Overview

About

Maintained by Ulrik StervboFirst published 2018-03-096 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

Reproducible and automated analysis of multiplex bead assays such as CBA (Morgan et al. 2004; <doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2003.11.017>), LEGENDplex (Yu et al. 2015; <doi: 10.1084/jem.20142318>), and MACSPlex (Miltenyi Biotec 2014; Application note: Data acquisition and analysis without the MACSQuant analyzer; https://www.miltenyibiotec.com/upload/assets/IM0021608.PDF). The package provides functions for streamlined reading of fcs files, and identification of bead clusters and analyte expression. The package eases the calculation of standard curves and the subsequent calculation of the analyte concentration.

Install

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

install.packages("beadplexr", 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("ustervbo/beadplexr")

Development version from ustervbo/beadplexr. 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-beadplexr

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-beadplexr

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