EDIRquery
EDIRquery provides a tool to search for genes of interest within the Exome Database of Interspersed Repeats (EDIR). A gene name is a required input, and users can additionally specify repeat sequence lengths, minimum and maximum distance between sequences, and whether to allow a 1-bp mismatch. Outputs include a summary of results by repeat length, as well as a dataframe of query results. Example data provided includes a subset of the data for the gene GAA (ENSG00000171298). To query the full database requires providing a path to the downloaded database files as a parameter.

MotifPeeker is used to compare and analyse datasets from epigenomic profiling methods with motif enrichment as the key benchmark. The package outputs an HTML report consisting of three sections: (1. General Metrics) Overview of peaks-related general metrics for the datasets (FRiP scores, peak widths and motif-summit distances). (2. Known Motif Enrichment Analysis) Statistics for the frequency of user-provided motifs enriched in the datasets. (3. Motif Discovery Enrichment Analysis) Statistics for the frequency of ab-initio discovered motifs enriched in the datasets and compared with known motifs.

The package is aimed at inference on the amount of agreement in two sorted lists using the Rank-Rank Hypergeometric Overlap test.
The two main functions in the package are pairwiseAlignment() and stringDist(). The former solves (Needleman-Wunsch) global alignment, (Smith-Waterman) local alignment, and (ends-free) overlap alignment problems. The latter computes the Levenshtein edit distance or pairwise alignment score matrix for a set of strings.
