The depmap package

Introduction

depmap is an R/Bioconductor data package that disseminates cancer dependency omics datasets from the Broad Institute depmap project.

The github page page is for active development, issue tracking and forking/pulling purposes.

The depmap package aims to provide a reproducible research framework to cancer dependency data described by Tsherniak, Aviad, et al. "Defining a cancer dependency map." Cell 170.3 (2017): 564-576..

To get an overview of the package, see the depmap vignette.

Installation

To install depmap, the BiocManager Bioconductor Project Package Manager is required. If BiocManager is not already installed, it will need to be done so beforehand with (within R) install.packages("BiocManager"). Once it is installed, depmap can be installed from Biocondctor:

install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("depmap")

To install the version from GitHub, use

install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("UCLouvain-CBIO/depmap")
