LIONESS, or Linear Interpolation to Obtain Network Estimates for Single Samples, can be used to reconstruct single-sample networks (https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.06440). This code implements the LIONESS equation in the lioness function in R to reconstruct single-sample networks. The default network reconstruction method we use is based on Pearson correlation. However, lionessR can run on any network reconstruction algorithms that returns a complete, weighted adjacency matrix. lionessR works for both unipartite and bipartite networks.

The Reagent Ontology (ReO) adheres to OBO Foundry principles (obofoundry.org) to model the domain of biomedical research reagents, considered broadly to include materials applied “chemically” in scientific techniques to facilitate generation of data and research materials. ReO is a modular ontology that re-uses existing ontologies to facilitate cross-domain interoperability. It consists of reagents and their properties, linking diverse biological and experimental entities to which they are related. ReO supports community use cases by providing a flexible, extensible, and deeply integrated framework that can be adapted and extended with more specific modeling to meet application needs.

Several quantitative and visualized benchmarks for RNA-seq quantification pipelines. Two-condition quantifications for genes, transcripts, junctions or exons by each pipeline with necessary meta information should be organized into numeric matrices in order to proceed the evaluation.

An implementation of a probabilistic modeling framework that jointly analyzes personal genome and transcriptome data to estimate the probability that a variant has regulatory impact in that individual. It is based on a generative model that assumes that genomic annotations, such as the location of a variant with respect to regulatory elements, determine the prior probability that variant is a functional regulatory variant, which is an unobserved variable. The functional regulatory variant status then influences whether nearby genes are likely to display outlier levels of gene expression in that person. See the RIVER website for more information, documentation and examples.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a widely used tool for identification of genetic variants associated with phenotypes and diseases, though complex diseases featuring many genetic variants with small effects present difficulties for traditional these studies. By leveraging pleiotropy, the statistical power of a single GWAS can be increased. This package provides functions for fitting graph-GPA, a statistical framework to prioritize GWAS results by integrating pleiotropy. 'GGPA' package provides user-friendly interface to fit graph-GPA models, implement association mapping, and generate a phenotype graph.

The Semantic Resource Types Vocabulary was created for NSF's EarthCube Program's Resource Repository. Includes entries for things like 'thesaurus', 'ontology', 'controlled vocabulary', 'taxonomy'.

This ontology defines a taxonomy of software functions based on the work of the NSF-funded EarthCube Resource Registry working group. The functions are generally organized by their role in the research process.

The ddPCRclust algorithm can automatically quantify the CPDs of non-orthogonal ddPCR reactions with up to four targets. In order to determine the correct droplet count for each target, it is crucial to both identify all clusters and label them correctly based on their position. For more information on what data can be analyzed and how a template needs to be formatted, please check the vignette.

The Data Model Language Controlled Vocabulary was created for NSF's EarthCube Program's Resource Registry. At this point it merely lists a few of the languages used by data model resources in the registry.

The Audience Types Controlled Vocabulary was created for NSF's EarthCube program's Resource Registry. The vocabulary defines the types of audience each resource in the program is targeted to. At this point the vocabulary is very bare - no term definitions even; however, the intention is to extend the vocabulary over time. If you would like to assist with this or in extending any of the other controlled vocabularies/ontologies developed as part of the Resource Registry project, please see https://github.com/earthcubearchitecture-ecresourcereg.

This mini-ontology contains classes and instances for each version of the licenses that are commonly used in software projects, particularly open source software projects. The URI's for each are the canonical URI's for that license (where they exist).

Customizable pipeline for differential expression analysis with an intuitive GUI.

CHETAH (CHaracterization of cEll Types Aided by Hierarchical classification) is an accurate, selective and fast scRNA-seq classifier. Classification is guided by a reference dataset, preferentially also a scRNA-seq dataset. By hierarchical clustering of the reference data, CHETAH creates a classification tree that enables a step-wise, top-to-bottom classification. Using a novel stopping rule, CHETAH classifies the input cells to the cell types of the references and to "intermediate types": more general classifications that ended in an intermediate node of the tree.

The Extensible Observation Ontology (OBOE) is a formal ontology for capturing the semantics of scientific observation and measurement. The ontology supports researchers to add detailed semantic annotations to scientific data, thereby clarifying the inherent meaning of scientific observations.

The effect of the sequence composition of mutational context can be taken into account by normalising the catalogues.

Prediction of mRNA subcellular localization using deep recurrent neural networks | RNATracker is a deep learning approach to learn mRNA subcellular localization patterns and to infer its outcome. It operates on the cDNA of the longest isoformic protein-coding transcript of a gene with or without its corresponding secondary structure annnotations. The learning targets are fractions/percentage of the transcripts being localized to a fixed set of subcellular compartments of interest

Other packages such as sva and qvalue are integrated in edge to provide a wide range of tools for gene expression analysis.

Flexible circular visualization of genome-associated data with BioPerl and SVG.

geneXtendeR optimizes the functional annotation of ChIP-seq peaks by exploring relative differences in annotating ChIP-seq peak sets to variable-length gene bodies. In contrast to prior techniques, geneXtendeR considers peak annotations beyond just the closest gene, allowing users to see peak summary statistics for the first-closest gene, second-closest gene, ..., n-closest gene whilst ranking the output according to biologically relevant events and iteratively comparing the fidelity of peak-to-gene overlap across a user-defined range of upstream and downstream extensions on the original boundaries of each gene's coordinates. Since different ChIP-seq peak callers produce different differentially enriched peaks with a large variance in peak length distribution and total peak count, annotating peak lists with their nearest genes can often be a noisy process. As such, the goal of geneXtendeR is to robustly link differentially enriched peaks with their respective genes, thereby aiding experimental follow-up and validation in designing primers for a set of prospective gene candidates during qPCR.
