Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) is a non-parametric, unsupervised method for estimating variation of gene set enrichment through the samples of a expression data set. GSVA performs a change in coordinate systems, transforming the data from a gene by sample matrix to a gene-set by sample matrix, thereby allowing the evaluation of pathway enrichment for each sample. This new matrix of GSVA enrichment scores facilitates applying standard analytical methods like functional enrichment, survival analysis, clustering, CNV-pathway analysis or cross-tissue pathway analysis, in a pathway-centric manner.

ClustIRR analyzes repertoires of B- and T-cell receptors. It starts by identifying communities of immune receptors with similar specificities, based on the sequences of their complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Next, it employs a Bayesian probabilistic models to quantify differential community occupancy (DCO) between repertoires, allowing the identification of expanding or contracting communities in response to e.g. infection or cancer treatment.

High-throughput cell imaging facilitates the analysis of cell migration across many wells treated under different biological conditions. These workflows generate considerable technical noise and biological variability, and therefore technical and biological replicates are necessary, leading to large, hierarchically structured datasets, i.e., cells are nested within technical replicates that are nested within biological replicates. Current statistical analyses of such data usually ignore the hierarchical structure of the data and fail to explicitly quantify uncertainty arising from technical or biological variability. To address this gap, we present cellmig, an R package implementing Bayesian hierarchical models for migration analysis. cellmig quantifies condition- specific velocity changes (e.g., drug effects) while modeling nested data structures and technical artifacts. It further enables synthetic data generation for experimental design optimization.

Statistical and computational method to analyze the co-expression of gene pairs at single cell level. It provides the foundation for single-cell gene interactome analysis. The basic idea is studying the zero UMI counts' distribution instead of focusing on positive counts; this is done with a generalized contingency tables framework. COTAN can effectively assess the correlated or anti-correlated expression of gene pairs. It provides a numerical index related to the correlation and an approximate p-value for the associated independence test. COTAN can also evaluate whether single genes are differentially expressed, scoring them with a newly defined global differentiation index. Moreover, this approach provides ways to plot and cluster genes according to their co-expression pattern with other genes, effectively helping the study of gene interactions and becoming a new tool to identify cell-identity marker genes.

This package provides functions to standardise the analysis of Differential Allelic Representation (DAR). DAR compromises the integrity of Differential Expression analysis results as it can bias expression, influencing the classification of genes (or transcripts) as being differentially expressed. DAR analysis results in an easy-to-interpret value between 0 and 1 for each genetic feature of interest, where 0 represents identical allelic representation and 1 represents complete diversity. This metric can be used to identify features prone to false-positive calls in Differential Expression analysis, and can be leveraged with statistical methods to alleviate the impact of such artefacts on RNA-seq data.
