeline for raw sequence quality analysis and control with few of process for reporting reads quality statistical details, trimming, filtering, and error correction. Please bookmarks them for the benefits of bioinformatics community.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>The pacman package is an R package management tool that combines the functionality of base library related functions into intuitively named functions. This package is ideally added to .Rprofile to increase workflow by reducing time recalling obscurely named functions, reducing code and integrating functionality of base functions to simultaneously perform multiple actions.<br /><br />Function names in the pacman package follow the format of p_xxx where &lsquo;xxx&rsquo; is the task the function performs. For instance the p_load function allows the user to load one or more packages as a more generic substitute for the library or require functions and if the package isn&rsquo;t available locally it will install it for you.<br /><br /></span></p><p><strong>Installation</strong></p><p><span>To download the development version of pacman:</span></p><p><span>Download the </span><a href="https://github.com/trinker/pacman/zipball/master">zip ball</a><span> or </span><a href="https://github.com/trinker/pacman/tarball/master">tar ball</a><span>, decompress and run </span><code>R CMD INSTALL</code><span> on it, or use th</span><span>e </span><strong>devtools</strong><span> package to install the development version:</span></p><pre title="">## Make sure your current packages are up to date

	<title><![CDATA[A guide for complete R beginners :- Getting data into R]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>For a beginner this can be is the hardest part, it is also the most important to get right.</p><p>It is possible to create a vector by typing data directly into R using the combine function &lsquo;c&rsquo;</p><blockquote><p><strong>x </strong></p></blockquote><p>same as</p><blockquote><p><strong>x </strong></p></blockquote><p>creates the vector x with the numbers between 1 and 5.</p><p>You can see what is in an object at any time by typing its name;</p><blockquote><p><strong>x</strong></p></blockquote><p>will produce the output<strong> &lsquo;[1] 1 2 3 4 5&prime;</strong></p><p>Note that names need to be quoted</p><blockquote><p><strong>daysofweek </strong><strong>&larr; c(&lsquo;Monday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Tuesday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Wednesday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Thursday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Friday&rsquo;);</strong></p></blockquote><p>Usually however you want to input from a file. We have touched on the &lsquo;read.table&rsquo; function already.</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata </strong></p></blockquote><p>Now <strong>mydata</strong> is a data frame with multiple vectors</p><p>each vector can be identified by the default syntax</p><p>#if any of these are typed it will print to screen</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata$V1 mydata$V2 mydata$V3 </strong></p></blockquote><p>By default the function assumes certain things from the file</p><ul>
<li>The file is a plain text file (there are function to read excel files: <em>not covered here</em>)</li>
<li>columns are separated by any number of tabs or spaces</li>
<li>there is the same number of data points in each column</li>
<li>there is no header row (labels for the columns)</li>
<li>there is no column with names for the rows** [I&rsquo;ll explain].</li>
</ul><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If any of these are false, we need to tell that to the function</span></p><p>If it has a header column</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata <em>header=T also works</em></strong></p></blockquote><p>Note that there is a comma between different parts of the functions arguments</p><p>If there is one less column in the header row, then R assumes that the 1<sup>st</sup> column of data after the header are the row names</p><p>Now the vectors (columns) are identified by their name</p><p>#if any of these are typed it will print to screen</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata$A mydata$B mydata$C </strong></p></blockquote><p># Summary about the whole data frame</p><blockquote><p><strong>summary(mydata)</strong></p></blockquote><p># Summary information of column A</p><blockquote><p><strong>summary(mydata$A) </strong></p></blockquote><p>We can shortcut having to type the data frame each time by attaching it</p><blockquote><p><strong>attach(mydata)</strong></p></blockquote><p># summary of column B as &lsquo;mydata&rsquo; is attached</p><blockquote><p><strong>summary(B)</strong></p></blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Two other important options for </span><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">read.table</span></em></p><p>If is is separated only by tabs and has a header</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata </strong></p></blockquote><p>Really useful if you have spaces in the contents of some columns, so R does not mess up reading the columns . However if the columns or of an uneven length it will tell you.</p><p>If you know that the file has uneven columns</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata </strong></p></blockquote><p>This causes R to fill empty spaces in a columns with &lsquo;NA&rsquo; .</p><p>The last two examples will still work with our file and give the same result as with only headers=T</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Graphs</span></p><p>to get an idea of what R is capable of type</p><blockquote><p><strong>demo(graphics)</strong></p></blockquote><p>steps through the examples, and the code is printed to the screen</p><p>We will work with simpler examples that have immediate use to biologists.</p><p>Remember to get more information about the options to a function type &lsquo;?function&rsquo;</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Histogram of A</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></p><blockquote><p><strong>hist(mydata$A)</strong></p></blockquote><p>If there was more data we could increase the number of vertical columns with the option, breaks=50 (or another relevant number).</p><blockquote><p><strong>boxplot(mydata)</strong></p></blockquote><p>We can get rid of the need to type the data frame each time by using the <strong>attach</strong> function</p><p># if not already done so</p><blockquote><p><strong>attach(mydata) </strong></p><p><strong>boxplot(mydata$A, mydata$B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p>same as</p><blockquote><p><strong>boxplot(A, B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Scatter plot</span></p><p># if not already done so</p><blockquote><p><strong>attach(mydata) </strong></p><p><strong>plot(A,B) # or plot(mydata$A, mydata$B)</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SAVING an image</span></strong></p><p>Windows users (Rgui) RIGHT click on image and select which you want.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">These instructions work for everyone.</span></p><p>You need to create a new device of the type of file you need, then send the data to that device</p><p>to save as a png file (easy to load into the likes of powerpoint, also great for web applications.</p><blockquote><p><strong>png(&lsquo;filename&rsquo;) </strong></p><p><strong>boxplot(A, B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p>or to save as a pdf</p><blockquote><p><strong>pdf(&lsquo;filename&rsquo;) </strong></p><p><strong>boxplot(A, B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span></p><ul>
<li>Nothing will appear on screen, the output is going to the file</li>
<li>Also it may not be saved immediately but will once the device (or R) is turned quit.</li>
</ul><p>To quit R type</p><p><strong>q() # </strong>If you save your session, next time you start R, you will have your data preloaded.</p><p>Or if you want to remain in R</p><blockquote><pre><strong>dev.off() #</strong>turns of the png (or pdf etc) device, thus forces the data to save</pre></blockquote>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[A guide for complete R beginners :- Installing R packages]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Part of the reason R has become so popular is the vast array of packages available at the <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">cran</a> and <a href="http://www.bioconductor.org/" target="_blank">bioconductor</a> repositories. In the last few years, the number of packages has grown <a href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2010/09/what-can-other-languages-learn-from-r.html" target="_blank">exponentially</a>!</p><p>This is a short post giving steps on how to actually install R packages. Let&rsquo;s suppose you want to install the <a href="http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/" target="_blank">ggplot2</a> package. Well nothing could be easier. We just fire up an R shell and type:<br /><code><br />&gt; install.packages("ggplot2")</code></p><p>In theory the package should just install, however:</p><ul>
<li>if you are using Linux and don&rsquo;t have root access, this command won&rsquo;t work.</li>
<li>you will be asked to select your local mirror, i.e. which server should you use to download the package.</li>
</ul><h4>Installing packages without root access</h4><p>First, you need to designate a directory where you will store the downloaded packages. On my machine, I use the directory <code>/data/Rpackages/</code> After creating a package directory, to install a package we use the command:<br /><code><br />&gt; install.packages("ggplot2"</code><code>, lib="/data/Rpackages/")<br />&gt; library(ggplot2, lib.loc="/data/Rpackages/")<br /></code></p><p>It&rsquo;s a bit of a pain having to type <code>/data/Rpackages/</code> all the time. To avoid this burden,&nbsp; we create a file <code>.Renviron</code> in our home area, and add the line <code>R_LIBS=/data/Rpackages/</code> to it. This means that whenever you start R, the directory <code>/data/Rpackages/</code> is added to the list of places to look for R packages and so:</p><p><code>&gt; install.packages("ggplot2"</code><code>)<br />&gt; library(ggplot2)</code></p><p>just works!</p><h4>Setting the repository</h4><p>Every time you install a R package, you are asked which repository R should use. To set the repository and avoid having to specify this at every package install, simply:</p><ul>
<li>create a file <code>.Rprofile</code> in your home area.</li>
<li>Add the following piece of code to it:</li>
</ul><p><code><br />cat(".Rprofile: Setting UK repositoryn")<br />r = getOption("repos") # hard code the UK repo for CRAN<br />r["CRAN"] = "http://cran.uk.r-project.org"<br />options(repos = r)<br />rm(r)<br /></code></p><p>I found this tip in a stackoverflow <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1189759/expert-r-users-whats-in-your-rprofile/1189826#1189826" target="_blank">answer </a>.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>In Bio-informatics based&nbsp;genome sequencing and predicting metabolic pathways&nbsp;research jobs&nbsp;I used Matlab, SAS, SPSS, R and several Bioconductor packages. Matlab had a lot of powerful tools and was easy to use, whereas SPSS is for non-programmers and R need programming skills. I am wondering what other people think is best? or there might not be one specific language but a few that lend themselves best to Bio-informatics work that is math heavy and deals with a large amount of data.</span></p>]]></description>
