The aim of TCGAbiolinks is:

1. facilitate GDC open-access data retrieval;

2. prepare the data using the appropriate pre-processing strategies;

3. provide the means to carry out different standard analyses, and;

4. to easily reproduce earlier research results.

In more detail, the package provides multiple methods for analysis (e.g., differential expression analysis, identifying differentially methylated regions) and methods for visualization (e.g., survival plots, volcano plots, starburst plots) in order to easily develop complete analysis pipelines.

The mzR package provides a unified API to the common file formats and parsers available for mass spectrometry data. It comes with a wrapper for the ISB random access parser for mass spectrometry mzXML, mzData and mzML files. The package contains the original code written by the ISB, and a subset of the proteowizard library for mzML and mzIdentML. The netCDF reading code has previously been used in XCMS.

This package provides classes and methods to support Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

This package provides a package that provides a client interface to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) REST server.

This package loads a TxDb object, which is an R interface to prefabricated databases contained in this package. This package provides the TxDb object of Mouse data as provided by UCSC (mm10, December 2011) based on the knownGene track.

This package provides a set of annotation maps describing the entire Disease Ontology.

The atena package quantifies expression of TEs (transposable elements) from RNA-seq data through different methods, including ERVmap, TEtranscripts and Telescope. A common interface is provided to use each of these methods, which consists of building a parameter object, calling the quantification function with this object and getting a SummarizedExperiment object as an output container of the quantified expression profiles. The implementation allows quantifing TEs and gene transcripts in an integrated manner.

This package provides tools For analyzing Illumina Infinium DNA methylation arrays. SeSAMe provides utilities to support analyses of multiple generations of Infinium DNA methylation BeadChips, including preprocessing, quality control, visualization and inference. SeSAMe features accurate detection calling, intelligent inference of ethnicity, sex and advanced quality control routines.

This package contains data and functions that define and allow translation between different chromosome sequence naming conventions (e.g., "chr1" versus "1"), including a function that attempts to place sequence names in their natural, rather than lexicographic, order.

This package provides dataset samples (Affymetrix: Expression, Gene, Exon, SNP; NimbleGen: Expression, Tiling) to be used with the oligo package.

This package contains functions and classes that are needed by the arrayCGH packages.

Expedite large RNA-Seq analyses using a combination of previously developed tools. YARN is meant to make it easier for the user in performing basic mis-annotation quality control, filtering, and condition-aware normalization. YARN leverages many Bioconductor tools and statistical techniques to account for the large heterogeneity and sparsity found in very large RNA-seq experiments.

The purpose of this package is to identify traits in a dataset that can separate groups. This is done on two levels. First, clustering is performed, using an implementation of sparse K-means. Secondly, the generated clusters are used to predict outcomes of groups of individuals based on their distribution of observations in the different clusters. As certain clusters with separating information will be identified, and these clusters are defined by a sparse number of variables, this method can reduce the complexity of data, to only emphasize the data that actually matters.

This package provides a set of protein ID mappings for PFAM, assembled using data from public repositories.

This package is Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools (CATALYST). Mass cytometry like Cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) uses heavy metal isotopes rather than fluorescent tags as reporters to label antibodies, thereby substantially decreasing spectral overlap and allowing for examination of over 50 parameters at the single cell level. While spectral overlap is significantly less pronounced in CyTOF than flow cytometry, spillover due to detection sensitivity, isotopic impurities, and oxide formation can impede data interpretability. CATALYST was designed to provide a pipeline for preprocessing of cytometry data, including:

1. normalization using bead standards;

2. single-cell deconvolution;

3. bead-based compensation.

This package provides functions necessary to perform Weighted Correlation Network Analysis on high-dimensional data. It includes functions for rudimentary data cleaning, construction and summarization of correlation networks, module identification and functions for relating both variables and modules to sample traits. It also includes a number of utility functions for data manipulation and visualization.

This package provides an R interface to the HISAT2 spliced short-read aligner by Kim et al. (2015). The package contains wrapper functions to create a genome index and to perform the read alignment to the generated index.

The AnVIL is a cloud computing resource developed in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute. The AnVIL package provides end-user and developer functionality. AnVIL provides fast binary package installation, utilities for working with Terra/AnVIL table and data resources, and convenient functions for file movement to and from Google cloud storage. For developers, AnVIL provides programmatic access to the Terra, Leonardo, Rawls, Dockstore, and Gen3 RESTful programming interface, including helper functions to transform JSON responses to formats more amenable to manipulation in R.

This is a package for multivariate data analysis and graphical display of microarray data. Functions are included for supervised dimension reduction (between group analysis) and joint dimension reduction of two datasets (coinertia analysis).

This package extracts tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) ID data from mzIdentML (leveraging the mzID package) or text files. After collating the search results from multiple datasets it assesses their identification quality and optimize filtering criteria to achieve the maximum number of identifications while not exceeding a specified false discovery rate. It also contains a number of utilities to explore the MS/MS results and assess missed and irregular enzymatic cleavages, mass measurement accuracy, etc.

This package provides the headers and static library of Protocol buffers for other R packages to compile and link against.

This package provides tools for calculating the Reproducibility-Optimized Test Statistic (ROTS) for differential testing in omics data.

This package contains gene-level counts for a collection of public scRNA-seq datasets, provided as SingleCellExperiment objects with cell- and gene-level metadata.

This package provides standard formatting styles for Bioconductor PDF and HTML documents. Package vignettes illustrate use and functionality.
