## <a name='introduction'></a> Introduction
Multi-omic Pathway Analysis of Cancer (__MPAC__) is an __R__ package that
interprets multi-omic data through the prior knowledge of biological pathways.
The workflow of MPAC contains several steps, which are shown in
the figure below. MPAC has a
[vignette](https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/MPAC/inst/doc/MPAC.html) that describes each function in details.

## <a name='installation'></a> Installation
### From GitHub
Start __R__ and enter:
```r
devtools::install_github('pliu55/MPAC')
```
### From Bioconductor
Start __R__ and enter:
```r
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
# The following initializes usage of Bioc devel
BiocManager::install(version='devel')
BiocManager::install("MPAC")
```
## <a name="shinyapp"></a> Shiny App
To explore key results reported in the MPAC manuscript as well as associated
results please check out
[this R Shiny app](https://github.com/pliu55/MPAC_Shiny).
## <a name="softwaredependency"></a> Software Dependency
The `runPrd()` function requires an external software named
[PARADIGM](https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btq182),
which is only available for
[Linux](
https://github.com/sng87/paradigm-scripts/tree/master/public/exe/LINUX) and
[MacOS](
https://github.com/sng87/paradigm-scripts/tree/master/public/exe/MACOSX).
For details, please see the __Required external software__ section in vignette's __Run PARADIGM: runPrd()__.
