SRS

R package for microbiome count data normalization by scaling with ranked subsampling (SRS)

CRAN Badge Downloads

Read more about this normalization method in the SRS paper (Beule and Karlovsky, PeerJ 2020).

Installing

Install the latest version from CRAN by running:

install.packages("SRS")

Using

The SRS R package features three R functions:

  • SRS() - performs SRS normalization at a user-defined number of reads per sample (Cmin)
  • SRScurve() - draws alpha diversity rarefaction curves for SRS-normalized data (instead of rarefied data)
  • SRS.shiny.app() - generates a visualization of retained samples, summary statistics, SRS curves, and an interactive table in response to varying Cmin

Refer to the SRS reference manual for usage details.
