Our scLANE model uses truncated power basis spline models to build flexible, interpretable models of single cell gene expression over pseudotime or latent time. The modeling architectures currently supported are Negative-binomial GLMs, GEEs, & GLMMs. Downstream analysis functionalities include model comparison, dynamic gene clustering, smoothed counts generation, gene set enrichment testing, & visualization.

RankMap is a fast and scalable tool for reference-based cell type annotation of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. It uses ranked gene expression and multinomial regression to achieve robust predictions, even with partial gene coverage. Compatible with Seurat, SingleCellExperiment, and SpatialExperiment objects, RankMap offers flexible preprocessing and significantly faster runtime than tools like SingleR, Azimuth, and RCTD.

The goal of `tpSVG` is to detect and visualize spatial variation in the gene expression for spatially resolved transcriptomics data analysis. Specifically, `tpSVG` introduces a family of count-based models, with generalizable parametric assumptions such as Poisson distribution or negative binomial distribution. In addition, comparing to currently available count-based model for spatially resolved data analysis, the `tpSVG` models improves computational time, and hence greatly improves the applicability of count-based models in SRT data analysis.

This package implements a variety of functions useful for gene set analysis using rotations to approximate the null distribution. It contributes with the implementation of seven test statistic scores that can be used with different goals and interpretations. Several functions are available to complement the statistical results with graphical representations.

Provides an interface to several normalization and statistical testing packages for RNA-Seq gene expression data. Additionally, it creates several diagnostic plots, performs meta-analysis by combinining the results of several statistical tests and reports the results in an interactive way.

tradeSeq provides a flexible method for fitting regression models that can be used to find genes that are differentially expressed along one or multiple lineages in a trajectory. Based on the fitted models, it uses a variety of tests suited to answer different questions of interest, e.g. the discovery of genes for which expression is associated with pseudotime, or which are differentially expressed (in a specific region) along the trajectory. It fits a negative binomial generalized additive model (GAM) for each gene, and performs inference on the parameters of the GAM.
