The aim of TCGAbiolinks is : i) facilitate the GDC open-access data retrieval, ii) prepare the data using the appropriate pre-processing strategies, iii) provide the means to carry out different standard analyses and iv) to easily reproduce earlier research results. In more detail, the package provides multiple methods for analysis (e.g., differential expression analysis, identifying differentially methylated regions) and methods for visualization (e.g., survival plots, volcano plots, starburst plots) in order to easily develop complete analysis pipelines.

This tool estimates the completeness of KEGG pathway modules from the presence or absence of KEGG orthologues (KOs)

Use this package to interface with the WikiPathways API. It provides programmatic access to WikiPathways content in multiple data and image formats, including official monthly release files and convenient GMT read/write functions.

mitch is an R package for multi-contrast enrichment analysis. At it’s heart, it uses a rank-MANOVA based statistical approach to detect sets of genes that exhibit enrichment in the multidimensional space as compared to the background. The rank-MANOVA concept dates to work by Cox and Mann (https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-13-S16-S12). mitch is useful for pathway analysis of profiling studies with one, two or more contrasts, or in studies with multiple omics profiling, for example proteomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic analysis of the same samples. mitch is perfectly suited for pathway level differential analysis of scRNA-seq data. We have an established routine for pathway enrichment of Infinium Methylation Array data (see vignette). The main strengths of mitch are that it can import datasets easily from many upstream tools and has advanced plotting features to visualise these enrichments.

PinPath enables flexible visualization of (omics) data onto pathways diagrams, allowing users to pinpoint where the relevant changes occur. It supports pathway diagrams from WikiPathways and KEGG, as well as custom GPML and KGML files. Data can be displayed on both native pathway layouts and network representations
