The BiocCheck package provides a set of tools for checking a package against the current version of Bioconductor coding and style standards.

    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("BiocCheck")

Bioconductor Guidelines

The Bioconductor guidelines are available at https://contributions.bioconductor.org/. This site provides the basis for many of the checks performed by BiocCheck. We encourage packages to follow these guidelines to ensure that they are of high quality and interoperate well with other Bioconductor packages.

Usage

To check a package, use the BiocCheck::BiocCheck() function. For example, to check the BiocCheck package itself, use:

BiocCheck::BiocCheck("BiocCheck")

in the directory above the source package directory.

Note that the BiocCheck package must be installed to use this function.

If you are using RStudio, you can use the BiocCheck addin to check a package. First, install the BiocAddins package:

BiocManager::install("Bioconductor/BiocAddins")

Then, in RStudio, click on the "Addins" menu, and select "Run BiocCheck".

Documentation

The BiocCheck package contains a vignette that describes the package in more detail. To view the vignette, start R and enter:
