Many methods allow us to extract biological activities from omics data using information from prior knowledge resources, reducing the dimensionality for increased statistical power and better interpretability. decoupleR is a Bioconductor package containing different statistical methods to extract these signatures within a unified framework. decoupleR allows the user to flexibly test any method with any resource. It incorporates methods that take into account the sign and weight of network interactions. decoupleR can be used with any omic, as long as its features can be linked to a biological process based on prior knowledge. For example, in transcriptomics gene sets regulated by a transcription factor, or in phospho-proteomics phosphosites that are targeted by a kinase.

This package provides full genome sequences for Homo sapiens (Human) as provided by UCSC (hg19, Feb. 2009) and stored in Biostrings objects. The sequences are the same as in BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19, except that each of them has the 4 following masks on top: (1) the mask of assembly gaps (AGAPS mask), (2) the mask of intra-contig ambiguities (AMB mask), (3) the mask of repeats from RepeatMasker (RM mask), and (4) the mask of repeats from Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF mask). Only the AGAPS and AMB masks are "active" by default.

The motifStack package is designed for graphic representation of multiple motifs with different similarity scores. It works with both DNA/RNA sequence motifs and amino acid sequence motifs. In addition, it provides the flexibility for users to customize the graphic parameters such as the font type and symbol colors.

This package loads a TxDb object, which is an R interface to prefabricated databases contained in this package. This package provides the TxDb object of Mouse data as provided by UCSC (mm10, December 2011) based on the knownGene track.

iClusterPlus is developed for integrative clustering analysis of multi-type genomic data and is an enhanced version of iCluster proposed and developed by Shen, Olshen and Ladanyi (2009). Multi-type genomic data arise from the experiments where biological samples (e.g. tumor samples) are analyzed by multiple techniques, for instance, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), gene expression microarray, RNA-seq and DNA-seq, and so on. In the iClusterPlus model, binary observations such as somatic mutation are modeled as Binomial processes; categorical observations such as copy number states are realizations of Multinomial random variables; counts are modeled as Poisson random processes; and continuous measures are modeled by Gaussian distributions.

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.

This is the human disease ontology R package HDO.db, which provides the semantic relationship between human diseases. Relying on the DOSE and GOSemSim packages, this package can carry out disease enrichment and semantic similarity analyses. Many biological studies are achieved through mouse models, and a large number of data indicate the association between genotypes and phenotypes or diseases. The study of model organisms can be transformed into useful knowledge about normal human biology and disease to facilitate treatment and early screening for diseases. Organism-specific genotype-phenotypic associations can be applied to cross-species phenotypic studies to clarify previously unknown phenotypic connections in other species. Using the same principle to diseases can identify genetic associations and even help to identify disease associations that are not obvious.

This is a package that can be used for quality control of Affymetrix GeneChip expression data and reproducibility analysis of human whole genome chips with the MAQC reference datasets.

Explore, diagnose, and compare variant calls using filters. The VariantTools package supports a workflow for loading data, calling single sample variants and tumor-specific somatic mutations or other sample-specific variant types (e.g., RNA editing). Most of the functions operate on alignments (BAM files) or datasets of called variants. The user is expected to have already aligned the reads with a separate tool, e.g., GSNAP via gmapR.

This package provides dataset samples (Affymetrix: Expression, Gene, Exon, SNP; NimbleGen: Expression, Tiling) to be used with the oligo package.

This package provides a set of tools and methods for making and manipulating transcript centric annotations. With these tools the user can easily download the genomic locations of the transcripts, exons and cds of a given organism, from either the UCSC Genome Browser or a BioMart database (more sources will be supported in the future). This information is then stored in a local database that keeps track of the relationship between transcripts, exons, cds and genes. Flexible methods are provided for extracting the desired features in a convenient format.

This package provides functions for reading array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data from image analysis output files and clone information files, creation of aCGH objects for storing these data. Basic methods are accessing/replacing, subsetting, printing and plotting aCGH objects.

This package provides generic functions for interacting with the AnVIL system. Packages that use either GCP or Azure in AnVIL are built on top of AnVILBase. Extension packages will provide methods for interacting with other cloud providers.

This package provides flexible, quantitative, and integrative genomic visualizations for publication-quality multi-panel figures.

BioQC performs quality control of high-throughput expression data based on tissue gene signatures. It can detect tissue heterogeneity in gene expression data. The core algorithm is a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test that is optimised for high performance.

This package provides standard formatting styles for Bioconductor PDF and HTML documents. Package vignettes illustrate use and functionality.

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 lower-level functionality to interface with Google Cloud Platform tools. gcloud and gsutil are both supported. The functionality provided centers around utilities for the AnVIL platform.

This package creates a persistent on-disk cache of files that the user can add, update, and retrieve. It is useful for managing resources (such as custom Txdb objects) that are costly or difficult to create, web resources, and data files used across sessions.

This package provides R functions for common pre-processing steps that are applied on 1H-NMR data. It also provides a function to read the FID signals directly in the Bruker format.

This package provides a method to purify a cell type or cell population of interest from heterogeneous datasets. scGate package automatizes marker-based purification of specific cell populations, without requiring training data or reference gene expression profiles. scGate takes as input a gene expression matrix stored in a Seurat object and a GM, consisting of a set of marker genes that define the cell population of interest. It evaluates the strength of signature marker expression in each cell using the rank-based method UCell, and then performs kNN smoothing by calculating the mean UCell score across neighboring cells. kNN-smoothing aims at compensating for the large degree of sparsity in scRNAseq data. Finally, a universal threshold over kNN-smoothed signature scores is applied in binary decision trees generated from the user-provided gating model, to annotate cells as either “pure” or “impure”, with respect to the cell population of interest.

This package provides S4 generic functions needed by many Bioconductor packages.
