This package provides helper functions for working with multiple Visium capture areas that overlap each other. This package was developed along with the companion example use case data available from https://github.com/LieberInstitute/visiumStitched_brain. visiumStitched prepares SpaceRanger (10x Genomics) output files so you can stitch the images from groups of capture areas together with Fiji. Then visiumStitched builds a SpatialExperiment object with the stitched data and makes an artificial hexagonal grid enabling the seamless use of spatial clustering methods that rely on such grid to identify neighboring spots, such as PRECAST and BayesSpace. The SpatialExperiment objects created by visiumStitched are compatible with spatialLIBD, which can be used to build interactive websites for stitched SpatialExperiment objects. visiumStitched also enables casting SpatialExperiment objects as Seurat objects.

The main objective of ViSEAGO package is to carry out a data mining of biological functions and establish links between genes involved in the study. We developed ViSEAGO in R to facilitate functional Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of complex experimental design with multiple comparisons of interest. It allows to study large-scale datasets together and visualize GO profiles to capture biological knowledge. The acronym stands for three major concepts of the analysis: Visualization, Semantic similarity and Enrichment Analysis of Gene Ontology. It provides access to the last current GO annotations, which are retrieved from one of NCBI EntrezGene, Ensembl or Uniprot databases for several species. Using available R packages and novel developments, ViSEAGO extends classical functional GO analysis to focus on functional coherence by aggregating closely related biological themes while studying multiple datasets at once. It provides both a synthetic and detailed view using interactive functionalities respecting the GO graph structure and ensuring functional coherence supplied by semantic similarity. ViSEAGO has been successfully applied on several datasets from different species with a variety of biological questions. Results can be easily shared between bioinformaticians and biologists, enhancing reporting capabilities while maintaining reproducibility.

Mutations that rapidly accumulate in viral genomes during a pandemic can be used to track the evolution of the virus and, accordingly, unravel the viral infection network. To this extent, sequencing samples of the virus can be employed to estimate models from genomic epidemiology and may serve, for instance, to estimate the proportion of undetected infected people by uncovering cryptic transmissions, as well as to predict likely trends in the number of infected, hospitalized, dead and recovered people. VERSO is an algorithmic framework that processes variants profiles from viral samples to produce phylogenetic models of viral evolution. The approach solves a Boolean Matrix Factorization problem with phylogenetic constraints, by maximizing a log-likelihood function. VERSO includes two separate and subsequent steps; in this package we provide an R implementation of VERSO STEP 1.

VeloViz uses each cell’s current observed and predicted future transcriptional states inferred from RNA velocity analysis to build a nearest neighbor graph between cells in the population. Edges are then pruned based on a cosine correlation threshold and/or a distance threshold and the resulting graph is visualized using a force-directed graph layout algorithm. VeloViz can help ensure that relationships between cell states are reflected in the 2D embedding, allowing for more reliable representation of underlying cellular trajectories.

This package provides functions for handling and analyzing immune receptor repertoire data, such as produced by the CellRanger V(D)J pipeline. This includes reading the data into R, merging it with paired single-cell data, quantifying clonotype abundances, calculating diversity metrics, and producing common plots. It implements the E-M Algorithm for clonotype assignment, along with other methods, which makes use of ambiguous cells for improved quantification.

This package provides a fundamental problem in biomedical research is the low number of observations, mostly due to a lack of available biosamples, prohibitive costs, or ethical reasons. By augmenting a few real observations with artificially generated samples, their analysis could lead to more robust and higher reproducible. One possible solution to the problem is the use of generative models, which are statistical models of data that attempt to capture the entire probability distribution from the observations. Using the variational autoencoder (VAE), a well-known deep generative model, this package is aimed to generate samples with gene expression data, especially for single-cell RNA-seq data. Furthermore, the VAE can use conditioning to produce specific cell types or subpopulations. The conditional VAE (CVAE) allows us to create targeted samples rather than completely random ones.

Vulcan (VirtUaL ChIP-Seq Analysis through Networks) is a package that interrogates gene regulatory networks to infer cofactors significantly enriched in a differential binding signature coming from ChIP-Seq data. In order to do so, our package combines strategies from different BioConductor packages: DESeq for data normalization, ChIPpeakAnno and DiffBind for annotation and definition of ChIP-Seq genomic peaks, csaw to define optimal peak width and viper for applying a regulatory network over a differential binding signature.

This package enables the interpretation and analysis of results from a gene set enrichment analysis using network-based and text-mining approaches. Most enrichment analyses result in large lists of significant gene sets that are difficult to interpret. Tools in this package help build a similarity-based network of significant gene sets from a gene set enrichment analysis that can then be investigated for their biological function using text-mining approaches.

This package provides whole-genome mappability tracks on human hg19/hg38 assembly. We employed the 100-mers mappability track from the ENCODE Project and computed weighted average of the mappability scores if multiple ENCODE regions overlap with the same bin. “Blacklist” bins, including segmental duplication regions and gaps in reference assembly from telomere, centromere, and/or heterochromatin regions are included. The dataset consists of three assembled .bam files of single-cell whole genome sequencing from 10X for illustration purposes.

The assembled .bam files of whole exome sequencing data from the 1000 Genomes Project. 46 samples sequenced by the Washington University Genome Sequencing Center are included.

The Well-Plate Maker (WPM) is a shiny application deployed as an R package. Functions for a command-line/script use are also available. The WPM allows users to generate well plate maps to carry out their experiments while improving the handling of batch effects. In particular, it helps controlling the "plate effect" thanks to its ability to randomize samples over multiple well plates. The algorithm for placing the samples is inspired by the backtracking algorithm: the samples are placed at random while respecting specific spatial constraints.

This package provides enhancements on the Sweave() function in the base package. In particular a facility for caching code chunk results is included.
