🎉 My first paper is out in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics!

We developped Cluefish - an open-source R workflow designed for untargeted biological interpretation of transcriptomic data series.

If you're interested, take a gander:

Presented cluefish 🎣 at @setac.bsky.social Europe in Vienna! It's an open-source R workflow for untargeted, comprehensive interpretation of transcriptomic data series 🧬
Curious? Check out the Github repo (github.com/ellfran-7/cl...) and the preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...).

I led my first ever workshop on Reproducible Research last week for members of my lab 🎉 It was such fun! It started with an open discussion, followed by a hands-on Quarto introduction. I even created a Quarto website for the occasion. Feel free to check it out! ellfran-7.github.io/repro-resear...

In case you ever wondered about the differences between magrittr pipe and base pipe 🤔

I was thinking of setting up a GitHub account (or repo) for our lab where members could share useful lab-specific functions and Quarto report templates. Is this something other labs do, especially those where bioinformatics or data science isn't the primary focus?

#rstats and #QuartoPub PSA: @vincentab.bsky.social's {tinytable} is the absolute best table making package out there for LaTeX output (it natively supports tabularray!), and it's phenomenal for HTML. It has fully replaced {gt} and {kableExtra} for me vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

Last month, I finally dove into building my Quarto website 🎉
It was easy peasy thanks to @cwick.co.nz, @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social, and @minecr.bsky.social with their video series (quarto.org/docs/blog/po...)! I highly recommend it!
I can now share various bits and bobs 📚

Possibly useful little #Rstats trick:

edit(names(iris))

will create a popup with the R code for the character vector containing the column names of your data frame that you can copy and paste, e.g.

c("Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length", "Petal.Width", "Species")

Just pushed a Christmas update to {ggblanket}. I decided to support colour blending. It uses {ggblend} under the hood (thanks @mjskay.com), which uses graphics features developed by Paul Murrell. Give {ggblanket} and {ggblend} a star, if you find them useful. Oh, and have a merry Christmas #rstats

When using R, I either feel like a genius, or I feel as if I'm in imminent danger of having my degrees revoked. There is no in between.

Ey up! 👋 Just teleported myself here and plan to mainly use this platform for all things R, Quarto, and reproducible research. If you're into the same, feel free to follow! #R #quarto

All the links to packages and resources I mentioned are there, so hopefully this can be a nice reference, too!
