## Overview
There are many methods that allow us to extract biological activities
from omics data. `decoupleR` is a Bioconductor package containing
different statistical methods to extract biological signatures from
prior knowledge within a unified framework. Additionally, it
incorporates methods that take into account the sign and weight of
network interactions. `decoupleR` can be used with any omic, as long as
its features can be linked to a biological process based on prior
knowledge. For example, in transcriptomics gene sets regulated by a
transcription factor, or in phospho-proteomics phosphosites that are
targeted by a kinase. This is the R version, for its faster and memory
efficient Python implementation go
[here](https://decoupler-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

# Installation
`decoupleR` is an R package distributed as part of the Bioconductor
project. To install the package, start R and enter:
``` r
install.packages('BiocManager')
BiocManager::install('saezlab/decoupleR')
```
Alternatively, if you find any error, try to install the latest version from GitHub:
```r
install.packages('remotes')
remotes::install_github('saezlab/decoupleR')
```
