Overview

About

Maintained by Jan LisecCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Analyzing Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurement data to evaluate isotope ratios (IRs) is a complex process. The 'IsoCor' package facilitates this process and renders it reproducible by providing a function to run a 'Shiny'-App locally in any web browser. In this App the user can upload data files of various formats, select ion traces, apply peak detection and perform calculation of IRs and delta values. Results are provided as figures and tables and can be exported. The App, therefore, facilitates data processing of ICP-MS experiments to quickly obtain optimal processing parameters compared to traditional 'Excel' worksheet based approaches. A more detailed description can be found in the corresponding article doi:10.1039/D2JA00208F. The most recent version of 'IsoCor' can be tested online at https://apps.bam.de/shn00/IsoCor/.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("IsoCor", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("janlisec/IsoCor")

Development version from janlisec/IsoCor. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-isocor

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-IsoCor

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# 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-IsoCor

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
