The genotypes of 1210 maize lines at 35,370,939 SNP sites are stored using Sparse Matrices in R.


Use MaizeSNPDB online

MaizeSNPDB is deployed at https://venyao.xyz/MaizeSNPDB/ for online use.
MaizeSNPDB is idle until you activate it by accessing the URL. So it may take some time when you access this URL for the first time. Once it was activated, MaizeSNPDB could be used smoothly and easily.


Launch MaizeSNPDB directly from R and GitHub

User can choose to run MaizeSNPDB installed locally for a more preferable experience.

Step 1: Install R and RStudio

Before running the app you will need to have R and RStudio installed (tested with R 3.4.4 and RStudio 1.1.442).
Please check CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/) for the installation of R.
Please check https://www.rstudio.com/ for the installation of RStudio.

Step 2: Install the R Shiny package and other packages required by MaizeSNPDB

Start an R session using RStudio and run these lines:

# try an http CRAN mirror if https CRAN mirror doesn't work  
install.packages("shiny")  
install.packages("shinyBS")  
install.packages("shinythemes")  
install.packages("shinycssloaders")  
install.packages("plotly")  
install.packages("foreach")  
install.packages("ape")  
install.packages("pegas")  
install.packages("plyr")  
install.packages("dplyr")  
install.packages("tidyr")  
install.packages("gridExtra")  
install.packages("genetics")  
install.packages("BiocManager")    
BiocManager::install("IRanges")
BiocManager::install("snpStats")
BiocManager::install("chopsticks")  
BiocManager::install("ggtree")  
# try an http CRAN mirror if https CRAN mirror doesn't work  
install.packages("LDheatmap")
# install shinysky  
install.packages("devtools")  
devtools::install_github("venyao/ShinySky", force=TRUE)  

Step 3: Start the app

Start an R session using RStudio and run these lines:

library(shiny)  
runGitHub("MaizeSNPDB", "venyao", launch.browser = TRUE)  

This command will download the code of MaizeSNPDB from GitHub to a temporary directory of your computer and then launch the MaizeSNPDB app in the web browser. Once the web browser was closed, the downloaded code of MaizeSNPDB would be deleted from your computer. Next time when you run this command in RStudio, it will download the source code of MaizeSNPDB from GitHub to a temporary directory again. This process is frustrating since it takes some time to download the code of MaizeSNPDB from GitHub.

Users are suggested to download the source code of MaizeSNPDB from Jianguoyun (https://www.jianguoyun.com/p/Dby8fCUQzqnhBRiv64UB) or GitHub (https://github.com/venyao/MaizeSNPDB) to a fixed directory of your computer, such as ‘E:\apps’ on Windows. Following the procedure illustrated in the following figure, a zip file named ‘MaizeSNPDB-master.zip’ (GitHub) or ‘MaizeSNPDB.zip’ (Jianguoyun) would be downloaded to the disk of your computer. Move this file to ‘E:\apps’ and unzip this file. Then a directory named ‘MaizeSNPDB-master’ or ‘MaizeSNPDB’ would be generated in ‘E:\apps’. The scripts ‘server.R’ and ‘ui.R’ could be found in ‘E:\apps\MaizeSNPDB-master’ or ‘E:\apps\MaizeSNPDB’.
