In this repository, you will find code and R objects to support the R/Shiny app for exploring rbm8a knockout RNA-seq experiments interactively.

Instructions follow below for viewing the dataset locally via R.
If R is not already installed, find your closest mirror here and follow the instructions for installation; if using RStudio, you can download it from here)
Download the repository, either from the command line with a command like:
git clone https://github.com/markrobinsonuzh/rbm8a-rnaseq-explorer.git
or, download a snapshot of the repository using the green Code
button above (e.g., click on Download ZIP
and then unzip the files of the repository in a reasonable location locally).
Then, start an R session and set the current working directory to where rbm8a-rnaseq-explorer
was placed. (TIP: if using RStudio, you can double-click on the rbm8a-rnaseq-explorer.Rproj
file and an R session will be started with the directory correctly set.)
If not already installed, you will need to install the following packages (cut-and-paste into the console):
install.packages("BiocManager", quiet = TRUE)
pkgs <- c("shiny","ggplot2","ggrepel",
"GGally", "dplyr", "tidyr",
"Gviz", "ComplexHeatmap", "reshape2",
"circlize", "gridExtra", "rtracklayer")
BiocManager::install(pkgs)
To run the app, run:
source("app.R")
Note that for the coverage tracks to be displayed, you will need to download 7 BW (bigwig) files from here and place them in the starbigwig
directory.
