microbialPhenotypes: An R package that analyzes high-throughput microbial phenotype data

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Various microbial high-throughput phenotyping techniques have been vastly conducted to infer functions of genes, generating large numbers of valuable datasets whose potential in providing insights to characterize genes hasn’t been fully exploited. Therefore, computational tools that allow unbiased, systematic analysis of these data also have become vital. Here we describe a package that evaluates high-throughput microbial phenotype data by one or several sets of associated functional annotations are provided. In addition, some helper functions are provided to help clean high-throughput microbial phenotype data.</jats:p>
