Overview

About

Maintained by David Lauenstein1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Enables the user to systematically identify and visualize impulse-like gene expression changes within short genomic series experiments. In order to detect such activation peaks, the gene expression is treated as a signal that propagates along an experimental axis (time, temperature or other series conditions). Peaks are selected by exhaustive identification of local maximums and subsequent filtering based on a range of controllable parameters. Moreover, the 'Biopeak' package provides a series of data exploration tools including: expression profile plots, correlation heat maps and clustering functionalities.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Biopeak/Biopeak_1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "Biopeak_1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-biopeak

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-Biopeak

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
