Cell differentiation processes are achieved through a continuum of hierarchical intermediate cell-states that might be captured by single-cell RNA seq. Existing computational approaches for the assessment of cell-state hierarchies from single-cell data might be formalized under a general workflow composed of i) a metric to assess cell-to-cell similarities (combined or not with a dimensionality reduction step), and ii) a graph-building algorithm (optionally making use of a cells-clustering step). Sincell R package implements a methodological toolbox allowing flexible workflows under such framework. Furthermore, Sincell contributes new algorithms to provide cell-state hierarchies with statistical support while accounting for stochastic factors in single-cell RNA seq. Graphical representations and functional association tests are provided to interpret hierarchies.

SpotClean is a computational method to adjust for spot swapping in spatial transcriptomics data. Recent spatial transcriptomics experiments utilize slides containing thousands of spots with spot-specific barcodes that bind mRNA. Ideally, unique molecular identifiers at a spot measure spot-specific expression, but this is often not the case due to bleed from nearby spots, an artifact we refer to as spot swapping. SpotClean is able to estimate the contamination rate in observed data and decontaminate the spot swapping effect, thus increase the sensitivity and precision of downstream analyses.

This package provides a Grammar-based Toolkit for Scalable and Interactive Genomics Data Visualization. http://gosling-lang.org/. This R package is based on gosling.js. It uses R functions to create gosling plots that could be embedded onto R Shiny apps.

This package provides methods to efficiently detect competitive endogeneous RNA interactions between two genes. Such interactions are mediated by one or several miRNAs such that both gene and miRNA expression data for a larger number of samples is needed as input. The SPONGE package now also includes spongEffects: ceRNA modules offer patient-specific insights into the miRNA regulatory landscape.

scFeatures constructs multi-view representations of single-cell and spatial data. scFeatures is a tool that generates multi-view representations of single-cell and spatial data through the construction of a total of 17 feature types. These features can then be used for a variety of analyses using other software in Biocondutor.

slalom is a scalable modelling framework for single-cell RNA-seq data that uses gene set annotations to dissect single-cell transcriptome heterogeneity, thereby allowing to identify biological drivers of cell-to-cell variability and model confounding factors. The method uses Bayesian factor analysis with a latent variable model to identify active pathways (selected by the user, e.g. KEGG pathways) that explain variation in a single-cell RNA-seq dataset. This an R/C++ implementation of the f-scLVM Python package. See the publication describing the method at https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-017-1334-8.

This package provides useful functions for visualizing virus reassortment events.

This package provides a novel feature selection algorithm for binary classification using support vector machine recursive feature elimination SVM-RFE and t-statistic. In this feature selection process, the selected features are differentially significant between the two classes and also they are good classifier with higher degree of classification accuracy.

Spatial transcriptomic technologies have helped to resolve the connection between gene expression and the 2D orientation of tissues relative to each other. However, the limited single-cell resolution makes it difficult to highlight the most important molecular interactions in these tissues. SpaceMarkers, R/Bioconductor software, can help to find molecular interactions, by identifying genes associated with latent space interactions in spatial transcriptomics.

stJoincount facilitates the application of join count analysis to spatial transcriptomic data generated from the 10x Genomics Visium platform. This tool first converts a labeled spatial tissue map into a raster object, in which each spatial feature is represented by a pixel coded by label assignment. This process includes automatic calculation of optimal raster resolution and extent for the sample. A neighbors list is then created from the rasterized sample, in which adjacent and diagonal neighbors for each pixel are identified. After adding binary spatial weights to the neighbors list, a multi-categorical join count analysis is performed to tabulate "joins" between all possible combinations of label pairs. The function returns the observed join counts, the expected count under conditions of spatial randomness, and the variance calculated under non-free sampling. The z-score is then calculated as the difference between observed and expected counts, divided by the square root of the variance.

The scECODA R package provides a complete workflow for the analysis and visualization of compositional data, primarily focusing on cell type proportions derived from single-cell data. It implements specialized methods, such as the Centered Log-Ratio (CLR) transformation, to properly analyze proportional data while avoiding the biases introduced by the compositional constraint. The package encapsulates data management, transformation, and analysis into a single SummarizedExperiment object, offering downstream tools for dimensionality reduction via PCA, calculating critical metrics like the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and Modularity to quantify sample grouping quality, and generating high-quality visualizations like heatmaps and scatter plots.

This package performs a gene expression data analysis to detect condition-specific genes. Such genes are significantly up- or down-regulated in a small number of conditions. It does so by fitting a mixture of normal distributions to the expression values. Conditions can be environmental conditions, different tissues, organs or any other sources that you wish to compare in terms of gene expression.

Read in imaging-based spatial transcriptomics technology data. Current available modules are for Xenium by 10X Genomics, CosMx by Nanostring, MERSCOPE by Vizgen, or STARmapPLUS from Broad Institute. You can choose to read the data in as a SpatialExperiment or a SingleCellExperiment object.

This package does k-nearest neighbor based statistics and visualizations with flow and mass cytometery data. This gives tSNE maps"fold change" functionality and provides a data quality metric by assessing manifold overlap between fcs files expected to be the same. Other applications using this package include imputation, marker redundancy, and testing the relative information loss of lower dimension embeddings compared to the original manifold.

The scDiagnostics package provides diagnostic plots to assess the quality of cell type assignments from single cell gene expression profiles. The implemented functionality allows to assess the reliability of cell type annotations, investigate gene expression patterns, and explore relationships between different cell types in query and reference datasets allowing users to detect potential misalignments between reference and query datasets. The package also provides visualization capabilities for diagnostics purposes.

Extends the Seurat classes and functions to support Genomic Data Structure (GDS) files as a DelayedArray backend for data representation. It relies on the implementation of GDS-based DelayedMatrix in the SCArray package to represent single cell RNA-seq data. The common optimized algorithms leveraging GDS-based and single cell-specific DelayedMatrix (SC_GDSMatrix) are implemented in the SCArray package. SCArray.sat introduces a new SCArrayAssay class (derived from the Seurat Assay), which wraps raw counts, normalized expressions and scaled data matrix based on GDS-specific DelayedMatrix. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Seurat package to provide common data analysis in the SeuratObject-based workflow. Compared with Seurat, SCArray.sat significantly reduces the memory usage without downsampling and can be applied to very large datasets.

This packages provides a flexible, fast and accurate method for targeted pre-processing of GC-MS data.
