About

Maintained by Andrej-Nikolai SpiessFirst published 2012-08-3111 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Lightweight utilities for nucleic acid melting curve analysis are important in life sciences and diagnostics. This software can be used for the analysis and presentation of melting curve data from microbead-based assays (surface melting curve analysis) and reactions in solution (e.g., quantitative PCR (qPCR), real-time isothermal Amplification). Further information are described in detail in two publications in The R Journal [ https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013-2/roediger-bohm-schimke.pdf; https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2015-1/RJ-2015-1.pdf].

Install

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

install.packages("MBmca", 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("PCRuniversum/MBmca")

Development version from PCRuniversum/MBmca. 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-mbmca

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

# 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-MBmca

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-MBmca

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