JBrowseR

JBrowseR is an R package that provides a simple and clean interface to JBrowse 2 for R users. Using JBrowseR, you can:

• Embed the JBrowse 2 genome browser in R Markdown documents and Shiny applications
• Deploy a genome browser directly from the R console to view your data
• Customize your genome browser to display your own data

Installation

You can install the released version of JBrowseR from CRAN with:

install.packages("JBrowseR")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("gmod/JBrowseR")

Example

This line of code can be used to launch a genome browser from your R console:

library(JBrowseR)
JBrowseR("ViewHg19", location = "10:29,838,737..29,838,819")
