We're excited release ExonR. This is an R package that allows for interacting with Exon through an ergonomic R interface.

Usage​

As a quick example, we can read in a GFF file from S3 and convert it to a GRanges object.

library(exonr)
library(GenomicRanges)

rdr <- read_gff_file(
  "s3://bucket/path/to/file.gff",
)

df <- as.data.frame(rdr)

gr <- GRanges(
  seqnames = df$seqname,
  ranges = IRanges(
    start = df$start,
    end = df$end,
  ),
)

Installation​

If you're on an x64 machine, you should be able to install a pre-built binary from our R-universe.

install.packages('exonr', repos = c('https://wheretrue.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

This should also build on other platforms, but you'll need to have Rust installed. The main Rust website has a guide for installing rust. Once you have rust installed, you can install ExonR from source with the command above.
