scRecover is an R package for imputation of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. It will detect and impute dropout values in a scRNA-seq raw read counts matrix while keeping the real zeros unchanged, since there are both dropout zeros and real zeros in scRNA-seq data. By combination with scImpute, SAVER and MAGIC, scRecover not only detects dropout and real zeros at higher accuracy, but also improve the downstream clustering and visualization results.

sechm provides a simple interface between SummarizedExperiment objects and the ComplexHeatmap package. It enables plotting annotated heatmaps from SE objects, with easy access to rowData and colData columns, and implements a number of features to make the generation of heatmaps easier and more flexible. These functionalities used to be part of the SEtools package.

This includes a set of convenience functions for working with the SummarizedExperiment class. Note that plotting functions historically in this package have been moved to the sechm package (see vignette for details).

While gene signatures are frequently used to predict phenotypes (e.g. predict prognosis of cancer patients), it it not always clear how optimal or meaningful they are (cf David Venet, Jacques E. Dumont, and Vincent Detours' paper "Most Random Gene Expression Signatures Are Significantly Associated with Breast Cancer Outcome"). Based on suggestions in that paper, SigCheck accepts a data set (as an ExpressionSet) and a gene signature, and compares its performance on survival and/or classification tasks against a) random gene signatures of the same length; b) known, related and unrelated gene signatures; and c) permuted data and/or metadata.

Tools for NanoString Technologies GeoMx Technology. Package to easily graph on top of an OME-TIFF image. Plotting annotations can range from tissue segment to gene expression.

This package provides functions for differential gene expression analysis of gene expression time-course data. Natural cubic spline regression models are used. Identified genes may further be used for pathway enrichment analysis and/or the reconstruction of time dependent gene regulatory association networks.

This package provides methods to efficiently detect competitive endogeneous RNA interactions between two genes. Such interactions are mediated by one or several miRNAs such that both gene and miRNA expression data for a larger number of samples is needed as input. The SPONGE package now also includes spongEffects: ceRNA modules offer patient-specific insights into the miRNA regulatory landscape.

Assessment and Comparison for Performance of Risk Prediction (Survival) Models.

`tomoseqr` is an R package for analyzing Tomo-seq data. Tomo-seq is a genome-wide RNA tomography method that combines combining high-throughput RNA sequencing with cryosectioning for spatially resolved transcriptomics. `tomoseqr` reconstructs 3D expression patterns from tomo-seq data and visualizes the reconstructed 3D expression patterns.

Contains a set of functions to perform large-scale analysis of toxicogenomic data, providing a standardized data structure to hold information relevant to annotation, visualization and statistical analysis of toxicogenomic data.

Implements low-level utilities for single-cell trajectory analysis, primarily intended for re-use inside higher-level packages. Include a function to create a cluster-level minimum spanning tree and data structures to hold pseudotime inference results.

transite is a computational method that allows comprehensive analysis of the regulatory role of RNA-binding proteins in various cellular processes by leveraging preexisting gene expression data and current knowledge of binding preferences of RNA-binding proteins.

Provides methods to perform trajectory analysis based on a minimum spanning tree constructed from cluster centroids. Computes pseudotemporal cell orderings by mapping cells in each cluster (or new cells) to the closest edge in the tree. Uses linear modelling to identify differentially expressed genes along each path through the tree. Several plotting and interactive visualization functions are also implemented.

xcore is an R package for transcription factor activity modeling based on known molecular signatures and user's gene expression data. Accompanying xcoredata package provides a collection of molecular signatures, constructed from publicly available ChiP-seq experiments. xcore use ridge regression to model changes in expression as a linear combination of molecular signatures and find their unknown activities. Obtained, estimates can be further tested for significance to select molecular signatures with the highest predicted effect on the observed expression changes.

The Xeva package provides efficient and powerful functions for patient-drived xenograft (PDX) based pharmacogenomic data analysis. This package contains a set of functions to perform analysis of patient-derived xenograft data. This package was developed by the BHKLab, for further information please see our documentation.

receptLoss identifies genes whose expression is lost in subsets of tumors relative to normal tissue. It is particularly well-suited in cases where the number of normal tissue samples is small, as the distribution of gene expression in normal tissue samples is approximated by a Gaussian. Originally designed for identifying nuclear hormone receptor expression loss but can be applied transcriptome wide as well.

Phantasus is a web-application for visual and interactive gene expression analysis. Phantasus is based on Morpheus – a web-based software for heatmap visualisation and analysis, which was integrated with an R environment via OpenCPU API. Aside from basic visualization and filtering methods, R-based methods such as k-means clustering, principal component analysis or differential expression analysis with limma package are supported.
