RLassoCox is a package that implements the RLasso-Cox model proposed by Wei Liu. The RLasso-Cox model integrates gene interaction information into the Lasso-Cox model for accurate survival prediction and survival biomarker discovery. It is based on the hypothesis that topologically important genes in the gene interaction network tend to have stable expression changes. The RLasso-Cox model uses random walk to evaluate the topological weight of genes, and then highlights topologically important genes to improve the generalization ability of the Lasso-Cox model. The RLasso-Cox model has the advantage of identifying small gene sets with high prognostic performance on independent datasets, which may play an important role in identifying robust survival biomarkers for various cancer types.

Create, handle, validate, visualize and convert networks in the Cytoscape exchange (CX) format to standard data types and objects. The package also provides conversion to and from objects of iGraph and graphNEL. The CX format is also used by the NDEx platform, a online commons for biological networks, and the network visualization software Cytocape.

This package provides a novel clustering algorithm and toolkit RCSL (Rank Constrained Similarity Learning) to accurately identify various cell types using scRNA-seq data from a complex tissue. RCSL considers both lo-cal similarity and global similarity among the cells to discern the subtle differences among cells of the same type as well as larger differences among cells of different types. RCSL uses Spearman’s rank correlations of a cell’s expression vector with those of other cells to measure its global similar-ity, and adaptively learns neighbour representation of a cell as its local similarity. The overall similar-ity of a cell to other cells is a linear combination of its global similarity and local similarity.

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.

Haplotype simulations of rare variant genetic data that emulates real data can be performed with RAREsim. RAREsim uses the expected number of variants in MAC bins - either as provided by default parameters or estimated from target data - and an abundance of rare variants as simulated HAPGEN2 to probabilistically prune variants. RAREsim produces haplotypes that emulate real sequencing data with respect to the total number of variants, allele frequency spectrum, haplotype structure, and variant annotation.

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>.

ROSeq - A rank based approach to modeling gene expression with filtered and normalized read count matrix. ROSeq takes filtered and normalized read matrix and cell-annotation/condition as input and determines the differentially expressed genes between the contrasting groups of single cells. One of the input parameters is the number of cores to be used.

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.

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.

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 selects genes associated with survival.

This package provides a comprehensive pipeline for analyzing and interactively visualizing genomic profiles generated through commercial or custom aCGH arrays. As inputs, rCGH supports Agilent dual-color Feature Extraction files (.txt), from 44 to 400K, Affymetrix SNP6.0 and cytoScanHD probeset.txt, cychp.txt, and cnchp.txt files exported from ChAS or Affymetrix Power Tools. rCGH also supports custom arrays, provided data complies with the expected format. This package takes over all the steps required for individual genomic profiles analysis, from reading files to profiles segmentation and gene annotations. This package also provides several visualization functions (static or interactive) which facilitate individual profiles interpretation. Input files can be in compressed format, e.g. .bz2 or .gz.

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.
