CATALYST provides tools for preprocessing of and differential discovery in cytometry data such as FACS, CyTOF, and IMC. Preprocessing includes i) normalization using bead standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation. For differential discovery, the package provides a number of convenient functions for data processing (e.g., clustering, dimension reduction), as well as a suite of visualizations for exploratory data analysis and exploration of results from differential abundance (DA) and state (DS) analysis in order to identify differences in composition and expression profiles at the subpopulation-level, respectively.

HiCcompare provides functions for joint normalization and difference detection in multiple Hi-C datasets. HiCcompare operates on processed Hi-C data in the form of chromosome-specific chromatin interaction matrices. It accepts three-column tab-separated text files storing chromatin interaction matrices in a sparse matrix format which are available from several sources. HiCcompare is designed to give the user the ability to perform a comparative analysis on the 3-Dimensional structure of the genomes of cells in different biological states.`HiCcompare` differs from other packages that attempt to compare Hi-C data in that it works on processed data in chromatin interaction matrix format instead of pre-processed sequencing data. In addition, `HiCcompare` provides a non-parametric method for the joint normalization and removal of biases between two Hi-C datasets for the purpose of comparative analysis. `HiCcompare` also provides a simple yet robust method for detecting differences between Hi-C datasets.

Provides a reproducible and modular workflow for absolute microbial quantification using spike-in controls. Supports both single spike-in taxa and synthetic microbial communities with user-defined spike-in volumes and genome copy numbers. Compatible with 'phyloseq' and 'TreeSummarizedExperiment' (TSE) data structures. The package implements methods for spike-in validation, preprocessing, scaling factor estimation, absolute abundance conversion, bias correction, and normalization. Facilitates downstream statistical analyses with 'DESeq2', 'edgeR', and other Bioconductor-compatible methods. Visualization tools are provided via 'ggplot2', 'ggtree', and related packages. Includes detailed vignettes, case studies, and function-level documentation to guide users through experimental design, quantification, and interpretation.

ChromSCape - Chromatin landscape profiling for Single Cells - is a ready-to-launch user-friendly Shiny Application for the analysis of single-cell epigenomics datasets (scChIP-seq, scATAC-seq, scCUT&Tag, ...) from aligned data to differential analysis & gene set enrichment analysis. It is highly interactive, enables users to save their analysis and covers a wide range of analytical steps: QC, preprocessing, filtering, batch correction, dimensionality reduction, vizualisation, clustering, differential analysis and gene set analysis.

The POMA package offers a comprehensive toolkit designed for omics data analysis, streamlining the process from initial visualization to final statistical analysis. Its primary goal is to simplify and unify the various steps involved in omics data processing, making it more accessible and manageable within a single, intuitive R package. Emphasizing on reproducibility and user-friendliness, POMA leverages the standardized SummarizedExperiment class from Bioconductor, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with a wide array of Bioconductor tools. This approach guarantees maximum flexibility and replicability, making POMA an essential asset for researchers handling omics datasets. See https://github.com/pcastellanoescuder/POMAShiny.

msqrob2 provides a robust linear mixed model framework for assessing differential abundance in MS-based Quantitative proteomics experiments. Our workflows can start from raw peptide intensities or summarised protein expression values. The model parameter estimates can be stabilized by ridge regression, empirical Bayes variance estimation and robust M-estimation. msqrob2's hurde workflow can handle missing data without having to rely on hard-to-verify imputation assumptions, and, outcompetes state-of-the-art methods with and without imputation for both high and low missingness. It builds on QFeature infrastructure for quantitative mass spectrometry data to store the model results together with the raw data and preprocessed data.
