CopyNumberPlots have a set of functions extending karyoploteRs functionality to create beautiful, customizable and flexible plots of copy-number related data.

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is widely used to investigate the composition of complex tissues since the technology allows researchers to define cell-types using unsupervised clustering of the transcriptome. However, due to differences in experimental methods and computational analyses, it is often challenging to directly compare the cells identified in two different experiments. scmap is a method for projecting cells from a scRNA-seq experiment on to the cell-types or individual cells identified in a different experiment.

Programmatically access the NIH / NCI Genomic Data Commons RESTful service.

cfDNA fragments carry important features for building cancer sample classification ML models, such as fragment size, and fragment end motif etc. Analyzing and visualizing fragment size metrics, as well as other biological features in a curated, standardized, scalable, well-documented, and reproducible way might be time intensive. This package intends to resolve these problems and simplify the process. It offers two sets of functions for cfDNA feature characterization and visualization.

cogena is a workflow for co-expressed gene-set enrichment analysis. It aims to discovery smaller scale, but highly correlated cellular events that may be of great biological relevance. A novel pipeline for drug discovery and drug repositioning based on the cogena workflow is proposed. Particularly, candidate drugs can be predicted based on the gene expression of disease-related data, or other similar drugs can be identified based on the gene expression of drug-related data. Moreover, the drug mode of action can be disclosed by the associated pathway analysis. In summary, cogena is a flexible workflow for various gene set enrichment analysis for co-expressed genes, with a focus on pathway/GO analysis and drug repositioning.

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).
