Overview

About

Maintained by Barry ZeebergFirst published 2025-03-254 releasesCRAN page ↗

In gene-expression microarray studies, for example, one generally obtains a list of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples and then asks 'What does all of this mean biologically?' Alternatively, gene lists can be derived conceptually in addition to experimentally. For instance, one might want to analyze a group of genes known as housekeeping genes. The work of the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium <geneontology.org> provides a way to address that question. GO organizes genes into hierarchical categories based on biological process, molecular function and subcellular localization. The role of 'GoMiner' is to automate the mapping between a list of genes and GO, and to provide a statistical summary of the results as well as a visualization.

Install

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

install.packages("GoMiner", 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-gominer

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-GoMiner

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