This package implements an attribute-weighted aggregation algorithm which leverages peptide-spectrum match (PSM) attributes to provide a more accurate estimate of protein abundance compared to conventional aggregation methods. This algorithm employs pre-trained random forest models to predict the quantitative inaccuracy of PSMs based on their attributes. PSMs are then aggregated to the protein level using a weighted average, taking the predicted inaccuracy into account. Additionally, the package allows users to construct their own training sets that are more relevant to their specific experimental conditions if desired.

The package extends the GenomicRanges infrastructure to handle paired genomic regions with specialized methods for chromatin interaction data from Hi-C, Promoter Capture Hi-C (PCHi-C), and single-cell ATAC-seq experiments. Key features include conversion from common interaction formats, annotation of promoters and enhancers, distance-based analyses, interaction strength metrics, statistical modeling using CHiCANE methodology, and tailored visualization tools. The package aims to standardize the representation of genomic interaction data while providing domain-specific functions not available in general genomic interaction packages.

Most human genes have multiple promoters that control the expression of different isoforms. The use of these alternative promoters enables the regulation of isoform expression pre-transcriptionally. Alternative promoters have been found to be important in a wide number of cell types and diseases. proActiv is an R package that enables the analysis of promoters from RNA-seq data. proActiv uses aligned reads as input, and generates counts and normalized promoter activity estimates for each annotated promoter. In particular, proActiv accepts junction files from TopHat2 or STAR or BAM files as inputs. These estimates can then be used to identify which promoter is active, which promoter is inactive, and which promoters change their activity across conditions. proActiv also allows visualization of promoter activity across conditions.

High-throughput single-cell measurements of DNA methylation allows studying inter-cellular epigenetic heterogeneity, but this task faces the challenges of sparsity and noise.
