SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
- Windows users can now use http://duffel.rail.bio/recount3 again! The switch
to
httr::http_error()
resolved the duffel access problem for Windows users.
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
- Switched from using
RCurl::url.exists()
to!httr::http_error()
.
BUG FIXES
- Resolved #7.
NEW FEATURES
- Added the
create_hub()
function for creating UCSC track hub configuration files for using the UCSC Genome Browser to explore the recount3 BigWig base-pair coverage files.
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
rowRanges(rse_gene)$score
is nowrowRanges(rse_gene)$bp_length
to make it easier to userecount::getTPM()
andrecount::getRPKM()
with recount3 objects. Resolves #4.
BUG FIXES
- Updated
read_metadata()
based on #5. The empty metadata will be dropped with a warning in situations like that.
BUG FIXES
read_counts()
now reads the gene/exon counts for every sample as numeric instead of integer in order to support count values that exceed the 32bit integer threshold (such as2447935369
). Previously,read_counts()
would report tiny fractions for such large numbers. This bug was reported by Christopher Wilks.
BUG FIXES
- Now
project_homes()
reads in a text file fromrecount3_url
/organism
/homes_index which enables support for custom URLs such as http://snaptron.cs.jhu.edu/data/temp/recount3test.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed
project_homes()
,available_projects()
andavailable_samples()
to support using non-standardrecount3_url
s where the user knows that are theproject_homes()
for their organism of choice. This fix enables users to create their own custom recount3-like webservers and access their data using the functions in this package. This fix introduces the argumentavailable_homes
to bothavailable_projects()
andavailable_samples()
. This bug was reported by Christopher Wilks.
NEW FEATURES
- Added
expand_sra_attributes()
that was contributed by Andrew E Jaffe. This function expands the SRA attributes stored in a given SRA study, which makes it easier to use that data. However, it makes it harder to merge studies and thus should be used with caution.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed
locate_url()
for GTEx & TCGA BigWig files.
NEW FEATURES
- Added a
NEWS.md
file to track changes to the package. - Documentation website is now available at http://LieberInstitute.github.io/recount3/. It gets updated with every commit on the master branch (bioc-devel) using GitHub Actions and pkgdown.
