Exploring and visualising spatial proteomics data
=================================================
## Introduction
The
[`pRolocGUI`](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/pRolocGUI.html)
package is an interactive interface to explore and visualise
experimental mass spectrometry-based spatial proteomics data. It
relies on the [`shiny`](http://shiny.rstudio.com/) framework for
interactive visualisation, the
[`MSnbase`](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/MSnbase.html)
package to handle data and metadata and the
[`pRoloc`](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/pRoloc.html)
software for spatial proteomics specific data matters. Example spatial
data is available in the
[`pRolocdata`](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/experiment/html/pRolocdata.html)
experiment package.
The `pRoloc` suite set of software are distributed as part of the
`R`/[Bioconductor](http://bioconductor.org/) project and are developed
by Lisa Breckels at the [Cambridge Centre for Proteomics](http://proteomics.bio.cam.ac.uk)
at the University of Cambridge and by [Laurent Gatto](http://lgatto.github.io/),
director of the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBIO) group
at UCLouvain, in Belgium.
This document describes the installation of the software, followed by
a basic quick start guide for using `pRolocGUI` to search and
visualise spatial proteomics data. Please refer to the respective
documentation and vignettes for full details about the software.

## Installation
`pRolocGUI` is written in the [`R`](http://www.r-project.org/)
programming language. Before installing the software you need to
download `R` and (optionally) `RStudio`.
1) Download the latest `R` release for your operating system from the
[R website](http://www.r-project.org/) and install it.
2) Optional, but
recommended. [Download](http://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/)
and install the RStudio IDE. `RStudio` provides a good code editor and
excellent integration with the `R` terminal.
3) Start `R` or `RStudio`.
4) Install the Bioconductor packages `pRoloc`, `pRolocdata` and
`pRolocGUI`:
`pRolocGUI` requires `R >= 3.1.1` and Bioconductor version `>= 3.0`.
In an `R` console, type
```
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(c("pRoloc", "pRolocdata", "pRolocGUI"))
```
#### Development version
The development code on github can also be installed using
`BiocManager::install` (or `install_github`). New pre-release features
might not be documented or thoroughly tested and could substantially
change prior to release. Use at your own risks.
```
BiocManager::install("ComputationalProteomicsUnit/pRolocGUI")
```
## Getting started
Before using a package's functionality, it needs to be loaded:
```
library("pRolocGUI")
```
We first load data from
[Christoforou et al 2016](http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160112/ncomms9992/full/ncomms9992.html)
distributed in the `pRolocdata` package:
```
library("pRolocdata")
data(hyperLOPIT2015)
```
There are 3 different visualisation applications currently
available: `explore`, `compare` and `aggregate`.
These apps are launched using the `pRolocVis` function and
passing `object`, which is an `MSnSet` containing the data
one wishes to interrogate. One may also specify which app
they wish to use by using the `app` argument, see `?pRolocVis`
for more details. The default app that is loaded if
`app` is not specified is the `explore` application:
```
pRolocVis(hyperLOPIT2015)
```
The graphical interface is described in details in the package
vignette that is included in the package itself (get it by typing
`vignette("pRolocGUI")` in `R`), available by clicking the `?` once
the interface is loaded or can be
[consulted online](http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/pRolocGUI/inst/doc/pRolocGUI.html).
