OncoScore is a tool to measure the association of genes to cancer based on citation frequency in biomedical literature. The score is evaluated from PubMed literature by dynamically updatable web queries.
The R version of OncoScore can be installed from Github. To do so, we need to install the R packages OncoScore depends on and the devtools package.
# install OncoScore dependencies
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("biomaRt")
# install OncoScore library
if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
library("devtools")
install_github("danro9685/OncoScore", ref = "master")
# load OncoScore library
library("OncoScore")
