Overview

About

Maintained by Utsav LamichhaneFirst published 2025-03-032 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides tools for cleaning, processing, and preparing microbiome sequencing data (e.g., 16S rRNA) for downstream analysis. Supports CSV, TXT, and Excel file formats. The main function, ezclean(), automates microbiome data transformation, including format validation, transposition, numeric conversion, and metadata integration. It also handles taxonomic levels efficiently, resolves duplicated taxa entries, and outputs a well-structured, analysis-ready dataset. The companion functions ezstat() run statistical tests and summarize results, while ezviz() produces publication-ready visualizations.

Install

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

install.packages("mbX", 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-mbx

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-mbX

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-mbX

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