Introduction

R programming language has spread across the scientific community as the preferred way of running statistical and graphical analysis. In a biological-data-analysis context, the likelihood of using an R package noticeably increases when the data to be analyzed presents a genetic nature. However, the usage of the R language raises an important drawback: it requires command-line and coding skills to be able to use it in an effective way. Moreover, the complexity of some R operations and calculations could increase the difficulty in the interpretations of some results, even for expert users. The aim of this document is to explain the basis of the solution proposed to increase the usability of the family of CoExpNets R packages (author Juan A. Botía).

Why a web-based user interface?

Due to the huge growth experienced by the Internet and mobile devices during the last decades, it is undeniable that a web-page format is the most well-known and accepted way of browsing the Internet around the world. In this sense, a web-page structure was chosen to make the family of CoExpNets R packages easily accessible to every potential user around the world, at any time and from anywhere they decide to do so.
