The package defines many S4 generic functions used in Bioconductor.

This package provides modified versions and novel implementation of functions for parallel evaluation, tailored to use with Bioconductor objects.

This package provides repository information for the appropriate version of Bioconductor.

Infrastructure to support 'views' used to classify Bioconductor packages. 'biocViews' are directed acyclic graphs of terms from a controlled vocabulary. There are three major classifications, corresponding to 'software', 'annotation', and 'experiment data' packages.

The biovizBase package is designed to provide a set of utilities, color schemes and conventions for genomic data. It serves as the base for various high-level packages for biological data visualization. This saves development effort and encourages consistency.

A set of tools to forge BSgenome data packages. Supersedes the old seed-based tools from the BSgenome software package. This package allows the user to create a BSgenome data package in one function call, simplifying the old seed-based process.

A tabular style data object where most data is stored outside main memory. A buffer is used to speed up access to data.

Microarray analysis methods that use BufferedMatrix objects

A general framework for the simulation of ChIP-seq data. Although currently focused on nucleosome positioning the package is designed to support different types of experiments.

CIGAR stands for Concise Idiosyncratic Gapped Alignment Report. CIGAR strings are found in the BAM files produced by most aligners and in the AIRR-formatted output produced by IgBLAST. The cigarillo package provides functions to parse and inspect CIGAR strings, trim them, turn them into ranges of positions relative to the "query space" or "reference space", and project positions or sequences from one space to the other. Note that these operations are low-level operations that the user rarely needs to perform directly. More typically, they are performed behind the scene by higher-level functionality implemented in other packages like Bioconductor packages GenomicAlignments and igblastr.

Define coerce methods for microarray data objects.

Wrapping an array-like object (typically an on-disk object) in a DelayedArray object allows one to perform common array operations on it without loading the object in memory. In order to reduce memory usage and optimize performance, operations on the object are either delayed or executed using a block processing mechanism. Note that this also works on in-memory array-like objects like DataFrame objects (typically with Rle columns), Matrix objects, ordinary arrays and, data frames.

Based on the standard DataFrame metaphor, we are trying to implement the feature of delayed operation on the DelayedDataFrame, with a slot of lazyIndex, which saves the mapping indexes for each column of DelayedDataFrame. Methods like show, validity check, [/[[ subsetting, rbind/cbind are implemented for DelayedDataFrame to be operated around lazyIndex. The listData slot stays untouched until a realization call e.g., DataFrame constructor OR as.list() is invoked.

doseR package is a next generation sequencing package for sex chromosome dosage compensation which can be applied broadly to detect shifts in gene expression among an arbitrary number of pre-defined groups of loci. doseR is a differential gene expression package for count data, that detects directional shifts in expression for multiple, specific subsets of genes, broad utility in systems biology research. doseR has been prepared to manage the nature of the data and the desired set of inferences. doseR uses S4 classes to store count data from sequencing experiment. It contains functions to normalize and filter count data, as well as to plot and calculate statistics of count data. It contains a framework for linear modeling of count data. The package has been tested using real and simulated data.

Serve data from Bioconductor Objects through a WebSocket connection.

This package provides objects to manage WebSocket connections to epiviz apps. Other epivizr package use this infrastructure.

Functions to add metadata to ExperimentHub db and resource files to AWS S3 buckets.

Experiment objects such as the SummarizedExperiment or SingleCellExperiment are data containers for one or more matrix-like assays along with the associated row and column data. Often only a subset of the original data is needed for down-stream analysis. For example, filtering out poor quality samples will require excluding some columns before analysis. The ExperimentSubset object is a container to efficiently manage different subsets of the same data without having to make separate objects for each new subset.

Provides a high-level R interface to CoreArray Genomic Data Structure (GDS) data files. GDS is portable across platforms with hierarchical structure to store multiple scalable array-oriented data sets with metadata information. It is suited for large-scale datasets, especially for data which are much larger than the available random-access memory. The gdsfmt package offers the efficient operations specifically designed for integers of less than 8 bits, since a diploid genotype, like single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), usually occupies fewer bits than a byte. Data compression and decompression are available with relatively efficient random access. It is also allowed to read a GDS file in parallel with multiple R processes supported by the package parallel.

Provides efficient containers for storing and manipulating short genomic alignments (typically obtained by aligning short reads to a reference genome). This includes read counting, computing the coverage, junction detection, and working with the nucleotide content of the alignments.

Extends string parsing capabilities for genomic coordinates, supporting various formats including comma-separated numbers, space-delimited coordinates, and automatic detection of GRanges, GPos, and GInteractions objects.

Provide infrastructure to store and access genomewide position-specific scores within R and Bioconductor.

Produce highly customizable publication quality graphics for genomic data primarily at the cohort level.

The NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) represents the largest public repository of microarray data. However, finding data of interest can be challenging using current tools. GEOmetadb is an attempt to make access to the metadata associated with samples, platforms, and datasets much more feasible. This is accomplished by parsing all the NCBI GEO metadata into a SQLite database that can be stored and queried locally. GEOmetadb is simply a thin wrapper around the SQLite database along with associated documentation. Finally, the SQLite database is updated regularly as new data is added to GEO and can be downloaded at will for the most up-to-date metadata. GEOmetadb paper: http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/short/24/23/2798 .

The ggbio package extends and specializes the grammar of graphics for biological data. The graphics are designed to answer common scientific questions, in particular those often asked of high throughput genomics data. All core Bioconductor data structures are supported, where appropriate. The package supports detailed views of particular genomic regions, as well as genome-wide overviews. Supported overviews include ideograms and grand linear views. High-level plots include sequence fragment length, edge-linked interval to data view, mismatch pileup, and several splicing summaries.

The main function in the h5mread package is h5mread(), which allows reading arbitrary data from an HDF5 dataset into R, similarly to what the h5read() function from the rhdf5 package does. In the case of h5mread(), the implementation has been optimized to make it as fast and memory-efficient as possible.

The HDF5Array package is an HDF5 backend for DelayedArray objects. It implements the HDF5Array, H5SparseMatrix, H5ADMatrix, and TENxMatrix classes, 4 convenient and memory-efficient array-like containers for representing and manipulating either: (1) a conventional (a.k.a. dense) HDF5 dataset, (2) an HDF5 sparse matrix (stored in CSR/CSC/Yale format), (3) the central matrix of an h5ad file (or any matrix in the /layers group), or (4) a 10x Genomics sparse matrix. All these containers are DelayedArray extensions and thus support all operations (delayed or block-processed) supported by DelayedArray objects.

Many tools for data analysis are not available in R, but are present in public repositories like conda. The Herper package provides a comprehensive set of functions to interact with the conda package managament system. With Herper users can install, manage and run conda packages from the comfort of their R session. Herper also provides an ad-hoc approach to handling external system requirements for R packages. For people developing packages with python conda dependencies we recommend using basilisk (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/basilisk.html) to internally support these system requirments pre-hoc.

Many functions for computing the NPMLE for censored and truncated data.

Provides the GInteractions, InteractionSet and ContactMatrix objects and associated methods for storing and manipulating genomic interaction data from Hi-C and ChIA-PET experiments.

Provides efficient low-level and highly reusable S4 classes for storing, manipulating and aggregating over annotated ranges of integers. Implements an algebra of range operations, including efficient algorithms for finding overlaps and nearest neighbors. Defines efficient list-like classes for storing, transforming and aggregating large grouped data, i.e., collections of atomic vectors and DataFrames.

This package was derived from Rsymphony_0.1-17 from CRAN. These packages provide an R interface to SYMPHONY, an open-source linear programming solver written in C++. The main difference between this package and Rsymphony is that it includes the solver source code (SYMPHONY version 5.6), while Rsymphony expects to find header and library files on the users' system. Thus the intention of lpsymphony is to provide an easy to install interface to SYMPHONY. For Windows, precompiled DLLs are included in this package.

Interface to construct LRBase package (LRBase.XXX.eg.db).

S4 generic functions modeled after the 'matrixStats' API for alternative matrix implementations. Packages with alternative matrix implementation can depend on this package and implement the generic functions that are defined here for a useful set of row and column summary statistics. Other package developers can import this package and handle a different matrix implementations without worrying about incompatibilities.

Different data resources for microRNAs and some functions for manipulating them.

Mass spectrometry (MS) data backend supporting import and export of MS/MS library spectra from MassBank record files. Different backends are available that allow handling of data in plain MassBank text file format or allow also to interact directly with MassBank SQL databases. Objects from this package are supposed to be used with the Spectra Bioconductor package. This package thus adds MassBank support to the Spectra package.

MetaboLights is one of the main public repositories for storage of metabolomics experiments, which includes analysis results as well as raw data. The MsBackendMetaboLights package provides functionality to retrieve and represent mass spectrometry (MS) data from MetaboLights. Data files are downloaded and cached locally avoiding repetitive downloads. MS data from metabolomics experiments can thus be directly and seamlessly integrated into R-based analysis workflows with the Spectra and MsBackendMetaboLights package.

MsCoreUtils defines low-level functions for mass spectrometry data and is independent of any high-level data structures. These functions include mass spectra processing functions (noise estimation, smoothing, binning, baseline estimation), quantitative aggregation functions (median polish, robust summarisation, ...), missing data imputation, data normalisation (quantiles, vsn, ...), misc helper functions, that are used across high-level data structure within the R for Mass Spectrometry packages.

Harmonize data management of multiple experimental assays performed on an overlapping set of specimens. It provides a familiar Bioconductor user experience by extending concepts from SummarizedExperiment, supporting an open-ended mix of standard data classes for individual assays, and allowing subsetting by genomic ranges or rownames. Facilities are provided for reshaping data into wide and long formats for adaptability to graphing and downstream analysis.

This package contains class definitions, validity checks, and initialization methods for classes used by the oligo and crlmm packages.

A function to make gene presence/absence calls based on distance from negative strand matching probesets (NSMP) which are derived from Affymetrix annotation. PANP is applied after gene expression values are created, and therefore can be used after any preprocessing method such as MAS5 or GCRMA, or PM-only methods like RMA. NSMP sets have been established for the HGU133A and HGU133-Plus-2.0 chipsets to date.

PhIPData defines an S4 class for phage-immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP-seq) experiments. Buliding upon the RangedSummarizedExperiment class, PhIPData enables users to coordinate metadata with experimental data in analyses. Additionally, PhIPData provides specialized methods to subset and identify beads-only samples, subset objects using virus aliases, and use existing peptide libraries to populate object parameters.

This package provides a DelayedArray interface for plink bed files. There is support for interfacing to plink genotype data via RangedSummarizedExperiment. Example data from the GEUVADIS project (internationalgenome.org) are used for demonstration.

A dplyr-like interface for interacting with the common Bioconductor classes Ranges and GenomicRanges. By providing a grammatical and consistent way of manipulating these classes their accessiblity for new Bioconductor users is hopefully increased.

A library of core preprocessing routines.

The QFeatures infrastructure enables the management and processing of quantitative features for high-throughput mass spectrometry assays. It provides a familiar Bioconductor user experience to manages quantitative data across different assay levels (such as peptide spectrum matches, peptides and proteins) in a coherent and tractable format.

This package provides a flexible representation of copy number, mutation, and other data that fit into the ragged array schema for genomic location data. The basic representation of such data provides a rectangular flat table interface to the user with range information in the rows and samples/specimen in the columns. The RaggedExperiment class derives from a GRangesList representation and provides a semblance of a rectangular dataset.

This package provides a Redis-based back-end for BiocParallel, enabling an alternative mechanism for distributed computation. The The 'manager' distributes tasks to a 'worker' pool through a central Redis server, rather than directly to workers as with other BiocParallel implementations. This means that the worker pool can change dynamically during job evaluation. All features of BiocParallel are supported, including reproducible random number streams, logging to the manager, and alternative 'load balancing' task distributions.

This package provides an interface between HDF5 and R. HDF5's main features are the ability to store and access very large and/or complex datasets and a wide variety of metadata on mass storage (disk) through a completely portable file format. The rhdf5 package is thus suited for the exchange of large and/or complex datasets between R and other software package, and for letting R applications work on datasets that are larger than the available RAM.

Provides a collection of additional compression filters for HDF5 datasets. The package is intended to provide seamless integration with rhdf5, however the compiled filters can also be used with external applications.
