ATAC-seq, an assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing, is a rapid and sensitive method for chromatin accessibility analysis. It was developed as an alternative method to MNase-seq, FAIRE-seq and DNAse-seq. The ATACseqQC package was developed to help users to quickly assess whether their ATAC-seq experiment is successful. It includes diagnostic plots of fragment size distribution, proportion of mitochondria reads, nucleosome positioning pattern, and CTCF or other Transcript Factor footprints.

This package exposes an annotation database generated from Ensembl.

This package provides a test harness for bsseq loading of Biscuit output, summarization of WGBS data over defined regions and in mappable samples, with or without imputation, dropping of mostly-NA rows, age estimates, etc.

MaAsLin2 is comprehensive R package for efficiently determining multivariable association between clinical metadata and microbial meta'omic features. This package relies on general linear models to accommodate most modern epidemiological study designs, including cross-sectional and longitudinal, and offers a variety of data exploration, normalization, and transformation methods.

This package provides a package to analyze oligonucleotide arrays (expression/SNP/tiling/exon) at probe-level. It currently supports Affymetrix (CEL files) and NimbleGen arrays (XYS files).

The package AlphaBeta is a computational method for estimating epimutation rates and spectra from high-throughput DNA methylation data in plants. The method has been specifically designed to:

• analyze germline epimutations in the context of multi-generational mutation accumulation lines;

• analyze somatic epimutations in the context of plant development and aging.

This package provides RcisTarget databases: Gene-based motif rankings and annotation to transcription factors. This package contains a subset of 4.6k motifs (cisbp motifs), scored only within 500bp upstream and the TSS. See RcisTarget tutorial to download the full databases, containing 20k motifs and search space up to 10kbp around the TSS.

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.

The biovizBase package is designed to provide a set of utilities, color schemes and conventions for genomic data. It serves as the base for various high-level packages for biological data visualization. This saves development effort and encourages consistency.

This package provides C and C++ HDF5 libraries for use in R packages.

The package xmapbridge can plot graphs in the X:Map genome browser. X:Map uses the Google Maps API to provide a scrollable view of the genome. It supports a number of species, and can be accessed at http://xmap.picr.man.ac.uk. This package exports plotting files in a suitable format. Graph plotting in R is done using calls to the functions xmap.plot and xmap.points, which have parameters that aim to be similar to those used by the standard plot methods in R. These result in data being written to a set of files (in a specific directory structure) that contain the data to be displayed, as well as some additional meta-data describing each of the graphs.

This package provides a multivariate inferential analysis method for detecting differentially expressed genes in gene expression data. It uses artificial components, close to the data's principal components but with an exact interpretation in terms of differential genetic expression, to identify differentially expressed genes while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR).

This package contains example data for Illumina microarray output files, for testing purposes.

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

TrackViewer offers multi-omics analysis with web based tracks and lollipops. Visualize mapped reads along with annotation as track layers for NGS datasets such as ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, DNA-seq, SNPs and methylation data.

The semantic comparisons of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations provide quantitative ways to compute similarities between genes and gene groups, and have became important basis for many bioinformatics analysis approaches. GOSemSim is an R package for semantic similarity computation among GO terms, sets of GO terms, gene products and gene clusters.

This R/Bioconductor package provides an interface between HDF5 and R. HDF5's main features are the ability to store and access very large and/or complex datasets and a wide variety of metadata on mass storage (disk) through a completely portable file format. The rhdf5 package is thus suited for the exchange of large and/or complex datasets between R and other software package, and for letting R applications work on datasets that are larger than the available RAM.

This package provides the complete genome sequences for Homo sapiens as provided by UCSC (genome hg38, based on assembly GRCh38.p14 since 2023/01/31). The sequences are the same as in BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38, except that each of them has the 4 following masks on top:

1. the mask of assembly gaps (AGAPS mask);

2. the mask of intra-contig ambiguities (AMB mask);

3. the mask of repeats from RepeatMasker (RM mask);

4. the mask of repeats from Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF mask).

Only the AGAPS and AMB masks are "active" by default. The sequences are stored in MaskedDNAString objects.

This is a representation of public golub data with some covariate data of provenance unknown to the maintainer at present; it now employs ExpressionSet format.

This is a package for noise-robust soft clustering of gene expression time-series data (including a graphical user interface).

The package is usable with Affymetrix GeneChip short oligonucleotide arrays, and it can be adapted or extended to other platforms. It is able to modify or replace the grouping of probes in the probe sets. Also, the package contains simple functions to read R connections in the FASTA format and it can create an alternative mapping from sequences.

This package contains default datasets used by the Bioconductor package biscuiteer.

This package is designed to store minor allele frequency data. It retrieves this data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD version 3.1.2) for the human genome version GRCh38.

This package provides repository information for the appropriate version of Bioconductor.
