This document accompanies the SomaDataIO R package, which loads and exports ‘SomaScan’ data via the SomaLogic Operating Co., Inc. structured text file called an ADAT (*.adat). For file format see here. The package also exports auxiliary functions for manipulating, wrangling, and extracting relevant information from an ADAT object once in memory. Basic familiarity with the R environment is assumed, as is the ability to install contributed packages from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).

Main Features (I/O)

Loading data (Import)
- parse and import a *.adat text file into an R session as a soma_adat object.
Wrangling data (manipulation)
- subset, reorder, and list various fields of a soma_adat object.
- ?SeqId analyte (feature) matching.
- dplyr and tidyr verb S3 methods for the soma_adat class.
- ?rownames helpers that do not break soma_adat attributes.
- please see vignette vignette("tips-loading-and-wrangling", package = "SomaDataIO")
Exporting data (Output)
- write out a soma_adat object as a *.adat text file.

Workflows and Analysis

This section will become more fleshed out in future versions of SomaDataIO. In the meantime, below are 4 examples of typical primary statistical analyses that are commonly performed on ‘SomaScan’ data:

Two-group comparison (e.g. differential expression) via t-test
- see stats::t.test()
- see vignette vignette("stat-two-group-comparison", package = "SomaDataIO")
Multi-group comparison (e.g. differential expression) via ANOVA
- see stats::aov()
- see vignette vignette("stat-three-group-analysis-anova", package = "SomaDataIO")
Binary classification
- see stats::glm()
- see vignette vignette("stat-binary-classification", package = "SomaDataIO")
Linear regression
- see stats::lm()
- see vignette vignette("stat-linear-regression", package = "SomaDataIO")
