fRagmentomics
github.com/elsab-lab/fragmentomicsA user-friendly R package that enables the characterization of each cfDNA fragment overlapping one or multiple mutations of interest, starting from a sequencing file containing aligned reads (BAM file). fRagmentomics supports multiple mutation input formats (e.g., VCF, TSV, or string "chr:pos:ref:alt" representation), accommodates one-based and zero-based genomic conventions, handles mutation representation ambiguities, and accepts any reference file and species in FASTA format. For each cfDNA fragment, fRagmentomics outputs its size, its 3' and 5' sequences, and its mutational status. Optionally, when users set apply_bcftools_norm = TRUE, fRagmentomics invokes the external command-line tool bcftools norm to left-align and normalize variants. If bcftools is not found on the system PATH while this option is enabled, the function errors. The package does not install external software; see the INSTALL file for per-OS instructions.

Alignment, quantification and analysis of RNA sequencing data (including both bulk RNA-seq and scRNA-seq) and DNA sequenicng data (including ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, WGS, WES etc). Includes functionality for read mapping, read counting, SNP calling, structural variant detection and gene fusion discovery. Can be applied to all major sequencing techologies and to both short and long sequence reads.
The package provides S4 classes and methods to filter, summarise and visualise genetic variation data stored in VCF files. In particular, the package extends the FilterRules class (S4Vectors package) to define news classes of filter rules applicable to the various slots of VCF objects. Functionalities are integrated and demonstrated in a Shiny web-application, the Shiny Variant Explorer (tSVE).
Set of utility functions for viral quasispecies analysis with NGS data. Most functions are equally useful for metagenomic studies. There are three main types: (1) data manipulation and exploration—functions useful for converting reads to haplotypes and frequencies, repairing reads, intersecting strand haplotypes, and visualizing haplotype alignments. (2) diversity indices—functions to compute diversity and entropy, in which incidence, abundance, and functional indices are considered. (3) data simulation—functions useful for generating random viral quasispecies data.
This package can generate a synthetic map with reads covering the nucleosome regions as well as a synthetic map with forward and reverse reads emulating next-generation sequencing. The synthetic hybridization data of “Tiling Arrays” can also be generated. The user has choice between three different distributions for the read positioning: Normal, Student and Uniform. In addition, a visualization tool is provided to explore the synthetic nucleosome maps.
Uses quadratic programming for signature refitting, i.e., to decompose the mutation catalog from an individual tumor sample into a set of given mutational signatures (either Alexandrov-model signatures or Shiraishi-model signatures), computing weights that reflect the contributions of the signatures to the mutation load of the tumor.
High-throughput extensible toolkit for processing FASTQ data. The goal of this package is to empower users to quickly build out small programmatic 'kernels' to define any FASTQ processing task they may need. Builds on Intel TBB’s flow graph to orchestrate concurrent I/O and data processing; throughput can be as fast as compression and disk speed allows. The package also ships with a suite of predefined kernels for common FASTQ tasks.
