Overview

About

Maintained by Hajk-Georg DrostFirst published 2014-11-0119 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Investigate the evolution of biological processes by capturing evolutionary signatures in transcriptomes (Drost et al. (2018) doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx835). This package aims to provide a transcriptome analysis environment to quantify the average evolutionary age of genes contributing to a transcriptome of interest.

Install

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

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

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

Development version from drostlab/myTAI. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-mytai

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-myTAI

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