SimBu can be used to simulate bulk RNA-seq datasets with known cell type fractions. You can either use your own single-cell study for the simulation or the sfaira database. Different pre-defined simulation scenarios exist, as are options to run custom simulations. Additionally, expression values can be adapted by adding an mRNA bias, which produces more biologically relevant simulations.

SNPediaR provides some tools for downloading and parsing data from the SNPedia web site <http://www.snpedia.com>. The implemented functions allow users to import the wiki text available in SNPedia pages and to extract the most relevant information out of them. If some information in the downloaded pages is not automatically processed by the library functions, users can easily implement their own parsers to access it in an efficient way.

This package provides a shiny interface to the scanMiR package. The application enables the scanning of transcripts and custom sequences for miRNA binding sites, the visualization of KdModels and binding results, as well as browsing predicted repression data. In addition contains the IndexedFst class for fast indexed reading of large GenomicRanges or data.frames, and some utilities for facilitating scans and identifying enriched miRNA-target pairs.

provides a functions for generating spectra libraries that can be used for MRM SRM MS workflows in proteomics. The package provides a BiblioSpec reader, a function which can add the protein information using a FASTA formatted amino acid file, and an export method for using the created library in the Spectronaut software. The package is developed, tested and used at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich <https://fgcz.ch>.

This package implements methods to calculate information accretion for a given version of the gene ontology and uses this data to calculate remaining uncertainty, misinformation, and semantic similarity for given sets of predicted annotations and true annotations from a protein function predictor.

The speckle package contains functions for the analysis of single cell RNA-seq data. The speckle package currently contains functions to analyse differences in cell type proportions. There are also functions to estimate the parameters of the Beta distribution based on a given counts matrix, and a function to normalise a counts matrix to the median library size. There are plotting functions to visualise cell type proportions and the mean-variance relationship in cell type proportions and counts. As our research into specialised analyses of single cell data continues we anticipate that the package will be updated with new functions.

This package aims to analyse count-based methylation data on predefined genomic regions, such as those obtained by targeted sequencing, and thus to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that are associated with phenotypes or traits. The method is built a rich flexible model that allows for the effects, on the methylation levels, of multiple covariates to vary smoothly along genomic regions. At the same time, this method also allows for sequencing errors and can adjust for variability in cell type mixture.

Chromatin looping is an essential feature of eukaryotic genomes and can bring regulatory sequences, such as enhancers or transcription factor binding sites, in the close physical proximity of regulated target genes. Here, we provide sevenC, an R package that uses protein binding signals from ChIP-seq and sequence motif information to predict chromatin looping events. Cross-linking of proteins that bind close to loop anchors result in ChIP-seq signals at both anchor loci. These signals are used at CTCF motif pairs together with their distance and orientation to each other to predict whether they interact or not. The resulting chromatin loops might be used to associate enhancers or transcription factor binding sites (e.g., ChIP-seq peaks) to regulated target genes.

While gene signatures are frequently used to predict phenotypes (e.g. predict prognosis of cancer patients), it it not always clear how optimal or meaningful they are (cf David Venet, Jacques E. Dumont, and Vincent Detours paper "Most Random Gene Expression Signatures Are Significantly Associated with Breast Cancer Outcome"). Based on suggestions in that paper, SigCheck accepts a data set (as an ExpressionSet) and a gene signature, and compares its performance on survival and/or classification tasks against a) random gene signatures of the same length; b) known, related and unrelated gene signatures; and c) permuted data and/or metadata.

The NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) reads from FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) samples contain numerous artifact chimeric reads (ACRS), which can lead to false positive structural variant calls. These ACRs are derived from the combination of two single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) fragments with short reverse complementary regions (SRCRs). This package simulates these artifact chimeric reads as well as normal reads for FFPE samples on the whole genome / several chromosomes / large regions.

Subtyping via Consensus Factor Analysis (SCFA) can efficiently remove noisy signals from consistent molecular patterns in multi-omics data. SCFA first uses an autoencoder to select only important features and then repeatedly performs factor analysis to represent the data with different numbers of factors. Using these representations, it can reliably identify cancer subtypes and accurately predict risk scores of patients.

The package provides access to the copy of the Synaptic proteome database. It was designed as an accompaniment for Synaptome.DB package. Database provides information for specific synaptic genes and allows building the protein-protein interaction graph for gene sets, synaptic compartments, and brain regions. In the current update we added 6 more synaptic proteome studies, which resulted in total of 64 studies. We introduced Synaptic Vesicle as a separate compartment. We also added coding mutations for Autistic Spectral disorder and Epilepsy collected from publicly available databases.

Finds associations between two human genomic datasets.

This package provides a package for inferring, comparing, and visualizing gene networks from single-cell RNA sequencing data. It integrates multiple methods (GENIE3, GRNBoost2, ZILGM, PCzinb, and JRF) for robust network inference, supports consensus building across methods or datasets, and provides tools for evaluating regulatory structure and community similarity. GRNBoost2 requires Python package arboreto which can be installed using init_py(install_missing = TRUE). This package includes adapted functions from ZILGM (Park et al., 2021), JRF (Petralia et al., 2015), and learn2count (Nguyen et al. 2023) packages with proper attribution under GPL-2 license.

Filtering of lowly expressed features (e.g. genes) is a common step before performing statistical analysis, but an arbitrary threshold is generally chosen. SeqGate implements a method that rationalize this step by the analysis of the distibution of counts in replicate samples. The gate is the threshold above which sequenced features can be considered as confidently quantified.

This package provides a package containing an environment representing the Sugar_Cane.cdf file.

This package enables automated selection of group specific signature, especially for rare population. The package is developed for generating specifc lists of signature genes based on Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) modified methods. It can also be used as a new gene-set scoring method or data transformation method. Multiple visualization functions are implemented in this package.

Method for identification of spatial domains and spatially-aware clustering in spatial transcriptomics data. The method generates spatial domains with smooth boundaries by smoothing gene expression profiles across neighboring spatial locations, followed by unsupervised clustering. Spatial domains consisting of consistent mixtures of cell types may then be further investigated by applying cell type compositional analyses or differential analyses.

This package contains two microarray and two RNA-seq datasets that have been preprocessed for use with the sampleClassifier package. The RNA-seq data are derived from Fagerberg et al.
