Differential expression analysis of RNA-seq using the Poisson-Tweedie (PT) family of distributions. PT distributions are described by a mean, a dispersion and a shape parameter and include Poisson and NB distributions, among others, as particular cases. An important feature of this family is that, while the Negative Binomial (NB) distribution only allows a quadratic mean-variance relationship, the PT distributions generalizes this relationship to any orde.

Inference and detection of switch-like differential expression across single-cell RNA-seq trajectories.

This package builds on the Epimods framework which facilitates finding weighted subnetworks ("modules") on Illumina Infinium 27k arrays using the SpinGlass algorithm, as implemented in the iGraph package. We have created a class of gene centric annotations associated with p-values and effect sizes and scores from any researchers prior statistical results to find functional modules.

Cell differentiation processes are achieved through a continuum of hierarchical intermediate cell-states that might be captured by single-cell RNA seq. Existing computational approaches for the assessment of cell-state hierarchies from single-cell data might be formalized under a general workflow composed of i) a metric to assess cell-to-cell similarities (combined or not with a dimensionality reduction step), and ii) a graph-building algorithm (optionally making use of a cells-clustering step). Sincell R package implements a methodological toolbox allowing flexible workflows under such framework. Furthermore, Sincell contributes new algorithms to provide cell-state hierarchies with statistical support while accounting for stochastic factors in single-cell RNA seq. Graphical representations and functional association tests are provided to interpret hierarchies.

A preprocessing pipeline for single cell RNA-seq/ATAC-seq data that starts from the fastq files and produces a feature count matrix with associated quality control information. It can process fastq data generated by CEL-seq, MARS-seq, Drop-seq, Chromium 10x and SMART-seq protocols.

RnaSeqSampleSize package provides a sample size calculation method based on negative binomial model and the exact test for assessing differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data. It controls FDR for multiple testing and utilizes the average read count and dispersion distributions from real data to estimate a more reliable sample size. It is also equipped with several unique features, including estimation for interested genes or pathway, power curve visualization, and parameter optimization.

A parser for mzIdentML files implemented using the XML package. The parser tries to be general and able to handle all types of mzIdentML files with the drawback of having less 'pretty' output than a vendor specific parser. Please contact the maintainer with any problems and supply an mzIdentML file so the problems can be fixed quickly.

This package applies several machine learning methods, including SVM, bagSVM, Random Forest and CART to RNA-Seq data.

Multivariate methods are well suited to large omics data sets where the number of variables (e.g. genes, proteins, metabolites) is much larger than the number of samples (patients, cells, mice). They have the appealing properties of reducing the dimension of the data by using instrumental variables (components), which are defined as combinations of all variables. Those components are then used to produce useful graphical outputs that enable better understanding of the relationships and correlation structures between the different data sets that are integrated. mixOmics offers a wide range of multivariate methods for the exploration and integration of biological datasets with a particular focus on variable selection. The package proposes several sparse multivariate models we have developed to identify the key variables that are highly correlated, and/or explain the biological outcome of interest. The data that can be analysed with mixOmics may come from high throughput sequencing technologies, such as omics data (transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, metagenomics etc) but also beyond the realm of omics (e.g. spectral imaging). The methods implemented in mixOmics can also handle missing values without having to delete entire rows with missing data. A non exhaustive list of methods include variants of generalised Canonical Correlation Analysis, sparse Partial Least Squares and sparse Discriminant Analysis. Recently we implemented integrative methods to combine multiple data sets: N-integration with variants of Generalised Canonical Correlation Analysis and P-integration with variants of multi-group Partial Least Squares.

MS-based metabolomics data processing and compound annotation pipeline.

This package provides functions for preprocessing, automated gating and meta-analysis of cytometry data. It also provides functions that facilitate the collection of cytometry data from the ImmPort database.

This package is designed for the import, quality control, analysis, and visualization of methylation data generated using Sequenom's MassArray platform. The tools herein contain a highly detailed amplicon prediction for optimal assay design. Also included are quality control measures of data, such as primer dimer and bisulfite conversion efficiency estimation. Methylation data are calculated using the same algorithms contained in the EpiTyper software package. Additionally, automatic SNP-detection can be used to flag potentially confounded data from specific CG sites. Visualization includes barplots of methylation data as well as UCSC Genome Browser-compatible BED tracks. Multiple assays can be positionally combined for integrated analysis.

This package provides ISoLDE a new method for identifying imprinted genes. This method is dedicated to data arising from RNA sequencing technologies. The ISoLDE package implements original statistical methodology described in the publication below.

The outcome of XCMS data processing strongly depends on the parameter settings. IPO (`Isotopologue Parameter Optimization`) is a parameter optimization tool that is applicable for different kinds of samples and liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry devices, fast and free of labeling steps. IPO uses natural, stable 13C isotopes to calculate a peak picking score. Retention time correction is optimized by minimizing the relative retention time differences within features and grouping parameters are optimized by maximizing the number of features showing exactly one peak from each injection of a pooled sample. The different parameter settings are achieved by design of experiment. The resulting scores are evaluated using response surface models.

The package implements GUIDE-seq and PEtag-seq analysis workflow including functions for filtering UMI and reads with low coverage, obtaining unique insertion sites (proxy of cleavage sites), estimating the locations of the insertion sites, aka, peaks, merging estimated insertion sites from plus and minus strand, and performing off target search of the extended regions around insertion sites with mismatches and indels.

The main function is doppelgangR(), which takes as minimal input a list of ExpressionSet object, and searches all list pairs for duplicated samples. The search is based on the genomic data (exprs(eset)), phenotype/clinical data (pData(eset)), and "smoking guns" - supposedly unique identifiers found in pData(eset).

This package provides extensive functionality for comparing results obtained by different methods for differential expression analysis of RNAseq data. It also contains functions for simulating count data. Finally, it provides convenient interfaces to several packages for performing the differential expression analysis.

This Rcpp-based package implements a highly efficient data structure and algorithm for performing alignment of short reads from CRISPR or shRNA screens to reference barcode library. Sequencing error are considered and matching qualities are evaluated based on Phred scores. A Bayes' classifier is employed to predict the originating barcode of a read. The package supports provision of user-defined probability models for evaluating matching qualities. The package also supports multi-threading.
