PCAGO is an interactive web service that allows analysis of RNA-Seq read count data with principal component analysis (PCA) and agglomerative clustering. The tool also includes features like read count normalization, filtering read counts by gene annotation and various visualization options.
You can use our server on https://pcago.bioinf.uni-jena.de or run PCAGO on your Linux computer via a server or as standalone application.
If you want to run PCAGO in RStudio or plain R, you find instructions here.
Big thanks go out to Lasse Faber!
docker run -p 8000:8000 --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --rm -it mhoelzer/pcago:1.0--c1e506c ./run_packrat.sh
Run the docker container in the same way like above and additionally connect to the server with port forwarding.
ssh -L 8000:127.0.0.1:8000 your@your.server.com
In both cases you will then be able to access the PCAGO-Server via the following address in your browser: 127.0.0.1:8000.
We have created a new docker container with the PCAGO app and a running shiny server. Run the docker container with e.g.
docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -v "$(pwd)"/logs:/home/shiny/logs trichterhub/pcago-server:1.1
This is the Docker container that powers our server at https://pcago.bioinf.uni-jena.de.
Processes inside docker are started by the shiny user, id 999. User id 999 should have access to the
logs directory on the host machine.
Alternatively, you may start docker with the root user with the --user flag.
We offer an installation script designed for Ubuntu 18.04 that builds the final server and standalone application including installation of dependency packages.
- Clone or download our PCAGO repository
- If needed, extract the *.zip file
- Open a terminal in the downloaded PCAGO folder
- Run
./install.shand follow the instructions
When the installation is finished, you can navigate to the installation directory and
either start pcago-electron.sh to run the standalone application or run ./pcago-server.sh
in a terminal to start the server.
