RBM

Used to determine which cell types are enriched within gene lists. The package provides tools for testing enrichments within simple gene lists (such as human disease associated genes) and those resulting from differential expression studies. The package does not depend upon any particular Single Cell Transcriptome dataset and user defined datasets can be loaded in and used in the analyses.

Pathview is a tool set for pathway based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set (enrichment) analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis.

This package produces interactive visualizations for RNA-seq data analysis, utilizing output from limma, edgeR, or DESeq2. It produces interactive htmlwidgets versions of popular RNA-seq analysis plots to enhance the exploration of analysis results by overlaying interactive features. The plots can be viewed in a web browser or embedded in notebook documents.

xCell2 provides methods for cell type enrichment analysis using cell type signatures. It includes three main functions - 1. xCell2Train for training custom references objects from bulk or single-cell RNA-seq datasets. 2. xCell2Analysis for conducting the cell type enrichment analysis using the custom reference. 3. xCell2GetLineage for identifying dependencies between different cell types using ontology.

A tool for the identification of differentially coexpressed links (DCLs) and differentially coexpressed genes (DCGs). DCLs are gene pairs with significantly different correlation coefficients under two conditions. DCGs are genes with significantly more DCLs than by chance.

The GSEABenchmarkeR package implements an extendable framework for reproducible evaluation of set- and network-based methods for enrichment analysis of gene expression data. This includes support for the efficient execution of these methods on comprehensive real data compendia (microarray and RNA-seq) using parallel computation on standard workstations and institutional computer grids. Methods can then be assessed with respect to runtime, statistical significance, and relevance of the results for the phenotypes investigated.
