Seminar Description

This session is dedicated to the topic of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). We will discuss what an API is, when it is used and what advantages does it offer to your analysis pipeline. It will be demonstrated how to download and install geneXplain platform API for R programming language.

Together we will upload files to the platform, launch analysis with a newly added file as an input, export results, and visualise the results in RStudio.

The event will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Alexander Kel and Kamilya Altynbekova.

The following main questions will be in the focus of this seminar:

What is an API and why is it used?
What kind of APIs are available for the geneXplain platform?
Where can you get the geneXplainR package?
How to connect to your existing account in geneXplain platform via API?
How can I use the functionalities of geneXplain platform in my R scripts?

The following examples will be shown

Data import into the platform
Upload of a gene list and a table with metadata from RNA-seq experiment
Workflow launch. Identification of differentially expressed genes
Data manipulation. Table annotation
Export of the obtained results
Visualization of the obtained results with ggplot2 (volcano plot, scatter plot)
Brief intro to the construction of gene regulatory networks and MEALR search

What you will learn in this webseminar
