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.

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.

# NetActivity enables to compute gene set scores from previously trained sparsely-connected autoencoders. The package contains a function to prepare the data (`prepareSummarizedExperiment`) and a function to compute the gene set scores (`computeGeneSetScores`). The package `NetActivityData` contains different pre-trained models to be directly applied to the data. Alternatively, the users might use the package to compute gene set scores using custom models.

Modular package for generation of sets of ranges representing the null hypothesis. These can take the form of bootstrap samples of ranges (using the block bootstrap framework of Bickel et al 2010), or sets of control ranges that are matched across one or more covariates. nullranges is designed to be inter-operable with other packages for analysis of genomic overlap enrichment, including the plyranges Bioconductor package.

This package can generate a synthetic map with reads covering the nucleosome regions as well as a synthetic map with forward and reverse reads emulating next-generation sequencing. The synthetic hybridization data of “Tiling Arrays” can also be generated. The user has choice between three different distributions for the read positioning: Normal, Student and Uniform. In addition, a visualization tool is provided to explore the synthetic nucleosome maps.

This package provides example one-dimensional proton NMR spectra of murine urine samples collected before and after bariatric or sham surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). The data are adapted from Jia V Li et al. (2011), "Metabolic surgery profoundly influences gut microbial-host metabolic cross-talk", Gut, 60(9), 1214–1223. <doi:10.1136/gut.2010.234708>. This package serves as example data for metabolomics analysis and teaching purposes.

The purpose of ncGTW is to help XCMS for LC-MS data alignment. Currently, ncGTW can detect the misaligned feature groups by XCMS, and the user can choose to realign these feature groups by ncGTW or not.

This package provides functions for the selection of optimal reference genes and the normalisation of real-time quantitative PCR data.

This package provides pathways from the NCI Pathways Database as R graph objects.

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.

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.

This package provides a model designed for dimensionality reduction and batch effect removal for scRNA-seq data. It is designed to be massively parallelizable using shared objects that prevent memory duplication, and it can be used with different mini-batch approaches in order to reduce time consumption. It assumes a negative binomial distribution for the data with a dispersion parameter that can be both commonwise across gene both genewise.

Nucleosome positioning for Tiling Arrays and NGS experiments.

This package provides a package containing an environment representing the NuGO_Hs1a520180.cdf file.

This package provides methods and object classes for parsing FastQC reports and output summaries from other NGS tools into R. As well as parsing files, multiple plotting methods have been implemented for visualising the parsed data. Plots can be generated as static ggplot objects or interactive plotly objects.

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.

This package allows to detect and correct for spatial and intensity biases with two-channel microarray data. The normalization method implemented in this package is based on robust neural networks fitting.
