This package implements algorithms and data structures for performing gene expression signature (GES) searches, and subsequently interpreting the results functionally with specialized enrichment methods.

Spaniel includes a series of tools to aid the quality control and analysis of Spatial Transcriptomics data. Spaniel can import data from either the original Spatial Transcriptomics system or 10X Visium technology. The package contains functions to create a SingleCellExperiment Seurat object and provides a method of loading a histologial image into R. The spanielPlot function allows visualisation of metrics contained within the S4 object overlaid onto the image of the tissue.

svaRetro contains functions for detecting retrotransposed transcripts (RTs) from structural variant calls. It takes structural variant calls in GRanges of breakend notation and identifies RTs by exon-exon junctions and insertion sites. The candidate RTs are reported by events and annotated with information of the inserted transcripts.

Scale4C is an R/Bioconductor package for scale-space transformation and visualization of 4C-seq data. The scale-space transformation is a multi-scale visualization technique to transform a 2D signal (e.g. 4C-seq reads on a genomic interval of choice) into a tesselation in the scale space (2D, genomic position x scale factor) by applying different smoothing kernels (Gauss, with increasing sigma). This transformation allows for explorative analysis and comparisons of the data's structure with other samples.

The data objects provided in this package has been pre-processed: the raw data files can be downloaded from ArrayExpress under the accession identifiers E-MTAB-3346 and E-MTAB-3624. The vignette of this data package provides a documented and reproducible workflow that includes the code that was used to generate each statistic and figure from the manuscript.

Expression profiling using microarray technology to prove if Hypoxia Promotes Efficient Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Functional Endothelium by Prado-Lopez et al. (2010) Stem Cells 28:407-418. Full data available at Gene Expression Omnibus series GSE37761.

The signeR package provides an empirical Bayesian approach to mutational signature discovery. It is designed to analyze single nucleotide variation (SNV) counts in cancer genomes, but can also be applied to other features as well. Functionalities to characterize signatures or genome samples according to exposure patterns are also provided.

This package contains the Summix2 method for estimating and adjusting for substructure in genetic summary allele frequency data. The function summix() estimates reference group proportions using a mixture model. The adjAF() function produces adjusted allele frequencies for an observed group with reference group proportions matching a target individual or sample. The summix_local() function estimates local ancestry mixture proportions and performs selection scans in genetic summary data.

CMAP/LINCS hdf5 databases and other annotations used for signatureSearch software package.

Channel interference in mass cytometry can cause spillover and may result in miscounting of protein markers. We develop a nonparametric finite mixture model and use the mixture components to estimate the probability of spillover. We implement our method using expectation-maximization to fit the mixture model.

This package provides a package to suggest the number of mutational signatures in a collection of somatic mutations using calculating the cross-validated perplexity score.

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.

High-throughput sequencing technologies allow the production of large volumes of short sequences, which can be aligned to the genome to create a set of matches to the genome. By looking for regions of the genome which to which there are high densities of matches, we can infer a segmentation of the genome into regions of biological significance. The methods in this package allow the simultaneous segmentation of data from multiple samples, taking into account replicate data, in order to create a consensus segmentation. This has obvious applications in a number of classes of sequencing experiments, particularly in the discovery of small RNA loci and novel mRNA transcriptome discovery.

An example cancer whole genome sequencing data for the SomatiCA package.

Spatially-aware quality control (QC) software for both spot-level and artifact-level QC in spot-based spatial transcripomics, such as 10x Visium. These methods calculate local (nearest-neighbors) mean and variance of standard QC metrics (library size, unique genes, and mitochondrial percentage) to identify outliers spot and large technical artifacts.

The SeqSQC is designed to identify problematic samples in NGS data, including samples with gender mismatch, contamination, cryptic relatedness, and population outlier.

This package provides a tool for unsupervised clustering and analysis of single cell RNA-Seq data.

The package uses exogenous enzyme imprinted information to map protein-DNA binding on individual sequenced DNA molecules. For example, GpC methyltransferase, CpG methyltransferase, and Adenine methyltransferases. Public datasets from such assays are compiled into tracks, and hosted at public servers like Galaxy for their seamless access by this package.

This package provides a toolbox for sparse contrastive principal component analysis (scPCA) of high-dimensional biological data. scPCA combines the stability and interpretability of sparse PCA with contrastive PCA's ability to disentangle biological signal from unwanted variation through the use of control data. Also implements and extends cPCA.

High-throughput single-cell measurements of DNA methylomes can quantify methylation heterogeneity and uncover its role in gene regulation. However, technical limitations and sparse coverage can preclude this task. scMET is a hierarchical Bayesian model which overcomes sparsity, sharing information across cells and genomic features to robustly quantify genuine biological heterogeneity. scMET can identify highly variable features that drive epigenetic heterogeneity, and perform differential methylation and variability analyses. We illustrate how scMET facilitates the characterization of epigenetically distinct cell populations and how it enables the formulation of novel hypotheses on the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

The scRNAseqApp is a Shiny app package designed for interactive visualization of single-cell data. It is an enhanced version derived from the ShinyCell, repackaged to accommodate multiple datasets. The app enables users to visualize data containing various types of information simultaneously, facilitating comprehensive analysis. Additionally, it includes a user management system to regulate database accessibility for different users.

standR is an user-friendly R package providing functions to assist conducting good-practice analysis of Nanostring's GeoMX DSP data. All functions in the package are built based on the SpatialExperiment object, allowing integration into various spatial transcriptomics-related packages from Bioconductor. standR allows data inspection, quality control, normalization, batch correction and evaluation with informative visualizations.

seqsetvis enables the visualization and analysis of sets of genomic sites in next gen sequencing data. Although seqsetvis was designed for the comparison of mulitple ChIP-seq samples, this package is domain-agnostic and allows the processing of multiple genomic coordinate files (bed-like files) and signal files (bigwig files pileups from bam file). seqsetvis has multiple functions for fetching data from regions into a tidy format for analysis in data.table or tidyverse and visualization via ggplot2.
