GlycoTraitR is an R package for analyzing glycoproteomics data, particularly glycopeptide-spectrum matches (GPSMs). It supports results generated by the pGlyco3 and Glyco-Decipher search engines. The package parses glycan structures, computes monosaccharide compositions and structural traits, and performs differential analysis of glycan heterogeneity. It constructs trait-by-PSM matrices stored in a SummarizedExperiment object, supports user-defined structural motifs, and provides visualization utilities for interpreting glycan trait changes.

The NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) represents the largest public repository of microarray data. However, finding data of interest can be challenging using current tools. GEOmetadb is an attempt to make access to the metadata associated with samples, platforms, and datasets much more feasible. This is accomplished by parsing all the NCBI GEO metadata into a SQLite database that can be stored and queried locally. GEOmetadb is simply a thin wrapper around the SQLite database along with associated documentation. Finally, the SQLite database is updated regularly as new data is added to GEO and can be downloaded at will for the most up-to-date metadata.

The package is a part of the gDR suite. It helps to prepare raw drug response data for downstream processing. It mainly contains helper functions for importing/loading/validating dose-response data provided in different file formats.

Cluster genes to functional groups with E-M process. Iteratively perform TF assigning and Gene assigning, until the assignment of genes did not change, or max number of iterations is reached.

Detect Differential Clustering of Genomic Sites such as gene therapy integrations. The package provides some functions for exploring genomic insertion sites originating from two different sources. Possibly, the two sources are two different gene therapy vectors. Vectors are preferred that target sensitive regions less frequently, motivating the search for localized clusters of insertions and comparison of the clusters formed by integration of different vectors. Scan statistics allow the discovery of spatial differences in clustering and calculation of False Discovery Rates (FDRs) providing statistical methods for comparing retroviral vectors. A scan statistic for comparing two vectors using multiple window widths to detect clustering differentials and compute FDRs is implemented here.

Identification of the most likely gene or genes through which variation at a given genomic locus in the human genome acts. The most basic functionality assumes that the closer gene is to the input locus, the more likely the gene is to be causative. Additionally, any empirical data that links genomic regions to genes (e.g. eQTL or genome conformation data) can be used if it is supplied in the UCSC .BED file format.

This package provides functions and data used in Balasubramanian, et al. (2004).

The GenomicInteractionNodes package can import interactions from bedpe file and define the interaction nodes, the genomic interaction sites with multiple interaction loops. The interaction nodes is a binding platform regulates one or multiple genes. The detected interaction nodes will be annotated for downstream validation.

This package implements inferential methods to compare gene lists in terms of their biological meaning as expressed in the GO. The compared gene lists are characterized by cross-tabulation frequency tables of enriched GO items. Dissimilarity between gene lists is evaluated using the Sorensen-Dice index. The fundamental guiding principle is that two gene lists are taken as similar if they share a great proportion of common enriched GO items.

This package contains a targeted clustering algorithm for the analysis of microarray data. The algorithm can aid in the discovery of new genes with similar functions to a given list of genes already known to have closely related functions.

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 packages aims for easy accessible application of classifiers which have been published in literature using an ExpressionSet as input.

This package provides tools for NanoString Technologies GeoMx Technology. Package provides functions for reading in DCC and PKC files based on an ExpressionSet derived object. Normalization and QC functions are also included.

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.

geneXtendeR optimizes the functional annotation of ChIP-seq peaks by exploring relative differences in annotating ChIP-seq peak sets to variable-length gene bodies. In contrast to prior techniques, geneXtendeR considers peak annotations beyond just the closest gene, allowing users to see peak summary statistics for the first-closest gene, second-closest gene, ..., n-closest gene whilst ranking the output according to biologically relevant events and iteratively comparing the fidelity of peak-to-gene overlap across a user-defined range of upstream and downstream extensions on the original boundaries of each gene's coordinates. Since different ChIP-seq peak callers produce different differentially enriched peaks with a large variance in peak length distribution and total peak count, annotating peak lists with their nearest genes can often be a noisy process. As such, the goal of geneXtendeR is to robustly link differentially enriched peaks with their respective genes, thereby aiding experimental follow-up and validation in designing primers for a set of prospective gene candidates during qPCR.

R package with internal dose-response test data. Package provides functions to generate input testing data that can be used as the input for gDR pipeline. It also contains qs2 files with MAE data processed by gDR.

Gene selection based on a mixture of marginal distributions.

The package provides different distances measurements to calculate the difference between genesets. Based on these scores the genesets are clustered and visualized as graph. This is all presented in an interactive Shiny application for easy usage.

The GSEABenchmarkeR package implements an extendable framework for reproducible evaluation of set- and network-based methods for enrichment analysis of gene expression data. This includes support for the efficient execution of these methods on comprehensive real data compendia (microarray and RNA-seq) using parallel computation on standard workstations and institutional computer grids. Methods can then be assessed with respect to runtime, statistical significance, and relevance of the results for the phenotypes investigated.

GraphExperiment provides users and developers with an S4 class that extends `SingleCellExperiment` by offering infrastructure to store and retrieve networks (`igraph` objects) representing how assay features and/or observations are associated with each other. The class was designed to store networks inferred from high-dimensional quantitative data, with feature-feature networks including gene coexpression networks (GCNs), gene regulatory networks (GRNs), and co-abundance networks (from proteomics and metabolomics), and observation-observation network including cell-cell distances, species-species relationships, and sample-sample similarities.

GSCA takes as input several lists of activated and repressed genes. GSCA then searches through a compendium of publicly available gene expression profiles for biological contexts that are enriched with a specified pattern of gene expression. GSCA provides both traditional R functions and interactive, user-friendly user interface.
