RBioplot - An R package for statistics and graphing for molecular biology and biochemistry. When using this program remember to cite: Zhang J and Storey KB. (2016) RBioplot: an easy-to-use R pipeline for automated statistical analysis and data visualization in molecular biology and biochemistry. PeerJ 4:e2436. PMID:27703842.
For a detailed installation guide and step-by-step user manual, download the following RBioplot Technical Bulletin. pdf. This technical note demonstrates how to use all the RBioplot graphing functions, provides relevant examples (input files and output files), and outlines the various commands and how to customize them.
Download and install R and R Studio. To install the latest version of RBioplot, please select the following commands (copy/paste) and run them in R Studio (make sure you are connected to the internet):
(1) Run the following command to install devtools, otherwise skip this step:
install.packages("devtools")
(2) Run the following command:
devtools::install_github("jzhangc/git_R_STATS_KBS/package/rbioplot")
(3) To set a working directory use, replace
"..."
with your folder address: For Windows
setwd("C:Desktopetc
")
For Mac and Linux
setwd("~/Desktop/etc")
