Dear all: Iis anyone aware of any projects creating an extensible platform that can act as an interface to Bioconductor that could be used to deliver Bioconductor methods to non-command-line-using users? To save some replies: * I am aware of limmaGUI and affylmGUI, but the tcl/tk interface is frustrating to some users who have difficulty installing tcl/tk independently while having R recognize it. Macs and some *nix have been particularly problematic for some reasons. * I am also aware of CARMAweb, bioconductor packages and a few other basic R-web-interfaces, but I would like something more extensible outside of the R framework that could work both in R and in Python/Perl for example. Something more modular. * I'm thinking something like Galaxy or Bioclipse. I realize Ross Lazarus is working on Rgenetics against Galaxy and Galaxy might be a good solution. If anyone is aware of other projects (beginning or ongoing or planned) in this area, I'd deeply appreciate getting pointers to them!

Deanne, SciTegic Enterprise Server and Pipeline Pilot offer an extensible client-server data retrieval, filtering, analysis, and reporting platform. Pipeline Pilot comes with many toolkits called collections. The Gene Expression Collection's core functionality is built on top of BioConductor. The R-Statistics collection can be easily extended to add any desired additional BioConductor functionality. The Professional client has a drag and drop visual icon/data flow interface; the web client can be configured to create different client interfaces. http://accelrys.com/products/scitegic/component-collections/gene- expression.html Scott Deanne Taylor wrote: > Dear all: > > Iis anyone aware of any projects creating an extensible platform that can act as an interface to Bioconductor that could be used to deliver Bioconductor methods to non-command-line-using users? > > To save some replies: > > * I am aware of limmaGUI and affylmGUI, but the tcl/tk interface is frustrating to some users who have difficulty installing tcl/tk independently while having R recognize it.

I'm currently developing a web based interface to Bioconductor for an organization in Ireland as part of a Masters degree. I can give you more details if you are interested. -Paul.

Before you invest too much time yourself, have a look at BioCep, which is essentially a web-based interface to R, Bioconductor and much much more. http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/ I have no idea in which state is BioCep at the moment, but I have seen it working...

I have been pointed not long ago to http://genomebiology.com/2008/9/7/r118 If that can help. Regards, Pierre

Hi Deanne, Maybe not strictly speaking for non-command-line-using users but the "Inference for R" software (not free) allows Microsoft Office users to use R (and R packages) as a scripting language from within an Office document. The code and the data are embedded in the document so, in theory, sharing these documents between users should be easy: http://inferenceforr.com/ Don't miss the 2-minute overview screencast and try to not get to upset by their claim that R lacks facilities to perform reproducible reasearch. (BTW the use of GUIs in general is making reproducible reasearch harder.) Disclaimer: I didn't try "Inference for R" myself and have no plans to use this kind of product. H.

I work on a project, called RGG (R GUI Generator), http://rgg.r-forge.r-project.org . It is still in development phase. The very first idea behind RGG was making a GUI for R scripts, which we have written ourself. So the others, you know who, can make use of R. For describing the GUI, it uses XML. Such GUIs developed by the community will be hosted in a public repository. Any question? I'm pleased to answer all. cheers, ilhami
