R package providing access to the data in the OMA browser, using the REST API. As such, it requires a stable internet connection to operate. We also provide a similar wrapper for python (https://github.com/DessimozLab/pyOmaDB).

An notebook containing examples of how to use the package is available here.

If you use our package in your work, please consider citing:

The package is available via Bioconductor (https://bioconductor.org) and can be installed as follows:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager"))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install('OmaDB')

#load the package
library(OmaDB)

Note that the v2.0 of the package requires R version >= 3.6 and Bioconductor version >=3.9.

The latest version of the OmaDB package can also be directly installed from the github repository as below:

install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)
