Overview

About

Maintained by Zhiao ShiFirst published 2017-02-2616 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

The web version WebGestalt https://www.webgestalt.org supports 12 organisms, 354 gene identifiers and 321,251 function categories. Users can upload the data and functional categories with their own gene identifiers. In addition to the Over-Representation Analysis, WebGestalt also supports Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and Network Topology Analysis. The user-friendly output report allows interactive and efficient exploration of enrichment results. The WebGestaltR package not only supports all above functions but also can be integrated into other pipeline or simultaneously analyze multiple gene lists.

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-webgestaltr

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-WebGestaltR

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-WebGestaltR

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