We’re wrapping up the development of markeR, an 📦 R package to quantify phenotypes from gene sets. Working with RNA-seq and trying to quantify things like senescence or inflammation? Give it a spin and share feedback!
Install & tutorials: github.com/DiseaseTrans...
📄 Paper coming soon... Stay tuned!
markeR provides a suite of methods for using gene sets to quantify and evaluate the extent to which a given gene signature marks a specific phenotype from gene expression data. The package implements various scoring and enrichment approaches, along with tools to compute performance metrics and visualize results.
