SpectralTAD is an R package designed to identify Topologically Associated Domains (TADs) from Hi-C contact matrices. It uses a modified version of spectral clustering that uses a sliding window to quickly detect TADs. The function works on a range of different formats of contact matrices and returns a bed file of TAD coordinates. The method does not require users to adjust any parameters to work and gives them control over the number of hierarchical levels to be returned.

The package provides a comprehensive solution for evaluating the robustness of scRNA-seq classifiers against adversarial attacks.

Umbrella for the alabaster suite, providing a single-line import for all alabaster.* packages. Installing this package ensures that all known alabaster.* packages are also installed, avoiding problems with missing packages when a staging method or loading function is dynamically requested. Obviously, this comes at the cost of needing to install more packages, so advanced users and application developers may prefer to install the required alabaster.* packages individually.
