This package provides functions and routines for supervised analyses of mutational signatures (i.e., the signatures have to be known, cf. L. Alexandrov et al., Nature 2013 and L. Alexandrov et al., Bioaxiv 2018). In particular, the family of functions LCD (LCD = linear combination decomposition) can use optimal signature-specific cutoffs which takes care of different detectability of the different signatures. Moreover, the package provides different sets of mutational signatures, including the COSMIC and PCAWG SNV signatures and the PCAWG Indel signatures; the latter infering that with YAPSA, the concept of supervised analysis of mutational signatures is extended to Indel signatures. YAPSA also provides confidence intervals as computed by profile likelihoods and can perform signature analysis on a stratified mutational catalogue (SMC = stratify mutational catalogue) in order to analyze enrichment and depletion patterns for the signatures in different strata.

Fast functions for bipartite network rewiring through N consecutive switching steps (See References) and for the computation of the minimal number of switching steps to be performed in order to maximise the dissimilarity with respect to the original network. Includes functions for the analysis of the introduced randomness across the switching steps and several other routines to analyse the resulting networks and their natural projections. Extension to undirected networks and directed signed networks is also provided. Starting from version 1.9.7 a more precise bound (especially for small network) has been implemented. Starting from version 2.2.0 the analysis routine is more complete and a visual montioring of the underlying Markov Chain has been implemented. Starting from 3.6.0 the library can handle also matrices with NA (not for the directed signed graphs). Since version 3.27.1 it is possible to add a constraint for dsg generation: usually positive and negative arc between two nodes could be not accepted.

Algorithm for testing significance of clustering in RNA-seq data.

Starting with a BAM file, this package provides the necessary functions for quality assessment, read start position recalibration, the counting of reads on CDS, 3'UTR, and 5'UTR, plotting of count data: pairs, log fold-change, codon frequency and coverage assessment, principal component analysis on codon coverage.

The BPRMeth package is a probabilistic method to quantify explicit features of methylation profiles, in a way that would make it easier to formally use such profiles in downstream modelling efforts, such as predicting gene expression levels or clustering genomic regions or cells according to their methylation profiles.

RcisTarget identifies transcription factor binding motifs (TFBS) over-represented on a gene list. In a first step, RcisTarget selects DNA motifs that are significantly over-represented in the surroundings of the transcription start site (TSS) of the genes in the gene-set. This is achieved by using a database that contains genome-wide cross-species rankings for each motif. The motifs that are then annotated to TFs and those that have a high Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) are retained. Finally, for each motif and gene-set, RcisTarget predicts the candidate target genes (i.e. genes in the gene-set that are ranked above the leading edge).

This package allows users to perform DE analysis using multiple algorithms. It seeks consensus from multiple methods. Currently it supports "Voom", "EdgeR" and "DESeq". It uses RUV-seq (optional) to remove unwanted sources of variation.

receptLoss identifies genes whose expression is lost in subsets of tumors relative to normal tissue. It is particularly well-suited in cases where the number of normal tissue samples is small, as the distribution of gene expression in normal tissue samples is approximated by a Gaussian. Originally designed for identifying nuclear hormone receptor expression loss but can be applied transcriptome wide as well.

Identifies motifs that are significantly co-enriched from enhancer-promoter interaction data. While enhancer-promoter annotation is commonly used to define groups of interaction anchors, spatzie also supports co-enrichment analysis between preprocessed interaction anchors. Supports BEDPE interaction data derived from genome-wide assays such as HiC, ChIA-PET, and HiChIP. Can also be used to look for differentially enriched motif pairs between two interaction experiments.

The toolkit 'µSTASIS', or microSTASIS, has been developed for the stability analysis of microbiota in a temporal framework by leveraging on iterative clustering. Concretely, the core function uses Hartigan-Wong k-means algorithm as many times as possible for stressing out paired samples from the same individuals to test if they remain together for multiple numbers of clusters over a whole data set of individuals. Moreover, the package includes multiple functions to subset samples from paired times, validate the results or visualize the output.

The snoBoard database compiles ribosomal RNA (rRNA) modifications, box C/D and box H/ACA snoRNA guides sequences for a number of species including Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc), Human (Hs), the plant Arabidopsis thaliana (At) and tomato Solanum lycopersicum (Sl). Mapped modifications are 2’-O methylation, pseudouridylation and other known modifications when available. The user interface allows the access to rRNA targets, mapped modifications and snoRNA guides under different views. Modifications can be accessed through a table (one line per modification), or mapped on their target RNA sequences and secondary structures. A comparative view allows to access to mapped sites conserved between a selected subset of species. Using the comparative view, it is possible to interrogate and visualize the conservation of target nucleotides sequences and modified sites. Information on modifications targets and snoRNA guides can be accessed by organism, snoRNA guide family and modification type.

Various mRNA sequencing library preparation methods generate sequencing reads specifically from the transcript ends. Analyses that focus on quantification of isoform usage from such data can be aided by using truncated versions of transcriptome annotations, both at the alignment or pseudo-alignment stage, as well as in downstream analysis. This package implements some convenience methods for readily generating such truncated annotations and their corresponding sequences.

In addition, we also offer functions to visualize cell cycle time on different embeddings and functions to build new reference.

This is an advanced version of TDbasedUFE, which is a comprehensive package to perform Tensor decomposition based unsupervised feature extraction. In contrast to TDbasedUFE which can perform simple the feature selection and the multiomics analyses, this package can perform more complicated and advanced features, but they are not so popularly required. Only users who require more specific features can make use of its functionality.

TaxSEA is an R package for Taxon Set Enrichment Analysis, which utilises a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test analyses to investigate differential abundance analysis output for whether there are alternations in a-priori defined sets of taxa from public databases (BugSigDB, MiMeDB, GutMGene, mBodyMap, BacDive and GMRepoV2) and collated from the literature.

TaxSEA be applied to any microbiota taxonomic profiling technology (array-based, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun metagenomics & metatranscriptomics etc.) and enables researchers to rapidly contextualize their findings within the broader literature to accelerate interpretation of results.

This package provides functions to standardise the analysis of Differential Allelic Representation (DAR). DAR compromises the integrity of Differential Expression analysis results as it can bias expression, influencing the classification of genes (or transcripts) as being differentially expressed. DAR analysis results in an easy-to-interpret value between 0 and 1 for each genetic feature of interest, where 0 represents identical allelic representation and 1 represents complete diversity. This metric can be used to identify features prone to false-positive calls in Differential Expression analysis, and can be leveraged with statistical methods to alleviate the impact of such artefacts on RNA-seq data.

This is a collection of utility functions that allow to perform exploration of and calculations to RNA sequencing data, in a modular, pipe-friendly and tidy fashion.

SGC is a semi-supervised pipeline for gene clustering in gene co-expression networks.
