systemPipeR is a workflow management environment for reproducible data analysis that integrates R with command-line software. It enables researchers to design, execute, and report complex workflows on local machines and HPC systems. The framework combines R-based analysis with external tools through a Common Workflow Language (CWL) interface, manages workflow dependencies and restart capabilities, and automatically generates reproducible scientific analysis reports. The companion package systemPipeRdata provides ready-to-use workflow templates that simplify workflow setup and customization. Alternatively, workflow templates can be loaded from dedicated GitHub repositories.

This package provides a framework and complete preset pipeline for quantification and analysis of ATAC-seq Reads. It covers raw sequencing reads preprocessing (FASTQ files), reads alignment (Rbowtie2), aligned reads file operations (SAM, BAM, and BED files), peak calling (F-seq), genome annotations (Motif, GO, SNP analysis) and quality control report. The package is managed by dataflow graph. It is easy for user to pass variables seamlessly between processes and understand the workflow. Users can process FASTQ files through end-to-end preset pipeline which produces a pretty HTML report for quality control and preliminary statistical results, or customize workflow starting from any intermediate stages with esATAC functions easily and flexibly.

A 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.

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.

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).

recoup calculates and plots signal profiles created from short sequence reads derived from Next Generation Sequencing technologies. The profiles provided are either sumarized curve profiles or heatmap profiles. Currently, recoup supports genomic profile plots for reads derived from ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq experiments. The package uses ggplot2 and ComplexHeatmap graphics facilities for curve and heatmap coverage profiles respectively.
