features an API for extending these templates to address novel scientific research aims. Full methods for EpiModel
are detailed in Jenness et al. (2018, <doi:10.18637/jss.v084.i08>).
The epistack package main objective is the visualizations of stacks of genomic tracks (such as, but not restricted to, ChIP-seq

coverage or DNA methylation values, provided as a `GRanges` (easily obtained from `bigwig` or `bam` files). 2) a list of feature of interest, such as peaks or transcription start sites, provided as a `GRanges` (easily obtained from `gtf` or `bed` files). 3) a score to sort the features, such as peak height or gene expression value.

Using variational techniques we address some epidemiological problems as the incidence curve decomposition by inverting the renewal equation as described in Alvarez et al. (2021) <doi:10.1073/pnas.2105112118> and Alvarez et al. (2022) <doi:10.3390/biology11040540> or the estimation of the functional relationship between epidemiological indicators. We also propose a learning method for the short time forecast of the trend incidence curve as described in Morel et al. (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.11.05.22281904>.

This package provides a flexible framework for Agent-Based Models (ABM), the epiworldR
package provides methods for prototyping disease outbreaks and transmission models using a C++ backend, making it very fast. It supports multiple epidemiological models, including the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS), Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR), Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR), and others, involving arbitrary mitigation policies and multiple-disease models. Users can specify infectiousness/susceptibility rates as a function of agents features, providing great complexity for the model dynamics. Furthermore, epiworldR
is ideal for simulation studies featuring large populations.
DNA methylation (6mA
) is a major epigenetic process by which alteration in gene expression took place without changing the DNA sequence. Predicting these sites in-vitro is laborious, time consuming as well as costly. This EpiSemble
package is an in-silico pipeline for predicting DNA sequences containing the 6mA
sites. It uses an ensemble-based machine learning approach by combining Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Gradient Boosting approach to predict the sequences with 6mA
sites in it. This package has been developed by using the concept of Chen et al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btz015>.
