3.1 Quick start

The iSEE package is built around the iSEE() function.

In the simplest case, given nothing more than a SummarizedExperiment object, the iSEE() function automatically scans the object for information stored in standard components and returns a shiny app object. If the shiny app object is not assigned to an object name, the app is immediately launched in a new window.

The code chunk below illustrate conceptually how:

• Packages are attached to the R session.
• A SummarizedExperiment object is produced.
• A SummarizedExperiment object is given to the iSEE() function.

library(SummarizedExperiment)
library(iSEE)
se <- SummarizedExperiment(...)
iSEE(se)

Warning

In the code chunk above, SummarizedExperiment(...) is pseudo-code that represents the creation of a SummarizedExperiment object; do not run that code! In practice, you will produce those objects through your own scripts and workflows.
