Biological molecules in a living organism seldom work individually. They usually interact each other in a cooperative way. Biological process is too complicated to understand without considering such interactions. Thus, network-based procedures can be seen as powerful methods for studying complex process. However, many methods are devised for analyzing individual genes. It is said that techniques based on biological networks such as gene co-expression are more precise ways to represent information than those using lists of genes only. This package is aimed to integrate the gene expression and biological network. A biological network is constructed from gene expression data and it is used for Gene Set Enrichment Analysis.

Visualization of next generation sequencing (NGS) data is essential for interpreting high-throughput genomics experiment results. GenomicPlot facilitates plotting of NGS data in various formats (bam, bed, wig and bigwig); both coverage and enrichment over input can be computed and displayed with respect to genomic features (such as UTR, CDS, enhancer), and user defined genomic loci or regions. Statistical tests on signal intensity within user defined regions of interest can be performed and represented as boxplots or bar graphs. Parallel processing is used to speed up computation on multicore platforms. In addition to genomic plots which is suitable for displaying of coverage of genomic DNA (such as ChIPseq data), metagenomic (without introns) plots can also be made for RNAseq or CLIPseq data as well.

The package geneplast.data.string.v91 contains input data used in the analysis pipelines available in the geneplast package.

GEOfastq is used to download fastq files from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) starting with an accession from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To do this, sample metadata is retrieved from GEO and the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). SRA run accessions are then used to construct FTP and aspera download links for fastq files generated by the ENA.

We presented the Genotype-imputed Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GIGSEA), a novel method that uses GWAS-and-eQTL-imputed trait-associated differential gene expression to interrogate gene set enrichment for the trait-associated SNPs. By incorporating eQTL from large gene expression studies, e.g. GTEx, GIGSEA appropriately addresses such challenges for SNP enrichment as gene size, gene boundary, SNP distal regulation, and multiple-marker regulation. The weighted linear regression model, taking as weights both imputation accuracy and model completeness, was used to perform the enrichment test, properly adjusting the bias due to redundancy in different gene sets. The permutation test, furthermore, is used to evaluate the significance of enrichment, whose efficiency can be largely elevated by expressing the computational intensive part in terms of large matrix operation. We have shown the appropriate type I error rates for GIGSEA (<5%), and the preliminary results also demonstrate its good performance to uncover the real signal.

This package provides a multi-objective optimization algorithm for disease sub-type discovery based on a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. The Galgo framework combines the advantages of clustering algorithms for grouping heterogeneous omics data and the searching properties of genetic algorithms for feature selection. The algorithm search for the optimal number of clusters determination considering the features that maximize the survival difference between sub-types while keeping cluster consistency high.

Simulated expression data for five large Gene Regulatory Networks from different simulators.

The GENESIS package provides methodology for estimating, inferring, and accounting for population and pedigree structure in genetic analyses. The current implementation provides functions to perform PC-AiR (Conomos et al., 2015, Gen Epi) and PC-Relate (Conomos et al., 2016, AJHG). PC-AiR performs a Principal Components Analysis on genome-wide SNP data for the detection of population structure in a sample that may contain known or cryptic relatedness. Unlike standard PCA, PC-AiR accounts for relatedness in the sample to provide accurate ancestry inference that is not confounded by family structure. PC-Relate uses ancestry representative principal components to adjust for population structure/ancestry and accurately estimate measures of recent genetic relatedness such as kinship coefficients, IBD sharing probabilities, and inbreeding coefficients. Additionally, functions are provided to perform efficient variance component estimation and mixed model association testing for both quantitative and binary phenotypes.

This package provides functions for fitting GPA, a statistical framework to prioritize GWAS results by integrating pleiotropy information and annotation data. In addition, it also includes ShinyGPA, an interactive visualization toolkit to investigate pleiotropic architecture.

GSNAP and GMAP are a pair of tools to align short-read data written by Tom Wu. This package provides convenience methods to work with GMAP and GSNAP from within R. In addition, it provides methods to tally alignment results on a per-nucleotide basis using the bam_tally tool.

Appliation for discovering direct or indirect targets of transcription factors using ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq, and microarray or RNA-seq gene expression data. Inputting a list of genes of potential targets of one TF from ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq, and the gene expression results, GeneNetworkBuilder generates a regulatory network of the TF.

GenomicTuples defines general purpose containers for storing genomic tuples. It aims to provide functionality for tuples of genomic co-ordinates that are analogous to those available for genomic ranges in the GenomicRanges Bioconductor package.

The GSRI package estimates the number of differentially expressed genes in gene sets, utilizing the concept of the Gene Set Regulation Index (GSRI).

Genetic variants associated with diseases often affect non-coding regions, thus likely having a regulatory role. To understand the effects of genetic variants in these regulatory regions, identifying genes that are modulated by specific regulatory elements (REs) is crucial. The effect of gene regulatory elements, such as enhancers, is often cell-type specific, likely because the combinations of transcription factors (TFs) that are regulating a given enhancer have cell-type specific activity. This TF activity can be quantified with existing tools such as diffTF and captures differences in binding of a TF in open chromatin regions. Collectively, this forms a gene regulatory network (GRN) with cell-type and data-specific TF-RE and RE-gene links. Here, we reconstruct such a GRN using single-cell or bulk RNAseq and open chromatin (e.g., using ATACseq or ChIPseq for open chromatin marks) and optionally (Capture) Hi-C data. Our network contains different types of links, connecting TFs to regulatory elements, the latter of which is connected to genes in the vicinity or within the same chromatin domain (TAD). We use a statistical framework to assign empirical FDRs and weights to all links using a permutation-based approach.

Geneplast is designed for evolutionary and plasticity analysis based on orthologous groups distribution in a given species tree. It uses Shannon information theory and orthologs abundance to estimate the Evolutionary Plasticity Index. Additionally, it implements the Bridge algorithm to determine the evolutionary root of a given gene based on its orthologs distribution.

This package provides a package with focus on analysis of discrete regions of the genome. This package is useful for investigation of one or a few genes using Affymetrix data, since it will extract probe level data using the Affymetrix Power Tools application and wrap these data into a ProbeLevelSet. A ProbeLevelSet directly extends the expressionSet, but includes additional information about the sequence of each probe and the probe set it is derived from. The package includes a number of functions used for plotting these probe level data as a function of location along sequences of mRNA-strands. This can be used for analysis of variable splicing, and is especially well suited for use with exon-array data.
