How To Install r-cran-alakazam on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-alakazam on Kali Linux. r-cran-alakazam is Immunoglobulin Clonal Lineage and Diversity Analysis

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-alakazam on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-alakazam

r-cran-alakazam is:

Alakazam is part of the Immcantation analysis framework for Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) and provides a set of tools to investigate lymphocyte receptor clonal lineages, diversity, gene usage, and other repertoire level properties, with a focus on high-throughput immunoglobulin (Ig) sequencing.

Alakazam serves five main purposes:

  • Providing core functionality for other R packages in the Immcantation framework. This includes common tasks such as file I/O, basic DNA sequence manipulation, and interacting with V(D)J segment and gene annotations.
  • Providing an R interface for interacting with the output of the pRESTO and Change-O tool suites.
  • Performing lineage reconstruction on clonal populations of Ig sequences and analyzing the topology of the resultant lineage trees.
  • Performing clonal abundance and diversity analysis on lymphocyte repertoires.
  • Performing physicochemical property analyses of lymphocyte receptor sequences.
