This package provides utilities to re-use content across chapters of a Bioconductor book. This is mostly based on functionality developed while writing the OSCA book, but generalized for potential use in other large books with heavy compute. Also contains some functions to assist book deployment.

RNAeditr analyzes site-specific RNA editing events, as well as hyper-editing regions. The editing frequencies can be tested against binary, continuous or survival outcomes. Multiple covariate variables as well as interaction effects can also be incorporated in the statistical models.

Agilent Chips that use Agilent design number 028282 annotation data (chip RnAgilentDesign028282) assembled using data from public repositories.

Rare Variant Sharing (RVS) implements tests of association and linkage between rare genetic variant genotypes and a dichotomous phenotype, e.g. a disease status, in family samples. The tests are based on probabilities of rare variant sharing by relatives under the null hypothesis of absence of linkage and association between the rare variants and the phenotype and apply to single variants or multiple variants in a region (e.g. gene-based test).

This package provides a package containing an environment representing the RAE230B.CDF file.

Based on external numerous data files where rfPred scores are pre-calculated on all genomic positions of the human exome, the package gives rfPred scores to missense variants identified by the chromosome, the position (hg19 version), the referent and alternative nucleotids and the uniprot identifier of the protein. Note that for using the package, the user has to download the TabixFile and index (approximately 3.3 Go).

Affymetrix ragene21 annotation data (chip ragene21stprobeset) assembled using data from public repositories.

This package wraps the functionality of the Thermo Fisher Scientic RawFileReader .NET 8.0 assembly. Within the R environment, spectra and chromatograms are represented by S3 objects. The package provides basic functions to download and install the required third-party libraries. The package is developed, tested, and used at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich, Switzerland.

Package provides clinical datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas Project for all cohorts types from http://gdac.broadinstitute.org/. Clinical data format is explained here https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/TCGA/Clinical+Data+Overview. Data from 2015-11-01 snapshot.

This package is a pipeline to identify the key gene regulators in a biological process, for example in cell differentiation and in cell development after stimulation. There are four major steps in this pipeline: (1) differential expression analysis; (2) regulator-target network inference; (3) enrichment analysis; and (4) regulators scoring and ranking.

This package was automatically created by package AnnotationForge version 1.11.21. The probe sequence data was obtained from http://www.affymetrix.com. The file name was RG-U34C\_probe\_tab.

The package is the R-version of the C-based software \boldCASPAR (Kaderali,2006: \urlhttp://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/22/12/1495). It is meant to help predict survival times in the presence of high-dimensional explanatory covariates. The model is a piecewise baseline hazard Cox regression model with an Lq-norm based prior that selects for the most important regression coefficients, and in turn the most relevant covariates for survival analysis. It was primarily tried on gene expression and aCGH data, but can be used on any other type of high-dimensional data and in disciplines other than biology and medicine.

Mass cytometry enables the simultaneous measurement of dozens of protein markers at the single-cell level, producing high dimensional datasets that provide deep insights into cellular heterogeneity and function. However, these datasets often contain unwanted covariance introduced by technical variations, such as differences in cell size, staining efficiency, and instrument-specific artifacts, which can obscure biological signals and complicate downstream analysis. This package addresses this challenge by implementing a robust framework of linear models designed to identify and remove these sources of unwanted covariance. By systematically modeling and correcting for technical noise, the package enhances the quality and interpretability of mass cytometry data, enabling researchers to focus on biologically relevant signals.

The R implementation for the Grammar of Succint Lipid Nomenclature parses different short hand notation dialects for lipid names. It normalizes them to a standard name. It further provides calculated monoisotopic masses and sum formulas for each successfully parsed lipid name and supplements it with LIPID MAPS Category and Class information. Also, the structural level and further structural details about the head group, fatty acyls and functional groups are returned, where applicable.

The IGVF Catalog provides data on the impact of genomic variants on function. The `rigvf` package provides an interface to the IGVF Catalog, allowing easy integration with Bioconductor resources.

SCUDO (Signature-based Clustering for Diagnostic Purposes) is a rank-based method for the analysis of gene expression profiles for diagnostic and classification purposes. It is based on the identification of sample-specific gene signatures composed of the most up- and down-regulated genes for that sample. Starting from gene expression data, functions in this package identify sample-specific gene signatures and use them to build a graph of samples. In this graph samples are joined by edges if they have a similar expression profile, according to a pre-computed similarity matrix. The similarity between the expression profiles of two samples is computed using a method similar to GSEA. The graph of samples can then be used to perform community clustering or to perform supervised classification of samples in a testing set.

Codelink Rat Whole Genome Bioarray (~34 000 rat gene targets) annotation data (chip rwgcod) assembled using data from public repositories.

RNAmodR provides classes and workflows for loading/aggregation data from high througput sequencing aimed at detecting post-transcriptional modifications through analysis of specific patterns. In addition, utilities are provided to validate and visualize the results. The RNAmodR package provides a core functionality from which specific analysis strategies can be easily implemented as a seperate package.

An implementation of a probabilistic modeling framework that jointly analyzes personal genome and transcriptome data to estimate the probability that a variant has regulatory impact in that individual. It is based on a generative model that assumes that genomic annotations, such as the location of a variant with respect to regulatory elements, determine the prior probability that variant is a functional regulatory variant, which is an unobserved variable. The functional regulatory variant status then influences whether nearby genes are likely to display outlier levels of gene expression in that person. See the RIVER website for more information, documentation and examples.

The recount3 package enables access to a large amount of uniformly processed RNA-seq data from human and mouse. You can download RangedSummarizedExperiment objects at the gene, exon or exon-exon junctions level with sample metadata and QC statistics. In addition we provide access to sample coverage BigWig files.

The Zarr specification defines a format for chunked, compressed, N-dimensional arrays. It's design allows efficient access to subsets of the stored array, and supports both local and cloud storage systems. Rarr aims to implement this specification in R with minimal reliance on an external tools or libraries.

The package is aimed at inference on the amount of agreement in two sorted lists using the Rank-Rank Hypergeometric Overlap test.

Despite the recent advances of modern GWAS methods, it still remains an important problem of addressing calculation an effect size and corresponding p-value for the whole gene rather than for single variant. The R- package rqt offers gene-level GWAS meta-analysis. For more information, see: "Gene-set association tests for next-generation sequencing data" by Lee et al (2016), Bioinformatics, 32(17), i611-i619, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw429>.

The ReactomeGSA packages uses Reactome's online analysis service to perform a multi-omics gene set analysis. The main advantage of this package is, that the retrieved results can be visualized using REACTOME's powerful webapplication. Since Reactome's analysis service also uses R to perfrom the actual gene set analysis you will get similar results when using the same packages (such as limma and edgeR) locally. Therefore, if you only require a gene set analysis, different packages are more suited.
