Furthermore, OmnipathR features a close integration with the NicheNet method for ligand activity prediction from transcriptomics data.

This package comprises a set of pretrained machine learning models to predict basic immune cell types. This enables to quickly get a first annotation of the cell types present in the dataset without requiring prior knowledge. The package also lets you train using own models to predict new cell types based on specific research needs.

This package supports the computation of an F-test for the association between expression values and clinical entities. In many cases a two way layout with gene and a dichotomous group as factors will be considered. However, adjustment for other covariates and the analysis of arbitrary clinical variables, interactions, gene co-expression, time series data and so on is also possible. The test is carried out by comparison of corresponding linear models via the extra sum of squares principle.

This package provides a flexible representation of copy number, mutation, and other data that fit into the ragged array schema for genomic location data. The basic representation of such data provides a rectangular flat table interface to the user with range information in the rows and samples/specimen in the columns. The RaggedExperiment class derives from a GRangesList representation and provides a semblance of a rectangular dataset.

This package provides a simple interface to and data from the Human Protein Atlas project.

The MBECS provides a set of functions to evaluate and mitigate unwated noise due to processing in batches. To that end it incorporates a host of batch correcting algorithms (BECA) from various packages. In addition it offers a correction and reporting pipeline that provides a preliminary look at the characteristics of a data-set before and after correcting for batch effects.

This package stores all schemas required by various alabaster.* packages. No computation should be performed by this package, as that is handled by alabaster.base.

BiocSet displays different biological sets in a triple tibble format. These three tibbles are element, set, and elementset. The user has the ability to activate one of these three tibbles to perform common functions from the dplyr package. Mapping functionality and accessing web references for elements/sets are also available in BiocSet.

This package provides tools to import transcript-level abundance, estimated counts and transcript lengths, and to summarize them into matrices for use with downstream gene-level analysis packages. Average transcript length, weighted by sample-specific transcript abundance estimates, is provided as a matrix which can be used as an offset for different expression of gene-level counts.

This package provides statistical methods for differential discovery analyses in high-dimensional cytometry data (including flow cytometry, mass cytometry or CyTOF, and oligonucleotide-tagged cytometry), based on a combination of high-resolution clustering and empirical Bayes moderated tests adapted from transcriptomics.

MetagenomeSeq is designed to determine features (be it OTU, species, etc.) that are differentially abundant between two or more groups of multiple samples. This package is designed to address the effects of both normalization and under-sampling of microbial communities on disease association detection and the testing of feature correlations.

This package provides a parser for mzIdentML files implemented using the XML package. The parser tries to be general and able to handle all types of mzIdentML files with the drawback of having less pretty output than a vendor specific parser.

This package provides publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) as MultiAssayExperiment objects. MultiAssayExperiment integrates multiple assays (e.g., RNA-seq, copy number, mutation, microRNA, protein, and others) with clinical / pathological data. It also links assay barcodes with patient identifiers, enabling harmonized subsetting of rows (features) and columns (patients / samples) across the entire multi-'omics experiment.

This package uses the source code of zlib-1.2.5 to create libraries for systems that do not have these available via other means.

This package implements a variety of methods for combining p-values in differential analyses of genome-scale datasets. Functions can combine p-values across different tests in the same analysis (e.g., genomic windows in ChIP-seq, exons in RNA-seq) or for corresponding tests across separate analyses (e.g., replicated comparisons, effect of different treatment conditions). Support is provided for handling log-transformed input p-values, missing values and weighting where appropriate.

Animalcules is an R package for utilizing up-to-date data analytics, visualization methods, and machine learning models to provide users an easy-to-use interactive microbiome analysis framework. It can be used as a standalone software package or users can explore their data with the accompanying interactive R Shiny application. Traditional microbiome analysis such as alpha/beta diversity and differential abundance analysis are enhanced, while new methods like biomarker identification are introduced by animalcules. Powerful interactive and dynamic figures generated by animalcules enable users to understand their data better and discover new insights.

This package implements exact and approximate methods for nearest neighbor detection, in a framework that allows them to be easily switched within Bioconductor packages or workflows. The exact algorithm is implemented using pre-clustering with the k-means algorithm. Functions are also provided to search for all neighbors within a given distance. Parallelization is achieved for all methods using the BiocParallel framework.

The differences in the RNA types being sequenced have an impact on the resulting sequencing profiles. mRNA-seq data is enriched with reads derived from exons, while GRO-, nucRNA- and chrRNA-seq demonstrate a substantial broader coverage of both exonic and intronic regions. The presence of intronic reads in GRO-seq type of data makes it possible to use it to computationally identify and quantify all de novo continuous regions of transcription distributed across the genome. This type of data, however, is more challenging to interpret and less common practice compared to mRNA-seq. One of the challenges for primary transcript detection concerns the simultaneous transcription of closely spaced genes, which needs to be properly divided into individually transcribed units. The R package transcriptR combines RNA-seq data with ChIP-seq data of histone modifications that mark active Transcription Start Sites (TSSs), such as, H3K4me3 or H3K9/14Ac to overcome this challenge. The advantage of this approach over the use of, for example, gene annotations is that this approach is data driven and therefore able to deal also with novel and case specific events.

This package provides a GUI for analysis of Affymetrix microarray gene expression data using the affy and limma packages.

The purpose of biocViews is to create HTML pages that categorize packages in a Bioconductor package repository according to keywords, also known as views, in a controlled vocabulary.

Logistic Factor Analysis (LFA) is a method for a PCA analogue on Binomial data via estimation of latent structure in the natural parameter.

This package implements a general and flexible zero-inflated negative binomial model that can be used to provide a low-dimensional representations of single-cell RNA-seq data. The model accounts for zero inflation (dropouts), over-dispersion, and the count nature of the data. The model also accounts for the difference in library sizes and optionally for batch effects and/or other covariates, avoiding the need for pre-normalize the data.
