Text

All the tools in g:Profiler web server are accessible in GNU R and Python via dedicated software packages gprofiler2 and gprofiler-official, respectively. These packages enable the community to integrate g:Profiler tools to different automated pipelines or to easily access the results for other custom visualizations. Using these packages one can also improve the reproducibility of the analyses as the parameters will be self-documented in the code. The updated R and Python packages utilize the new JSON APIs that now offer a more standardized way to access g:Profiler programmatically. Moreover, the new R package gprofiler2 provides the same interactive visualizations as the ones available in the web tool.
