ENCODExplorerData: ENCODExplorerData

In ArnaudDroitLab/ENCODExplorerData: A compilation of ENCODE metadata

Description

This package aims to ease access to ENCODE file metadata by converting them into an easy-to-use data.table.

Details

The main feature of ENCODExplorerData are the two ENCODE file metadata data tables exported though AnnotationHub, encode_df_lite and encode_df_full). While these can be accessed directly like any other data.table, we recommend using the ENCODExplorer companion package, which contains utility functions for querying them, using the online ENCODE search function, downloading selected files, and retrieving control-treatment experimental designs from ENCODE.

This package also exposes functions for regenerating up-to-date versions of the metadata tables. See the fetch_and_clean_raw_ENCODE_tables, generate_encode_df_lite and generate_encode_df_full functions for more details.
