Polytect
github.com/emmachenlingo/polytectPolytect is an advanced computational tool designed for the analysis of multi-color digital PCR data. It provides automatic clustering and labeling of partitions into distinct groups based on clusters first identified by the flowPeaks algorithm. Polytect is particularly useful for researchers in molecular biology and bioinformatics, enabling them to gain deeper insights into their experimental results through precise partition classification and data visualization.

metagenomeSeq is designed to determine features (be it Operational Taxanomic Unit (OTU), species, etc.) that are differentially abundant between two or more groups of multiple samples. metagenomeSeq is designed to address the effects of both normalization and under-sampling of microbial communities on disease association detection and the testing of feature correlations.
The pRoloc package implements machine learning and visualisation methods for the analysis and interogation of quantitiative mass spectrometry data to reliably infer protein sub-cellular localisation.
The scDiagnostics package provides diagnostic plots to assess the quality of cell type assignments from single cell gene expression profiles. The implemented functionality allows to assess the reliability of cell type annotations, investigate gene expression patterns, and explore relationships between different cell types in query and reference datasets allowing users to detect potential misalignments between reference and query datasets. The package also provides visualization capabilities for diagnostics purposes.
The twoddpcr package takes Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) droplet amplitude data from Bio-Rad's QuantaSoft and can classify the droplets. A summary of the positive/negative droplet counts can be generated, which can then be used to estimate the number of molecules using the Poisson distribution. This is the first open source package that facilitates the automatic classification of general two channel ddPCR data. Previous work includes 'definetherain' (Jones et al., 2014) and 'ddpcRquant' (Trypsteen et al., 2015) which both handle one channel ddPCR experiments only. The 'ddpcr' package available on CRAN (Attali et al., 2016) supports automatic gating of a specific class of two channel ddPCR experiments only.
The PIUMA package offers a tidy pipeline of Topological Data Analysis frameworks to identify and characterize communities in high and heterogeneous dimensional data.
ClustIRR analyzes repertoires of B- and T-cell receptors. It starts by identifying communities of immune receptors with similar specificities, based on the sequences of their complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Next, it employs a Bayesian probabilistic models to quantify differential community occupancy (DCO) between repertoires, allowing the identification of expanding or contracting communities in response to e.g. infection or cancer treatment.
