TranscriptoScope v0.4.9 adds a standalone Windows installer while preserving the application and analytical behavior from v0.4.8.
Recommended download:
TranscriptoScope_Windows_Store_v0.4.9.exeis the easiest installation option. It bundles R 4.6.0 and the required R/CRAN/Bioconductor package library, so a separate R installation is not required.TranscriptoScope_Windows_v0.4.9.zipremains available as the smaller manual-install alternative for users who already have R.
Installer validation:
- Built with Inno Setup 6.7.3 for x64-compatible Windows systems.
- Bundles 107 package dependencies, including DESeq2, fgsea, WGCNA, Shiny, ggplot2, and readxl.
- Installed successfully for the current user under a path containing spaces.
- Passed the bundled package preflight using only the private R runtime and private package library.
- Passed the complete developer smoke analysis for raw counts, normalized expression, fold-change modes, ORA, ranked pathway analysis, and WGCNA.
- Launched the local Shiny application successfully and reported version
0.4.9. - Uninstalled cleanly.
- Contains no KEGG cache files and no development log files.
Important Windows note:
- The EXE is not currently code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. Download it only from this official release and verify the accompanying SHA-256 checksum before running it.
Scientific scope:
- This is a distribution-only release. It does not change the DESeq2, ORA, fgsea, or WGCNA statistical calculations in v0.4.8.
- The analytical workflows retain the validation evidence documented for v0.4.7 and the smoke-tested input/interface improvements released in v0.4.8.
Licensing and resources:
- The MIT license applies to TranscriptoScope source code and project-authored documentation only. Bundled R and package dependencies retain their own licenses.
- KEGG-derived cache files are not bundled. Optional KEGG workflows use user-initiated KEGG REST access and local caching.
