This package implements a variety of methods for batch correction in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. It incorporates quantitative metrics (e.g. Wasserstein distance, Adjusted Rand Index) to evaluate their performance. Furthermore, the package assists users in identifying and applying the optimal method for specific datasets.

Provides functions to detect and correct for batch effects in DNA methylation data. The core function is based on latent factor models and can also be used to predict missing values in any other matrix containing real numbers.

These tools facilitate batch effects analysis and correction in high-throughput experiments. It was developed primarily for mass-spectrometry proteomics (DIA/SWATH), but could also be applicable to most omic data with minor adaptations. The package contains functions for diagnostics (proteome/genome-wide and feature-level), correction (normalization and batch effects correction) and quality control. Non-linear fitting based approaches were also included to deal with complex, mass spectrometry-specific signal drifts.

TRIP is a software framework that provides analytics services on antigen receptor (B cell receptor immunoglobulin, BcR IG | T cell receptor, TR) gene sequence data. It is a web application written in R Shiny. It takes as input the output files of the IMGT/HighV-Quest tool. Users can select to analyze the data from each of the input samples separately, or the combined data files from all samples and visualize the results accordingly.

Sequencing and microarray samples often are collected or processed in multiple batches or at different times. This often produces technical biases that can lead to incorrect results in the downstream analysis. BatchQC is a software tool that streamlines batch preprocessing and evaluation by providing interactive diagnostics, visualizations, and statistical analyses to explore the extent to which batch variation impacts the data. BatchQC diagnostics help determine whether batch adjustment needs to be done, and how correction should be applied before proceeding with a downstream analysis. Moreover, BatchQC interactively applies multiple common batch effect approaches to the data and the user can quickly see the benefits of each method. BatchQC is developed as a Shiny App. The output is organized into multiple tabs and each tab features an important part of the batch effect analysis and visualization of the data. The BatchQC interface has the following analysis groups: Summary, Differential Expression, Median Correlations, Heatmaps, Circular Dendrogram, PCA Analysis, Shape, ComBat and SVA.

Provides efficient batch-effect adjustment of data with missing values. BERT orders all batch effect correction to a tree of pairwise computations. BERT allows parallelization over sub-trees.

The POMA package offers a comprehensive toolkit designed for omics data analysis, streamlining the process from initial visualization to final statistical analysis. Its primary goal is to simplify and unify the various steps involved in omics data processing, making it more accessible and manageable within a single, intuitive R package. Emphasizing on reproducibility and user-friendliness, POMA leverages the standardized SummarizedExperiment class from Bioconductor, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with a wide array of Bioconductor tools. This approach guarantees maximum flexibility and replicability, making POMA an essential asset for researchers handling omics datasets. See https://github.com/pcastellanoescuder/POMAShiny.

Like all gene expression data, single-cell data suffers from batch effects and other unwanted variations that makes accurate biological interpretations difficult. The scMerge method leverages factor analysis, stably expressed genes (SEGs) and (pseudo-) replicates to remove unwanted variations and merge multiple single-cell data. This package contains all the necessary functions in the scMerge pipeline, including the identification of SEGs, replication-identification methods, and merging of single-cell data.

The Microbiome Batch Effect Correction Suite (MBECS) provides a set of functions to evaluate and mitigate unwated noise due to processing in batches. To that end it incorporates a host of batch correcting algorithms (BECA) from various packages. In addition it offers a correction and reporting pipeline that provides a preliminary look at the characteristics of a data-set before and after correcting for batch effects.
