    R package installation problem

    Hi,

    I am trying to install the rgl package on my Mac, but I keep failing!

    I tried to install the package directly through R:

    $ install.package(rgl)

    The process stops because of the firewall the company I am working for, and I do not have the privilege to change anything about that.

    I then tried to do the installation through Terminal:

    $ R CMD INSTALL rgz.version.tar.gz

    The output is correct until the last line, in which this appears: configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
    * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/rgl’
    * restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/rgl’

    I tried the same with all the rgl version from the 0.70 to the last one, and had the exact same problem.

    I do have X11 installed and upgraded.

    I am working on a Mac OSX 10.6.8.

    Thanks a lot!

    PS. Also alternatives softwares ideas to plot in 3d pca results are welcome (while I try to solve the problem, I can at least check out my results!)

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
