plyxp

plyxp provides rlang data masks for the SummarizedExperiment class, enabling dplyr-like manipulation of genomic data without converting to rectangular data.frame structures.

Key Features:

• rlang data masks: Enables evaluation of unquoted expressions within different contexts of the SummarizedExperiment object.
• Cross-context access: Allows optional access to other contexts within the SummarizedExperiment during expression evaluation.
• Native SummarizedExperiment preservation: Maintains data in its original Bioconductor structure without unwinding to rectangular data.frame format.

Scientific Applications:

• SummarizedExperiment manipulation: Facilitates dplyr-like data manipulation workflows directly on Bioconductor SummarizedExperiment objects for genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Methodology:

The package implements rlang data masks to enable evaluation of unquoted expressions in different contexts of the SummarizedExperiment object.
