Goal

chromHMMviewR is an R package to visualize data from ChromHMM.

After running chromHMM, I always had problems to integrate the results in my reports, so I started developping some functions to visualize the heatmaps that chromHMM shows you, but using ggplot2 instead. Finally, in order to practice the creation of R packages, I decided to follow these guides to turn the functions into a package.

Install chromHMMviewR

To install chromHMMveiwR, you have to run:

# install the devtools package from CRAN (only if you don't have it)
install.packages("devtools")
