nethet
Package nethet is an implementation of statistical solid methodology enabling the analysis of network heterogeneity from high-dimensional data. It combines several implementations of recent statistical innovations useful for estimation and comparison of networks in a heterogeneous, high-dimensional setting. In particular, we provide code for formal two-sample testing in Gaussian graphical models (differential network and GGM-GSA; Stadler and Mukherjee, 2013, 2014) and make a novel network-based clustering algorithm available (mixed graphical lasso, Stadler and Mukherjee, 2013).

SCUDO (Signature-based Clustering for Diagnostic Purposes) is a rank-based method for the analysis of gene expression profiles for diagnostic and classification purposes. It is based on the identification of sample-specific gene signatures composed of the most up- and down-regulated genes for that sample. Starting from gene expression data, functions in this package identify sample-specific gene signatures and use them to build a graph of samples. In this graph samples are joined by edges if they have a similar expression profile, according to a pre-computed similarity matrix. The similarity between the expression profiles of two samples is computed using a method similar to GSEA. The graph of samples can then be used to perform community clustering or to perform supervised classification of samples in a testing set.
Drop-in replacement for BiocNeighbors::findKNN using the jvecfor Java library, which builds on the jvector library to leverage the Java Vector API for portable SIMD acceleration across AVX2, AVX-512, and ARM NEON hardware. jvecfor/jvector implements HNSW-DiskANN approximate search and VP-tree exact search. The package achieves approximately 2x speedup over Annoy-based search at n >= 50K cells while returning output structurally identical to BiocNeighbors, making it suitable for seamless integration into existing Bioconductor single-cell workflows. Convenience wrappers delegate shared nearest-neighbor (SNN) and k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) graph construction to the bluster package.
"Methylation-Aware Genotype Association in R" (MAGAR) computes methQTL from DNA methylation and genotyping data from matched samples. MAGAR uses a linear modeling stragety to call CpGs/SNPs that are methQTLs. MAGAR accounts for the local correlation structure of CpGs.
Pigengene package provides an efficient way to infer biological signatures from gene expression profiles. The signatures are independent from the underlying platform, e.g., the input can be microarray or RNA Seq data. It can even infer the signatures using data from one platform, and evaluate them on the other. Pigengene identifies the modules (clusters) of highly coexpressed genes using coexpression network analysis, summarizes the biological information of each module in an eigengene, learns a Bayesian network that models the probabilistic dependencies between modules, and builds a decision tree based on the expression of eigengenes.
This package uses bayesian network learning to detect relationships between Gene Modules detected by WGCNA and immune cell signatures defined by xCell. It is a hypothesis generating tool.
The spatialHeatmap package offers the primary functionality for visualizing cell-, tissue- and organ-specific assay data in spatial anatomical images. Additionally, it provides extended functionalities for large-scale data mining routines and co-visualizing bulk and single-cell data.
