VisualVariants

The goal of this project is to create an R package and executable scripts to visualize variants in variant call format (VCF) files and bcftools tab-delimited files.

Requirements

In order to run the VisualVariants, users need to install software, programming languages, and packages in their computing systems. The software, programming languages, and packages include:

R>=3.6.0

Installation

You can install the VisualVariants from Github with:

# Run this inside R environment
install.packages("devtools", dependencies = TRUE)
devtools::install_github("yenon118/VisualVariants")

# Run this in your terminal
git clone https://github.com/yenon118/VisualVariants.git
