New Software Packages

There are 133 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

• airpart Airpart identifies sets of genes displaying differential cell-type-specific allelic imbalance across cell types or states, utilizing single-cell allelic counts. It makes use of a generalized fused lasso with binomial observations of allelic counts to partition cell types by their allelic imbalance. Alternatively, a nonparametric method for partitioning cell types is offered. The package includes a number of visualizations and quality control functions for examining single cell allelic imbalance datasets.

• autonomics This package offers a generic and intuitive solution for cross-platform omics data analysis. It has functions for import, preprocessing, exploration, contrast analysis and visualization of omics data. It follows a tidy, functional programming paradigm.

• awst We propose an Asymmetric Within-Sample Transformation (AWST) to regularize RNA-seq read counts and reduce the effect of noise on the classification of samples. AWST comprises two main steps: standardization and smoothing. These steps transform gene expression data to reduce the noise of the lowly expressed features, which suffer from background effects and low signal-to-noise ratio, and the influence of the highly expressed features, which may be the result of amplification bias and other experimental artifacts.

• barcodetrackR barcodetrackR is an R package developed for the analysis and visualization of clonal tracking data. Data required is samples and tag abundances in matrix form. Usually from cellular barcoding experiments, integration site retrieval analyses, or similar technologies.

• biodb The biodb package provides access to standard remote chemical and biological databases (ChEBI, KEGG, HMDB, …), as well as to in-house local database files (CSV, SQLite), with easy retrieval of entries, access to web services, search of compounds by mass and/or name, and mass spectra matching for LCMS and MSMS. Its architecture as a development framework facilitates the development of new database connectors for local projects or inside separate published packages.

• BioNERO BioNERO aims to integrate all aspects of biological network inference in a single package, including data preprocessing, exploratory analyses, network inference, and analyses for biological interpretations. BioNERO can be used to infer gene coexpression networks (GCNs) and gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data. Additionally, it can be used to explore topological properties of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. GCN inference relies on the popular WGCNA algorithm. GRN inference is based on the “wisdom of the crowds” principle, which consists in inferring GRNs with multiple algorithms (here, CLR, GENIE3 and ARACNE) and calculating the average rank for each interaction pair. As all steps of network analyses are included in this package, BioNERO makes users avoid having to learn the syntaxes of several packages and how to communicate between them. Finally, users can also identify consensus modules across independent expression sets and calculate intra and interspecies module preservation statistics between different networks.

• BloodGen3Module The BloodGen3Module package provides functions for R user performing module repertoire analyses and generating fingerprint representations. Functions can perform group comparison or individual sample analysis and visualization by fingerprint grid plot or fingerprint heatmap. Module repertoire analyses typically involve determining the percentage of the constitutive genes for each module that are significantly increased or decreased. As we describe in details;https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/525709v2 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33624743/, the results of module repertoire analyses can be represented in a fingerprint format, where red and blue spots indicate increases or decreases in module activity. These spots are subsequently represented either on a grid, with each position being assigned to a given module, or in a heatmap where the samples are arranged in columns and the modules in rows.

• bnem bnem combines the use of indirect measurements of Nested Effects Models (package mnem) with the Boolean networks of CellNOptR. Perturbation experiments of signalling nodes in cells are analysed for their effect on the global gene expression profile. Those profiles give evidence for the Boolean regulation of down-stream nodes in the network, e.g., whether two parents activate their child independently (OR-gate) or jointly (AND-gate).

• BumpyMatrix Implements the BumpyMatrix class and several subclasses for holding non-scalar objects in each entry of the matrix. This is akin to a ragged array but the raggedness is in the third dimension, much like a bumpy surface - hence the name. Of particular interest is the BumpyDataFrameMatrix, where each entry is a Bioconductor data frame. This allows us to naturally represent multivariate data in a format that is compatible with two-dimensional containers like the SummarizedExperiment and MultiAssayExperiment objects.

• CAEN With the development of high-throughput techniques, more and more gene expression analysis tend to replace hybridization-based microarrays with the revolutionary technology.The novel method encodes the category again by employing the rank of samples for each gene in each class. We then consider the correlation coefficient of gene and class with rank of sample and new rank of category. The highest correlation coefficient genes are considered as the feature genes which are most effective to classify the samples.

• cbpManager This R package provides an R Shiny application that enables the user to generate, manage, and edit data and metadata files suitable for the import in cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics. Create cancer studies and edit its metadata. Upload mutation data of a patient that will be concatenated to the data_mutation_extended.txt file of the study. Create and edit clinical patient data, sample data, and timeline data. Create custom timeline tracks for patients.

• CelliD CelliD is a clustering-free multivariate statistical method for the robust extraction of per-cell gene signatures from single-cell RNA-seq. CelliD allows unbiased cell identity recognition across different donors, tissues-of-origin, model organisms and single-cell omics protocols. The package can also be used to explore functional pathways enrichment in single cell data.

• cellmigRation Import TIFF images of fluorescently labeled cells, and track cell movements over time. Parallelization is supported for image processing and for fast computation of cell trajectories. In-depth analysis of cell trajectories is enabled by 15 trajectory analysis functions.

• censcyt Methods for differential abundance analysis in high-dimensional cytometry data when a covariate is subject to right censoring (e.g. survival time) based on multiple imputation and generalized linear mixed models.

• CIMICE CIMICE is a tool in the field of tumor phylogenetics and its goal is to build a Markov Chain (called Cancer Progression Markov Chain, CPMC) in order to model tumor subtypes evolution. The input of CIMICE is a Mutational Matrix, so a boolean matrix representing altered genes in a collection of samples. These samples are assumed to be obtained with single-cell DNA analysis techniques and the tool is specifically written to use the peculiarities of this data for the CMPC construction.

• CNVgears This package contains a set of functions to perform several type of processing and analysis on CNVs calling pipelines/algorithms results in an integrated manner and regardless of the raw data type (SNPs array or NGS). It provides functions to combine multiple CNV calling results into a single object, filter them, compute CNVRs (CNV Regions) and inheritance patterns, detect genic load, and more. The package is best suited for studies in human family-based cohorts.

• CNViz CNViz takes probe, gene, and segment-level log2 copy number ratios and launches a Shiny app to visualize your sample’s copy number profile. You can also integrate loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and single nucleotide variant (SNV) data.

• ComPrAn This package is for analysis of SILAC labeled complexome profiling data. It uses peptide table in tab-delimited format as an input and produces ready-to-use tables and plots.

• conclus CONCLUS is a tool for robust clustering and positive marker features selection of single-cell RNA-seq (sc-RNA-seq) datasets. It takes advantage of a consensus clustering approach that greatly simplify sc-RNA-seq data analysis for the user. Of note, CONCLUS does not cover the preprocessing steps of sequencing files obtained following next-generation sequencing. CONCLUS is organized into the following steps: Generation of multiple t-SNE plots with a range of parameters including different selection of genes extracted from PCA. Use the Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm for idenfication of clusters in each generated t-SNE plot. All DBSCAN results are combined into a cell similarity matrix. The cell similarity matrix is used to define “CONSENSUS” clusters conserved accross the previously defined clustering solutions. Identify marker genes for each concensus cluster.

• condiments This package encapsulate many functions to conduct a differential topology analysis. It focuses on analyzing an ‘omic dataset with multiple conditions. While the package is mostly geared toward scRNASeq, it does not place any restriction on the actual input format.

• CONSTANd Normalizes a data matrix data by raking (using the RAS method by Bacharach, see references) the Nrows by Ncols matrix such that the row means and column means equal 1. The result is a normalized data matrix K=RAS, a product of row mulipliers R and column multipliers S with the original matrix A. Missing information needs to be presented as NA values and not as zero values, because CONSTANd is able to ignore missing values when calculating the mean. Using CONSTANd normalization allows for the direct comparison of values between samples within the same and even across different CONSTANd-normalized data matrices.

• cosmosR COSMOS (Causal Oriented Search of Multi-Omic Space) is a method that integrates phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics data sets based on prior knowledge of signaling, metabolic, and gene regulatory networks. It estimated the activities of transcrption factors and kinases and finds a network-level causal reasoning. Thereby, COSMOS provides mechanistic hypotheses for experimental observations across mulit-omics datasets.

• CTDquerier Package to retrieve and visualize data from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (http://ctdbase.org/). The downloaded data is formated as DataFrames for further downstream analyses.

• cyanoFilter An approach to filter out and/or identify phytoplankton cells from all particles measured via flow cytometry pigment and cell complexity information. It does this using a sequence of one-dimensional gates on pre-defined channels measuring certain pigmentation and complexity. The package is especially tuned for cyanobacteria, but will work fine for phytoplankton communities where there is at least one cell characteristic that differentiates every phytoplankton in the community.

• CytoGLMM The CytoGLMM R package implements two multiple regression strategies: A bootstrapped generalized linear model (GLM) and a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). Most current data analysis tools compare expressions across many computationally discovered cell types. CytoGLMM focuses on just one cell type. Our narrower field of application allows us to define a more specific statistical model with easier to control statistical guarantees. As a result, CytoGLMM finds differential proteins in flow and mass cytometry data while reducing biases arising from marker correlations and safeguarding against false discoveries induced by patient heterogeneity.

• dce Compute differential causal effects (dce) on (biological) networks. Given observational samples from a control experiment and non-control (e.g., cancer) for two genes A and B, we can compute differential causal effects with a (generalized) linear regression. If the causal effect of gene A on gene B in the control samples is different from the causal effect in the non-control samples the dce will differ from zero. We regularize the dce computation by the inclusion of prior network information from pathway databases such as KEGG.

• decoupleR Transcriptome profiling followed by differential gene expression analysis often leads to lists of genes that are hard to analyze and interpret. Downstream analysis tools can be used to summarize deregulation events into a smaller set of biologically interpretable features. In particular, methods that estimate the activity of transcription factors (TFs) from gene expression are commonly used. It has been shown that the transcriptional targets of a TF yield a much more robust estimation of the TF activity than observing the expression of the TF itself. Consequently, for the estimation of transcription factor activities, a network of transcriptional regulation is required in combination with a statistical algorithm that summarizes the expression of the target genes into a single activity score. Over the years, many different regulatory networks and statistical algorithms have been developed, mostly in a fixed combination of one network and one algorithm. To systematically evaluate both networks and algorithms, we developed decoupleR , an R package that allows users to apply efficiently any combination provided.

• DeepPINCS The identification of novel compound-protein interaction (CPI) is important in drug discovery. Revealing unknown compound-protein interactions is useful to design a new drug for a target protein by screening candidate compounds. The accurate CPI prediction assists in effective drug discovery process. To identify potential CPI effectively, prediction methods based on machine learning and deep learning have been developed. Data for sequences are provided as discrete symbolic data. In the data, compounds are represented as SMILES (simplified molecular-input line-entry system) strings and proteins are sequences in which the characters are amino acids. The outcome is defined as a variable that indicates how strong two molecules interact with each other or whether there is an interaction between them. In this package, a deep-learning based model that takes only sequence information of both compounds and proteins as input and the outcome as output is used to predict CPI. The model is implemented by using compound and protein encoders with useful features. The CPI model also supports other modeling tasks, including protein-protein interaction (PPI), chemical-chemical interaction (CCI), or single compounds and proteins. Although the model is designed for proteins, DNA and RNA can be used if they are represented as sequences.

• DelayedRandomArray Implements a DelayedArray of random values where the realization of the sampled values is delayed until they are needed. Reproducible sampling within any subarray is achieved by chunking where each chunk is initialized with a different random seed and stream. The usual distributions in the stats package are supported, along with scalar, vector and arrays for the parameters.

• DExMA performing all the steps of gene expression meta-analysis without eliminating those genes that are presented in almost two data sets. It provides the necessary functions to be able to perform the different methods of gene expression meta-analysis. In addition, it contains functions to apply quality controls, download GEO data sets and show graphical representations of the results.

• diffUTR The diffUTR package provides a uniform interface and plotting functions for limma/edgeR/DEXSeq -powered differential bin/exon usage. It includes in addition an improved version of the limma::diffSplice method. Most importantly, diffUTR further extends the application of these frameworks to differential UTR usage analysis using poly-A site databases.

• dir.expiry Implements an expiration system for access to versioned directories. Directories that have not been accessed by a registered function within a certain time frame are deleted. This aims to reduce disk usage by eliminating obsolete caches generated by old versions of packages.

• drugTargetInteractions Provides utilities for identifying drug-target interactions for sets of small molecule or gene/protein identifiers. The required drug-target interaction information is obained from a local SQLite instance of the ChEMBL database. ChEMBL has been chosen for this purpose, because it provides one of the most comprehensive and best annotatated knowledge resources for drug-target information available in the public domain.

• epialleleR Epialleles are specific DNA methylation patterns that are mitotically and/or meiotically inherited. This package calls hypermethylated epiallele frequencies at the level of genomic regions or individual cytosines in next-generation sequencing data using binary alignment map (BAM) files as an input. Other functionality includes computing the empirical cumulative distribution function for per-read beta values, and testing the significance of the association between epiallele methylation status and base frequencies at particular genomic positions (SNPs).

• epidecodeR epidecodeR is a package capable of analysing impact of degree of DNA/RNA epigenetic chemical modifications on dysregulation of genes or proteins. This package integrates chemical modification data generated from a host of epigenomic or epitranscriptomic techniques such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, m6A-seq, etc. and dysregulated gene lists in the form of differential gene expression, ribosome occupancy or differential protein translation and identify impact of dysregulation of genes caused due to varying degrees of chemical modifications associated with the genes. epidecodeR generates cumulative distribution function (CDF) plots showing shifts in trend of overall log2FC between genes divided into groups based on the degree of modification associated with the genes. The tool also tests for significance of difference in log2FC between groups of genes.

• epigraHMM epigraHMM provides a set of tools for the analysis of epigenomic data based on hidden Markov Models. It contains two separate peak callers, one for consensus peaks from biological/technical replicates, and and one for differial peaks from multi-replicate multi-condition experiments. For the latter, window-specific posterior probabilities associated with read count enrichment for every possible combinatorial pattern are provided.

• EWCE Used to determine which cell types are enriched within gene lists. The package provides tools for testing enrichments within simple gene lists (such as human disease associated genes) and those resulting from differential expression studies. The package does not depend upon any particular Single Cell Transcriptome dataset and user defined datasets can be loaded in and used in the analyses.

• FEAST Cell clustering is one of the most important and commonly performed tasks in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis. An important step in cell clustering is to select a subset of genes (referred to as “features”), whose expression patterns will then be used for downstream clustering. A good set of features should include the ones that distinguish different cell types, and the quality of such set could have significant impact on the clustering accuracy. FEAST is an R library for selecting most representative features before performing the core of scRNA-seq clustering. It can be used as a plug-in for the etablished clustering algorithms such as SC3, TSCAN, SHARP, SIMLR, and Seurat. The core of FEAST algorithm includes three steps: 1. consensus clustering; 2. gene-level significance inference; 3. validation of an optimized feature set.

It produces several kinds of plots, for example: Chromosome distribution plots, which visualize how your regions are distributed over chromosomes; feature distance distribution plots, which visualizes how your regions are distributed relative to a feature of interest, like Transcription Start Sites (TSSs); genomic partition plots, which visualize how your regions overlap given genomic features such as promoters, introns, exons, or intergenic regions. It also makes it easy to compare one set of ranges to another.

• GenomicSuperSignature This package contains the index, which is the Replicable and interpretable Axes of Variation (RAV) extracted from public RNA sequencing datasets by clustering and averaging top PCs. This index, named as RAVindex, is further annotated with MeSH terms and GSEA. Functions to connect PCs from new datasets to RAVs, extract interpretable annotations, and provide intuitive visualization, are implemented in this package. Overall, this package enables researchers to analyze new data in the context of existing databases with minimal computing resources.

• GEOfastq GEOfastq is used to download fastq files from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) starting with an accession from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To do this, sample metadata is retrieved from GEO and the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). SRA run accessions are then used to construct FTP and aspera download links for fastq files generated by the ENA.

• GeomxTools Tools for NanoString Technologies GeoMx Technology. Package provides functions for reading in DCC and PKC files based on an ExpressionSet derived object. Normalization and QC functions are also included.

• geva Statistic methods to evaluate variations of differential expression (DE) between multiple biological conditions. It takes into account the fold-changes and p-values from previous differential expression (DE) results that use large-scale data (e.g., microarray and RNA-seq) and evaluates which genes would react in response to the distinct experiments. This evaluation involves an unique pipeline of statistical methods, including weighted summarization, quantile detection, cluster analysis, and ANOVA tests, in order to classify a subset of relevant genes whose DE is similar or dependent to certain biological factors.

• granulator granulator is an R package for the cell type deconvolution of heterogeneous tissues based on bulk RNA-seq data or single cell RNA-seq expression profiles. The package provides a unified testing interface to rapidly run and benchmark multiple state-of-the-art deconvolution methods.

• hca This package provides users with the ability to query the Human Cell Atlas data repository for single-cell experiment data. The projects(), files(), samples() and bundles() functions retrieve summary information on each of these indexes; corresponding *_details() are available for individual entries of each index. File-based resources can be downloaded using files_download(). Advanced use of the package allows the user to page through large result sets, and to flexibly query the ‘list-of-lists’ structure representing query responses.

• HGC HGC (short for Hierarchical Graph-based Clustering) is a R package for conducting hierarchical clustering on large-scale single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. The key idea is to construct a dendrogram of cells on their shared nearest neighbor (SNN) graph. HGC provides functions for building cell graphs and for conducting hierarchical clustering on the graph.

• HiCDCPlus Systematic 3D interaction calls and differential analysis for Hi-C and HiChIP. The HiC-DC+ (Hi-C/HiChIP direct caller plus) package enables principled statistical analysis of Hi-C and HiChIP data sets – including calling significant interactions within a single experiment and performing differential analysis between conditions given replicate experiments – to facilitate global integrative studies. HiC-DC+ estimates significant interactions in a Hi-C or HiChIP experiment directly from the raw contact matrix for each chromosome up to a specified genomic distance, binned by uniform genomic intervals or restriction enzyme fragments, by training a background model to account for random polymer ligation and systematic sources of read count variation.

• HubPub HubPub provides users with functionality to help with the Bioconductor Hub structures. The package provides the ability to create a skeleton of a Hub style package that the user can then populate with the necessary information. There are also functions to help add resources to the Hub package metadata files as well as publish data to the Bioconductor S3 bucket.

• immunotation MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules are cell surface complexes that present antigens to T cells. The repertoire of antigens presented in a given genetic background largely depends on the sequence of the encoded MHC molecules, and thus, in humans, on the highly variable HLA (human leukocyte antigen) genes of the hyperpolymorphic HLA locus. More than 28,000 different HLA alleles have been reported, with significant differences in allele frequencies between human populations worldwide. Reproducible and consistent annotation of HLA alleles in large-scale bioinformatics workflows remains challenging, because the available reference databases and software tools often use different HLA naming schemes. The package immunotation provides tools for consistent annotation of HLA genes in typical immunoinformatics workflows such as for example the prediction of MHC-presented peptides in different human donors. Converter functions that provide mappings between different HLA naming schemes are based on the MHC restriction ontology (MRO). The package also provides automated access to HLA alleles frequencies in worldwide human reference populations stored in the Allele Frequency Net Database.

• interacCircos Implement in an efficient approach to display the genomic data, relationship, information in an interactive circular genome(Circos) plot. ‘interacCircos’ are inspired by ‘circosJS’, ‘BioCircos.js’ and ‘NG-Circos’ and we integrate the modules of ‘circosJS’, ‘BioCircos.js’ and ‘NG-Circos’ into this R package, based on ‘htmlwidgets’ framework.

• InteractiveComplexHeatmap This package can easily make heatmaps which are produced by the ComplexHeatmap package into interactive applications. It provides two types of interactivities: 1. on the interactive graphics device, and 2. on a Shiny app. It also provides functions for integrating the interactive heatmap widgets for more complex Shiny app development.

• InterCellar InterCellar is implemented as an R/Bioconductor Package containing a Shiny app that allows users to interactively analyze cell-cell communication from scRNA-seq data. Starting from precomputed ligand-receptor interactions, InterCellar provides filtering options, annotations and multiple visualizations to explore clusters, genes and functions. Finally, the user can define interaction-pairs modules and link them to significant functional terms from Pathways or Gene Ontology.

• IRISFGM Single-cell RNA-Seq data is useful in discovering cell heterogeneity and signature genes in specific cell populations in cancer and other complex diseases. Specifically, the investigation of functional gene modules (FGM) can help to understand gene interactive networks and complex biological processes. QUBIC2 is recognized as one of the most efficient and effective tools for FGM identification from scRNA-Seq data. However, its availability is limited to a C implementation, and its applicative power is affected by only a few downstream analyses functionalities. We developed an R package named IRIS-FGM (integrative scRNA-Seq interpretation system for functional gene module analysis) to support the investigation of FGMs and cell clustering using scRNA-Seq data. Empowered by QUBIC2, IRIS-FGM can identify co-expressed and co-regulated FGMs, predict types/clusters, identify differentially expressed genes, and perform functional enrichment analysis. It is noteworthy that IRIS-FGM also applies Seurat objects that can be easily used in the Seurat vignettes.

• KBoost Reconstructing gene regulatory networks and transcription factor activity is crucial to understand biological processes and holds potential for developing personalized treatment. Yet, it is still an open problem as state-of-art algorithm are often not able to handle large amounts of data. Furthermore, many of the present methods predict numerous false positives and are unable to integrate other sources of information such as previously known interactions. Here we introduce KBoost, an algorithm that uses kernel PCA regression, boosting and Bayesian model averaging for fast and accurate reconstruction of gene regulatory networks. KBoost can also use a prior network built on previously known transcription factor targets. We have benchmarked KBoost using three different datasets against other high performing algorithms. The results show that our method compares favourably to other methods across datasets.

• lisaClust lisaClust provides a series of functions to identify and visualise regions of tissue where spatial associations between cell-types is similar. This package can be used to provide a high-level summary of cell-type colocalization in multiplexed imaging data that has been segmented at a single-cell resolution.

• LRcell The goal of LRcell is to identify specific sub-cell types that drives the changes observed in a bulk RNA-seq differential gene expression experiment. To achieve this, LRcell utilizes sets of cell marker genes acquired from single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) as indicators for various cell types in the tissue of interest. Next, for each cell type, using its marker genes as indicators, we apply Logistic Regression on the complete set of genes with differential expression p-values to calculate a cell-type significance p-value. Finally, these p-values are compared to predict which one(s) are likely to be responsible for the differential gene expression pattern observed in the bulk RNA-seq experiments. LRcell is inspired by the LRpath[@sartor2009lrpath] algorithm developed by Sartor et al., originally designed for pathway/gene set enrichment analysis. LRcell contains three major components: LRcell analysis, plot generation and marker gene selection. All modules in this package are written in R. This package also provides marker genes in the Prefrontal Cortex (pFC) human brain region, human PBMC and nine mouse brain regions (Frontal Cortex, Cerebellum, Globus Pallidus, Hippocampus, Entopeduncular, Posterior Cortex, Striatum, Substantia Nigra and Thalamus).

• MatrixQCvis Data quality assessment is an integral part of preparatory data analysis to ensure sound biological information retrieval. We present here the MatrixQCvis package, which provides shiny-based interactive visualization of data quality metrics at the per-sample and per-feature level. It is broadly applicable to quantitative omics data types that come in matrix-like format (features x samples). It enables the detection of low-quality samples, drifts, outliers and batch effects in data sets. Visualizations include amongst others bar- and violin plots of the (count/intensity) values, mean vs standard deviation plots, MA plots, empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) plots, visualizations of the distances between samples, and multiple types of dimension reduction plots. Furthermore, MatrixQCvis allows for differential expression analysis based on the limma (moderated t-tests) and proDA (Wald tests) packages. MatrixQCvis builds upon the popular Bioconductor SummarizedExperiment S4 class and enables thus the facile integration into existing workflows. The package is especially tailored towards metabolomics and proteomics mass spectrometry data, but also allows to assess the data quality of other data types that can be represented in a SummarizedExperiment object.

• memes A seamless interface to the MEME Suite family of tools for motif analysis. ‘memes’ provides data aware utilities for using GRanges objects as entrypoints to motif analysis, data structures for examining & editing motif lists, and novel data visualizations. ‘memes’ functions and data structures are amenable to both base R and tidyverse workflows.

The package supports both single-cell and single-molecule data, and a common interface for jointly visualizing both data types through the generation of ordered representational methylation-state matrices. The Shiny app allows for an interactive seriation process of refinement and re-weighting that optimally orders the cells or DNA molecules to discover methylation patterns and nucleosome positioning.

• mia mia implements tools for microbiome analysis based on the SummarizedExperiment, SingleCellExperiment and TreeSummarizedExperiment infrastructure. Data wrangling and analysis in the context of taxonomic data is the main scope. Additional functions for common task are implemented such as community indices calculation and summarization.

• midasHLA MiDAS is a R package for immunogenetics data transformation and statistical analysis. MiDAS accepts input data in the form of HLA alleles and KIR types, and can transform it into biologically meaningful variables, enabling HLA amino acid fine mapping, analyses of HLA evolutionary divergence, KIR gene presence, as well as validated HLA-KIR interactions. Further, it allows comprehensive statistical association analysis workflows with phenotypes of diverse measurement scales. MiDAS closes a gap between the inference of immunogenetic variation and its efficient utilization to make relevant discoveries related to T cell, Natural Killer cell, and disease biology.

• miloR This package performs single-cell differential abundance testing. Cell states are modelled as representative neighbourhoods on a nearest neighbour graph. Hypothesis testing is performed using a negative bionomial generalized linear model.

• mina An increasing number of microbiome datasets have been generated and analyzed with the help of rapidly developing sequencing technologies. At present, analysis of taxonomic profiling data is mainly conducted using composition-based methods, which ignores interactions between community members. Besides this, a lack of efficient ways to compare microbial interaction networks limited the study of community dynamics. To better understand how community diversity is affected by complex interactions between its members, we developed a framework (Microbial community dIversity and Network Analysis, mina), a comprehensive framework for microbial community diversity analysis and network comparison. By defining and integrating network-derived community features, we greatly reduce noise-to-signal ratio for diversity analyses. A bootstrap and permutation-based method was implemented to assess community network dissimilarities and extract discriminative features in a statistically principled way.

• miQC Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has made it possible to profile gene expression in tissues at high resolution. An important preprocessing step prior to performing downstream analyses is to identify and remove cells with poor or degraded sample quality using quality control (QC) metrics. Two widely used QC metrics to identify a ‘low-quality’ cell are (i) if the cell includes a high proportion of reads that map to mitochondrial DNA encoded genes (mtDNA) and (ii) if a small number of genes are detected. miQC is data-driven QC metric that jointly models both the proportion of reads mapping to mtDNA and the number of detected genes with mixture models in a probabilistic framework to predict the low-quality cells in a given dataset.

• mistyR mistyR is an impolementation of the Multiview Intercellular SpaTialmodeling framework (MISTy). MISTy is an explainable machine learning framework for knowledge extraction and analysis of single-cell, highly multiplexed, spatially resolved data. MISTy facilitates an in-depth understanding of marker interactions by profiling the intra- and intercellular relationships. MISTy is a flexible framework able to process a custom number of views. Each of these views can describe a different spatial context, i.e., define a relationship among the observed expressions of the markers, such as intracellular regulation or paracrine regulation, but also, the views can also capture cell-type specific relationships, capture relations between functional footprints or focus on relations between different anatomical regions. Each MISTy view is considered as a potential source of variability in the measured marker expressions. Each MISTy view is then analyzed for its contribution to the total expression of each marker and is explained in terms of the interactions with other measurements that led to the observed contribution.

• PDATK Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has a relatively poor prognosis and is one of the most lethal cancers. Molecular classification of gene expression profiles holds the potential to identify meaningful subtypes which can inform therapeutic strategy in the clinical setting. The Pancreatic Cancer Adenocarcinoma Tool-Kit (PDATK) provides an S4 class-based interface for performing unsupervised subtype discovery, cross-cohort meta-clustering, gene-expression-based classification, and subsequent survival analysis to identify prognostically useful subtypes in pancreatic cancer and beyond. Two novel methods, Consensus Subtypes in Pancreatic Cancer (CSPC) and Pancreatic Cancer Overall Survival Predictor (PCOSP) are included for consensus-based meta-clustering and overall-survival prediction, respectively. Additionally, four published subtype classifiers and three published prognostic gene signatures are included to allow users to easily recreate published results, apply existing classifiers to new data, and benchmark the relative performance of new methods. The use of existing Bioconductor classes as input to all PDATK classes and methods enables integration with existing Bioconductor datasets, including the 21 pancreatic cancer patient cohorts available in the MetaGxPancreas data package. PDATK has been used to replicate results from Sandhu et al (2019) [https://doi.org/10.1200/cci.18.00102] and an additional paper is in the works using CSPC to validate subtypes from the included published classifiers, both of which use the data available in MetaGxPancreas. The inclusion of subtype centroids and prognostic gene signatures from these and other publications will enable researchers and clinicians to classify novel patient gene expression data, allowing the direct clinical application of the classifiers included in PDATK. Overall, PDATK provides a rich set of tools to identify and validate useful prognostic and molecular subtypes based on gene-expression data, benchmark new classifiers against existing ones, and apply discovered classifiers on novel patient data to inform clinical decision making.

• POWSC Determining the sample size for adequate power to detect statistical significance is a crucial step at the design stage for high-throughput experiments. Even though a number of methods and tools are available for sample size calculation for microarray and RNA-seq in the context of differential expression (DE), this topic in the field of single-cell RNA sequencing is understudied. Moreover, the unique data characteristics present in scRNA-seq such as sparsity and heterogeneity increase the challenge. We propose POWSC, a simulation-based method, to provide power evaluation and sample size recommendation for single-cell RNA sequencing DE analysis. POWSC consists of a data simulator that creates realistic expression data, and a power assessor that provides a comprehensive evaluation and visualization of the power and sample size relationship.

• ppcseq Relative transcript abundance has proven to be a valuable tool for understanding the function of genes in biological systems. For the differential analysis of transcript abundance using RNA sequencing data, the negative binomial model is by far the most frequently adopted. However, common methods that are based on a negative binomial model are not robust to extreme outliers, which we found to be abundant in public datasets. So far, no rigorous and probabilistic methods for detection of outliers have been developed for RNA sequencing data, leaving the identification mostly to visual inspection. Recent advances in Bayesian computation allow large-scale comparison of observed data against its theoretical distribution given in a statistical model. Here we propose ppcseq, a key quality-control tool for identifying transcripts that include outlier data points in differential expression analysis, which do not follow a negative binomial distribution. Applying ppcseq to analyse several publicly available datasets using popular tools, we show that from 3 to 10 percent of differentially abundant transcripts across algorithms and datasets had statistics inflated by the presence of outliers.

RCSL uses Spearman’s rank correlations of a cell’s expression vector with those of other cells to measure its global similar-ity, and adaptively learns neighbour representation of a cell as its local similarity. The overall similar-ity of a cell to other cells is a linear combination of its global similarity and local similarity.

The RLasso-Cox model uses random walk to evaluate the topological weight of genes, and then highlights topologically important genes to improve the generalization ability of the Lasso-Cox model. The RLasso-Cox model has the advantage of identifying small gene sets with high prognostic performance on independent datasets, which may play an important role in identifying robust survival biomarkers for various cancer types.

• ttgsea Functional enrichment analysis methods such as gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) have been widely used for analyzing gene expression data. GSEA is a powerful method to infer results of gene expression data at a level of gene sets by calculating enrichment scores for predefined sets of genes. GSEA depends on the availability and accuracy of gene sets. There are overlaps between terms of gene sets or categories because multiple terms may exist for a single biological process, and it can thus lead to redundancy within enriched terms. In other words, the sets of related terms are overlapping. Using deep learning, this pakage is aimed to predict enrichment scores for unique tokens or words from text in names of gene sets to resolve this overlapping set issue. Furthermore, we can coin a new term by combining tokens and find its enrichment score by predicting such a combined tokens.

• ObMiTi The package provide RNA-seq count for 2 strains of mus musclus; Wild type and Ob/Ob. Each strain was divided into two groups, and each group received either chow diet or high fat diet. RNA expression was measured after 12 weeks in 7 tissues.

• preciseTADhub An experimentdata package to supplement the preciseTAD package containing pre-trained models and the variable importances of each genomic annotation used to build the model parsed into list objects and available in ExperimentHub. In total, preciseTADhub provides access to n=84 random forest classification models optimized to predict TAD/chromatin loop boundary regions and stored as .RDS files. The value, n, comes from the fact that we considered l=2 cell lines {GM12878, K562}, g=2 ground truth boundaries {Arrowhead, Peakachu}, and c=21 autosomal chromosomes {CHR1, CHR2, …, CHR22} (omitting CHR9). Furthermore, each object is itself a two-item list containing: (1) the model object, and (2) the variable importances for CTCF, RAD21, SMC3, and ZNF143 used to predict boundary regions. Each model is trained via a “holdout” strategy, in which data from chromosomes {CHR1, CHR2, …, CHRi-1, CHRi+1, …, CHR22} were used to build the model and the ith chromosome was reserved for testing. See https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.03.282186 for more detail on the model building strategy.

BiocFileCache

                    Changes in version 1.99                         

MAJOR UPDATES

• (1.99.0) The default caching location has changed. Instead of rappdirs::user_cache_dir using tools::R_user_dir. To avoid conflicting caches, a user will have to manage an old cache location before proceeding. Information for handling an old cache location is provided in the vignette.

• (1.99.0) Another major change, a default caching location is automatically created in a non interactive session instead of using a temporary location. In an interactive session, a user is still prompted for permission.

• (1.99.0) An enviornment variable may be set system wide or user wide to control the default caching location: BFC_CACHE. Note: do not use R variables or command line export to set this variable. It must be set system wide or user wide for reproducibility in future R sessions or else it must be specified upon ever usage. It must be set before calling library(BiocFileCache) to take effect.

• (1.99.0) Fixes partial argument matching error in SQL function SQLExecute

• (1.15.1) Added file locking for thread-safe SQL operations. Thanks for the PR @LTLA

• New run_ora() fisher exact test to calculate the regulatory activity.
• New run_pscira() uses a logic equivalent to run_mean() with the difference that it does not accept a column of likelihood.
• New run_scira() calculates the regulatory activity through the coefficient $\beta_1$ of an adjusted linear model.
• New run_viper() incorporate a convinient wrapper for viper::viper().

Converters

DelayedArray

                   Changes in version 0.18.0

NEW FEATURES

• Implement ConstantArray objects. The ConstantArray class is a DelayedArray subclass to efficiently mimic an array containing a constant value, without actually creating said array in memory.

• Add scale() method for DelayedMatrix objects.

• Add sinkApply(), a convenience function for walking on a RealizationSink derivative and filling it with blocks of data.

• Proper support for dgRMatrix and lgRMatrix objects as DelayedArray object seeds:
  • is_sparse() now returns TRUE on dgRMatrix and lgRMatrix objects.
  • Support coercion back and forth between SparseArraySeed objects and dgRMatrix/lgRMatrix objects.
  • Add extract_sparse_array() methods for dgRMatrix and lgRMatrix objects.
  • These changes bring the treatment of dgRMatrix and lgRMatrix objects to the same level as dgCMatrix and lgCMatrix objects. For example, wrapping a dgRMatrix or lgRMatrix object in a DelayedArray object will trigger the same sparse-optimized mechanisms during block processing as when wrapping a dgCMatrix or lgCMatrix object.

• rbind() and cbind() on sparse DelayedArray objects are now fully supported.

• Delayed operations of type DelayedUnaryIsoOpWithArgs now preserve sparsity when appropriate.

• Implement DummyArrayGrid and DummyArrayViewport objects.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Rename viewportApply()/viewportReduce() -> gridApply()/gridReduce().

BUG FIXES

• Subsetting of a DelayedArray object now propagates the names/dimnames, even when drop=TRUE and the result has only 1 dimension (issue #78).

• log() on a DelayedArray object now handles the ‘base’ argument.

• Fix issue in is_sparse() methods for DelayedUnaryIsoOpStack and DelayedNaryIsoOp objects.

• cbind()/rbind() no longer coerce supplied objects to type of 1st object (commit f1279e07).

• Fix small issue in dim() setter (commit c9488537).

DelayedMatrixStats

• Fix for missing na.rm= argument in AvgsPerSet functions.

• DelayedMatrixStats no longer has a hard requirement on HDF5Array or BiocParallel.

• Correct handling of drop= by quantile functions (<URL: https://github.com/PeteHaitch/DelayedMatrixStats/pull/71>).

• Fix 2 issues with how the center argument is handled (<URL: https://github.com/PeteHaitch/DelayedMatrixStats/pull/69>).

DepecheR

             Changes in version 1.7.2 (2021-03-25)                  

• Major internal changes to the depeche function, with two user consequences: o The dualDepeche option is deprecated, as it made the function very heavy to maintain and was not flexible enough to be of great use. o The interface to dAllocate is much improved, allowing for smooth allocation of new data to an established model, which makes large dualDepeche runs, constructed outside of the function, possible in a more versatile way than previously.

             Changes in version 1.7.1 (2021-02-02)

• Added 1 new Visualization function: ‘dittoFreqPlot()’.

• Added interaction with ‘rowData’ of SE and SCEs via a ‘swap.rownames’ input, e.g. to simplify provision of ‘var’s via symbols vs IDs.

• Improved & expanded ‘split.by’ capabilities by: 1- adding them to ‘dittoBarPlot()’, ‘dittoDotPlot()’, and ‘dittoPlotVarsAcrossGroups()’; 2- adding ‘split.adjust’ input to all functions for passing adjudstments to underlying ‘facet_grid()’ and ‘facet_wrap()’ calls; 3- adding ‘split.show.all.others’ input to ‘dittoDimPlot()’ and ‘dittoScatterPlot()’ to allow the full spectrum of points, rather than just points excluded with ‘cells.use’, to be shown as light gray in the background of all facets; 4- Bug fix: splitting now works with labeling of Dim/Scatter plots, with label position calculated per facet, and without affecting facet order.

• Improved ‘dittoPlot()’-plotting engine (also effects ‘dittoPlotVarsAcrossGroups()’, and ‘dittoFreqPlot()’) by: for y-axis plotting, 1- extended geom dodging to also work on jitters when ‘color.by’ is used to add subgroupings & 2- added a ‘boxplot.lineweight’ control option; for x-axis / ridge plotting, 1- added an alternative histogram-shaping option (Try ‘ridgeplot.shape = “hist”’) & 2- improved use of white space via a new ‘ridgeplot.ymax.expansion’ input.

• Standardized output logic so that ‘do.hover = TRUE’ will lead to plotly conversion even when ‘data.out = TRUE’.

• ‘dittoHeatmap()’: ‘order.by’ can also now accept multiple gene/metadata names to order by & bug fix: when given an integer vector, that vector will be used directly to set the order of heatmap columns.

• ‘dittoBarPlot()’: grouping & ‘var’ order control improved via addition of a ‘retain.factor.levels’ input.

exomePeak2

             Changes in version 1.3.7 (2021-03-10)                  

• Parameter parallel is changed in the exomePeak2() and exomePeakCalling() functions; the parameter now enables user to configure specific number of cores used in the parallel computation (default = 1).

• To avoid the potential confusion for the downstream analysis, the default settings for the parameter log2FC_cutoff in functions exomePeak2() and exomePeakCalling() are changed from 1 to 0. The adjustment should have very little effect on the peak calling result.

• The naming of peaks in the output file is now sorted by their genomic order.

• A maximum for peak width is added now, which is by default 100*fragment_length. Such a higher bound can significantly improve the results of DRACH motif finding for m6A-Seq.

             Changes in version 1.3.5 (2021-02-07)                  
  

• Improved the grammar and details in the DESCRIPTION file and the vignettes.

• When performing the difference analysis using the function exomePeak2(), the sequencing depth of the interactive GLM will be estimated on the background features, which by default are the disjoint regions of the peaks detected on the exons. Tests on real data revealed that the background approach can make the differential methylation directions more in-line with the expectation of the perturbed protein regulator. Previously, the background sequencing depth estimation can only be realized in the multiple-step functions but not in exomePeak2().

             Changes in version 1.3.4 (2021-02-05)                  
  

• The options consistent_peak, consistent_log2FC_cutoff, consistent_fdr_cutoff, alpha, and p0 are deprecated from the functions exomePeak2() and exomePeakCalling(). The consistent_peak option was implemented to reproduce the consistent peak calling algorithm in the old package exomePeak, and its performance is significantly lower than the NB GLM derived methods according to our recent tests. Hence, the consistency related functionalities are removed in the later versions of exomePeak2.

             Changes in version 1.3.3 (2021-02-03)                  
  

• Fix the bug of not merging the overlapping exons when the transcript annotation have no overlapping transcripts, this can happen when a very small annotation is provided.

                    Changes in version 2.1.5                        
  

• Scale parameter in FlowSOM function defaults to FALSE.

• FlowSOM wrapper function now returns the FlowSOM object instead of a list containing the FlowSOM object and a metaclustering

• The metaclustering is now found as an element in the flowSOM object. Also the number of metaclusters and the MFI values are stored and can be accessed by the NMetaclusters() and GetMetaclusterMFIs() functions.

• If you want to reuse FlowSOM objects generated by previous versions, you can use the UpdateFlowSOM function.

• FlowSOM now uses nClus = 10 as default instead of maxMeta = 10

• FlowSOM now makes use of ggplot2 for plotting. PlotFlowSOM provides the main structure, and has parameters to adapt nodeSize, view (grid, MST or some own layout matrix), … PlotStars etc build on this by adding additional layers to the ggplot object. This also allows to easily incorporate multiple plots in all layout-tools such as ggarrange, cowplot, patchwork, …

• GetChannels/GetMarkers can now also take a FlowSOM object as input instead of a flowFrame. New functions:

• To easily generate a clear summary of the model with multiple plots, you can now use the FlowSOMmary function, which creates a pdf file.

• GetFeatures allows to map new files (internally using the NewData function) and can return cluster counts, percentages and MFI values for each individual sample.

• PlotFileScatters can be useful to get an overview of potential batch effects before running the FlowSOM algorithm

GeneTonic

                    Changes in version 1.4.0                        

New features

• The main function GeneTonic() gains an extra parameter, gtl - this can be used to provided a named list object where a single parameter is passed (e.g. after loading in a single serialized object), while the functionality stays unaltered. The same gtl parameter is also exposed in other functions of the package - see the vignette for some examples, or check the documentation of each specific function. To create this object in a standardized manner, the function GeneTonic_list() is now available.

• A new function to perform fuzzy clustering (following the implementation of DAVID) is added - see gs_fuzzyclustering(). It returns a table with additional information on the cluster of genesets and the status of each set in the group.

• The ggs_backbone() function can extract the bipartite graph backbone from the Gene-Geneset graph, this can be further explored below the main element in the Gene-Geneset panel. Once the backbone is created, you are one step away from checking out the genes that act as “hubs” in the Gene-Geneset graph, and possibly identify the nodes playing an essential role based on their connectivity.

• A new function, signature_volcano(), adds a signature volcano plot to the Gene-Geneset panel. This plot displays the genes of a chosen geneset in color, while the remaining genes of the data are shown as shaded dots in the background. The color and transparency of the displayed genes can be chosen by the user, as well as the option to display the gene names of all genes in the geneset.

• gs_summary_overview() can also generate bar plots instead of the default segment-dot (lollipop) plots.

• A new function, summarize_ggs_hubgenes(), builds a DT datatable for the Gene-Geneset panel. This table lists the individual genes of the input data and their respective degree in the Gene-Geneset graph. Furthermore, action buttons linking to the NCBI, GeneCards and GTEx databases are included for each gene.

• gene_plot() gains the extra labels_display argument to control whether the labels are at all shown; now the display of the labels is also respecting the jitter of the points

Other notes

• gs_heatmap() has now the possibility to set the arguments to the call to heatmap generating function, via ellipsis
• gs_heatmap() handles the colors in a consistent way over the different executions, without relying on the random palettes provided by the Heatmap’s annotation functionality - could have been misleading if encountering too similar hues are randomly picked
• the plots obtained via gs_mds() and gs_volcano() now always display the line segments for the data points to be labeled (increasing the readability - as “matching back the label to the drawed circle” - thanks for the suggestion!)

GENIE3

                   Changes in version 1.13.3                        

• The regulators can now be provided as a list with different regulators for each gene/feature.

                    Changes in version 1.5.1                        

• Fixed a bug caused by a deprecated function sjstats::eta_sq().
  • In ‘MD_perform_zoning.R’, function ‘sjstats::eta_sq()’ is deprecated. Use ‘lsr::etaSquared()’ instead.

• The first update in response to F1000 comments

• Added dating arguments to HPA_data_downloader

• Now when you have save_file set to true, the file will be stamped with the date it was downloaded. This allows for reproducible access tot he file you created.

• To deal with dated files we now have the arguments version_date_normal and version_date cancer, which allows users to select which downloaded HPA data they want to use based on the date of downloading. The default to “last” which will search for the latest version of the files in the save_location

• The last addition is force_download, an argument that will overide the function’s default usage of the local files in case you want to download a more recent version of the HPA data.

• Change to HPAStainR and by extension shiny_HPAStainR

• Added Fisher’s Exact Test to HPAStainR’s main function

• Due to the inconsistency that exists in using simulated p-values in chisq.test the default new test if Fisher’s exact and an argument test_type has been added so users can pick between the two.

• Changed the output of the p-values to numeric instead of a character.

             Changes in version 1.7.2 (2020-05-05)                  

• New dependencies : RANN, leiden, phyclust

• Added new partition method for subclustering that uses the Leiden algorithm based on a K-nn adjacency matrix.

• Changed the default subclustering method to leiden which is much faster than the random trees method.

• Split Bayesian filtering step in two steps, one that runs the model, and one that applies the filter threshold. This allows updating the threshold without having to rerun the whole model.

• Fix what groupings of references the subclustering is done on.

ISAnalytics

             Changes in version 1.1.11 (2021-05-11)                 

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

• HSC_population_size_estimate and HSC_population_plot allow estimates on hematopoietic stem cell population size
• Importing of Vispa2 stats per pool now has a dedicated function, import_Vispa2_stats
• outlier_filter and outliers_by_pool_fragments offer a mean to filter poorly represented samples based on custom outliers tests

VISIBLE USER CHANGES

• The argument import_stats of aggregate_metadata is officially deprecated in favor of import_Vispa2_stats
• aggregate_metadata is now a lot more flexible on what operations can be performed on columns via the new argument aggregating_functions
• import_association_file allows directly for the import of Vispa2 stats and converts time points to months and years where not already present
• File system alignment of import_association_file now produces 3 separate columns for paths
• separate_quant_matrices and comparison_matrix now do not require mandatory columns other than the quantifications - this allows for separation or joining also for aggregated matrices

FIXES

• Fixed a minor issue in CIS_volcano_plot that caused duplication of some labels if highlighted genes were provided in input

             Changes in version 1.1.10 (2021-04-08)                 
  

FIXES

• Fixed issue in compute_near_integrations: when provided recalibration map export path as a folder now the function works correctly and produces an automatically generated file name
• Fixed issue in aggregate_metadata: now paths to folder that contains Vispa2 stats is looked up correctly. Also, VISPA2 stats columns are aggregated if found in the input data frame independently from the parameter import_stats.

IMPROVEMENTS

• compute_abundance can now take as input aggregated matrices and has additional parameters to offer more flexibility to the user. Major updates and improvements also on documentation and reproducible examples.
• Major improvements in function import_single_Vispa2Matrix: import is now preferentially carried out using data.table::fread greatly speeding up the process - where not possible readr::read_delim is used instead
• Major improvements in function import_association_file: greatly improved parsing precision (each column has a dedicated type), import report now signals parsing problems and their location and signals also problems in parsing dates. Report also includes potential problems in column names and signals missing data in important columns. Added also the possibility to give various file formats in input including *.xls(x) formats.
• Function top_integrations can now take additional parameters to compute top n genes for each specified group
• Removed faceting parameters in CIS_volcano_plot due to poor precision (easier to add faceting manually) and added parameters to return the data frame that generated the plot as an additional result. Also, it is now possible to specify a vector of gene names to highlight even if they’re not above the annotation threshold.

MINOR

• ISAnalytics website has improved graphic theme and has an additional button on the right that leads to the devel (or release) version of the website
• Updated vignettes

FOR DEVS ONLY

UPGRADES

• It is now possible to save html reports to file from import_parallel_Vispa2Matrices_auto and import_parallel_Vispa2Matrices_interactive, remove_collisions and compute_near_integrations

FIXES

             Changes in version 1.1.1 (2020-11-04)                  
  

FIXES

• Functions that make use of widgets do not interrupt execution anymore if errors are thrown while producing or printing the widgets

• Other minor fixes (typos)
• Bug fixes: fixed a few bugs in importing and recalibration functions
• Minor fix in import_association_file file function: added multiple strings to be translated as NA

IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR

            Changes in version 1.13.07 (2021-05-06)                 

• Update type: minor.

• importGTF() and importRdata() was updated to handle the rare cases of mixed stranded and unstranded isoforms (unstanded are now discareded).

• addORFfromGTF() was updated to better repport if no or only small number of ORFs were added.

• Various maintainance updates.

            Changes in version 1.13.06 (2021-04-09)                 
  

• Update type: minor.

• The runtimes repported by isoformSwitchTestDEXSeq() was updated to also consider the number of transcripts analysed.

• analyzeORF() was updated to enable analysis with analyzeNovelIsoformORF() when no overlaps were found.

• switchPlot was fixed so the alphas argument now work.

• Various updates of warning, descriptions and error messages.

• extractSequence() was updated to remove the terminal stop codon if it is included in the annoation.

• extractSequence() was updated to produce evenly sized files when alsoSplitFastaFile=TRUE.

• analysORF no longer allows identification of truncated ORFs.

            Changes in version 1.13.05 (2021-01-07)                 
  

• Update type: Major.

• analyseORF was updated with the orfMethod “longest.AnnotatedWhenPossible” a hybrid between “longes” and “longestAnnotated”. See ?analyseORF for details.

• importGTF, importRdata and analyseORF was updated to also annoate the source of the ORF annoations. analyzeCPAT and analyzeCPC2 was updated to also changes these if removeNoncodinORFs = TRUE.

• To enable better ORF analysis the addORFfromGTF() and analyzeNovelIsoformORF() functions were added to IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR. These should be used instead of analyzeORF(). These function also annotate the source of the ORF annoations. See vignette for description of why these are preferable.

• analyseORF() was updated with an additional method for ORF detection: “longest.AnnotatedWhenPossible”.

• the getCDS() function and CDSSet class was removed for the user as addORFfromGTF() + analyzeNovelIsoformORF() provides a better way to analyse ORFs.

• Downstream functions relying on ORF data now checks that all isoforms have been assessed for ORFs. These are extractSequence(), analyzeSwitchConsequences(), switchPlotTranscript() and switchPlot().

• isoformSwitchAnalysisPart1() and isoformSwitchAnalysisPart2() was also updated to support the new ORF annotation scheme.

• The usage of isoformSwitchAnalysisPart1() and isoformSwitchAnalysisPart2() was made less complex by removing many arguments passed to sub-functions thereby relying more on default arguments.

• importRdata() was updated to import the “refrence gene_ids” instead of StringTie gene_ids (for all annotated genes).

• the StringTie annotation rescue in importRdata() was updated to use “refrence gene_ids” instead of “refrence gene_names” thereby fixing problems with closely spaced genes, that have the same gene name, which was merged by StringTie.

• importGTF() now also imports ref_gene_id from StringTie gtf to enable the above mentioned updates to importRdata(). If not pressent it will duplicate gene_name instead.

• extractGeneExpression() was updated to allow easy output of gene annoation.

limma

                   Changes in version 3.48.0                        

New functionality

• Explicitly setting weights=NULL in a call to lmFit() no longer over-rides the weights value found in object. Default settings in lmFit() changed from ndups= and spacing=1 to ndups=NULL and spacing=NULL, although this doesn’t change function behavior from a user point of view.

• A number of improvements to duplicateCorrelation() to make the results more robust and to make the interface consistent with lmFit(). duplicateCorrelation() sets weights same as lmFit(). Setting weights=NULL in the function call no longer overwrites weights found in object. duplicateCorrelation() now checks whether the block factor is spanned by the design matrix. If so, it returns intrablock correlations of zero with a warning. Previously this usage error was not specifically trapped and could lead to correlations that were or NA or close to 1 depending on floating point errors. duplicateCorrelation() now issues a simplified message when design is not of full rank and uses message() to do so instead of cat(). In terms of output, duplicateCorrelation() now bounds the genewise correlations away from the upper and lower bounds by 0.01 so that the correlation matrix will always be positive-definite. There is also a fix to the value returned by duplicateCorrelation() when no blocks or duplicates are present.

• New argument fc for treat() so that the fold-change threshold can optionally be specified on the fold-change scale rather than as a log2-fold-change.

• plotMDS() no longer calls cmdscale() but instead performs the necessary eigenvector computations directly. Proportion of variance explained by each dimension is now computed and is optionally added to the dimension labels. The ndim argument is now removed. All eigenvectors are now stored so that plotMDS.MDS does not need to recompute them when different dimensions are plotted.

• New arguments path and bgxpath for read.idat(). read.idat() now checks for gzipped IDAT files and, if detected, gives an informative error message. read.idat() now checks for existence of input files before calling illuminaio read functions.

Other code improvements

• The average log-expression column written by write.fit() now has column heading “AveExpr” to match the output from topTable(). The column was previously called “A”.

Documentation

• Additional documentation for the design argument of lmFit using the term “samples” instead of “arrays” and mentioning that the design matrix defaults to object$design when that component is not NULL.

• duplicateCorrelation() help page revised including new code example.

• Help page for voom() now explains that the design matrix will be set from the group factor of the DGEList object if available.

• coolmap() help page now clarifies which heatmap.2() arguments are reserved and which can be included in the coolmap call.

musicatk

             Changes in version 1.1.2 (2021-02-03)                  

RELEASE

• Added new functionality for analysis including clustering sample exposures using a variety of methods (e.g. k-means), differential exposure using a variety of methods (e.g., Wilcoxon rank-sum, Kruskal Wallis, GLM), and heatmap creation. Fixed a bug causing incorrect counting of mutations during creation of indel tables.

MutationalPatterns

             Changes in version 3.1.4

• Plot lesion segregation now has background strips.

• Improved the description in the vignette of choosing the cut-off for strict refitting.

• Fixed spelling mistakes.

             Changes in version 3.1.2
  

• Plot_lesion_segregation has been improved. It can now plot multiple samples at the same time. Users can also specify which chromosomes they want to plot. The plot now also contains colour and the ratio of the mutations on the chromosomal strands is visualised by a horizontal line per chromosome.

             Changes in version 3.1.2
  

• The plot_correlation_bootstrap output now shows less dominant colours for the absent signatures.
• The rename_nmf_signatures function now adds the “-like” suffix to renamed signatures, by default.
• The plot_river function now shows the number of mutations per sample.
• The read_vcfs_as_granges function now has a “predefined_dbs_mbs” argument, for when dbs and mbs variants are already defined in the vcfs. This prevents merging of snvs.
• The get_indel_context function now looks for repeats both to the left and to the right of the indel. Previously it only looked to the right of the indel.

• Added segmentationGATK4 to use GATK4’s segmentation function ModelSegments

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Added min.total.counts filter to filterIntervals to remove intervals with low number of read counts in combined tumor and normal. Useful especially for off-target filtering in highly efficient assays where standard filters keep too many high variance regions.

• Changed default of min.mappability in preprocessIntervals for on-target intervals to 0.6 (from 0.5)

• Added min.mappability also to filterIntervals so that more conservative cutoffs can be tested after normalDB generation

recount3

                    Changes in version 1.1.7                        

BUG FIXES

• read_counts() now reads the gene/exon counts for every sample as numeric instead of integer in order to support count values that exceed the 32bit integer threshold (such as 2447935369). Previously, read_counts() would report tiny fractions for such large numbers. This bug was reported by Christopher Wilks.

                    Changes in version 1.1.6                        
  

BUG FIXES

• Now project_homes() reads in a text file from recount3_url/organism/homes_index which enables support for custom URLs such as http://snaptron.cs.jhu.edu/data/temp/recount3test.

                    Changes in version 1.1.4                        
  

BUG FIXES

• Fixed project_homes(), available_projects() and available_samples() to support using non-standard recount3_urls where the user knows that are the project_homes() for their organism of choice. This fix enables users to create their own custom recount3-like webservers and access their data using the functions in this package. This fix introduces the argument available_homes to both available_projects() and available_samples(). This bug was reported by Christopher Wilks.

                    Changes in version 1.1.3                        
  

NEW FEATURES

• Added expand_sra_attributes() that was contributed by Andrew E Jaffe. This function expands the SRA attributes stored in a given SRA study, which makes it easier to use that data. However, it makes it harder to merge studies and thus should be used with caution.

                    Changes in version 1.1.1

• decideTestsPerLabel() now automatically detects pval.field= if not supplied.

• Added the clusterCells() wrapper around bluster functionality.

• Removed the option to pass a matrix in design= from pseudoBulkDGE().

• Migrated all normalization-related functions (computeSumFactors(), calculateSumFactors(), cleanSizeFactors() and computeSpikeFactors()) to a better home in scuttle. Soft-deprecated existing functions.

• Modified getTopHVGs() to accept a SingleCellExperiment and compute the DataFrame with modelGeneVar().

• spatialDataNames stored in int_metadata() = character vector specifying a subset of colData()

• the SPE show method does not include spatialData in colData; instead, spatialData/CoordNames are printed separately

spatialHeatmap

             Changes in version 1.1.6 (2021-05-17)                  

• The spatial heatmaps are able to maitain outline (stroke) widths defined in aSVG. The stroke widths can be updated with “update_feature”.

• Text in aSVGs can be independent from features, i.e. have separate colors, stroke widths, etc.

• Only “g”, “path”, “rect”, “ellipse”, “use”, and “title” elements are allowed in aSVG files, and other elements will raise errors or warnings. The “use” element should not in “g”, and “g” elements should not have the “transform” attribute with a “matrix” value.

• Extraction of shape coordinates includes two alternative methods. If one fails, the other will be used by default. So in most cases though some coordinates are missing due to irregular shapes, spatial heatmaps can still be created.

• Added spatiotemporal example of rice coleoptile to Shiny app and vignette.

• Downloaded gene expression data are cached.

• In “spatial_hm”, the “tis.trans” argument was replaced by “ft.trans”; width and height arguments were removed, since the spatial heatmap aspect ratio is set the same with original aSVG.

• Shiny app: the function “shiny_all” was renamed to “shiny_shm”; the app is able to take HDF5 database backend, which contains data and aSVG files, and the HDF5 database can also be uploaded on the user interface; re-organized user interface: Landing Page (includes links to different app instances), Spatial Heatmap (includes sub-tabs of Image, Interactive, Video, Matrix Heatmap, Interactive Network), Spatial Enrichment (identifies spatial feature-specific genes), About; new functionality introduced: auto-completion search box, URLs of specific app states can be bookmarked, full screen, scrolling height, tooltip, one-to-multiple re-matching of spatial features, fixed aspect ratio (SHMs are not squeezed in the case of multiple aSVGs), metadata column and link column in the data matrix; code was organized in modules, etc.

SynExtend

                   Changes in version 1.3.15                        

• Changes to concensus score in PairSummaries.

                   Changes in version 1.3.14                        
  

• Major changes to the PairSummaries function and minor changes to NucleotideOverlaps, ExtractBy, and FindSets. Adjustments to the model that PairSummaries calls on to predict PIDs.

                   Changes in version 1.3.13                        
  

• ExtractBy function has been added. Allows extraction of feature sequences into XStingSets organized by the a PairSummaries object or the single linkage clusters implied by pairings within the PairSummaries objects.

• DisjointSet function added to extract single linkage clusters from a PairSummaries object.

                   Changes in version 1.3.12                        
  

• PairSummaries now computes 4-mer distance between predicted pairs.

                   Changes in version 1.3.11                        
  

• PairSummaries now returns a column titled Adjacent that provides the number of directly adjacent neighbor pairs to a predicted pair. Gap filling code adjusted.

• The function FindSets has been added and performs single linkage clustering on a pairs list as represented by vectors of integers using the Union-Find algorithm. Long term this function will have a larger wrapper function for user ease of access but will remain exposed.

                   Changes in version 1.3.10                        
  

• NucleotideOverlap now passes it’s GeneCalls object forward, allowing PairSummaries to forego inclusion of that object as an argument.

                    Changes in version 1.3.9                        
  

• Minor vignette and suggested package changes.

                    Changes in version 1.3.8                        
  

• PairSummaries now allows users to fill in specific matching gaps in blocks of predicted pairs with the arguments AllowGaps and OffSetsAllowed.

                    Changes in version 1.3.7                        
  

• Adjustments to progress bars in both PairSummaries and NucleotideOverlap.

• PID prediction models in PairSummaries adjusted.

                    Changes in version 1.3.6                        
  

• Contig name matching has been implemented. Scheme expects users to follow NCBI contig naming and gff formats, accepting contig names from gffs directly, and removing the first whitespace and everything thereafter from FASTA headers. Contig name matching can be disabled if users wish, using the argument AcceptContigNames, but ensuring that the correct contigs in GeneCalls objects are matched to the appropriate contigs in Synteny objects are then the user’s responsibility.

                    Changes in version 1.3.5                        
  

• PairSummaries now translates sequences based on transl_table attributes provided by gene calls
• PairSummaries now uses a generic model for predicting PID

• gffToDataFrame now parses out the transl_table attribute

                    Changes in version 1.3.2                        
  

• Minor changes to NucleotideOverlap
• Major changes to PairSummaries - can now take in objects of class Genes build by the DECIPHER function FindGenes()

systemPipeShiny

                   Changes in version 1.1.40                        

Major change

• Add is_demo option: only affect workflow module right now. Lock users inside a temp folder when using the WF module and give users a new temp folder every time they refresh. This will prevent directory exist problem if many users are using a same deploy instance.

• Add welcome_guide option: whether to enable the welcome guide which highlights the guide dropdown menu.

• Rewrite welcome tab with a gallery to show all SPS features.

• loadDF, dynamicFile and dynamicFileServer added back to this mainframe work package instead of spsComps, because these dependencies have already been using in SPS. Leave these functions in spsComps will introduce extra dependencies, and these functions are not too frequently used outside the framework.
