Computes Multiple Co-Inertia Analysis (MCIA), a dimensionality reduction (jDR) algorithm, for a multi-block dataset using a modification to the Nonlinear Iterative Partial Least Squares method (NIPALS) proposed in (Hanafi et. al, 2010). Allows multiple options for row- and table-level preprocessing, and speeds up computation of variance explained. Vignettes detail application to bulk- and single cell- multi-omics studies.

While some non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are assigned critical regulatory roles, most remain functionally uncharacterized. This presents a challenge whenever an interesting set of ncRNAs needs to be analyzed in a functional context. Transcripts located close-by on the genome are often regulated together. This genomic proximity on the sequence can hint to a functional association. We present a tool, NoRCE, that performs cis enrichment analysis for a given set of ncRNAs. Enrichment is carried out using the functional annotations of the coding genes located proximal to the input ncRNAs. Other biologically relevant information such as topologically associating domain (TAD) boundaries, co-expression patterns, and miRNA target prediction information can be incorporated to conduct a richer enrichment analysis. To this end, NoRCE includes several relevant datasets as part of its data repository, including cell-line specific TAD boundaries, functional gene sets, and expression data for coding & ncRNAs specific to cancer. Additionally, the users can utilize custom data files in their investigation. Enrichment results can be retrieved in a tabular format or visualized in several different ways. NoRCE is currently available for the following species: human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, fruit fly, worm, and yeast.

NxtIRFdata is a companion package for SpliceWiz, an interactive analysis and visualization tool for alternative splicing quantitation (including intron retention) for RNA-seq BAM files. NxtIRFdata contains Mappability files required for the generation of human and mouse references. NxtIRFdata also contains a synthetic genome reference and example BAM files used to demonstrate SpliceWiz's functionality. BAM files are based on 6 samples from the Leucegene dataset provided by NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus under accession number GSE67039.

This package provides datasets for the nullranges package vignette, in particular example datasets for DNase hypersensitivity sites (DHS), CTCF binding sites, and CTCF genomic interactions. These are used to demonstrate generation of null hypothesis feature sets, either through block bootstrapping or matching, in the nullranges vignette. For more details, see the data object man pages, and the R scripts for object construction provided within the package.

This package provides various methods to load the pathways from the NCI Pathways Database in R graph objects and to re-format them.

Nucleolus is an important structure inside the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. It is the site for transcribing rDNA into rRNA and for assembling ribosomes, aka ribosome biogenesis. In addition, nucleoli are dynamic hubs through which numerous proteins shuttle and contact specific non-rDNA genomic loci. Deep sequencing analyses of DNA associated with isolated nucleoli (NAD- seq) have shown that specific loci, termed nucleolus- associated domains (NADs) form frequent three- dimensional associations with nucleoli. NAD-seq has been used to study the biological functions of NAD and the dynamics of NAD distribution during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Here, we developed a Bioconductor package NADfinder for bioinformatic analysis of the NAD-seq data, including baseline correction, smoothing, normalization, peak calling, and annotation.

This package predicts the gene-gene interaction network and identifies the direct transcriptional targets of the perturbation using an ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) based method.

This package was automatically created by package AnnotationForge version 1.11.20. The probe sequence data was obtained from http://www.affymetrix.com.

ncRNAtools provides a set of basic tools for handling and analyzing non-coding RNAs. These include tools to access the RNAcentral database and to predict and visualize the secondary structure of non-coding RNAs. The package also provides tools to read, write and interconvert the file formats most commonly used for representing such secondary structures.

Method for scalable identification of spatially variable genes (SVGs) in spatially-resolved transcriptomics data. The method is based on nearest-neighbor Gaussian processes and uses the BRISC algorithm for model fitting and parameter estimation. Allows identification and ranking of SVGs with flexible length scales across a tissue slide or within spatial domains defined by covariates. Scales linearly with the number of spatial locations and can be applied to datasets containing thousands or more spatial locations.

This package provides tools for NanoString Technologies nCounter Technology. Provides support for reading RCC files into an ExpressionSet derived object. Also includes methods for QC and normalizaztion of NanoString data.

nuCpos, a derivative of NuPoP, is an R package for prediction of nucleosome positions. nuCpos calculates local and whole nucleosomal histone binding affinity (HBA) scores for a given 147-bp sequence. Note: This package was designed to demonstrate the use of chemical maps in prediction. As the parental package NuPoP now provides chemical-map-based prediction, the function for dHMM-based prediction was removed from this package. nuCpos continues to provide functions for HBA calculation.

Nucleosome positioning for Tiling Arrays and NGS experiments.

NetPathMiner is a general framework for network path mining using genome-scale networks. It constructs networks from KGML, SBML and BioPAX files, providing three network representations, metabolic, reaction and gene representations. NetPathMiner finds active paths and applies machine learning methods to summarize found paths for easy interpretation. It also provides static and interactive visualizations of networks and paths to aid manual investigation.

The NetSAM (Network Seriation and Modularization) package takes an edge-list representation of a weighted or unweighted network as an input, performs network seriation and modularization analysis, and generates as files that can be used as an input for the one-dimensional network visualization tool NetGestalt (http://www.netgestalt.org) or other network analysis. The NetSAM package can also generate correlation network (e.g. co-expression network) based on the input matrix data, perform seriation and modularization analysis for the correlation network and calculate the associations between the sample features and modules or identify the associated GO terms for the modules.

NanoMethViz is a toolkit for visualising methylation data from Oxford Nanopore sequencing. It can be used to explore methylation patterns from reads derived from Oxford Nanopore direct DNA sequencing with methylation called by callers including nanopolish, f5c and megalodon.

Package nethet is an implementation of statistical solid methodology enabling the analysis of network heterogeneity from high-dimensional data. It combines several implementations of recent statistical innovations useful for estimation and comparison of networks in a heterogeneous, high-dimensional setting. In particular, we provide code for formal two-sample testing in Gaussian graphical models (differential network and GGM-GSA; Stadler and Mukherjee, 2013, 2014) and make a novel network-based clustering algorithm available (mixed graphical lasso, Stadler and Mukherjee, 2013).

This package provides a model for semi-supervised prioritisation of genes integrating network data, phenotypes and additional prior knowledge about TP and TN gene labels from the literature or experts.

Precise measurements are important for epigenome-wide studies investigating DNA methylation in whole blood samples, where effect sizes are expected to be small in magnitude. The 450K platform is often affected by batch effects and proper preprocessing is recommended. This package provides functions to read and normalize 450K .idat files. The normalization corrects for dye bias and biases related to signal intensity and methylation of probes using local regression. No adjustment for probe type bias is performed to avoid the trade-off of precision for accuracy of beta-values.
