RTFBS is an R software package used to identify transcription factor binding sites. It contains functions for data pre-processing, site identification & scoring, FDR calculation, and score/FDR thresholding. RTFBS provides a variety of options, allowing users flexibility, all within a highly-developed statistical programming environment.
| Package source: | rtfbs_0.3.5.tar.gz |
| Windows binary: | rtfbs_0.3.5.zip |
| Development version: | rtfbs_0.3.5.tar.gz |
| Latest Windows build (devel): | rtfbs_0.3.5.zip |
RTFBS should install like any R package. It can be obtained and installed via CRAN from within R using the command:
> install.packages("rtfbs")
Note that if you are running Windows or Mac OS X, you will need an up-to-date version of R for this command to work. On Mac OS X with xcode, you can install onto an older R version with the command:
> install.packages("rtfbs", type="source")
Or to use the package files provided on this page, use one of these (depending on your platform):
> install.packages("rtfbs_0.3.5.tar.gz", repos=NULL) #(to install from source code)
> install.packages("rtfbs_0.3.5.zip", repos=NULL) #(to install windows binary)
The package source can also be installed from the command line on non-Windows platforms using the command:
R CMD INSTALL rtfbs_0.3.5.tar.gz
NOTE: If you do not have administrator privileges, you may need to specify a directory where the package will be stored. This can be done with the "library" argument to install.packages, or by using R CMD INSTALL --library=/path/to/library on the command line.

Our next step for RTFBS is to add user supported scoring functions.
