Tools for TMT based quantitative proteomics data analysis.

Data analysis, linear models and differential expression for omics data.

The package DAPAR is a Bioconductor distributed R package which provides all the necessary functions to analyze quantitative data from label-free proteomics experiments. Contrarily to most other similar R packages, it is endowed with rich and user-friendly graphical interfaces, so that no programming skill is required (see `Prostar` package).

This package implements a variety of functions useful for gene set analysis using rotations to approximate the null distribution. It contributes with the implementation of seven test statistic scores that can be used with different goals and interpretations. Several functions are available to complement the statistical results with graphical representations.

Account for missing values in label-free mass spectrometry data without imputation. The package implements a probabilistic dropout model that ensures that the information from observed and missing values are properly combined. It adds empirical Bayesian priors to increase power to detect differentially abundant proteins.

Quantification and differential analysis of mass-spectrometry proteomics data, with probabilistic recovery of information from missing values. Avoids the need for imputation. Estimates the detection probability curve (DPC), which relates the probability of successful detection to the underlying log-intensity of each precursor ion, and uses it to incorporate missing values into protein quantification and into subsequent differential expression analyses. The package produces objects suitable for downstream analysis in limma. The package accepts precursor (or peptide) intensities including missing values and produces complete protein quantifications without the need for imputation. The uncertainty of the protein quantifications is propagated through to the limma analyses using variance modeling and precision weights, ensuring accurate error rate control. The analysis pipeline can alternatively work with PTM or protein level data. The package name "limpa" is an acronym for "Linear Models for Proteomics Data".
