ProteoDisco is an R package to facilitate proteogenomics studies. It houses functions to create customized (variant) protein databases based on user-submitted genomic variants, splice-junctions, fusion genes and manual transcript sequences. The flexible workflow can be adopted to suit a myriad of research and experimental settings.

This package aims to integrate GWAS-derived SNPs and coexpression networks to mine candidate genes associated with a particular phenotype. For that, users must define a set of guide genes, which are known genes involved in the studied phenotype. Additionally, the mined candidates can be given a score that favor candidates that are hubs and/or transcription factors. The scores can then be used to rank and select the top n most promising genes for downstream experiments.

Infers maternal and paternal transmitted and non-transmitted alleles from phased trio genotype data. The package supports SNP-level analyses of genetic nurture and transgenerational effects. It interoperates with Bioconductor VCF infrastructure through support for VariantAnnotation::VCF objects and returns R objects for downstream analysis.

Kataegis refers to the occurrence of regional hypermutation and is a phenomenon observed in a wide range of malignancies. Using changepoint detection katdetectr aims to identify putative kataegis foci from common data-formats housing genomic variants. Katdetectr has shown to be a robust package for the detection, characterization and visualization of kataegis.

This package estimates tumor purity, copy number, and loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and classifies single nucleotide variants (SNVs) by somatic status and clonality. PureCN is designed for targeted short read sequencing data, integrates well with standard somatic variant detection and copy number pipelines, and has support for tumor samples without matching normal samples.

Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) provide us with a wealth of data, such as RNA-seq, DNA Methylation, SNP and Copy number variation data. It's easy to download data from TCGA using the gdc tool, but processing these data into a format suitable for bioinformatics analysis requires more work. This R package was developed to handle these data.
