Overview of drawProteins

This package has been created to allow the visualisation of protein schematics based on the data obtained from the Uniprot Protein Database.

The basic workflow is:

• to provide one or more Uniprot IDs

• get a list of features from the Uniprot API

• draw the basic chains of these proteins

• add features as desired

drawProteins uses the package httr to interact with the Uniprot API and extract a JSON object into R. The JSON object is used to create a data.table.

The graphing package ggplot2 is then used to create the protein schematic.

The Vignette gives a good overview of the package.
