TimeScape is an automated tool for navigating temporal clonal evolution data. The key attributes of this implementation involve the enumeration of clones, their evolutionary relationships and their shifting dynamics over time. TimeScape requires two inputs: (i) the clonal phylogeny and (ii) the clonal prevalences. Optionally, TimeScape accepts a data table of targeted mutations observed in each clone and their allele prevalences over time. The output is the TimeScape plot showing clonal prevalence vertically, time horizontally, and the plot height optionally encoding tumour volume during tumour-shrinking events. At each sampling time point (denoted by a faint white line), the height of each clone accurately reflects its proportionate prevalence. These prevalences form the anchors for bezier curves that visually represent the dynamic transitions between time points.

To facilitate and streamline phosphoproteomics data analysis, we developed SmartPhos, an R package for the pre-processing, quality control, and exploratory analysis of phosphoproteomics data generated by MaxQuant and Spectronaut. The package can be used either through the R command line or through an interactive ShinyApp called SmartPhos Explorer. The package contains methods such as normalization and normalization correction, transformation, imputation, batch effect correction, PCA, heatmap, differential expression, time-series clustering, gene set enrichment analysis, and kinase activity inference.

Visualising oligonucleotide patterns and sequence motifs occurrences across a large set of sequences centred at a common reference point and sorted by a user defined feature.

The scRNAseqApp is a Shiny app package designed for interactive visualization of single-cell data. It is an enhanced version derived from the ShinyCell, repackaged to accommodate multiple datasets. The app enables users to visualize data containing various types of information simultaneously, facilitating comprehensive analysis. Additionally, it includes a user management system to regulate database accessibility for different users.

scBubbletree is a quantitative method for the visual exploration of scRNA-seq data, preserving key biological properties such as local and global cell distances and cell density distributions across samples. It effectively resolves overplotting and enables the visualization of diverse cell attributes from multiomic single-cell experiments. Additionally, scBubbletree is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with popular scRNA-seq analysis tools, facilitating comprehensive and intuitive data interpretation.

Modular package for generation of sets of ranges representing the null hypothesis. These can take the form of bootstrap samples of ranges (using the block bootstrap framework of Bickel et al 2010), or sets of control ranges that are matched across one or more covariates. nullranges is designed to be inter-operable with other packages for analysis of genomic overlap enrichment, including the plyranges Bioconductor package.

Data quality assessment is an integral part of preparatory data analysis to ensure sound biological information retrieval. We present here the MatrixQCvis package, which provides shiny-based interactive visualization of data quality metrics at the per-sample and per-feature level. It is broadly applicable to quantitative omics data types that come in matrix-like format (features x samples). It enables the detection of low-quality samples, drifts, outliers and batch effects in data sets. Visualizations include amongst others bar- and violin plots of the (count/intensity) values, mean vs standard deviation plots, MA plots, empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) plots, visualizations of the distances between samples, and multiple types of dimension reduction plots. Furthermore, MatrixQCvis allows for differential expression analysis based on the limma (moderated t-tests) and proDA (Wald tests) packages. MatrixQCvis builds upon the popular Bioconductor SummarizedExperiment S4 class and enables thus the facile integration into existing workflows. The package is especially tailored towards metabolomics and proteomics mass spectrometry data, but also allows to assess the data quality of other data types that can be represented in a SummarizedExperiment object.

MapScape integrates clonal prevalence, clonal hierarchy, anatomic and mutational information to provide interactive visualization of spatial clonal evolution. There are four inputs to MapScape: (i) the clonal phylogeny, (ii) clonal prevalences, (iii) an image reference, which may be a medical image or drawing and (iv) pixel locations for each sample on the referenced image. Optionally, MapScape can accept a data table of mutations for each clone and their variant allele frequencies in each sample. The output of MapScape consists of a cropped anatomical image surrounded by two representations of each tumour sample. The first, a cellular aggregate, visually displays the prevalence of each clone. The second shows a skeleton of the clonal phylogeny while highlighting only those clones present in the sample. Together, these representations enable the analyst to visualize the distribution of clones throughout anatomic space.

Implement in an efficient approach to display the genomic data, relationship, information in an interactive circular genome(Circos) plot. 'interacCircos' are inspired by 'circosJS', 'BioCircos.js' and 'NG-Circos' and we integrate the modules of 'circosJS', 'BioCircos.js' and 'NG-Circos' into this R package, based on 'htmlwidgets' framework.

GOfan provides an intuitive and compact visualization of Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment results using a sunburst layout inspired by SynGO, preserving hierarchical relationships among GO terms and allowing color-based encoding of information such as p-values or gene counts. By converting complex GO DAGs into clean, circular representations, it allows researchers to quickly grasp the hierarchical structure and biological significance of enriched terms. The interactive and customizable visualizations facilitate exploration of key GO categories, enhancing interpretation and presentation of enrichment analyses.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and cell lines are widely used models in all kinds of biological research. As part of characterising these models, DNA sequencing technology and bioinformatics analyses are used systematically to study their genomes. Therefore, large volumes of data are generated and various algorithms are applied to analyse this data, which introduces a challenge on representing all findings in an informative and concise manner. `gmoviz` provides users with an easy way to visualise and facilitate the explanation of complex genomic editing events on a larger, biologically-relevant scale.

Utility functions for visualization of expressionSet (or SummarizedExperiment) Bioconductor object, including spectral map, tsne and linear discriminant analysis. Static plot via the ggplot2 package or interactive via the ggvis or rbokeh packages are available.

cfDNA fragments carry important features for building cancer sample classification ML models, such as fragment size, and fragment end motif etc. Analyzing and visualizing fragment size metrics, as well as other biological features in a curated, standardized, scalable, well-documented, and reproducible way might be time intensive. This package intends to resolve these problems and simplify the process. It offers two sets of functions for cfDNA feature characterization and visualization.

CellScape facilitates interactive browsing of single cell clonal evolution datasets. The tool requires two main inputs: (i) the genomic content of each single cell in the form of either copy number segments or targeted mutation values, and (ii) a single cell phylogeny. Phylogenetic formats can vary from dendrogram-like phylogenies with leaf nodes to evolutionary model-derived phylogenies with observed or latent internal nodes. The CellScape phylogeny is flexibly input as a table of source-target edges to support arbitrary representations, where each node may or may not have associated genomic data. The output of CellScape is an interactive interface displaying a single cell phylogeny and a cell-by-locus genomic heatmap representing the mutation status in each cell for each locus.
