bambu is a R package for multi-sample transcript discovery and quantification using long read RNA-Seq data. You can use bambu after read alignment to obtain expression estimates for known and novel transcripts and genes. The output from bambu can directly be used for visualisation and downstream analysis such as differential gene expression or transcript usage.

Single-cell mRNA sequencing can uncover novel cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression levels in seemingly homogeneous populations of cells. However, these experiments are prone to high levels of technical noise, creating new challenges for identifying genes that show genuine heterogeneous expression within the population of cells under study. BASiCS (Bayesian Analysis of Single-Cell Sequencing data) is an integrated Bayesian hierarchical model to perform statistical analyses of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets in the context of supervised experiments (where the groups of cells of interest are known a priori, e.g. experimental conditions or cell types). BASiCS performs built-in data normalisation (global scaling) and technical noise quantification (based on spike-in genes). BASiCS provides an intuitive detection criterion for highly (or lowly) variable genes within a single group of cells. Additionally, BASiCS can compare gene expression patterns between two or more pre-specified groups of cells. Unlike traditional differential expression tools, BASiCS quantifies changes in expression that lie beyond comparisons of means, also allowing the study of changes in cell-to-cell heterogeneity. The latter can be quantified via a biological over-dispersion parameter that measures the excess of variability that is observed with respect to Poisson sampling noise, after normalisation and technical noise removal. Due to the strong mean/over-dispersion confounding that is typically observed for scRNA-seq datasets, BASiCS also tests for changes in residual over-dispersion, defined by residual values with respect to a global mean/over-dispersion trend.

This package fits a model to the pattern of dropouts in single-cell RNASeq data. This model is used as a null to identify significantly variable (i.e. differentially expressed) genes for use in downstream analysis, such as clustering cells. Also includes an method for calculating exact Pearson residuals in UMI-tagged data using a library-size aware negative binomial model.

satuRn provides a higly performant and scalable framework for performing differential transcript usage analyses. The package consists of three main functions. The first function, fitDTU, fits quasi-binomial generalized linear models that model transcript usage in different groups of interest. The second function, testDTU, tests for differential usage of transcripts between groups of interest. Finally, plotDTU visualizes the usage profiles of transcripts in groups of interest.

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.

Implements R bindings to C++ code for analyzing single-cell (expression) data, mostly from various libscran libraries. Each function performs an individual step in the single-cell analysis workflow, ranging from quality control to clustering and marker detection. Additional wrappers are provided for easy construction of end-to-end workflows involving Bioconductor objects like SingleCellExperiments.
