About

Maintained by Khaled Al-ShamaaFirst published 2021-10-198 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

This R package assists breeders in linking data systems with their analytic pipelines, a crucial step in digitizing breeding processes. It supports querying and retrieving phenotypic and genotypic data from systems like 'EBS' https://ebs.excellenceinbreeding.org/, 'BMS' https://bmspro.io, 'BreedBase' https://breedbase.org, 'GIGWA' https://github.com/SouthGreenPlatform/Gigwa2 (using 'BrAPI' https://brapi.org calls), , and 'Germinate' https://germinateplatform.github.io/get-germinate/. Extra helper functions support environmental data sources, including 'TerraClimate' https://www.climatologylab.org/terraclimate.html and 'FAO' 'HWSDv2' https://gaez.fao.org/pages/hwsd soil database.

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-qbms

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

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-QBMS

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-QBMS
