A flexible Julia toolkit for high-dimensional cellular profiles

Introduction

This package allows to perform robust multidimensional profiling in 'Julia' and comes with helper functions, especially designed for high-content imaging-based morphological profiling.

Installation

Installation from Julia's package repository (easiest option)

You can simply add this package from the Julia repository like any other package:

import Pkg
Pkg.add("BioProfiling")
using BioProfiling

Local installation

Alternatively, you may use the following to load this package after cloning this repository:

import Pkg
Pkg.activate(<pathToThisFolder>)
using BioProfiling
Pkg.activate()

Installation from GitHub

Use the following to install the package:

import Pkg
Pkg.add(Pkg.PackageSpec(url = "https://github.com/menchelab/BioProfiling.jl.git"))

You can then import the package normally:

using BioProfiling
