Calculates functional similarities based on the pathways described on KEGG and REACTOME or in gene sets. These similarities can be calculated for pathways or gene sets, genes, or clusters and combined with other similarities. They can be used to improve networks, gene selection, testing relationships...

Combining P-values from multiple statistical tests is common in bioinformatics. However, this procedure is non-trivial for dependent P-values. This package implements an empirical adaptation of Brown’s Method (an extension of Fisher’s Method) for combining dependent P-values which is appropriate for highly correlated data sets found in high-throughput biological experiments.

STADyUM is a package with functionality for analyzing nascent RNA read counts to infer transcription rates. This includes utilities for processing experimental nascent RNA read counts as well as for simulating PRO-seq data. Rates such as initiation, pause release and landing pad occupancy are estimated from either synthetic or experimental data. There are also options for varying pause sites and including steric hindrance of initiation in the model.

This package contains the Summix2 method for estimating and adjusting for substructure in genetic summary allele frequency data. The function summix() estimates reference group proportions using a mixture model. The adjAF() function produces adjusted allele frequencies for an observed group with reference group proportions matching a target individual or sample. The summix_local() function estimates local ancestry mixture proportions and performs selection scans in genetic summary data.
