xenLite

Defines an S4 class for storing data from spatial -omics experiments. The class extends SingleCellExperiment to support storage and retrieval of additional information from spot-based and molecule-based platforms, including spatial coordinates, images, and image metadata. A specialized constructor function is included for data from the 10x Genomics Visium platform.

This package provides modified versions and novel implementation of functions for parallel evaluation, tailored to use with Bioconductor objects.

The cBioPortalData R package accesses study datasets from the cBio Cancer Genomics Portal. It accesses the data either from the pre-packaged zip / tar files or from the API interface that was recently implemented by the cBioPortal Data Team. The package can provide data in either tabular format or with MultiAssayExperiment object that uses familiar Bioconductor data representations.

Bioconductor has a rich ecosystem of metadata around packages, usage, and build status. This package is a simple collection of functions to access that metadata from R. The goal is to expose metadata for data mining and value-added functionality such as package searching, text mining, and analytics on packages.

This package provides a client for the Bioconductor ExperimentHub web resource. ExperimentHub provides a central location where curated data from experiments, publications or training courses can be accessed. Each resource has associated metadata, tags and date of modification. The client creates and manages a local cache of files retrieved enabling quick and reproducible access.

The package allows users to readily import spatial data obtained from either the 10X website or from the Space Ranger pipeline. Supported formats include tar.gz, h5, and mtx files. Multiple files can be imported at once with *List type of functions. The package represents data mainly as SpatialExperiment objects.
