GitHub - joey711/biomformat: Biom file format support in R/Bioconductor, vers. 1.x (JSON) and 2.x (HDF5) https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/biomformat.html (original) (raw)

The biomformat Package for R

Travis-CI Build Status

About

This is an R package for interfacing with both the JSON and HDF5 versions of the biom file format. This package includes basic tools for reading biom-format files, accessing and subsetting data tables from a biom object, as well as limited support for writing a biom-object back to a biom-format file.

Design

The design of this API is intended to match the python API where appropriate, while maintaining a decidedly "R flavor" that should be familiar to R users. This includes S4 classes and methods, as well as extensions of common core functions/methods.

Installation

To install the latest stable release of the biomformat package enter the following in an R session (after official release).
