R googleVis examples

Rahul Nayak — Sun, 10 Dec 2017 06:13:42 -0600

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.

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.

genoPlotR - plot gene and genome maps project!

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 08:33:41 -0600

genoPlotR is a R package to produce reproducible, publication-grade graphics of gene and genome maps. It allows the user to read from usual format such as protein table files and blast results, as well as home-made tabular files.

Features

Linear representation of several segments of DNA
Comparisons represented by areas between the segments (like Artemis, for example)
Reads from common formats: Genbank, EMBL, blast, Mauve, and from user-generated tab files
Plot several subsegments of the same segment on the same line, separated by a //
Automatic or manual placement of the segments on the plot
Add annotations to all the lines
Create smart, automatic annotations for genomes, based on gene names
Add a user-generated tree
Add a global scale or a scale to each line
Use user-defined graphical functions to represent genes

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

Neel — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 05:30:41 -0500

Provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of the chromosomes or chromosome regions of any living organism allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes, SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot. It introduces a special plot viz. the "chromosome heatmap" that, in addition to mapping elements, can visualize the data associated with chromosome elements (like gene expression) in the form of heat colors which can be highly advantageous in the scientific interpretations and research work. The package provide multiple features like visualizing multiple sets, chromosome heat-maps, group annotations, adding hyperlinks, and labelling. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be customized and shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R 'Shiny' applications.

alluvial diagram

Jit — Sat, 21 Sep 2019 07:31:08 -0500

Alluvial diagram is a variant of a Parallel Coordinates Plot (PCP) but for categorical variables. Variables are assigned to vertical axes that are parallel. Values are represented with blocks on each axis. Observations are represented with alluvia (sing. “alluvium”) spanning across all the axes.

Instructions for Creating Your Own R Package

Jit — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 01:22:48 -0600

The following is a step-by-step guide to creating your own R package. Even beyond this course, youmay find this useful for storing functions you create for your own research or for editing existingR packages to suit your needs.

This guide contains three different sets of instructions. If you use RStudio, you can follow the “Ba-sic Instructions” in Section 2 which involve using RStudio’s interface.

Platypus – R package for object detection and image segmentation.

BioStar — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 02:56:25 -0600

platypus is an R package for object detection and semantic segmentation. Currently using

platypus you can perform:

multi-class semantic segmentation using U-Net architecture
multi-class object detection using YOLOv3 architecture

You can install the latest version of platypus with remotes package:

remotes::install_github("maju116/platypus")

Note that in order to install platypus you need to install keras and tensorflow packages and Tensorflow version >= 2.0.0 ( Tensorflow 1.x will not be supported!)

R Shiny in Life Sciences – Top 7 Dashboard Examples

Neel — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 19:05:03 -0500

R Shiny is one of the easiest ways for developers to make production-ready dashboards when speed and functionality are crucial. Shiny is approachable with a lot of documentation available, and because of this, a lot of developers/researchers with non-coding backgrounds are able to produce some impressive results. The whole ecosystem is easy to get your head around and pretty much limitless with regard to what you can do.
