In ewallace/tidyqpcr: Quantitative PCR Analysis with the Tidyverse

May 2024, maintenance upgrades for R 4.4.0, including
base pipe |> rather than magrittr pipe %>%
display_plate_helpers new functions to make it easier to display plate plans with varied information
remove superseded .data$ syntax
checking all tests pass, etc.
update to v1.1
June 2022, removed plot helper functions scale_..._nice and scale_loglog from tidyqpcr, because those capabilities are now available in the scales package using label_log and similar functions. Older code may need to change scale_y_log10nice to scale_y_log10(labels = scales::label_log()), for example.
May 2022, Improvements in documentation and testing. Reorganized display_plate function to be more flexible, so older code will need to use display_plate_qpcr to ensure that sample_id and target_id info displays. Updated to v0.5.
January 2022, Improvements in documentation and argument-checking for v0.4.
October 2021, Unit tests now cover over 75% of tidyqpcr code.
June 2021, tidyqpcr blogpost in eLife labs
August 2020, relative quantification (delta delta Cq) added with function calculate_deltadeltacq_bytargetid, and a vignette illustrating this with a small data set from a 96-well plate.
June 2020, upgrades that break previous code. All function and variable names have been changed to snake case, i.e. lower case with underscore. Commits up to #ee6d192 change variable and function names. tidyqpcr now uses sample_id for nucleic acid sample (replaces Sample or SampleID), target_id for primer set/ probe (replaces TargetID or Probe), prep_type for nucleic acid preparation type (replaces Type), and cq for quantification cycle (replaces Cq or Ct). It should be possible to upgrade old analysis code by (case-sensitive) search and replace.
