About

DNABarcodeCompatibility: R-package to find optimised sets of compatible barcodes for multiplex experiments.

News

The DNABarcodeCompatibility package has been approved by Bioconductor and was added to the Bioconductor release 3.9: https://bioconductor.org/packages/DNABarcodeCompatibility
The DNABarcodeCompatibility package is also directly usable through a Shiny web application hosted by the Institut Pasteur: https://dnabarcodecompatibility.pasteur.fr

Installation

Requirements
- Install R if not yet installed (R >= 3.6 is required).
Within a R console, type in the following commands:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("DNABarcodeCompatibility")

In addition, DNABarcodeCompatibility can be used from a graphical user interface. We now provide two different interfaces:

Standalone Java-based graphical user interface. In such a case, additional dependencies must be installed: Java (JDK 8 - 64 bits) and rJava R-package (install.packages("rJava")).
Shiny web-based graphical user interface. This interface can be run locally within a web browser or deployed on a web server.

Support

Please use the github ticket system to report issues or suggestions. We also welcome pull requests.
