MicrobioUoE is an R package built to allow sharing of R code and functions between the lab groups of Angus Buckling and Edze Westra. As we do very similar analyses and use similar code, this should act as an easy way to share R code.

For problems and suggestions please email Daniel Padfield [email protected]

Installation of packages from GitHub is relatively straightforward.

# firstly need to make sure devtools is installed
install.packages('devtools')

# install MicrobioUoE
devtools::install_github('padpadpadpad/MicrobioUoE')

• bind_biolog_sheet()
  • cleans and binds biolog data on a single sheet of an excel spreadsheet. Returns a dataframe where each substrate is a column and each row is a separate plate. The values in each column are the OD readings of that plate in that substrate.
• bind_biolog_all()
  • cleans and binds biolog data across multiple sheets of an excel spreadsheet. Returns a dataframe where each substrate is a column and each row is a separate plate. The values in each column are the OD readings of that plate in that substrate. Also includes columns for the sheet and plate of each row.

filename <- '~/Desktop/biolog_data.xlsx'
sheets <- paste0('S', 1:10, sep = '')


MicrobioUoE::bind_biolog_all(filename, sheets)

• stock_sol_vol()
  • calculates the amount of volume needed to dilute a stock solution to a required concentration and volume

MicrobioUoE::stock_sol_vol(stock_sol_conc = 0.75, new_sol_conc = 0.2, new_sol_vol = 1000)
#> [1] 266.6667

• calc_norm_OD()
  • takes an csv of OD readings and writes another csv of the required volumes to normalise the concentrations across samples

MicrobioUoE::calc_norm_OD('first_OD_readings.csv', 
                          'df_volumes.csv', 
                          new_sol_conc = 0.1,
                          new_sol_vol = 1000,
                          control = 0.035)

• moveRmdOutput()
  • Automatically moves .Rmd Output files into a separate folder after rendering. Just need to specify the Rmarkdown folder and the Output folder

MicrobioUoE::moveRmdOutput('~/Desktop/My_experiment/Rmd_path', '~/Desktop/My_experiment/Output_path')

• package_install_all()
  • Allows the installation of packages from CRAN, GitHub and Bioconductor at the same time. This is useful when you are starting a new analysis and already have a list of packages you need to use.

cran_packages <- c('dplyr', 'ggplot2', 'tidyr')
github_packages <- c('padpadpadpad/nlsLoop')
bioc_packages <- c('phangorn')

MicrobioUoE::package_install_all(cran_packages, github_packages, bioc_packages)

If you have a piece of code you use regularly or a set of functions you use all the time and would like to integrate those into this package for others to use as well, please email at the address above or comment on the Issues tab.

Alternatively come find me for a chat about how I can help.
