The BPRMeth package is a probabilistic method to quantify explicit features of methylation profiles, in a way that would make it easier to formally use such profiles in downstream modelling efforts, such as predicting gene expression levels or clustering genomic regions or cells according to their methylation profiles.

This package provides an alternative interface to Bioconductor 'annotation' resources, in particular the gene identifier mapping functionality of the 'org' packages (e.g., org.Hs.eg.db) and the genome coordinate functionality of the 'TxDb' packages (e.g., TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene).

MFA models genomic bifurcations using a Bayesian hierarchical mixture of factor analysers.

MetaNeighbor allows users to quantify cell type replicability across datasets using neighbor voting.

RcisTarget identifies transcription factor binding motifs (TFBS) over-represented on a gene list. In a first step, RcisTarget selects DNA motifs that are significantly over-represented in the surroundings of the transcription start site (TSS) of the genes in the gene-set. This is achieved by using a database that contains genome-wide cross-species rankings for each motif. The motifs that are then annotated to TFs and those that have a high Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) are retained. Finally, for each motif and gene-set, RcisTarget predicts the candidate target genes (i.e. genes in the gene-set that are ranked above the leading edge).

This package allows users to perform DE analysis using multiple algorithms. It seeks consensus from multiple methods. Currently it supports "Voom", "EdgeR" and "DESeq". It uses RUV-seq (optional) to remove unwanted sources of variation.

An R package for fully unsupervised deconvolution of complex tissues. It provides basic functions to perform unsupervised deconvolution on mixture expression profiles by Convex Analysis of Mixtures (CAM) and some auxiliary functions to help understand the subpopulation-specific results. It also implements functions to perform supervised deconvolution based on prior knowledge of molecular markers, S matrix or A matrix. Combining molecular markers from CAM and from prior knowledge can achieve semi-supervised deconvolution of mixtures.

receptLoss identifies genes whose expression is lost in subsets of tumors relative to normal tissue. It is particularly well-suited in cases where the number of normal tissue samples is small, as the distribution of gene expression in normal tissue samples is approximated by a Gaussian. Originally designed for identifying nuclear hormone receptor expression loss but can be applied transcriptome wide as well.

This package provides users with the ability to query the Human Cell Atlas data repository for single-cell experiment data. The `projects()`, `files()`, `samples()` and `bundles()` functions retrieve summary information on each of these indexes; corresponding `*_details()` are available for individual entries of each index. File-based resources can be downloaded using `files_download()`. Advanced use of the package allows the user to page through large result sets, and to flexibly query the 'list-of-lists' structure representing query responses.

Identifies motifs that are significantly co-enriched from enhancer-promoter interaction data. While enhancer-promoter annotation is commonly used to define groups of interaction anchors, spatzie also supports co-enrichment analysis between preprocessed interaction anchors. Supports BEDPE interaction data derived from genome-wide assays such as HiC, ChIA-PET, and HiChIP. Can also be used to look for differentially enriched motif pairs between two interaction experiments.

RgnTX allows the integration of transcriptome annotations so as to model the complex alternative splicing patterns. It supports the testing of transcriptome elements without clear isoform association, which is often the real scenario due to technical limitations. It involves functions that do permutaion test for evaluating association between features and transcriptome regions.

The toolkit 'µSTASIS', or microSTASIS, has been developed for the stability analysis of microbiota in a temporal framework by leveraging on iterative clustering. Concretely, the core function uses Hartigan-Wong k-means algorithm as many times as possible for stressing out paired samples from the same individuals to test if they remain together for multiple numbers of clusters over a whole data set of individuals. Moreover, the package includes multiple functions to subset samples from paired times, validate the results or visualize the output.

This package implements an interactive, scientific analysis pipeline for high-dimensional cytometry data built using tidy data principles. It is specifically designed to play well with both the tidyverse and Bioconductor software ecosystems, with functionality for reading/writing data files, data cleaning, preprocessing, clustering, visualization, modeling, and other quality-of-life functions. tidytof implements a "grammar" of high-dimensional cytometry data analysis.

netZooR unifies the implementations of several Network Zoo methods (netzoo, netzoo.github.io) into a single package by creating interfaces between network inference and network analysis methods. Currently, the package has 3 methods for network inference including PANDA and its optimized implementation OTTER (network reconstruction using mutliple lines of biological evidence), LIONESS (single-sample network inference), and EGRET (genotype-specific networks). Network analysis methods include CONDOR (community detection), ALPACA (differential community detection), CRANE (significance estimation of differential modules), MONSTER (estimation of network transition states). In addition, YARN allows to process gene expresssion data for tissue-specific analyses and SAMBAR infers missing mutation data based on pathway information.

This package facilitates reading, preprocessing and manipulating Codelink microarray data. The raw data must be exported as text file using the Codelink software.

This package provides functions for an Interactive Differential Expression AnaLysis of RNA-sequencing datasets, to extract quickly and effectively information downstream the step of differential expression. A Shiny application encapsulates the whole package. Support for reproducibility of the whole analysis is provided by means of a template report which gets automatically compiled and can be stored/shared.

This package integrates colocalization probabilities from colocalization analysis with transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) scan summary statistics to implicate genes that may be biologically relevant to a complex trait. The probabilistic framework implemented in this package constrains the TWAS scan z-score-based likelihood using a gene-level colocalization probability. Given gene set annotations, this package can estimate gene set enrichment using posterior probabilities from the TWAS-colocalization integration step.

Phantasus is a web-application for visual and interactive gene expression analysis. Phantasus is based on Morpheus – a web-based software for heatmap visualisation and analysis, which was integrated with an R environment via OpenCPU API. Aside from basic visualization and filtering methods, R-based methods such as k-means clustering, principal component analysis or differential expression analysis with limma package are supported.
