Animalcules is an R package for utilizing up-to-date data analytics, visualization methods, and machine learning models to provide users an easy-to-use interactive microbiome analysis framework. It can be used as a standalone software package or users can explore their data with the accompanying interactive R Shiny application. Traditional microbiome analysis such as alpha/beta diversity and differential abundance analysis are enhanced, while new methods like biomarker identification are introduced by animalcules. Powerful interactive and dynamic figures generated by animalcules enable users to understand their data better and discover new insights.

This package implements a model of per-position sequencing bias in high-throughput sequencing data using a simple Bayesian network, the structure and parameters of which are trained on a set of aligned reads and a reference genome sequence.

This package provides tools for clustering and enhancing the resolution of spatial gene expression experiments. BayesSpace clusters a low-dimensional representation of the gene expression matrix, incorporating a spatial prior to encourage neighboring spots to cluster together. The method can enhance the resolution of the low-dimensional representation into "sub-spots", for which features such as gene expression or cell type composition can be imputed.

This package implements functions for combinatorial and differential analysis of ChIP-seq data. It includes uni- and multivariate peak-calling, export to genome browser viewable files, and functions for enrichment analyses.

This package implements infrastructures for ontology analysis by offering efficient data structures, fast ontology traversal methods, and elegant visualizations. It provides a robust toolbox supporting over 70 methods for semantic similarity analysis.

This package provides infrastructure to store and manage all aspects related to a complete proteomics or metabolomics mass spectrometry (MS) experiment. The MsExperiment package provides light-weight and flexible containers for MS experiments building on the new MS infrastructure provided by the Spectra, QFeatures and related packages. Along with raw data representations, links to original data files and sample annotations, additional metadata or annotations can also be stored within the MsExperiment container. To guarantee maximum flexibility only minimal constraints are put on the type and content of the data within the containers.

This package provides a one-to-one mapping from gene to "best" probe set for four Affymetrix human gene expression microarrays: hgu95av2, hgu133a, hgu133plus2, and u133x3p. On Affymetrix gene expression microarrays, a single gene may be measured by multiple probe sets. This can present a mild conundrum when attempting to evaluate a gene "signature" that is defined by gene names rather than by specific probe sets. This package also includes the pre-calculated probe set quality scores that were used to define the mapping.

This package provides a database of PolyPhen predictions for Homo sapiens dbSNP build 131.

This is an annotation package for Illumina's EPIC v2.0 methylation arrays. The version 2 covers more than 935K CpG sites in the human genome hg38. It is an update of the original EPIC v1.0 array (i.e., the 850K methylation array).

Independent Surrogate Variable Analysis is an algorithm for feature selection in the presence of potential confounding factors (see Teschendorff AE et al 2011, <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btr171>).

This package contains classes used in model-view-controller (MVC) design.

This package creates karyotype plots of arbitrary genomes and offers a complete set of functions to plot arbitrary data on them. It mimics many R base graphics functions coupling them with a coordinate change function automatically mapping the chromosome and data coordinates into the plot coordinates.

Gcrma adjusts for background intensities in Affymetrix array data which include optical noise and non-specific binding (NSB). The main function gcrma converts background adjusted probe intensities to expression measures using the same normalization and summarization methods as a Robust Multiarray Average (RMA). Gcrma uses probe sequence information to estimate probe affinity to NSB. The sequence information is summarized in a more complex way than the simple GC content. Instead, the base types (A, T, G or C) at each position along the probe determine the affinity of each probe. The parameters of the position-specific base contributions to the probe affinity is estimated in an NSB experiment in which only NSB but no gene-specific binding is expected.

CIGAR stands for Concise Idiosyncratic Gapped Alignment Report. CIGAR strings are found in the BAM files produced by most aligners and in the AIRR-formatted output produced by IgBLAST. The cigarillo package provides functions to parse and inspect CIGAR strings, trim them, turn them into ranges of positions relative to the "query space" or "reference space", and project positions or sequences from one space to the other. Note that these operations are low-level operations that the user rarely needs to perform directly. More typically, they are performed behind the scene by higher-level functionality implemented in other packages like Bioconductor packages GenomicAlignments and igblastr.

Analysis of Ct values from high throughput quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays across multiple conditions or replicates. The input data can be from spatially-defined formats such ABI TaqMan Low Density Arrays or OpenArray; LightCycler from Roche Applied Science; the CFX plates from Bio-Rad Laboratories; conventional 96- or 384-well plates; or microfluidic devices such as the Dynamic Arrays from Fluidigm Corporation. HTqPCR handles data loading, quality assessment, normalization, visualization and parametric or non-parametric testing for statistical significance in Ct values between features (e.g. genes, microRNAs).

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods are typically unable to quantify the expression levels of all genes in a cell, creating a need for the computational prediction of missing values (dropout imputation). Most existing dropout imputation methods are limited in the sense that they exclusively use the scRNA-seq dataset at hand and do not exploit external gene-gene relationship information. The ADImpute package proposes two methods to address this issue:

1. a gene regulatory network-based approach using gene-gene relationships learnt from external data;

2. a baseline approach corresponding to a sample-wide average.

ADImpute implements these novel methods and also combines them with existing imputation methods like DrImpute and SAVER. ADImpute can learn the best performing method per gene and combine the results from different methods into an ensemble.

This package is a computational tool box for radio-genomic analysis which integrates radio-response data, radio-biological modelling and comprehensive cell line annotations for hundreds of cancer cell lines. The RadioSet class enables creation and manipulation of standardized datasets including information about cancer cells lines, radio-response assays and dose-response indicators. Included methods allow fitting and plotting dose-response data using established radio-biological models along with quality control to validate results. Additional functions related to fitting and plotting dose response curves, quantifying statistical correlation and calculating AUC or SF are included.

This package provides functions for inferring continuous, branching lineage structures in low-dimensional data. Slingshot was designed to model developmental trajectories in single-cell RNA sequencing data and serve as a component in an analysis pipeline after dimensionality reduction and clustering. It is flexible enough to handle arbitrarily many branching events and allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge through supervised graph construction.
