How to cite the Bioconductor package consensus

consensus is a popular Bioconductor package that is available at https://bioconductor.org/packages/consensus. By citing R packages in your paper you lay the grounds for others to be able to reproduce your analysis and secondly you are acknowledging the time and work people have spent creating the package.

APA citation

Formatted according to the APA Publication Manual 7th edition. Simply copy it to the References page as is.

APA

The minimal requirement is to cite the R package in text along with the version number. Additionally, you can include the reference list entry the authors of the consensus package have suggested.

Example of an in-text citation

Analysis of the data was done using the consensus package (v1.8.0; Peters et al., 2019).

               from the application of nucleic acid sequencing and microarray
               technologies. These platforms allow interrogation of patterns
               such as gene expression and DNA methylation at the vast majority
               of canonical loci, allowing granular insights and opportunities
               for validation of original findings. However, problems arise
               when validating against a ``gold standard'' measurement, since
               this immediately biases all subsequent measurements towards that
               particular technology or protocol. Since all genomic
               measurements are estimates, in the absence of a ``gold
               standard'' we instead empirically assess the measurement
               precision and sensitivity of a large suite of genomic
               technologies via a consensus modelling method called the
               row-linear model. This method is an application of the American
               Society for Testing and Materials Standard E691 for assessing
               interlaboratory precision and sources of variability across
               multiple testing sites. Both cross-platform and cross-locus
               comparisons can be made across all common loci, allowing
               identification of technology- and locus-specific tendencies.
               RESULTS: We assess technologies including the Infinium
               MethylationEPIC BeadChip, whole genome bisulfite sequencing
               (WGBS), two different RNA-Seq protocols (PolyA+ and Ribo-Zero)
               and five different gene expression array platforms. Each
               technology thus is characterised herein, relative to the
               consensus. We showcase a number of applications of the
               row-linear model, including correlation with known interfering
               traits. We demonstrate a clear effect of cross-hybridisation on
               the sensitivity of Infinium methylation arrays. Additionally, we
               perform a true interlaboratory test on a set of samples
               interrogated on the same platform across twenty-one separate
               testing laboratories. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: A full
               implementation of the row-linear model, plus extra functions for
               visualisation, are found in the R package consensus at
