fjukstad/kvik-r repository overview

⁠Kvik

A framework for developing interactive data exploration applications in genomics and systems biology. It is a collection of packages in the Go programming language⁠ that help application developers i) interface with the R statistical programming language; ii) specify and run statistical analysis pipelines; and iii) interface with online databases such as MsigDB⁠ and KEGG⁠. It also contains a Javascript package for visualizing KEGG pathways using d3⁠.

Kvik is in continuous development.

⁠Example Applications

⁠Matched Interaction Across Tissues (MIxT)⁠

⁠Kvik Pathways

⁠Name

The project is named after Fridtjof Nansen's⁠ lead slead dog Kvik on his Fram expedition to the North Pole 1893-1896.

⁠History

The project started as a system for exploring KEGG pathway maps together with gene expression datasets from the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC)⁠. Over the course of the last two years the project has moved from being a specific application into a generic framework for building applications that interface with data analysis in R and online databases.
