translate2R

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 01:16:06 -0600

After their presentation at the international “user!” conference, data analysis specialist eoda starts the public alpha testing of translate2R. With the start of alpha testing the innovative migration solution by the company hailing from Kassel discards the working title “translateR” and takes on the final product brand name “translate2R”. translate2R is a service for the automated translation of SPSS® syntax to R code, therefore supporting data analysts with a quick and low-risk migration to R.

The manual translation of many, frequently rather complex SPSS scripts often presents itself as a tedious and error-prone task, and represents a rather large obstacle for many analysts and companies to migrate to a modern, open source data management and analysis tool like R. With translate2R this hurdle will be diminished substantially.

IONiseR: tools for the quality assessment of data produced by Oxford Nanopore’s MinION sequencer

Jit — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 10:24:19 -0600

This package is intended to provide tools for the quality assessment of data produced by Oxford Nanopore’s MinION sequencer. It includes a functions to generate a number plots for examining the statistics that we think will be useful for this task.

However, nanopore sequencing is an emerging and rapidly developing technology. It is not clear what will be most informative. We hope that IONiseR will provide a framework for visualisation of metrics that we haven’t thought of, and welcome feedback at mike.smith@embl.de.

If you’re not interested in the quality assement of the raw or event level data, and want to jump straight to the getting FASTQ format files from fast5 files you can go straight to the final section of this document.

d3Network:Tools for creating D3 JavaScript network, tree, dendrogram, and Sankey graphs from R.

Jit — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 12:10:45 -0500

Mike Bostock’s D3.js is great for creating interactive network graphs with JavaScript. The d3Network package makes it easy to create these network graphs from R. The main idea is that you should able to take an R data frame with information about the relationships between members of a network and create full network graphs with one command.
