ggplot2
An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics in R
ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science. -

R Source
Read-only mirror of R source code
The wch/r-source repository is a read-only mirror of the official R language source code, maintained to reflect the upstream Subversion (SVN) R core development tree. This mirror provides public visibility into R’s internals—everything from the interpreter, base and recommended packages, documentation, and C/Fortran code under the hood. It is updated hourly to stay in sync with the upstream SVN. Although it mirrors the R source for browsing and reference, it is not the “canonical development repo* (i.e. you can’t submit pull requests via that mirror). The repository includes build instructions, the full directory structure (src, src/library, doc, etc.), licensing information (GPL-2.0), and documentation. Developers, package authors, and curious users often browse this mirror to inspect implementation details, debug issues, or see how base functions are implemented in C or Fortran. -

ProgrammingAssignment2
Repository for Programming Assignment 2 for R Programming on Coursera
This repository contains the second programming assignment for an R course, focused on caching expensive computations by leveraging R’s scoping rules. The assignment walks you through creating a special matrix object that stores both a matrix and its cached inverse, avoiding repeated calls to costly operations. It builds on a worked example that caches the mean of a numeric vector, demonstrating how the operator preserves state across function calls. You then implement analogous logic for matrices via two functions, one to construct the cache-aware object and another to compute or retrieve the cached inverse. The instructions emphasize using solve for inversion and assuming that the supplied matrix is always invertible. The repository outlines the workflow for forking, editing the provided R stub, committing your solution, and submitting your repository URL as the final deliverable. -

ExData Plotting1
Plotting Assignment 1 for Exploratory Data Analysis
This repository explores household energy usage over time using the “Individual household electric power consumption” dataset from the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository. The dataset covers nearly four years of minute-level measurements, including power consumption, voltage, current intensity, and detailed sub-metering values for different household areas. For analysis, focus is placed on a two-day period in February 2007, highlighting short-term consumption trends. The data requires careful handling due to its size of more than 2 million rows and coded missing values. By processing the date and time fields into proper formats, it becomes possible to generate clear time-series plots of energy usage. The repository demonstrates effective exploratory data analysis practices in R with a reproducible workflow for transforming raw data into visual insights. -

nichenetr
NicheNet: predict active ligand-target links between interacting cells
nichenetr: the R implementation of the NicheNet method. The goal of NicheNet is to study intercellular communication from a computational perspective. NicheNet uses human or mouse gene expression data of interacting cells as input and combines this with a prior model that integrates existing knowledge on ligand-to-target signaling paths. This allows to predict ligand-receptor interactions that might drive gene expression changes in cells of interest. This model of prior information on potential ligand-target links can then be used to infer active ligand-target links between interacting cells. NicheNet prioritizes ligands according to their activity (i.e., how well they predict observed changes in gene expression in the receiver cell) and looks for affected targets with high potential to be regulated by these prioritized ligands. -

TinyTeX
Cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution
A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. TinyTeX, is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size but still functions well in most cases. Even if you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it should be super clear to you what you need to do. In fact, if you are an R Markdown user, there is nothing you need to do, because missing packages will just be installed automatically. You may not even know the existence of LaTeX at all since it should rarely bother you. Currently, TinyTeX works best for R users. Other users can use it, too—it is just that missing LaTeX packages won’t be automatically installed, and you need to install them manually. Or you can go to the extreme to install all packages, but remember there are thousands of them. -

clusterProfiler
A universal enrichment tool for interpreting omics data
clusterProfiler is an R/Bioconductor package that provides a unified workflow for functional enrichment analysis to interpret high-throughput omics results.

The package connects to multiple knowledge bases—such as Gene Ontology, KEGG, Reactome, Disease Ontology, MeSH and others—through a consistent interface so you can query different biological lenses without rewriting code. It is designed for breadth, covering coding and non-coding features and thousands of organisms by leveraging continuously updated annotations. Results are returned in tidy, manipulation-friendly structures and pair naturally with rich visualization functions (via companion tooling) to summarize pathways, terms, and gene–set relationships. -

The repo’s structure includes folders of example apps each implementing a specific trick or pattern (e.g. loading spinners, dynamic UI, hiding/showing UI elements, handling file uploads, URL parameter inputs). Each example is runnable so developers can inspect code and behavior side-by-side. The README acts as a “table of contents” linking to example apps and the contexts in which they are useful (beginner, intermediate, advanced). -
