So you want to make some plots. And the splice junctions we hosted at Shiny.IO didn't cut it.

If we could have freely made all the junctions available, we would have, but the full NYGC dataset is something like 5GB and the RiMOD over a gig as well, and free things have limits.

But do not fear! You are an intrepid traveller and you're willing to try and deploy this app on your desktop

First, you will go to Zenodo and get the full datasets.

You will go here https://zenodo.org/records/15977268

And download the data

full_rimod_parquets.zip nygc_parquets.zip

You are going to download this GitHub repo (this one, where we are, right now)

You are going to upzip those folders.

You are going to navigate to

data > parquets

You are going to delete what is inside the parquets folder, not the folder itself.

You are going to put the thing you have just downloaded (after unzipping) into the the parquets folders.

You are going to double click on the project

RStudio is going to open, and you are not afraid, you can do this. You are going to click on the app.R to open it

You are going to click the button saying run app at the upper right hand side

Test on, say, the annotated version of the STMN2 cryptic exon chr8:79611214-79636802 which won't show up in the hosted version
