Adding Network Analysis and Visualisation Features to ABoiTrans #146

Closed MoHelmy closed 4 years ago

MoHelmy commented 4 years ago

Background

ABioTrans is a bio-statistical/informatics tool, ABioTrans, developed in R for gene expression analysis. The tool allows the user to directly read RNA-Seq data files deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus or GEO database. provides easy options for multiple statistical distribution fitting, Pearson and Spearman rank correlations, PCA, k-means and hierarchical clustering, differential expression (DE) analysis, Shannon entropy and noise (square of the coefficient of variation) analyses, as well as Gene ontology classifications.

Focus

This project aims to develop the 2nd version of ABioTrans. ABioTrans v2 will be web-based and will provide extensive analysis options to the gene expression analysis results such as pathway enrichment analysis, gene function analysis as well as publication-ready visualization options including network visualization using Cytoscape.JS

Goals

1- Create a web-based version of ABioTrans by transforming the current R/Shiny program to operate on the web. 2- Adding several network data analysis and visualization functions by integrating existing R packages into the web version of ABioTrans, such as UniProtR. 3- Integrating Cytoscape.JS for network visualization.

Coding Skills

R programming, Shiny, JavaScript, HTML/CSS

Acceptance Criteria

Students interested in working in this project will be asked to do an evaluation task that will be used for assessing their fitness to the project. Please email your CV and a letter of motivation to the mentors' email addresses (bellow).

Hey, @MoHelmy, I found this project is very interesting in data visualization and analysis. I have worked on R shiny app for my project. and also I have worked on data analysis and visualization. currently, I am looking forward to contributing to open source. So suggest to me, what I can do further in this project!

Hi @rahul799 and @12VISHESH , thanks for your interest in this project and NRNB. Please note that we don't know yet if NRNB will be in GSoC 2020, as Google has not announced accepted organizations for this year yet. If we are accepted, you will get further information on the full application process.

12VISHESH commented 4 years ago

@khanspers thanks for informing me. I hope this year also NRNB comes and completes its projects and through that, I can learn lots of things in open source. thanks and regards happy coding
