It supports the retrieval of functional data from sources like GO, KEGG, Reactome, Bioplanet and WikiPathways. By downloading and preparing data first, it allows for rapid successive tests on various feature selections without the need for repetitive, time-consuming preparatory steps typical of other packages.

This package provides functions used in Seqtometry (Kousnetsov et al. 2024), a method for analyzing single cell (scRNA-seq or scATAC-seq) data via signature (gene set) enrichment scores. The Seqtometry scores may be useful for annotating or characterizing cells, either in a flow cytometry like workflow (where scores are standalone features used for progressive partitoning as described in the Seqtometry publication) or in a cluster-based workflow (as features of clusters). The exported impute function (a port of Python's MAGIC-impute, van Dijk et al. 2018), may also be useful for single cell analysis on its own.

It enables systematic performance analysis of individual tools, "at least N" tool consensus, and all possible tool combinations. Functional analysis is supported through the identification of potential cis- and trans-acting interactions with protein-coding genes, followed by enrichment analysis. Results can be visualized using a variety of plots, including radar plots, clock plots, and interactive Sankey diagrams.

The ReactomeGSA packages uses Reactome's online analysis service to perform a multi-omics gene set analysis. The main advantage of this package is, that the retrieved results can be visualized using REACTOME's powerful webapplication. Since Reactome's analysis service also uses R to perfrom the actual gene set analysis you will get similar results when using the same packages (such as limma and edgeR) locally. Therefore, if you only require a gene set analysis, different packages are more suited.

sRACIPE implements a randomization-based method for gene circuit modeling. It allows us to study the effect of both the gene expression noise and the parametric variation on any gene regulatory circuit (GRC) using only its topology, and simulates an ensemble of models with random kinetic parameters at multiple noise levels. Statistical analysis of the generated gene expressions reveals the basin of attraction and stability of various phenotypic states and their changes associated with intrinsic and extrinsic noises. sRACIPE provides a holistic picture to evaluate the effects of both the stochastic nature of cellular processes and the parametric variation.

SpliceWiz is a user-friendly and performance-optimized R package for AS analysis, by processing alignment BAM files to quantify read counts across splice junctions, IRFinder-based intron retention quantitation, and supports novel splicing event identification. We introduce a novel visualization for AS using normalized coverage, thereby allowing visualization of differential AS across conditions. SpliceWiz features a shiny-based GUI facilitating interactive data exploration of results including gene ontology enrichment. It is performance optimized with multi-threaded processing of BAM files and a new COV file format for fast recall of sequencing coverage. Overall, SpliceWiz streamlines AS analysis, enabling reliable identification of functionally relevant AS events for further characterization.
