Minimal shiny example #5

Open kyleweise opened 6 years ago

Not quite sure how this would work in regards to BrowserViz, but I would like to see a minimal example of embedding one of the visualizations created by RCyjs into a Shiny web application.

We are about to start working on this - me and two students working with me this summer. Progress will be slow at first. We will contribute to https://github.com/cytoscape/r-cytoscape.js which has been idle for a few years.

BrowserViz won’t be needed - the good folks at RStudio provide other ways to send data and commands back and forth between R and the browser.

You might find igvShiny interesting, a genome browser widget for shiny.

https://github.com/paul-shannon/igvShiny

This is an early version, and builds upon my more extensive work, igvR, which uses the BrowserViz approach.

So there are these two natural sets:

Cytoscape desktop, cytoscape.js, RCyjs, cyjsShiny IGV desktop, igv.js, igvR, igvShiny

Both of the desktop programs are written in Java.

Note also that the Cytoscape consortium has taken over our Bioconductor package RCy3 - an R interface to the latest Cytoscape desktop. They have done some very fine work with this.
