geposanui

This package provides a graphical user interface for analyzing genes based on position data across species. It is a frontend for the R package geposan. You can visit an example instance of the application here where the method is used to find new TPE-OLD candidate genes based on the currently known ones.

Installation

You can install the development version of geposanui using:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_git("https://code.johrpan.de/johrpan/geposanui.git")

See this page for more information on this command.

Usage

The main entry point is the run_app() function that is provided by the package. It will setup the initial analysis and provide the interactive user interface. You have to provide at least one gene set for the application to work. The following minimal example shows how to do that:

# Ten random genes from Ensembl.
my_interesting_genes <- c(
    "ENSG00000142347",
    "ENSG00000186174",
    "ENSG00000143553",
    "ENSG00000240972",
    "ENSG00000105357",
    "ENSG00000159251",
    "ENSG00000258643",
    "ENSG00000147873",
    "ENSG00000158270",
    "ENSG00000197616"
)

# Choose a name for your gene set.
geposanui::run_app(list("Interesting genes" = my_interesting_genes))

This will run the application which you can reach using your favorite browser. For more information on the options provided by the function, take a look at the built-in documentation (?geposanui::run_app).
