This package is built to perform GWAS analysis for non-Gaussian data using BG2. The BG2 method uses penalized quasi-likelihood along with nonlocal priors in a two step manner to identify SNPs in GWAS analysis. The research related to this package was supported in part by National Science Foundation awards DMS 1853549 and DMS 2054173.

Full genome sequences for Canis lupus familiaris (Dog) as provided by UCSC (canFam2, May 2005) and stored in Biostrings objects. The sequences are the same as in BSgenome.Cfamiliaris.UCSC.canFam2, 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), and (4) the mask of repeats from Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF mask). Only the AGAPS and AMB masks are "active" by default.

Raw data objects used to estimate saliva cell proportion estimates in ewastools. The FlowSorted.Saliva.EPIC object is constructed from samples assayed by Lauren Middleton et. al. (2021).

Blacksheep is a tool designed for outlier analysis in the context of pairwise comparisons in an effort to find distinguishing characteristics from two groups. This tool was designed to be applied for biological applications such as phosphoproteomics or transcriptomics, but it can be used for any data that can be represented by a 2D table, and has two sub populations within the table to compare.

From the perspective of metabolites as the continuation of the central dogma of biology, metabolomics provides the closest link to many phenotypes of interest. This makes metabolomics research promising in teasing apart the complexities of living systems. However, due to experimental reasons, the data includes non-biological variation which limits quality and reproducibility, especially if the data is obtained from several batches. The batchCorr package reduces unwanted variation by way of between-batch alignment, within-batch drift correction and between-batch normalization using batch-specific quality control samples and long-term reference QC samples. Please see the associated article for more thorough descriptions of algorithms.

Battlefield is a Swiss-army toolkit originally developed to define and extract spatial spots from specific tissue regions—such as front regions, niche borders, invasive margins, and cluster interfaces—using spatial transcriptomics data or clustered tissue maps. It has since been extended to support trajectory selection and layer inspection, and now provides a collection of low-level utilities for spatial transcriptomics analysis. These utilities are primarily intended to be reused within higher-level analytical packages. It is designed to work with sequencing-based platforms such as Visium at several resolutions and Visium HD(binned).

Full genome sequences for Homo sapiens (Human) as provided by UCSC (hg38, based on GRCh38.p12) with minor alleles injected from dbSNP151, and stored in Biostrings objects. Full genome sequences for Homo sapiens (Human) as provided by UCSC (hg38, based on GRCh38.p12) with minor alleles injected from dbSNP151, and stored in Biostrings objects. Only common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) with at least one alternate allele with frequency greater than 0.01 were considered. For SNVs with more than 1 alternate allele, the most frequent allele was chosen as the minor allele to be injected into the reference genome.

The barbieQ package provides a series of robust statistical tools for analysing barcode count data generated from cell clonal tracking (i.e., lineage tracing) experiments. In these experiments, an initial cell and its offspring collectively form a clone (i.e., lineage). A unique barcode sequence, incorporated into the DNA of the inital cell, is inherited within the clone. This one-to-one mapping of barcodes to clones enables clonal tracking of their behaviors. By counting barcodes, researchers can quantify the population abundance of individual clones under specific experimental perturbations. barbieQ supports barcode count data preprocessing, statistical testing, and visualization.

The Bandle package enables the analysis and visualisation of differential localisation experiments using mass-spectrometry data. Experimental methods supported include dynamic LOPIT-DC, hyperLOPIT, Dynamic Organellar Maps, Dynamic PCP. It provides Bioconductor infrastructure to analyse these data.
