https://bioconductor.org/packages/minaAn increasing number of microbiome datasets have been generated and analyzed with the help of rapidly developing sequencing technologies. At present, analysis of taxonomic profiling data is mainly conducted using composition-based methods, which ignores interactions between community members. Besides this, a lack of efficient ways to compare microbial interaction networks limited the study of community dynamics. To better understand how community diversity is affected by complex interactions between its members, we developed a framework (Microbial community dIversity and Network Analysis, mina), a comprehensive framework for microbial community diversity analysis and network comparison. By defining and integrating network-derived community features, we greatly reduce noise-to-signal ratio for diversity analyses. A bootstrap and permutation-based method was implemented to assess community network dissimilarities and extract discriminative features in a statistically principled way.

The easylift package provides a convenient tool for genomic liftover operations between different genome assemblies. It seamlessly works with Bioconductor's GRanges objects and chain files from the UCSC Genome Browser, allowing for straightforward handling of genomic ranges across various genome versions. One noteworthy feature of easylift is its integration with the BiocFileCache package. This integration automates the management and caching of chain files necessary for liftover operations. Users no longer need to manually specify chain file paths in their function calls, reducing the complexity of the liftover process.
SpatialArtifacts provides a data-driven two-step workflow to identify, classify, and handle spatial artifacts in spatial transcriptomics data. The package combines median absolute deviation (MAD)-based outlier detection with morphological image processing (fill, outline, and star patterns) to detect edge and interior artifacts. It supports multiple platforms including 10x Genomics Visium (standard and HD), allowing for consistent quality control across different spatial resolutions.
RNAmodR provides classes and workflows for loading/aggregation data from high througput sequencing aimed at detecting post-transcriptional modifications through analysis of specific patterns. In addition, utilities are provided to validate and visualize the results. The RNAmodR package provides a core functionality from which specific analysis strategies can be easily implemented as a seperate package.
OGRE calculates overlap between user defined genomic region datasets. Any regions can be supplied i.e. genes, SNPs, or reads from sequencing experiments. Key numbers help analyse the extend of overlaps which can also be visualized at a genomic level.
RNAmodR.AlkAnilineSeq implements the detection of m7G, m3C and D modifications on RNA from experimental data generated with the AlkAnilineSeq protocol. The package builds on the core functionality of the RNAmodR package to detect specific patterns of the modifications in high throughput sequencing data.
The package imports the result of tRNAscan-SE as a GRanges object.
