# glmmSeq 

<img src="https://myles-lewis.github.io/glmmSeq/logo.png" align="right" alt="" width="200" hspace="20" />



This R package is designed to model gene expression with a general linear mixed model (GLMM). This allows us to include random effects as well as fixed effects. For the purpose of the package we use the `glmer` function from the [`lme4`](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=lme4)
package which fits a GLMM.

This package focuses in particular on changes in genes expression between different response or treatment groups over time. 


# Loading the package

### From CRAN

```
install.packages("glmmSeq")
```

### From Github

```
devtools::install_github("myles-lewis/glmmSeq")
```

### Locally

You can also download the source directory and load the functions individually:

```
functions = list.files("./R", full.names = TRUE)
invisible(lapply(functions, source))
```

But you will need to load in the additional libraries then:

```
# Install CRAN packages
invisible(lapply(c("MASS", "car", "ggplot2", "ggpubr", "lme4", 
                   "lmerTest", "methods", "parallel", "plotly", 
                   "pbapply", "pbmcapply"),
                 function(p){
                   if(! p %in% rownames(installed.packages())) {
                     install.packages(p)
                   }
                   library(p, character.only=TRUE)
                 }))

# Install BioConductor packages
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("BiocManager")
invisible(lapply(c("qvalue"), function(p){
  if(! p %in% rownames(installed.packages())) BiocManager::install(p)
  library(p, character.only=TRUE)
}))
```
