rTASSEL Use TASSEL from R (rTASSEL)

rTASSEL is an R-based front-end for accessing key TASSEL 5 methods and tools. It lets you run powerful TASSEL analyses within a unified R workflow, without switching between environments.

Install

rTASSEL is installed from GitHub with pak.

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("maize-genetics/rTASSEL@v0.12.0")

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("maize-genetics/rTASSEL")

Requirements

rTASSEL uses rJava, so you need a working version of Java (>= 8). Mac/Linux users may need to run R CMD javareconf if they run into issues installing rJava via pak.

Verify your setup

For an overview of the available functions once installed, run:
