Description of supported items

Partial meta information of tools/scripts and databases are saved in the followed files. You can get the file list by command unname(unlist(get.meta()[1:4])).

We do not show the meta information of annovarR supported items in this vignette.

library(BioInstaller)
meta_info <- get.meta(read.config.params = list(rcmd.parse = TRUE))
unname(unlist(meta_info[1:4]))

The followed tables show partial items description that have been collected in BioInstaller package including Github items, Non-github items and Database items.

Github items

DT::datatable(get_dt(meta_info$github$item), escape = FALSE)

Non-github items

DT::datatable(get_dt(meta_info$nongithub$item), escape = FALSE)

Database items

DT::datatable(get_dt(meta_info$db$item), escape = FALSE)

A curated list of resources for learning bioinformatics

BioInstaller also provides a simplified and curated list of resources for learning bioinformatics, such as sequencing method, web service, command-line tools and database resources. You can get it from here.
