BASiCS is an integrated Bayesian hierarchical model to perform statistical analyses of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets in the context of supervised experiments (where the groups of cells of interest are known a priori. BASiCS performs built-in data normalisation (global scaling) and technical noise quantification (based on spike-in genes). BASiCS provides an intuitive detection criterion for highly (or lowly) variable genes within a single group of cells. Additionally, BASiCS can compare gene expression patterns between two or more pre-specified groups of cells.

This package provides efficient low-level and highly reusable S4 classes for storing ranges of integers, RLE vectors (Run-Length Encoding), and, more generally, data that can be organized sequentially (formally defined as Vector objects), as well as views on these Vector objects. Efficient list-like classes are also provided for storing big collections of instances of the basic classes. All classes in the package use consistent naming and share the same rich and consistent "Vector API" as much as possible.

This package provides a set of tools for making TxDb objects from genomic annotations from various sources (e.g. UCSC, Ensembl, and GFF files). These tools allow the user to download the genomic locations of transcripts, exons, and CDS, for a given assembly, and to import them in a TxDb object. TxDb objects are implemented in the GenomicFeatures package, together with flexible methods for extracting the desired features in convenient formats.

This is a package providing tools to quantify and interpret multiple sources of biological and technical variation in gene expression experiments.

The package includes dream differential expression analysis for repeated measures.

This is an R package to make it easier to import and store phylogenetic trees with associated data; and to link external data from different sources to phylogeny. It also supports exporting phylogenetic trees with heterogeneous associated data to a single tree file and can be served as a platform for merging tree with associated data and converting file formats.

This package provides tools to efficiently represent and manipulate genomic annotations and alignments is playing a central role when it comes to analyzing high-throughput sequencing data (a.k.a. NGS data). The GenomicRanges package defines general purpose containers for storing and manipulating genomic intervals and variables defined along a genome.

This package provides mass-spectrometry based spatial proteomics data sets and protein complex separation data. It also contains the time course expression experiment from Mulvey et al. (2015).

BadRegionFinder is a package for identifying regions with a bad, acceptable and good coverage in sequence alignment data available as bam files. The whole genome may be considered as well as a set of target regions. Various visual and textual types of output are available.

Enriched heatmap is a special type of heatmap which visualizes the enrichment of genomic signals on specific target regions. This type of heatmap is just a normal heatmap but with some special settings, with the functionality of ComplexHeatmap, it would be much easier to customize the heatmap as well as concatenating to a list of heatmaps to show correspondence between different data sources.

biomaRt provides an interface to a growing collection of databases implementing the http://www.biomart.org. The package enables retrieval of large amounts of data in a uniform way without the need to know the underlying database schemas or write complex SQL queries. Examples of BioMart databases are Ensembl, COSMIC, Uniprot, HGNC, Gramene, Wormbase and dbSNP mapped to Ensembl. These major databases give biomaRt users direct access to a diverse set of data and enable a wide range of powerful online queries from gene annotation to database mining.

Skeletal myoblasts undergo a well-characterized sequence of morphological and transcriptional changes during differentiation. In this experiment, primary human skeletal muscle myoblasts (HSMM) were expanded under high mitogen conditions (GM) and then differentiated by switching to low-mitogen media (DM). RNA-Seq libraries were sequenced from each of several hundred cells taken over a time-course of serum-induced differentiation. Between 49 and 77 cells were captured at each of four time points (0, 24, 48, 72 hours) following serum switch using the Fluidigm C1 microfluidic system. RNA from each cell was isolated and used to construct mRNA-Seq libraries, which were then sequenced to a depth of ~4 million reads per library, resulting in a complete gene expression profile for each cell.

This package provides an implementation of the BRGE's (Bioinformatic Research Group in Epidemiology from Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology) MultiDataSet and ResultSet. MultiDataSet is designed for integrating multi omics data sets and ResultSet is a container for omics results. This package contains base classes for MEAL and rexposome packages.

This is an annotation package for Illumina's EPIC v2.0 methylation arrays. The version 2 covers more than 935K CpG sites in the human genome hg38. It is an update of the original EPIC v1.0 array (i.e., the 850K methylation array).

MMUPHin is an R package for meta-analysis tasks of microbiome cohorts. It has function interfaces for:

• covariate-controlled batch- and cohort effect adjustment;

• meta-analysis differential abundance testing;

• meta-analysis unsupervised discrete structure (clustering) discovery;

• meta-analysis unsupervised continuous structure discovery.

This is a package for saving SummarizedExperiments into file artifacts, and loading them back into memory. This is a more portable alternative to serialization of such objects into RDS files. Each artifact is associated with metadata for further interpretation; downstream applications can enrich this metadata with context-specific properties.

The polyester package simulates RNA-seq reads from differential expression experiments with replicates. The reads can then be aligned and used to perform comparisons of methods for differential expression.

The package provides functionality that can be useful for the analysis of the high-density tiling microarray data (such as from Affymetrix genechips) or for measuring the transcript abundance and the architecture. The main functionalities of the package are:

1. the class segmentation for representing partitionings of a linear series of data;

2. the function segment for fitting piecewise constant models using a dynamic programming algorithm that is both fast and exact;

3. the function confint for calculating confidence intervals using the strucchange package;

4. the function plotAlongChrom for generating pretty plots;

5. the function normalizeByReference for probe-sequence dependent response adjustment from a (set of) reference hybridizations.

This package provides the data for the gene expression enrichment analysis conducted in the package ABAEnrichment. The package includes three datasets which are derived from the Allen Brain Atlas:

1. Gene expression data from Human Brain (adults) averaged across donors,

2. Gene expression data from the Developing Human Brain pooled into five age categories and averaged across donors, and

3. a developmental effect score based on the Developing Human Brain expression data.

All datasets are restricted to protein coding genes.

The semantic comparisons of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations provide quantitative ways to compute similarities between genes and gene groups, and have became important basis for many bioinformatics analysis approaches. GOSemSim is an R package for semantic similarity computation among GO terms, sets of GO terms, gene products and gene clusters.

This package provides statistical tests for label-free LC-MS/MS data by spectral counts, to discover differentially expressed proteins between two biological conditions. Three tests are available: Poisson GLM regression, quasi-likelihood GLM regression, and the negative binomial of the edgeR package. The three models admit blocking factors to control for nuisance variables. To assure a good level of reproducibility a post-test filter is available, where we may set the minimum effect size considered biologicaly relevant, and the minimum expression of the most abundant condition.

This package provides a collection of reference expression datasets with curated cell type labels, for use in procedures like automated annotation of single-cell data or deconvolution of bulk RNA-seq.

This package provides a consistent C++ class interface for a variety of commonly used matrix types, including sparse and HDF5-backed matrices.
