DEsubs is a network-based systems biology package that extracts disease-perturbed subpathways within a pathway network as recorded by RNA-seq experiments. It contains an extensive and customizable framework covering a broad range of operation modes at all stages of the subpathway analysis, enabling a case-specific approach. The operation modes refer to the pathway network construction and processing, the subpathway extraction, visualization and enrichment analysis with regard to various biological and pharmacological features. Its capabilities render it a tool-guide for both the modeler and experimentalist for the identification of more robust systems-level biomarkers for complex diseases.

dandelionR is an R package for performing single-cell immune repertoire trajectory analysis, based on the original python implementation. It provides the necessary functions to interface with scRepertoire and a custom implementation of an absorbing Markov chain for pseudotime inference, inspired by the Palantir Python package.

The package allows one to obtain optimised combinations of DNA barcodes to be used for multiplex sequencing. In each barcode combination, barcodes are pooled with respect to Illumina chemistry constraints. Combinations can be filtered to keep those that are robust against substitution and insertion/deletion errors thereby facilitating the demultiplexing step. In addition, the package provides an optimiser function to further favor the selection of barcode combinations with least heterogeneity in barcode usage.

DNAfusion can identify gene fusions such as EML4-ALK based on paired-end sequencing results. This package was developed using position deduplicated BAM files generated with the AVENIO Oncology Analysis Software. These files are made using the AVENIO ctDNA surveillance kit and Illumina Nextseq 500 sequencing. This is a targeted hybridization NGS approach and includes ALK-specific but not EML4-specific probes.

This package predicts a drug’s primary target(s) or secondary target(s) by integrating large-scale genetic and drug screens from the Cancer Dependency Map project run by the Broad Institute. It further investigates whether the drug specifically targets the wild-type or mutated target forms. To show how to use this package in practice, we provided sample data along with step-by-step example.

The functions support identification and annotation of hotspot residues in proteins. These are individual amino acids that accumulate mutations at a much higher rate than their surrounding regions.

This package contains the data for the paper by L. David et al. in PNAS 2006 (PMID 16569694): 8 CEL files of Affymetrix genechips, an ExpressionSet object with the raw feature data, a probe annotation data structure for the chip and the yeast genome annotation (GFF file) that was used. In addition, some custom-written analysis functions are provided, as well as R scripts in the scripts directory.

This package provides utilities for identifying drug-target interactions for sets of small molecule or gene/protein identifiers. The required drug-target interaction information is obained from a local SQLite instance of the ChEMBL database. ChEMBL has been chosen for this purpose, because it provides one of the most comprehensive and best annotatated knowledge resources for drug-target information available in the public domain.

The DNEA R package is the latest implementation of the Differential Network Enrichment Analysis algorithm and is the successor to the Filigree Java-application described in Iyer et al. (2020). The package is designed to take as input an m x n expression matrix for some -omics modality (ie. metabolomics, lipidomics, proteomics, etc.) and jointly estimate the biological network associations of each condition using the DNEA algorithm described in Ma et al. (2019). This approach provides a framework for data-driven enrichment analysis across two experimental conditions that utilizes the underlying correlation structure of the data to determine feature-feature interactions.

DoReMiTra is an R data package providing access to curated transcriptomic datasets related to blood radiation, with a focus on neutron, x-ray, and gamma ray studies. It is designed to facilitate radiation biology research and support data exploration and reproducibility in radiation transcriptomics. All datasets are provided as SummarizedExperiment objects, allowing seamless integration with the Bioconductor ecosystem.

Duplication rate quality control for RNA-Seq datasets.

This package performs degradation normalization in bulk RNA-seq data to improve differential expression analysis accuracy. It provides estimates for each gene within each sample.

dinoR tests for significant differences in NOMe-seq footprints between two conditions, using genomic regions of interest (ROI) centered around a landmark, for example a transcription factor (TF) motif. This package takes NOMe-seq data (GCH methylation/protection) in the form of a Ranged Summarized Experiment as input. dinoR can be used to group sequencing fragments into 3 or 5 categories representing characteristic footprints (TF bound, nculeosome bound, open chromatin), plot the percentage of fragments in each category in a heatmap, or averaged across different ROI groups, for example, containing a common TF motif. It is designed to compare footprints between two sample groups, using edgeR's quasi-likelihood methods on the total fragment counts per ROI, sample, and footprint category.

This package implements a DelayedArray of random values where the realization of the sampled values is delayed until they are needed. Reproducible sampling within any subarray is achieved by chunking where each chunk is initialized with a different random seed and stream. The usual distributions in the stats package are supported, along with scalar, vector and arrays for the parameters.

DoRothEA is a gene regulatory network containing signed transcription factor (TF) - target gene interactions. DoRothEA regulons, the collection of a TF and its transcriptional targets, were curated and collected from different types of evidence for both human and mouse. A confidence level was assigned to each TF-target interaction based on the number of supporting evidence.

data and software for checking Dressman JCO 25(5) 2007.

This package assists in demultiplexing scRNAseq data using both cell hashing and SNPs data. The SNP profile of each group os learned using high confidence assignments from the cell hashing data. Cells which cannot be assigned with high confidence from the cell hashing data are assigned to their most similar group based on their SNPs. We also provide some helper function to optimise SNP selection, create training data and merge SNP data into the SingleCellExperiment framework.

This package detects significant differentially methylated regions (for both qualitative and quantitative traits), using a scan statistic with underlying Poisson heuristics. The scan statistic will depend on a sequence of window sizes (# of CpGs within each window) and on a threshold for each window size. This threshold can be calculated by three different means: i) analytically using Siegmund et.al (2012) solution (preferred), ii) an important sampling as suggested by Zhang (2008), and a iii) full MCMC modeling of the data, choosing between a number of different options for modeling the dependency between each CpG.

Bioinformatics platform containing interactive plots and tables for differential gene and region expression studies. Allows visualizing expression data much more deeply in an interactive and faster way. By changing the parameters, users can easily discover different parts of the data that like never have been done before. Manually creating and looking these plots takes time. With DEBrowser users can prepare plots without writing any code. Differential expression, PCA and clustering analysis are made on site and the results are shown in various plots such as scatter, bar, box, volcano, ma plots and Heatmaps.

DepInfeR integrates two experimentally accessible input data matrices: the drug sensitivity profiles of cancer cell lines or primary tumors ex-vivo (X), and the drug affinities of a set of proteins (Y), to infer a matrix of molecular protein dependencies of the cancers (ß). DepInfeR deconvolutes the protein inhibition effect on the viability phenotype by using regularized multivariate linear regression. It assigns a “dependence coefficient” to each protein and each sample, and therefore could be used to gain a causal and accurate understanding of functional consequences of genomic aberrations in a heterogeneous disease, as well as to guide the choice of pharmacological intervention for a specific cancer type, sub-type, or an individual patient. For more information, please read out preprint on bioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.01.11.475864.

This package provides an integrated analysis workflow for robust and reproducible analysis of mass spectrometry proteomics data for differential protein expression or differential enrichment. It requires tabular input (e.g. txt files) as generated by quantitative analysis softwares of raw mass spectrometry data, such as MaxQuant or IsobarQuant. Functions are provided for data preparation, filtering, variance normalization and imputation of missing values, as well as statistical testing of differentially enriched / expressed proteins. It also includes tools to check intermediate steps in the workflow, such as normalization and missing values imputation. Finally, visualization tools are provided to explore the results, including heatmap, volcano plot and barplot representations. For scientists with limited experience in R, the package also contains wrapper functions that entail the complete analysis workflow and generate a report. Even easier to use are the interactive Shiny apps that are provided by the package.

doubletrouble aims to identify duplicated genes from whole-genome protein sequences and classify them based on their modes of duplication. The duplication modes are i. segmental duplication (SD); ii. tandem duplication (TD); iii. proximal duplication (PD); iv. transposed duplication (TRD) and; v. dispersed duplication (DD). Transposon-derived duplicates (TRD) can be further subdivided into rTRD (retrotransposon-derived duplication) and dTRD (DNA transposon-derived duplication). If users want a simpler classification scheme, duplicates can also be classified into SD- and SSD-derived (small-scale duplication) gene pairs. Besides classifying gene pairs, users can also classify genes, so that each gene is assigned a unique mode of duplication. Users can also calculate substitution rates per substitution site (i.e., Ka and Ks) from duplicate pairs, find peaks in Ks distributions with Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs), and classify gene pairs into age groups based on Ks peaks.

DEWSeq is a sliding window approach for the analysis of differentially enriched binding regions eCLIP or iCLIP next generation sequencing data.
