The DaMiRseq package offers a tidy pipeline of data mining procedures to identify transcriptional biomarkers and exploit them for both binary and multi-class classification purposes. The package accepts any kind of data presented as a table of raw counts and allows including both continous and factorial variables that occur with the experimental setting. A series of functions enable the user to clean up the data by filtering genomic features and samples, to adjust data by identifying and removing the unwanted source of variation (i.e. batches and confounding factors) and to select the best predictors for modeling. Finally, a "stacking" ensemble learning technique is applied to build a robust classification model. Every step includes a checkpoint that the user may exploit to assess the effects of data management by looking at diagnostic plots, such as clustering and heatmaps, RLE boxplots, MDS or correlation plot.

DuplexDiscovereR is a package designed for analyzing data from RNA cross-linking and proximity ligation protocols such as SPLASH, PARIS, LIGR-seq, and others. DuplexDiscovereR accepts input in the form of chimerically or split-aligned reads. It includes procedures for alignment classification, filtering, and efficient clustering of individual chimeric reads into duplex groups (DGs). Once DGs are identified, the package predicts RNA duplex formation and their hybridization energies. Additional metrics, such as p-values for random ligation hypothesis or mean DG alignment scores, can be calculated to rank final set of RNA duplexes. Data from multiple experiments or replicates can be processed separately and further compared to check the reproducibility of the experimental method.

DEqMS is developped on top of Limma. However, Limma assumes same prior variance for all genes. In proteomics, the accuracy of protein abundance estimates varies by the number of peptides/PSMs quantified in both label-free and labelled data. Proteins quantification by multiple peptides or PSMs are more accurate. DEqMS package is able to estimate different prior variances for proteins quantified by different number of PSMs/peptides, therefore acchieving better accuracy. The package can be applied to analyze both label-free and labelled proteomics data.

dominoSignal is a package developed to analyze cell signaling through ligand - receptor - transcription factor networks in scRNAseq data. It takes as input information transcriptomic data, requiring counts, z-scored counts, and cluster labels, as well as information on transcription factor activation (such as from SCENIC) and a database of ligand and receptor pairings (such as from CellPhoneDB). This package creates an object storing ligand - receptor - transcription factor linkages by cluster and provides several methods for exploring, summarizing, and visualizing the analysis.

This package reproduces the main pipeline to analyze the AMC-AJCCII-90 microarray data set in De Sousa et al. accepted by Nature Medicine in 2013.

This package detects significant differentially methylated regions (for both qualitative and quantitative traits), using a scan statistic with underlying Poisson heuristics. The scan statistic will depend on a sequence of window sizes (# of CpGs within each window) and on a threshold for each window size. This threshold can be calculated by three different means: i) analytically using Siegmund et.al (2012) solution (preferred), ii) an important sampling as suggested by Zhang (2008), and a iii) full MCMC modeling of the data, choosing between a number of different options for modeling the dependency between each CpG.

This package provides a package containing an environment representing the DrosGenome1.CDF file.

This package contains the data for the paper by L. David et al. in PNAS 2006 (PMID 16569694): 8 CEL files of Affymetrix genechips, an ExpressionSet object with the raw feature data, a probe annotation data structure for the chip and the yeast genome annotation (GFF file) that was used. In addition, some custom-written analysis functions are provided, as well as R scripts in the scripts directory.

Given a set of clustering labels, Dune merges pairs of clusters to increase mean ARI between labels, improving replicability.

Many two-colour hybridizations suffer from a dye bias that is both gene-specific and slide-specific. The former depends on the content of the nucleotide used for labeling; the latter depends on the labeling percentage. The slide-dependency was hitherto not recognized, and made addressing the artefact impossible. Given a reasonable number of dye-swapped pairs of hybridizations, or of same vs. same hybridizations, both the gene- and slide-biases can be estimated and corrected using the GASSCO method (Margaritis et al., Mol. Sys. Biol. 5:266 (2009), doi:10.1038/msb.2009.21).

This package provides methods to detect the differential composition abundances between conditions in singel-cell RNA-seq experiments, with or without replicates. It aims to correct bias introduced by missclaisification and enable controlling of confounding covariates. To avoid the influence of proportion change from big cell types, DCATS can use either total cell number or specific reference group as normalization term.

DoReMiTra is an R data package providing access to curated transcriptomic datasets related to blood radiation, with a focus on neutron, x-ray, and gamma ray studies.

The Delta-Delta-Ct (ddCt) Algorithm is an approximation method to determine relative gene expression with quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments. Compared to other approaches, it requires no standard curve for each primer-target pair, therefore reducing the working load and yet returning accurate enough results as long as the assumptions of the amplification efficiency hold. The ddCt package implements a pipeline to collect, analyse and visualize qRT-PCR results, for example those from TaqMan SDM software, mainly using the ddCt method. The pipeline can be either invoked by a script in command-line or through the API consisting of S4-Classes, methods and functions.

Identifying distinct subpopulations through multiscale time series analysis.

The dks package consists of a set of diagnostic functions for multiple testing methods. The functions can be used to determine if the p-values produced by a multiple testing procedure are correct. These functions are designed to be applied to simulated data. The functions require the entire set of p-values from multiple simulated studies, so that the joint distribution can be evaluated.

This package discovers meso-scale chromatin remodelling from 3C data. 3C data is local in nature. It givens interaction counts between restriction enzyme digestion fragments and a preferred viewpoint region. By binning this data and using permutation testing, this package can test whether there are statistically significant changes in the interaction counts between the data from two cell types or two treatments.

Data package which provides default disease expression profiles, clusters and annotation information for use with the DrugVsDisease package.

Recent advances in single cell/nucleus transcriptomic technology has enabled collection of cohort-scale datasets to study cell type specific gene expression differences associated disease state, stimulus, and genetic regulation. The scale of these data, complex study designs, and low read count per cell mean that characterizing cell type specific molecular mechanisms requires a user-frieldly, purpose-build analytical framework. We have developed the dreamlet package that applies a pseudobulk approach and fits a regression model for each gene and cell cluster to test differential expression across individuals associated with a trait of interest. Use of precision-weighted linear mixed models enables accounting for repeated measures study designs, high dimensional batch effects, and varying sequencing depth or observed cells per biosample.
