AnVILPublish

AnVILPublish creates and updates AnVIL workspaces from R and Bioconductor packages, translating package metadata and vignettes into workspace dashboards and executable Python notebooks.

Key Features:

• Workspace Creation and Update: Generates or modifies AnVIL workspaces from R and Bioconductor package resources.
• Dashboard Population: Extracts select metadata from package DESCRIPTION files and vignette YAML headings to populate the workspace DASHBOARD.
• Vignette Translation: Converts R vignettes into Python notebooks formatted for evaluation in AnVIL.

Scientific Applications:

• Cloud-Based Computational Reproducibility: Enables dissemination of Bioconductor analyses through AnVIL's cloud-native platform.
• Interactive Analysis Sharing: Facilitates distribution of R-based bioinformatics workflows as executable Python notebooks in controlled-access environments.

Methodology:

Extracts metadata from package DESCRIPTION files and vignette YAML headings; translates R vignettes to Python notebooks.
