recipe bioconductor-ucsc.utils

Low-level utilities to retrieve data from the UCSC Genome Browser

Homepage:: https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.20/bioc/html/UCSC.utils.html
License:: Artistic-2.0
Recipe:: /bioconductor-ucsc.utils/meta.yaml

A set of low-level utilities to retrieve data from the UCSC Genome Browser. Most functions in the package access the data via the UCSC REST API but some of them query the UCSC MySQL server directly. Note that the primary purpose of the package is to support higher-level functionalities implemented in downstream packages like GenomeInfoDb or txdbmaker.

Installation¶

You need a conda-compatible package manager (currently either pixi, conda, or micromamba) and the Bioconda channel already activated (see Usage). Below, we show how to install with either pixi or conda (for micromamba and mamba, commands are essentially the same as with conda).

Pixi¶

With pixi installed and the Bioconda channel set up (see Usage), to install globally, run:

pixi global install bioconductor-ucsc.utils

to add into an existing workspace instead, run:

pixi add bioconductor-ucsc.utils

In the latter case, make sure to first add bioconda and conda-forge to the channels considered by the workspace:

pixi workspace channel add conda-forge
pixi workspace channel add bioconda

Conda¶

With conda installed and the Bioconda channel set up (see Usage), to install into an existing and activated environment, run:

conda install bioconductor-ucsc.utils

Alternatively, to install into a new environment, run:

conda create -n envname bioconductor-ucsc.utils

with envname being the name of the desired environment.

Container¶

Alternatively, every Bioconda package is available as a container image for usage with your preferred container runtime. For e.g. docker, run:

docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/bioconductor-ucsc.utils:<tag>

(see bioconductor-ucsc.utils/tags for valid values for <tag>).

Integrated deployment¶

Finally, note that many scientific workflow management systems directly integrate both conda and container based software deployment. Thus, workflow steps can be often directly annotated to use the package, leading to automatic deployment by the respective workflow management system, thereby improving reproducibility and transparency. Check the documentation of your workflow management system to find out about the integration.
