derfinder

Annotation-agnostic differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data at base-pair resolution via the DER Finder approach. This package contains two different implementations of this approach. The first one is the single base-level F-statistics implementation and the second one is via identifying expressed regions. For more information about derfinder check the vignettes here.

Documentation

Installation instructions

Get the latest stable R release from CRAN. Then install derfinder from Bioconductor using the following code:

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

BiocManager::install("derfinder")

Citation

Below is the citation output from using citation('derfinder') in R. Please run this yourself to check for any updates on how to cite derfinder.

print(citation("derfinder"), bibtex = TRUE)

Please note that the derfinder was only made possible thanks to many other R and bioinformatics software authors, which are cited either in the vignettes and/or the paper(s) describing this package.

DER Finder versions

• The original implementation of the DER Finder approach as published in Frazee et al, Biostatistics 2014 is available via GitHub at derfinder.
• The version implementing the single base-level approach via calculating F-stastics as described in the pre-print Collado-Torres et al, Nucleic Acids Research 2017 is available via Bioconductor at derfinder. The same package has the functions required for the expressed regions-level approach.

Code of Conduct

Please note that the derfinder project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By contributing to this project, you agree to abide by its terms.

Development tools

• Continuous code testing is possible thanks to GitHub actions through r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('usethis'), r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('remotes'), r BiocStyle::Githubpkg('r-hub/sysreqs') and r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('rcmdcheck') customized to use Bioconductor's docker containers and r BiocStyle::Biocpkg('BiocCheck').
• Code coverage assessment is possible thanks to codecov and r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('covr').
• The documentation website is automatically updated thanks to r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('pkgdown').
• The code is styled automatically thanks to r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('styler').
• The documentation is formatted thanks to r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('devtools') and r BiocStyle::CRANpkg('roxygen2').

For more details, check the dev directory.

This package was developed using r BiocStyle::Biocpkg('biocthis').
