New Features in DataSpaceR
LANL metadata accessable via DataSpaceR
DataSpaceR now offers a way to extract metadata from the LANL HIV antibody database for monoclonal antibodies hosted in DataSpace. This process is explained in a new vignette now available on CRAN. These metadata can include publication sources and epitope binding information when available. We hope that by adding these metadata, users exploring monoclonal antibodies in DataSpace can conveniently access extra metadata when desired. To access the vignette simply run the following code in an R terminal:
Virus name mapping tables for virus name standardization
The DataSpace team has assembled a database of virus synonyms for users to use when processing data. This list of synonyms is designed to help statisticians and statistical programmers to better understand the viruses they may encounter when working with data that is not already in DataSpace. A new feature to our DataSpaceR API allows users to view a series of tables that help users search for names of viruses they find in data but are not sure what standard name they should use in their reports, or other metadata they may need. See the new “Virus Name Mapping” DataSpaceR vignette for more information and instructions for use. To access the vignette simply run the following code in an R terminal:
The DataSpaceR cheat sheet
There is now a DataSpaceR cheat sheet available for R users who need a quick tutorial or reminder on how to assess data via DataSpaceR. The cheat sheet is available here or on our ropensci github page.
