karyoploteR: plot whole genomes with arbitrary data

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 03:24:28 -0600

karyoploteR is an R package to create karyoplots, that is, representations of whole genomes with arbitrary data plotted on them. It is inspired by the R base graphics system and does not depend on other graphics packages. The aim of karyoploteR is to offer the user an easy way to plot data along the genome to get broad genome-wide view to facilitate the identification of genome wide relations and distributions.

tinycov: standalone command line utility written in python to plot coverage from a BAM file

Jit — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 06:22:08 -0500

Tinycov is a small standalone command line utility written in python to plot the coverage of a BAM file quickly. This software was inspired by Matt Edwards' genome coverage plotter.

To install the stable version: pip3 install --user tinycov

To install the development version:

git clone https://github.com/cmdoret/tinycov.git
cd tinycov
pip install .

useR!

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:41:49 -0500

The R project actively supports two conference series, organized regularly by members from the R community: useR! - providing a forum to the R user community - and DSC - a platform for developers of statistical software.

Recently useR! conference have been organized University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain.

RNA-Seq Data Pathway and Gene-set Analysis Workflows

Jit — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 08:00:48 -0500

It describe the GAGE (Luo et al., 2009) /Pahview (Luo and Brouwer, 2013) workflows on RNA-Seq data pathway analysis and gene-set analysis. The gage package (2.12.0) now includes a new tutorial, “RNA-Seq Data Pathway and Gene-set Analysis Workflows“.

First cover a full workflow from preparation, reads counting, data preprocessing, gene set test, to pathway visualization in about 40 lines of codes. The same workflow can be used for GO analysis or other types of gene set analysis too. We also describe joint workflows, i.e. to do gene-level analysis using one of the major RNA-Seq analysis tools, DEseq/DEseq2, edgeR, limma and Cufflinks, and feed the results into GAGE/Pahview for pathway analysis or visualization. All these workflows are implemented in R/Bioconductor.

The work ows cover the most common situations and issues for RNA-Seq data pathway analysis. Issues like data quality assessment are relevant for data analysis in general yet out the scope of this tutorial. Although we focus on RNA-Seq data here, but pathway analysis work ow remains similar for microarray, particularly step 3-4 would be the same. Please check gage and pathview vigenttes for details.

Note: You need to update to current release versions of R(3.0.2)/ Bioconductor(2.13) to use all the features.

It may take a little while to load all charts. Please be patient. All charts require an Internet connection.

These examples are taken from the googleVis demo. You can execute the demo via

library(googleVis)
demo(googleVis)

For more details about the charts and further examples see the helpfiles of the individual googleVis function and review the Google Charts API documentation and Terms of Service.

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.
