dbgapr is a collection of functions that make it easier to organize, view, and use the phenotype data downloaded from the dbGaP.
It is recommended to run dbgapr through RStudio. The table-viewer available in recent versions of RStudio displays dataframe in a human friendly table view, which is perfect for browsing and filtering the dbGaP dataset and variable meta-info resulting from the dbgapr functions. The RStudio desktop version can be downloaded from here.
# The dbgapr development version can be installed from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jameslhao/dbgapr_dev")
