## Overview

The [tidyomics](https://github.com/tidyomics) ecosystem is a set of packages for omics data analysis that work together in harmony; they share common Bioconductor data representations and API design consistent with the [tidyverse](https://www.tidyverse.org/) ecosystem. The __tidyomics__ package is designed to make it easy to install and load core packages from the _tidyomics_ ecosystem with a single command.

The core packages are:

```{r, eval = FALSE}
tidyomics_packages()
```

```{r, echo = FALSE}
# Call tidyomics_packages before attaching tidyomics to preserve logical presentation order
tidyomics::tidyomics_packages()
```

## Installation

Installing the __tidyomics__ package will install all core packages of the _tidyomics_ ecosystem. The __tidyomics__ package can be installed from Bioconductor:

```{r eval = FALSE}
BiocManager::install("tidyomics")
```

__plyinteractions__ and __tidySpatialExperiment__ are two new packages in the _tidyomics_ ecosystem. __plyinteractions__ and __tidySpatialExperiment__ are both ready to use and are available in Bioconductor. The packages are now reaching maturity and will be added to the core packages for automatic installation mid-2024. 

For the time being, __plyinteractions__ and __tidySpatialExperiment__ can be installed independently: 

```{r eval = FALSE}
BiocManager::install("plyinteractions")
BiocManager::install("tidySpatialExperiment")
```

## Loading the _tidyomics_ ecosystem

The core _tidyomics_ packages can be attached with:

```{r eval = FALSE}
library(tidyomics)
```

This command also produces a summary of package versions and function conflicts. Function conflicts are a point of ongoing development and will be addressed over time. 

__plyinteractions__ and __tidySpatialExperiment__ can be loaded independently:

```{r eval = FALSE}
library(plyinteractions)
library(tidySpatialExperiment)
```

You are now ready to start using the _tidyomics_ ecosystem.

```{r}
