abstract: mastR is an R package designed for automated screening of signatures of
  interest for specific research questions. The package is developed for generating
  refined lists of signature genes from multiple group comparisons based on the results
  from edgeR and limma differential expression (DE) analysis workflow. It also takes
  into account the background noise of tissue-specificity, which is often ignored
  by other marker generation tools. This package is particularly useful for the identification
  of group markers in various biological and medical applications, including cancer
  research and developmental biology.
