DeMixT is a software package that performs deconvolution on transcriptome data from a mixture of two or three components.

Implements a DelayedArray of random values where the realization of the sampled values is delayed until they are needed. Reproducible sampling within any subarray is achieved by chunking where each chunk is initialized with a different random seed and stream. The usual distributions in the stats package are supported, along with scalar, vector and arrays for the parameters.

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.

DEGraph implements recent hypothesis testing methods which directly assess whether a particular gene network is differentially expressed between two conditions. This is to be contrasted with the more classical two-step approaches which first test individual genes, then test gene sets for enrichment in differentially expressed genes. These recent methods take into account the topology of the network to yield more powerful detection procedures. DEGraph provides methods to easily test all KEGG pathways for differential expression on any gene expression data set and tools to visualize the results.

Convert between different data formats used by differential gene expression analysis tools.

This package provides provides quantitative variant callers for detecting subclonal mutations in ultra-deep (>=100x coverage) sequencing experiments. The deepSNV algorithm is used for a comparative setup with a control experiment of the same loci and uses a beta-binomial model and a likelihood ratio test to discriminate sequencing errors and subclonal SNVs. The shearwater algorithm computes a Bayes classifier based on a beta-binomial model for variant calling with multiple samples for precisely estimating model parameters - such as local error rates and dispersion - and prior knowledge, e.g. from variation data bases such as COSMIC.

Many methods allow us to extract biological activities from omics data using information from prior knowledge resources, reducing the dimensionality for increased statistical power and better interpretability. Here, we present decoupleR, a Bioconductor package containing different statistical methods to extract these signatures within a unified framework. decoupleR allows the user to flexibly test any method with any resource. It incorporates methods that take into account the sign and weight of network interactions. decoupleR can be used with any omic, as long as its features can be linked to a biological process based on prior knowledge. For example, in transcriptomics gene sets regulated by a transcription factor, or in phospho-proteomics phosphosites that are targeted by a kinase.

Bioinformatics platform containing interactive plots and tables for differential gene and region expression studies. Allows visualizing expression data much more deeply in an interactive and faster way. By changing the parameters, users can easily discover different parts of the data that like never have been done before. Manually creating and looking these plots takes time. With DEBrowser users can prepare plots without writing any code. Differential expression, PCA and clustering analysis are made on site and the results are shown in various plots such as scatter, bar, box, volcano, ma plots and Heatmaps.

The damidBind package provides a straightforward formal analysis pipeline to analyse and explore differential DamID binding, gene transcription or chromatin accessibility between two conditions. The package imports processed data from DamID-seq experiments, either as external raw files in the form of binding bedGraphs and GFF/BED peak calls, or as internal lists of GRanges objects. After optionally normalising data, combining peaks across replicates and determining per-replicate peak occupancy, the package links bound loci to nearby genes. For RNA Polymerase DamID data, the package calculates occupancy over genes, and optionally calcualates the FDR of significantly-enriched gene occupancy. damidBind then uses either limma (for conventional log2 ratio DamID binding data) or NOIseq (for counts-based CATaDa chromatin accessibility data) to identify differentially-enriched regions, or differentially epxressed genes, between two conditions. The package provides a number of visualisation tools (volcano plots, Gene Ontology enrichment plots via ClusterProfiler and proportional Venn diagrams via BioVenn for downstream data exploration and analysis. An powerful, interactive IGV genome browser interface (powered by Shiny and igvShiny) allows users to rapidly and intuitively assess significant differentially-bound regions in their genomic context.

This R package supports interactive visualization of multi-channel images and segmentation masks generated by imaging mass cytometry and other highly multiplexed imaging techniques using shiny. The cytoviewer interface is divided into image-level (Composite and Channels) and cell-level visualization (Masks). It allows users to overlay individual images with segmentation masks, integrates well with SingleCellExperiment and SpatialExperiment objects for metadata visualization and supports image downloads.

This package is the companion of the `CytoPipeline` package. It provides GUI's (shiny apps) for the visualization of flow cytometry data analysis pipelines that are run with `CytoPipeline`. Two shiny applications are provided, i.e. an interactive flow frame assessment and comparison tool and an interactive scale transformations visualization and adjustment tool.

This package provides support for automation and visualization of flow cytometry data analysis pipelines. In the current state, the package focuses on the preprocessing and quality control part. The framework is based on two main S4 classes, i.e. CytoPipeline and CytoProcessingStep. The pipeline steps are linked to corresponding R functions - that are either provided in the CytoPipeline package itself, or exported from a third party package, or coded by the user her/himself. The processing steps need to be specified centrally and explicitly using either a json input file or through step by step creation of a CytoPipeline object with dedicated methods. After having run the pipeline, obtained results at all steps can be retrieved and visualized thanks to file caching (the running facility uses a BiocFileCache implementation). The package provides also specific visualization tools like pipeline workflow summary display, and 1D/2D comparison plots of obtained flowFrames at various steps of the pipeline.

MEM, Marker Enrichment Modeling, automatically generates and displays quantitative labels for cell populations that have been identified from single-cell data. The input for MEM is a dataset that has pre-clustered or pre-gated populations with cells in rows and features in columns. Labels convey a list of measured features and the features' levels of relative enrichment on each population. MEM can be applied to a wide variety of data types and can compare between MEM labels from flow cytometry, mass cytometry, single cell RNA-seq, and spectral flow cytometry using RMSD.

This package implements a low dimensional visualization of a set of cytometry samples, in order to visually assess the 'distances' between them. This, in turn, can greatly help the user to identify quality issues like batch effects or outlier samples, and/or check the presence of potential sample clusters that might align with the exeprimental design. The CytoMDS algorithm combines, on the one hand, the concept of Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), a.k.a. Wasserstein metric and, on the other hand, the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) algorithm for the low dimensional projection. Also, the package provides some diagnostic tools for both checking the quality of the MDS projection, as well as tools to help with the interpretation of the axes of the projection.

cytoKernel implements a kernel-based score test to identify differentially expressed features in high-dimensional biological experiments. This approach can be applied across many different high-dimensional biological data including gene expression data and dimensionally reduced cytometry-based marker expression data. In this R package, we implement functions that compute the feature-wise p values and their corresponding adjusted p values. Additionally, it also computes the feature-wise shrunk effect sizes and their corresponding shrunken effect size. Further, it calculates the percent of differentially expressed features and plots user-friendly heatmap of the top differentially expressed features on the rows and samples on the columns.

Provides access to a copy of the Human Cell Atlas, but with harmonised metadata. This allows for uniform querying across numerous datasets within the Atlas using common fields such as cell type, tissue type, and patient ethnicity. Usage involves first querying the metadata table for cells of interest, and then downloading the corresponding cells into a SingleCellExperiment object.

The R package CTSV implements the CTSV approach developed by Jinge Yu and Xiangyu Luo that detects cell-type-specific spatially variable genes accounting for excess zeros. CTSV directly models sparse raw count data through a zero-inflated negative binomial regression model, incorporates cell-type proportions, and performs hypothesis testing based on R package pscl. The package outputs p-values and q-values for genes in each cell type, and CTSV is scalable to datasets with tens of thousands of genes measured on hundreds of spots. CTSV can be installed in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

Detection of differentially bound regions in ChIP-seq data with sliding windows, with methods for normalization and proper FDR control.

An R package that offers a workflow to predict condition-specific enhancers from ChIP-seq data. The prediction of regulatory units is done in four main steps: Step 1 - the normalization of the ChIP-seq counts. Step 2 - the prediction of active enhancers binwise on the whole genome. Step 3 - the condition-specific clustering of the putative active enhancers. Step 4 - the detection of possible target genes of the condition-specific clusters using RNA-seq counts.

CPSM provides a comprehensive computational pipeline for predicting survival probability and risk groups in cancer patients.

It enables feature selection using univariate survival analysis and computes a LASSO-based prognostic index (PI) score. CPSM supports the development of predictive models using various feature sets and offers a suite of visualization tools, including survival curves based on predicted probabilities, barplots for predicted mean and median survival times, KM plots overlaid with individual survival predictions, and nomograms for estimating 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival probabilities. This makes CPSM a versatile tool for survival analysis in cancer research.

Using bayesian methods to estimate correlation matrices assuming that they can be written and estimated as block diagonal matrices. These block diagonal matrices are determined using shrinkage parameters that values below this parameter to zero.

Statistical and computational method to analyze the co-expression of gene pairs at single cell level. It provides the foundation for single-cell gene interactome analysis. The basic idea is studying the zero UMI counts' distribution instead of focusing on positive counts; this is done with a generalized contingency tables framework. COTAN can effectively assess the correlated or anti-correlated expression of gene pairs. It provides a numerical index related to the correlation and an approximate p-value for the associated independence test. COTAN can also evaluate whether single genes are differentially expressed, scoring them with a newly defined global differentiation index. Moreover, this approach provides ways to plot and cluster genes according to their co-expression pattern with other genes, effectively helping the study of gene interactions and becoming a new tool to identify cell-identity marker genes.

COSMOS (Causal Oriented Search of Multi-Omic Space) is a method that integrates phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics data sets based on prior knowledge of signaling, metabolic, and gene regulatory networks. It estimated the activities of transcrption factors and kinases and finds a network-level causal reasoning. Thereby, COSMOS provides mechanistic hypotheses for experimental observations across mulit-omics datasets.

cosmiq is a tool for the preprocessing of liquid- or gas - chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS/GCMS) data with a focus on metabolomics or lipidomics applications. To improve the detection of low abundant signals, cosmiq generates master maps of the mZ/RT space from all acquired runs before a peak detection algorithm is applied. The result is a more robust identification and quantification of low-intensity MS signals compared to conventional approaches where peak picking is performed in each LCMS/GCMS file separately. The cosmiq package builds on the xcmsSet object structure and can be therefore integrated well with the package xcms as an alternative preprocessing step.

Co-expression analysis for expression profiles arising from high-throughput sequencing data. Feature (e.g., gene) profiles are clustered using adapted transformations and mixture models or a K-means algorithm, and model selection criteria (to choose an appropriate number of clusters) are provided.

Coralysis is an R package featuring a multi-level integration algorithm for sensitive integration, reference-mapping, and cell-state identification in single-cell data. The multi-level integration algorithm is inspired by the process of assembling a puzzle - where one begins by grouping pieces based on low-to high-level features, such as color and shading, before looking into shape and patterns. This approach progressively blends the batch effects and separates cell types across multiple rounds of divisive clustering.

coMethDMR identifies genomic regions associated with continuous phenotypes by optimally leverages covariations among CpGs within predefined genomic regions. Instead of testing all CpGs within a genomic region, coMethDMR carries out an additional step that selects co-methylated sub-regions first without using any outcome information. Next, coMethDMR tests association between methylation within the sub-region and continuous phenotype using a random coefficient mixed effects model, which models both variations between CpG sites within the region and differential methylation simultaneously.

cogeqc aims to facilitate systematic quality checks on standard comparative genomics analyses to help researchers detect issues and select the most suitable parameters for each data set. cogeqc can be used to asses: i. genome assembly and annotation quality with BUSCOs and comparisons of statistics with publicly available genomes on the NCBI; ii. orthogroup inference using a protein domain-based approach and; iii. synteny detection using synteny network properties. There are also data visualization functions to explore QC summary statistics.

COCOA is a method for understanding epigenetic variation among samples. COCOA can be used with epigenetic data that includes genomic coordinates and an epigenetic signal, such as DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility data. To describe the method on a high level, COCOA quantifies inter-sample variation with either a supervised or unsupervised technique then uses a database of "region sets" to annotate the variation among samples. A region set is a set of genomic regions that share a biological annotation, for instance transcription factor (TF) binding regions, histone modification regions, or open chromatin regions. COCOA can identify region sets that are associated with epigenetic variation between samples and increase understanding of variation in your data.

A method that allows for the use of a collection of non-matched normal tissue samples. Our approach uses a non-parametric bootstrap subsampling of the available reference samples to estimate the distribution of read counts from targeted sequencing. As inspired by random forest, this is combined with a procedure that subsamples the amplicons associated with each of the targeted genes. The obtained information allows us to reliably classify the copy number aberrations on the gene level.

This package integrates literature-constrained and data-driven methods to infer signalling networks from perturbation experiments. It permits to extends a given network with links derived from the data via various inference methods and uses information on physical interactions of proteins to guide and validate the integration of links.

ClustIRR analyzes repertoires of B- and T-cell receptors. It starts by identifying communities of immune receptors with similar specificities, based on the sequences of their complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Next, it employs a Bayesian probabilistic models to quantify differential community occupancy (DCO) between repertoires, allowing the identification of expanding or contracting communities in response to e.g. infection or cancer treatment.

The ClusterSignificance package provides tools to assess if class clusters in dimensionality reduced data representations have a separation different from permuted data. The term class clusters here refers to, clusters of points representing known classes in the data. This is particularly useful to determine if a subset of the variables, e.g. genes in a specific pathway, alone can separate samples into these established classes. ClusterSignificance accomplishes this by, projecting all points onto a one dimensional line. Cluster separations are then scored and the probability of the seen separation being due to chance is evaluated using a permutation method.

Identification of clusters of co-expressed genes based on their expression across multiple (replicated) biological samples.

Tools for performing taxonomic assignment based on phylogeny using pplacer and clst.

Package for modified nearest-neighbor classification based on calculation of a similarity threshold distinguishing within-group from between-group comparisons.

RNA-seq data generated by some library preparation methods, such as rRNA-depletion-based method and the SMART-seq method, might be contaminated by genomic DNA (gDNA), if DNase I disgestion is not performed properly during RNA preparation. CleanUpRNAseq is developed to check if RNA-seq data is suffered from gDNA contamination. If so, it can perform correction for gDNA contamination and reduce false discovery rate of differentially expressed genes.
