1- download the project from github.
2- set the directory where you extract the project as your working directory in R by using the command setwd('PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT').
3- install the required packages by running the install-packages.r script.
4- in the R-console, type runApp().
5- a browser page should open with the app.
6- for the next time you want to run the app, you can just go your R-console and type shiny::runApp('PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT'). Thus if you have installed this app in a directory named work under your home directory, you should type shiny::runApp('~/work/G4HunterTable/').

This app reads a list of sequences in a text or (multi)fasta format and computes the G4Hunter score for each sequence as in the G4Hunter paper as well as the length of each sequence.

For file in the text format, each line should contains only one sequence in the DNA or RNA alphabet.
If the first line contains information other than sequence, it can be removed by checking the corresponding box.
Each line should contains only the sequence, no other information like names or numbers.

For file in the fasta format, each sequence is reported in 2 lines. The first line starting with > correspond to the name of the sequence and the second line is the proper sequences that have to be in the DNA alphabet.
Sequences names are NOT kept.

The output is a table reporting the sequence, G4Hunter score and length for each sequence.
This table can be downloaded in a text format in which columns are seperated by tabulation.
