Scripts

R analysis

• File:Array flinterman.R
  • script used for Flinterman paper -- one of the first 'BATCH' functions for analysis of multiple data files
• File:Jax pcr.R
  • for analysis of pbmc pcr data in the JAX project -- good use of %in% and grep as well as loops to mash data together from two sources
• File:Milk mash script.R
  • script used by Wayne and Lara to do interim analysis of milk basophil data
• File:AAAAI rCode.R
  • Lara's analysis script for her abstract using data file, 20080818_BaselineBasoDataWithClinicalGroups.csv. Example of 2-way ANOVA.
• File:Duke extract script.R
  • Wayne's analysis of duke peanut mucosal IT data that extracts text files from FlowJo analysis data directory tree and also mashes up baso data with clinical data file and produces time series data with multiple plots using layout for peanut, controls, egg by treatment or placebo

Shell

• Shell script for reformatting data files from Array scanner to be more easily analyzed in R; removes empty spaces, quotation markes, etc. Also eliminates white space from file names. Requires directory containing data files as input.

Media:rmquote.txt

Perl

• Perl script for reformating BiBTeX files exported from Papers so that they have double braces around the Title field in order to preserve capitalization.

  Usage Syntax: format_bib_file.pl file_in.bib file_out.bib

  Saved with '.txt' instead of '.pl' extension so that it could be uploaded here. May want to add that back and make sure the file is executable on your system using 'chmod u+x', or simply copy text and save into file name of your choosing, but will have to make executable

Media:format-bib.txt
