PhyloProfile is a tool for exploring complex phylogenetic profiles. Phylogenetic profiles, presence/absence patterns of genes over a set of species, are commonly used to trace the functional and evolutionary history of genes across species and time. With PhyloProfile we can enrich regular phylogenetic profiles with further data like sequence/structure similarity, to make phylogenetic profiling more meaningful. Besides the interactive visualisation powered by R-Shiny, the package offers a set of further analysis features to gain insights like the gene age estimation or core gene identification.

Banksy is an R package that incorporates spatial information to cluster cells in a feature space (e.g. gene expression). To incorporate spatial information, BANKSY computes the mean neighborhood expression and azimuthal Gabor filters that capture gene expression gradients. These features are combined with the cell's own expression to embed cells in a neighbor-augmented product space which can then be clustered, allowing for accurate and spatially-aware cell typing and tissue domain segmentation.

Spatial transcriptomic technologies have helped to resolve the connection between gene expression and the 2D orientation of tissues relative to each other. However, the limited single-cell resolution makes it difficult to highlight the most important molecular interactions in these tissues. SpaceMarkers, R/Bioconductor software, can help to find molecular interactions, by identifying genes associated with latent space interactions in spatial transcriptomics.
