Rice Microarray Probe ID Conversion, from Probe ID to RAP-DB ID
c(person("Youming", "Liu", role = c("aut", "cre","cph"),
email = "lym@g.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp") )
Microarray probe ID is not convenient for further enrichment analysis and target gene selection.
The package is created for the rice microarray probe ID conversion.
This package can convert microarray probe ID from GPL6864 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL6864>, GPL8852 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL8852>, and GPL2025 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL2025> platforms to RAP-DB ID. RAP-DB "The Rice Annotation Project Database" <https://rapdb.dna.affrc.go.jp> is a well-known database for rice Oryza sativa, and the gene ID in this database is widely used in many areas related to rice research.
For multiple probes representing a single gene, This package can merge them by taking the mean, max, or min value of these probes.
Or we can keep multiple probes by appending sequence numbers to duplicate the RAP-DB ID.

Generation of Customizable, Discretized Time Series of
Oscillating Species
person("Arne", "Schoch", email = "arne_schoch@gmx.net", role = c("aut", "cre"))
The supplied code allows for the generation of discrete time series of oscillating species. General shapes can be selected by means of individual functions, which are widely customizable by means of function arguments. All code was developed in the Biological Information Processing Group at the BioQuant Center at Heidelberg University, Germany.
