Custom R charts coming to Excel !

Surabhi Chaudhary — Sat, 12 May 2018 07:30:28 -0500

This week at the BUILD conference, Microsoft announced that Power BI custom visuals will soon be available as charts with Excel. You'll be able to choose a range of data within an Excel workbook, and pass those data to one of the built-in Power BI custom visuals, or one you've created yourself using the API.

Since you can create Power BI custom visuals using R, that means you'll be able to design a custom R-based chart, and make it available to people using Excel — even if they don't know how to use R themselves. There also many pre-defined custom visuals available, including some familiar R charts like decision trees, calendar heatmaps, and hexbin scatterplots.

For more details on how you'll be able to use custom R visuals in Excel, check out the blog post linked below.

MetaPlotR: a Perl/R pipeline for plotting metagenes of nucleotide modifications and other transcriptomic sites

Neel — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 08:12:45 -0600

An increasing number of studies are mapping protein binding and nucleotide modifications sites throughout the transcriptome. Often, these sites cluster in certain regions of the transcript, giving clues to their function. Hence, it is informative to summarize where in the transcript these sites occur. A metagene is a simple and effective tool for visualizing the distribution of sites along a simplified transcript model. In this work, we introduce MetaPlotR, a Perl/R pipeline for creating metagene plots.

GeneOverlap: An R package to test and visualize gene overlaps

Jit — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 19:45:52 -0600

Overlapping gene lists can reveal biological meanings and may lead to novel hypotheses. For example, histone modification is an important cellular mechanism that can pack and re-pack chromatin. By making the chromatin structure more dense or loose, the gene expression can be turned on or off. Tri-methylation on lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3) is associated with gene activation and its genome-wide enrichment can be mapped by using ChIP-seq experiments. Because of its activating role, if we overlap the genes that are bound by H3K4me3 with the genes that are highly expressed, we should expect a positive association. Similary, we can perform such kind of overlapping between the gene lists of different histone modifications with that of various expression groups and establish each histone modification’s role in gene regulation.

At what age did you gain passion in Bioinformatics?

Jit — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 10:39:06 -0500

Most of the bioinformatician were biologist ( yeah ... not all ;), and at later stage they gain a passion in Bioinformatics and learn it. When did you get inclined towards computational analysis of biological data?

chromoMap-An R package for Interactive Visualization and Annotation of Chromosomes

Jit — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 10:45:31 -0500

chromoMap provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of chromosomes or chromosomal regions allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes,SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot.Each chromosome is composed of loci(representing a specific range determined based on chromosome length) that, on hover, shows details about the annotations in that locus range. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R Shiny applications.

Some of the prominent features of the package are:

visualizing polyploidy simultaneously on the same plot.
annotating groups of elements as distinct colors.
creating chromosome heatmaps.
adjusting chromosome range or visualizing chromosome regions such as genes
adding labels to the plot
adding hyperlinks to each element

Github replacement !

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 03:42:39 -0500

For a number of reasons researchers have been trying out GitLab as a replacement for for both GitHub and various continuous integration systems, and have been exploring configurations useful for model-fitting pipelines. Researchers turned one of these into an example repository that shows how to use GitLab together with the Rocker Docker images and the drake build system to reproducibly run a project pipeline, using the cacheing functionality across all three tools to make things reasonably speedy and enable both local and remote builds.
