This package enables automated selection of group specific signature, especially for rare population. The package is developed for generating specifc lists of signature genes based on Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) modified methods. It can also be used as a new gene-set scoring method or data transformation method. Multiple visualization functions are implemented in this package.

The package uses exogenous enzyme imprinted information to map protein-DNA binding on individual sequenced DNA molecules. For example, GpC methyltransferase, CpG methyltransferase, and Adenine methyltransferases. Public datasets from such assays are compiled into tracks, and hosted at public servers like Galaxy for their seamless access by this package.

This package generates pathway scores from expression data for single samples after training on a reference cohort. The score is generated by taking the expression of a gene set (pathway) from a reference cohort and performing linear discriminant analysis to distinguish samples in the cohort that have the pathway augmented and not. The separating hyperplane is then used to score new samples.

An R-based automated gating pipeline for flow cytometry data designed to mimic the manual gating strategy of defining flow biomarker positive populations relative to a unimodal background population to include cells with varying intensities of marker expression. The pipeline’s main feature is a flexible density-based gating strategy capable of capturing varying scenarios based on marker expression patterns to analyze a 29-marker flow panel that characterizes T-cell lineage, differentiation, and functional states.

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.

Cell surface proteins form a major fraction of the druggable proteome and can be used for tissue-specific delivery of oligonucleotide/cell-based therapeutics. Alternatively spliced surface protein isoforms have been shown to differ in their subcellular localization and/or their transmembrane (TM) topology. Surface proteins are hydrophobic and remain difficult to study thereby necessitating the use of TM topology prediction methods such as TMHMM and Phobius. However, there exists a need for bioinformatic approaches to streamline batch processing of isoforms for comparing and visualizing topologies. To address this gap, we have developed an R package, surfaltr. It pairs inputted isoforms, either known alternatively spliced or novel, with their APPRIS annotated principal counterparts, predicts their TM topologies using TMHMM or Phobius, and generates a customizable graphical output. Further, surfaltr facilitates the prioritization of biologically diverse isoform pairs through the incorporation of three different ranking metrics and through protein alignment functions. Citations for programs mentioned here can be found in the vignette.

Synapsis is a Bioconductor software package for automated (unbiased and reproducible) analysis of meiotic immunofluorescence datasets. The primary functions of the software can i) identify cells in meiotic prophase that are labelled by a synaptonemal complex axis or central element protein, ii) isolate individual synaptonemal complexes and measure their physical length, iii) quantify foci and co-localise them with synaptonemal complexes, iv) measure interference between synaptonemal complex-associated foci. The software has applications that extend to multiple species and to the analysis of other proteins that label meiotic prophase chromosomes. The software converts meiotic immunofluorescence images into R data frames that are compatible with machine learning methods. Given a set of microscopy images of meiotic spread slides, synapsis crops images around individual single cells, counts colocalising foci on strands on a per cell basis, and measures the distance between foci on any given strand.

The tidyexposomics package is designed to facilitate the integration of exposure and omics data to identify exposure-omics associations. We structure our commands to fit into the tidyverse framework, where commands are designed to be simplified and intuitive. Here we provide functionality to perform quality control, sample and exposure association analysis, differential abundance analysis, multi-omics integration, and functional enrichment analysis.

The TissueEnrich package is used to calculate enrichment of tissue-specific genes in a set of input genes. For example, the user can input the most highly expressed genes from RNA-Seq data, or gene co-expression modules to determine which tissue-specific genes are enriched in those datasets. Tissue-specific genes were defined by processing RNA-Seq data from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) (Uhlén et al. 2015), GTEx (Ardlie et al. 2015), and mouse ENCODE (Shen et al. 2012) using the algorithm from the HPA (Uhlén et al. 2015).The hypergeometric test is being used to determine if the tissue-specific genes are enriched among the input genes. Along with tissue-specific gene enrichment, the TissueEnrich package can also be used to define tissue-specific genes from expression datasets provided by the user, which can then be used to calculate tissue-specific gene enrichments.

`tomoseqr` is an R package for analyzing Tomo-seq data. Tomo-seq is a genome-wide RNA tomography method that combines combining high-throughput RNA sequencing with cryosectioning for spatially resolved transcriptomics. `tomoseqr` reconstructs 3D expression patterns from tomo-seq data and visualizes the reconstructed 3D expression patterns.

tradeSeq provides a flexible method for fitting regression models that can be used to find genes that are differentially expressed along one or multiple lineages in a trajectory. Based on the fitted models, it uses a variety of tests suited to answer different questions of interest, e.g. the discovery of genes for which expression is associated with pseudotime, or which are differentially expressed (in a specific region) along the trajectory. It fits a negative binomial generalized additive model (GAM) for each gene, and performs inference on the parameters of the GAM.

Given a time series or pseudo-times series of gene expression data, we might wish to know: Do the changes in gene expression in these data exhibit directionality? Are there turning points in this directionality. Do different subsets of the data move in different directions? This package uses spherical geometry to probe these sorts of questions. In particular, if we are looking at (say) the first n dimensions of the PCA of gene expression, directionality can be detected as the clustering of points on the (n-1)-dimensional sphere.

transite is a computational method that allows comprehensive analysis of the regulatory role of RNA-binding proteins in various cellular processes by leveraging preexisting gene expression data and current knowledge of binding preferences of RNA-binding proteins.

MetaNeighbor allows users to quantify cell type replicability across datasets using neighbor voting.

This package provides users with the ability to query the Human Cell Atlas data repository for single-cell experiment data.

File-based resources can be downloaded using `files_download()`. Advanced use of the package allows the user to page through large result sets, and to flexibly query the 'list-of-lists' structure representing query responses.
