Overview

About

Maintained by Liis KolbergFirst published 2019-03-0615 releasesCRAN page ↗

A toolset for functional enrichment analysis and visualization, gene/protein/SNP identifier conversion and mapping orthologous genes across species via 'g:Profiler' (https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler/). The main tools are: (1) 'g:GOSt' - functional enrichment analysis and visualization of gene lists; (2) 'g:Convert' - gene/protein/transcript identifier conversion across various namespaces; (3) 'g:Orth' - orthology search across species; (4) 'g:SNPense' - mapping SNP rs identifiers to chromosome positions, genes and variant effects. This package is an R interface corresponding to the 2019 update of 'g:Profiler' and provides access to 'g:Profiler' for versions 'e94_eg41_p11' and higher. See the package 'gProfileR' for accessing older versions from the 'g:Profiler' toolset.

Install

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

install.packages("gprofiler2", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

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

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-gprofiler2

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-gprofiler2

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-gprofiler2

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