HuBMAPR: An R client for the HuBMAP data portal

Abstract

The Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) constructs the worldwide available platform to research the human body at the cellular level. The HuBMAP Data Portal encompasses a wide range of data resources measured on emerging experimental technologies at a spatial resolution. To broaden access to the HuBMAP Data Portal, we introduce an R client called HuBMAPR available on Bioconductor. This provides an efficient and programmatic interface that enables researchers to discover and retrieve HuBMAP data more easily and quickly.
