Overview

About

Maintained by Sebastian Kaiser15 releasesCRAN page ↗

The main function biclust() provides several algorithms to find biclusters in two-dimensional data: Cheng and Church (2000, ISBN:1-57735-115-0), spectral (2003) doi:10.1101/gr.648603, plaid model (2005) doi:10.1016/j.csda.2004.02.003, xmotifs (2003) doi:10.1142/9789812776303_0008 and bimax (2006) doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl060. In addition, the package provides methods for data preprocessing (normalization and discretisation), visualisation, and validation of bicluster solutions.

Install

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

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/biclust/biclust_2.0.3.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "biclust_2.0.3.1.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 (2.0.3.1) 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-biclust

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-biclust

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