This post will be relatively different from the rest, and mark a return to active posts to this site.
Over the past several months I have been working in an internship role at GenoSpace, and I had the great opportunity to pursue research while there. And in that research I ended up with an terrific opportunity to employ Shiny analyze and also present my analysis. I was employing one of several statistical tests to identify mutations patterns in cancer, this time looking at data from the Memorial Sloan Kettering’s public MSK-Impact study. However, the results returned by the test were initially fairly difficult and tedious to visualize and to find noticible patterns. I reasoned that an application would allow for a far faster and more dynamic method of sifting through the results rather than working exclusively within R. This also had the added benefit of allowing easier collaboration with colleagues who do not employ R in their work, or for that matter for quick visualizations during presentations.
Take a look at the application below. If you want to do your own analysis on the MSK data, you can find a direct link to the study’s results below as well! Direct Link: https://connorh982.shinyapps.io/driverAnalytics/
