## TL;DR

HuBMAPR is an R tool that helps researchers access and retrieve detailed human body data from the HuBMAP Data Portal more efficiently.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the development of an R client for programmatic access to HuBMAP data.

## Key findings

- HuBMAPR provides an efficient interface for discovering and retrieving HuBMAP data.
- The R client is available on Bioconductor, improving accessibility for researchers.

## Abstract

The Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) constructs the worldwide available platform to research the human body at the cellular level. The HuBMAP Data Portal encompasses a wide range of data resources measured on emerging experimental technologies at a spatial resolution. To broaden access to the HuBMAP Data Portal, we introduce an R client called HuBMAPR available on Bioconductor. This provides an efficient and programmatic interface that enables researchers to discover and retrieve HuBMAP data more easily and quickly.

HuBMAPR is available at https://bioconductor.org/packages/HuBMAPR.
