RegulonDB has collected, harmonized and centralized data from hundreds of experiments for nearly two decades and is considered a point of reference for transcriptional regulation in Escherichia coli K12. Here, we present the regutools R package to facilitate programmatic access to RegulonDB data in computational biology. regutools provides researchers with the possibility of writing reproducible workflows with automated queries to RegulonDB. The regutools package serves as a bridge between RegulonDB data and the Bioconductor ecosystem by reusing the data structures and statistical methods powered by other Bioconductor packages. We demonstrate the integration of regutools with Bioconductor by analyzing transcription factor DNA binding sites and transcriptional regulatory networks from RegulonDB. We anticipate that regutools will serve as a useful building block in our progress to further our understanding of gene regulatory networks.

RTNduals identifies co-regulatory loops between pairs of regulons inferred by the RTN package by evaluating their shared target genes. It infers dual regulons and tests whether regulator pairs exhibit cooperative or competitive influences on common targets.

This package provides functions to summarize DNA methylation data using regional principal components. Regional principal components are computed using principal components analysis within genomic regions to summarize the variability in methylation levels across CpGs. The number of principal components is chosen using either the Marcenko-Pasteur or Gavish-Donoho method to identify relevant signal in the data.

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.

Combine ideas of log-linear analysis of contingency table, flexible response function estimation and empirical Bayes dispersion estimation for explorative visualization of microbiome datasets. The package includes unconstrained as well as constrained analysis. In addition, diagnostic plot to detect lack of fit are available.

Microarray Classification is designed for both biologists and statisticians. It offers the ability to train a classifier on a labelled microarray dataset and to then use that classifier to predict the class of new observations. A range of modern classifiers are available, including support vector machines (SVMs), nearest shrunken centroids (NSCs)... Advanced methods are provided to estimate the predictive error rate and to report the subset of genes which appear essential in discriminating between classes.

rifi analyses data from rifampicin time series created by microarray or RNAseq. rifi is a transcriptome data analysis tool for the holistic identification of transcription and decay associated processes. The decay constants and the delay of the onset of decay is fitted for each probe/bin. Subsequently, probes/bins of equal properties are combined into segments by dynamic programming, independent of a existing genome annotation. This allows to detect transcript segments of different stability or transcriptional events within one annotated gene. In addition to the classic decay constant/half-life analysis, rifi detects processing sites, transcription pausing sites, internal transcription start sites in operons, sites of partial transcription termination in operons, identifies areas of likely transcriptional interference by the collision mechanism and gives an estimate of the transcription velocity. All data are integrated to give an estimate of continous transcriptional units, i.e. operons. Comprehensive output tables and visualizations of the full genome result and the individual fits for all probes/bins are produced.

RolDE detects longitudinal differential expression between two conditions in noisy high-troughput data. Suitable even for data with a moderate amount of missing values.RolDE is a composite method, consisting of three independent modules with different approaches to detecting longitudinal differential expression. The combination of these diverse modules allows RolDE to robustly detect varying differences in longitudinal trends and expression levels in diverse data types and experimental settings.

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>.

This package provides a programmatic interface to the Semantic MEDLINE database. It provides functions for searching the database for concepts and finding paths between concepts. Path searching can also be tailored to user specifications, such as placing restrictions on concept types and the type of link between concepts. It also provides functions for summarizing and visualizing those paths.

This package provides a complete toolset for methylome-wide association studies (MWAS). It is specifically designed for data from enrichment based methylation assays, but can be applied to other data as well. The analysis pipeline includes seven steps: (1) scanning aligned reads from BAM files, (2) calculation of quality control measures, (3) creation of methylation score (coverage) matrix, (4) principal component analysis for capturing batch effects and detection of outliers, (5) association analysis with respect to phenotypes of interest while correcting for top PCs and known covariates, (6) annotation of significant findings, and (7) multi-marker analysis (methylation risk score) using elastic net. Additionally, RaMWAS include tools for joint analysis of methlyation and genotype data. This work is published in Bioinformatics, Shabalin et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bty069>.

RNAmodR.AlkAnilineSeq implements the detection of m7G, m3C and D modifications on RNA from experimental data generated with the AlkAnilineSeq protocol. The package builds on the core functionality of the RNAmodR package to detect specific patterns of the modifications in high throughput sequencing data.

This package provides a transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) consists of a collection of transcription factors (TFs) and the regulated target genes. TFs are regulators that recognize specific DNA sequences and guide the expression of the genome, either activating or repressing the expression the target genes. The set of genes controlled by the same TF forms a regulon. This package provides classes and methods for the reconstruction of TRNs and analysis of regulons.
