TubAR

TubAR (Tuber Analysis in R) provides potato researchers with a simple means of quantitative phenotyping replacing previously used imprecise qualitative scales. Users collect images of sample tubers using a light box, and then use the package to quantify: tuber length, width, roundness, skinning percentage, redness, and lightness. Finally, the data is prepared for export and use in mapping, genomic selection, etc.

Installing the package

Use the install_github function from the devtools package in R to install TubAR. TubAR makes use of the EBImage and Biobase packages, which are available through BiocManager, not CRAN, so you will also have to install those packages before TubAR.

install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("EBImage")
BiocManager::install("Biobase")
devtools::install_github("shannonlabumn/TubAR")

More information on using the package is available in the package vignette.
