Functions and data relevant to the tutorials published on the WeChat official account MedBioInfoCloud are encapsulated in this R package.

Install package

This R package has dependencies on several other packages in order to function properly. If you encounter errors during the installation process, it is typically because the required dependencies have not been properly installed. Please install the dependencies individually before proceeding with the installation of the R package.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))  
    install.packages("BiocManager")  
DependencyPackage <- c("edgeR", "DESeq2", "TCGAbiolinks")  
BiocManager::install(DependencyPackage)  
   
if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly = TRUE))  
    install.packages("devtools")  
devtools::install_github("BioInfoCloud/MedBioInfoCloud")

Some functions with the same parameters are uniformly explained as follows:

save - A boolean value that determines whether the data should be preserved. If save is set to TRUE, the data will be saved. Conversely, if it's set to FALSE, the data will unsaved.

folder - A string that designates the destination directory for the saved data. This parameter is applicable only when save is set to TRUE. If the specified directory does not exist, it will be automatically created. Kindly note that the folder path should not terminate with a slash ("/"). If the function does not have a save parameter but includes a folder parameter, it indicates that the function will definitely save data, and may not necessarily return valid data. The folder parameter defaults to the current working directory, and it is recommended to set a specific data output directory.
