biodb

Package to retrieve and visualize data from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (http://ctdbase.org/). The downloaded data is formated as DataFrames for further downstream analyses.

MoleculeExperiment contains functions to create and work with objects from the new MoleculeExperiment class. We introduce this class for analysing molecule-based spatial transcriptomics data (e.g., Xenium by 10X, Cosmx SMI by Nanostring, and Merscope by Vizgen). This allows researchers to analyse spatial transcriptomics data at the molecule level, and to have standardised data formats accross vendors.

Utilities for handling genomic interaction data such as ChIA-PET or Hi-C, annotating genomic features with interaction information, and producing plots and summary statistics.

The Structstrings package implements the widely used dot bracket annotation for storing base pairing information in structured RNA. Structstrings uses the infrastructure provided by the Biostrings package and derives the DotBracketString and related classes from the BString class. From these, base pair tables can be produced for in depth analysis. In addition, the loop indices of the base pairs can be retrieved as well. For better efficiency, information conversion is implemented in C, inspired to a large extend by the ViennaRNA package.

ReUseData is an _R/Bioconductor_ software tool to provide a systematic and versatile approach for standardized and reproducible data management. ReUseData facilitates transformation of shell or other ad hoc scripts for data preprocessing into workflow-based data recipes. Evaluation of data recipes generate curated data files in their generic formats (e.g., VCF, bed). Both recipes and data are cached using database infrastructure for easy data management and reuse. Prebuilt data recipes are available through ReUseData portal ("https://rcwl.org/dataRecipes/") with full annotation and user instructions. Pregenerated data are available through ReUseData cloud bucket that is directly downloadable through "getCloudData()".

QLTExperiment defines an S4 class for storing and manipulating summary statistics from QTL mapping experiments in one or more states. It is based on the 'SummarizedExperiment' class and contains functions for creating, merging, and subsetting objects. 'QTLExperiment' also stores experiment metadata and has checks in place to ensure that transformations apply correctly.
