Differential abundance testing in microbiome data challenges both parametric and non-parametric statistical methods, due to its sparsity, high variability and compositional nature. Microbiome-specific statistical methods often assume classical distribution models or take into account compositional specifics. These produce results that range within the specificity vs sensitivity space in such a way that type I and type II error that are difficult to ascertain in real microbiome data when a single method is used. Recently, a consensus approach based on multiple differential abundance (DA) methods was recently suggested in order to increase robustness. With dar, you can use dplyr-like pipeable sequences of DA methods and then apply different consensus strategies. In this way we can obtain more reliable results in a fast, consistent and reproducible way.

Cell Set Overlap Analysis (CSOA) is a tool for calculating per-cell gene signature scores in an scRNA-seq dataset. CSOA constructs a set for each gene in the signature, consisting of the cells that highly express the gene. Next, all overlaps of pairs of cell sets are computed, ranked, filtered and scored. The CSOA per-cell score is calculated by summing up all products of the overlap scores and the min-max-normalized expression of the two involved genes. CSOA can run on a Seurat object, a SingleCellExperiment object, a matrix and a dgCMatrix.
