sevenC
github.com/ibn-salem/sevencChromatin looping is an essential feature of eukaryotic genomes and can bring regulatory sequences, such as enhancers or transcription factor binding sites, in the close physical proximity of regulated target genes. Here, we provide sevenC, an R package that uses protein binding signals from ChIP-seq and sequence motif information to predict chromatin looping events. Cross-linking of proteins that bind close to loop anchors result in ChIP-seq signals at both anchor loci. These signals are used at CTCF motif pairs together with their distance and orientation to each other to predict whether they interact or not. The resulting chromatin loops might be used to associate enhancers or transcription factor binding sites (e.g., ChIP-seq peaks) to regulated target genes.

geneXtendeR optimizes the functional annotation of ChIP-seq peaks by exploring relative differences in annotating ChIP-seq peak sets to variable-length gene bodies. In contrast to prior techniques, geneXtendeR considers peak annotations beyond just the closest gene, allowing users to see peak summary statistics for the first-closest gene, second-closest gene, ..., n-closest gene whilst ranking the output according to biologically relevant events and iteratively comparing the fidelity of peak-to-gene overlap across a user-defined range of upstream and downstream extensions on the original boundaries of each gene's coordinates. Since different ChIP-seq peak callers produce different differentially enriched peaks with a large variance in peak length distribution and total peak count, annotating peak lists with their nearest genes can often be a noisy process. As such, the goal of geneXtendeR is to robustly link differentially enriched peaks with their respective genes, thereby aiding experimental follow-up and validation in designing primers for a set of prospective gene candidates during qPCR.
MotifPeeker is used to compare and analyse datasets from epigenomic profiling methods with motif enrichment as the key benchmark. The package outputs an HTML report consisting of three sections: (1. General Metrics) Overview of peaks-related general metrics for the datasets (FRiP scores, peak widths and motif-summit distances). (2. Known Motif Enrichment Analysis) Statistics for the frequency of user-provided motifs enriched in the datasets. (3. Motif Discovery Enrichment Analysis) Statistics for the frequency of ab-initio discovered motifs enriched in the datasets and compared with known motifs.
This package provides a set of functions useful in the analysis of 3D genomic interactions. It includes the import of standard HiC data formats into R and HiC normalisation procedures. The main objective of this package is to improve the visualization and quantification of the analysis of HiC contacts through aggregation. The package allows to import 1D genomics data, such as peaks from ATACSeq, ChIPSeq, to create potential couples between features of interest under user-defined parameters such as distance between pairs of features of interest. It allows then the extraction of contact values from the HiC data for these couples and to perform Aggregated Peak Analysis (APA) for visualization, but also to compare normalized contact values between conditions. Overall the package allows to integrate 1D genomics data with 3D genomics data, providing an easy access to HiC contact values.
Differential expression analysis of sequence count data. Implements a range of statistical methodology based on the negative binomial distributions, including empirical Bayes estimation, exact tests, generalized linear models, quasi-likelihood, and gene set enrichment. Can perform differential analyses of any type of omics data that produces read counts, including RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Bisulfite-seq, SAGE, CAGE, metabolomics, or proteomics spectral counts. RNA-seq analyses can be conducted at the gene or isoform level, and tests can be conducted for differential exon or transcript usage.
A tool to measure reproducibility between genomic experiments that produce two-dimensional peaks (interactions between peaks), such as ChIA-PET, HiChIP, and HiC. idr2d is an extension of the original idr package, which is intended for (one-dimensional) ChIP-seq peaks.
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.
