New Software Packages

There are 89 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

• atena Quantify expression of transposable elements (TEs) from RNA-seq data through different methods, including ERVmap, TEtranscripts and Telescope. A common interface is provided to use each of these methods, which consists of building a parameter object, calling the quantification function with this object and getting a SummarizedExperiment object as output container of the quantified expression profiles. The implementation allows one to quantify TEs and gene transcripts in an integrated manner.

• benchdamic Starting from a microbiome dataset (16S or WMS with absolute count values) it is possible to perform several analysis to assess the performances of many differential abundance detection methods. A basic and standardized version of the main differential abundance analysis methods is supplied but the user can also add his method to the benchmark. The analyses focus on 4 main aspects: i) the goodness of fit of each method’s distributional assumptions on the observed count data, ii) the ability to control the false discovery rate, iii) the within and between method concordances, iv) the truthfulness of the findings if any apriori knowledge is given. Several graphical functions are available for result visualization.

• BUSseq BUSseq R package fits an interpretable Bayesian hierarchical model—the Batch Effects Correction with Unknown Subtypes for scRNA seq Data (BUSseq)—to correct batch effects in the presence of unknown cell types. BUSseq is able to simultaneously correct batch effects, clusters cell types, and takes care of the count data nature, the overdispersion, the dropout events, and the cell-specific sequencing depth of scRNA-seq data. After correcting the batch effects with BUSseq, the corrected value can be used for downstream analysis as if all cells were sequenced in a single batch. BUSseq can integrate read count matrices obtained from different scRNA-seq platforms and allow cell types to be measured in some but not all of the batches as long as the experimental design fulfills the conditions listed in our manuscript.

• cageminer This package aims to integrate GWAS-derived SNPs and coexpression networks to mine candidate genes associated with a particular phenotype. For that, users must define a set of guide genes, which are known genes involved in the studied phenotype. Additionally, the mined candidates can be given a score that favor candidates that are hubs and/or transcription factors. The scores can then be used to rank and select the top n most promising genes for downstream experiments.

DelayedTensor provides some generic function related to Tensor arithmetic/decompotision and dispatches it on the DelayedArray class. DelayedTensor also suppors Tensor contraction by einsum function, which is inspired by numpy einsum.

• Dino Dino normalizes single-cell, mRNA sequencing data to correct for technical variation, particularly sequencing depth, prior to downstream analysis. The approach produces a matrix of corrected expression for which the dependency between sequencing depth and the full distribution of normalized expression; many existing methods aim to remove only the dependency between sequencing depth and the mean of the normalized expression. This is particuarly useful in the context of highly sparse datasets such as those produced by 10X genomics and other uninque molecular identifier (UMI) based microfluidics protocols for which the depth-dependent proportion of zeros in the raw expression data can otherwise present a challenge.

• dStruct dStruct identifies differentially reactive regions from RNA structurome profiling data. dStruct is compatible with a broad range of structurome profiling technologies, e.g., SHAPE-MaP, DMS-MaPseq, Structure-Seq, SHAPE-Seq, etc. See Choudhary et al, Genome Biology, 2019 for the underlying method.

• easier This package provides a workflow for the use of EaSIeR tool, developed to assess patients’ likelihood to respond to ICB therapies providing just the patients’ RNA-seq data as input. We integrate RNA-seq data with different types of prior knowledge to extract quantitative descriptors of the tumor microenvironment from several points of view, including composition of the immune repertoire, and activity of intra- and extra-cellular communications. Then, we use multi-task machine learning trained in TCGA data to identify how these descriptors can simultaneously predict several state-of-the-art hallmarks of anti-cancer immune response. In this way we derive cancer-specific models and identify cancer-specific systems biomarkers of immune response. These biomarkers have been experimentally validated in the literature and the performance of EaSIeR predictions has been validated using independent datasets form four different cancer types with patients treated with anti-PD1 or anti-PDL1 therapy.

Furthermore, per cell, its direct neighbours are summarized to allow spatial clustering. Per image/grouping level, interactions between types of cells are counted, averaged and compared against random permutations. In that way, types of cells that interact more (attraction) or less (avoidance) frequently than expected by chance are detected.

• iPath iPath is the Bioconductor package used for calculating personalized pathway score and test the association with survival outcomes. Abundant single-gene biomarkers have been identified and used in the clinics. However, hundreds of oncogenes or tumor-suppressor genes are involved during the process of tumorigenesis. We believe individual-level expression patterns of pre-defined pathways or gene sets are better biomarkers than single genes. In this study, we devised a computational method named iPath to identify prognostic biomarker pathways, one sample at a time. To test its utility, we conducted a pan-cancer analysis across 14 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas and demonstrated that iPath is capable of identifying highly predictive biomarkers for clinical outcomes, including overall survival, tumor subtypes, and tumor stage classifications. We found that pathway-based biomarkers are more robust and effective than single genes.

• MAI A two-step approach to imputing missing data in metabolomics. Step 1 uses a random forest classifier to classify missing values as either Missing Completely at Random/Missing At Random (MCAR/MAR) or Missing Not At Random (MNAR). MCAR/MAR are combined because it is often difficult to distinguish these two missing types in metabolomics data. Step 2 imputes the missing values based on the classified missing mechanisms, using the appropriate imputation algorithms. Imputation algorithms tested and available for MCAR/MAR include Bayesian Principal Component Analysis (BPCA), Multiple Imputation No-Skip K-Nearest Neighbors (Multi_nsKNN), and Random Forest.

• ODER The aim of ODER is to identify previously unannotated expressed regions (ERs) using RNA-sequencing data. For this purpose, ODER defines and optimises the definition of ERs, then connected these ERs to genes using junction data. In this way, ODER improves gene annotation. Gene annotation is a staple input of many bioinformatic pipelines and a more complete gene annotation can enable more accurate interpretation of disease associated variants.

It also provides various utility functions to map common objects (e.g. data.frames, gene expression matrices, lists) onto 1:1 gene orthologs from any other species.

• pairkat PaIRKAT is model framework for assessing statistical relationships between networks of metabolites (pathways) and an outcome of interest (phenotype). PaIRKAT queries the KEGG database to determine interactions between metabolites from which network connectivity is constructed. This model framework improves testing power on high dimensional data by including graph topography in the kernel machine regression setting. Studies on high dimensional data can struggle to include the complex relationships between variables. The semi-parametric kernel machine regression model is a powerful tool for capturing these types of relationships. They provide a framework for testing for relationships between outcomes of interest and high dimensional data such as metabolomic, genomic, or proteomic pathways. PaIRKAT uses known biological connections between high dimensional variables by representing them as edges of ‘graphs’ or ‘networks.’ It is common for nodes (e.g. metabolites) to be disconnected from all others within the graph, which leads to meaningful decreases in testing power whether or not the graph information is included. We include a graph regularization or ‘smoothing’ approach for managing this issue.

Individual functions are also accessible and provide custom analysis capabilities. Finally an HTML report is generated with report().

• rmspc The rmspc package runs MSPC (Multiple Sample Peak Calling) software using R. The analysis of ChIP-seq samples outputs a number of enriched regions (commonly known as “peaks”), each indicating a protein-DNA interaction or a specific chromatin modification. When replicate samples are analyzed, overlapping peaks are expected. This repeated evidence can therefore be used to locally lower the minimum significance required to accept a peak. MSPC uses combined evidence from replicated experiments to evaluate peak calling output, rescuing peaks, and reduce false positives. It takes any number of replicates as input and improves sensitivity and specificity of peak calling on each, and identifies consensus regions between the input samples.

• scShapes We present a novel statistical framework for identifying differential distributions in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data between treatment conditions by modeling gene expression read counts using generalized linear models (GLMs). We model each gene independently under each treatment condition using error distributions Poisson (P), Negative Binomial (NB), Zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) and Zero-inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) with log link function and model based normalization for differences in sequencing depth. Since all four distributions considered in our framework belong to the same family of distributions, we first perform a Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test to select genes belonging to the family of ZINB distributions. Genes passing the KS test will be then modeled using GLMs. Model selection is done by calculating the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic.

• spiky spiky implements methods and model generation for cfMeDIP (cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation) with spike-in controls. CfMeDIP is an enrichment protocol which avoids destructive conversion of scarce template, making it ideal as a “liquid biopsy,” but creating certain challenges in comparing results across specimens, subjects, and experiments. The use of synthetic spike-in standard oligos allows diagnostics performed with cfMeDIP to quantitatively compare samples across subjects, experiments, and time points in both relative and absolute terms.

• surfaltr Cell surface proteins form a major fraction of the druggable proteome and can be used for tissue-specific delivery of oligonucleotide/cell-based therapeutics. Alternatively spliced surface protein isoforms have been shown to differ in their subcellular localization and/or their transmembrane (TM) topology. Surface proteins are hydrophobic and remain difficult to study thereby necessitating the use of TM topology prediction methods such as TMHMM and Phobius. However, there exists a need for bioinformatic approaches to streamline batch processing of isoforms for comparing and visualizing topologies. To address this gap, we have developed an R package, surfaltr. It pairs inputted isoforms, either known alternatively spliced or novel, with their APPRIS annotated principal counterparts, predicts their TM topologies using TMHMM or Phobius, and generates a customizable graphical output. Further, surfaltr facilitates the prioritization of biologically diverse isoform pairs through the incorporation of three different ranking metrics and through protein alignment functions. Citations for programs mentioned here can be found in the vignette.

The primary functions of the software can i) identify cells in meiotic prophase that are labelled by a synaptonemal complex axis or central element protein, ii) isolate individual synaptonemal complexes and measure their physical length, iii) quantify foci and co-localise them with synaptonemal complexes, iv) measure interference between synaptonemal complex-associated foci. The software has applications that extend to multiple species and to the analysis of other proteins that label meiotic prophase chromosomes. The software converts meiotic immunofluorescence images into R data frames that are compatible with machine learning methods. Given a set of microscopy images of meiotic spread slides, synapsis crops images around individual single cells, counts colocalising foci on strands on a per cell basis, and measures the distance between foci on any given strand.

• tanggle Offers functions for plotting split (or implicit) networks (unrooted, undirected) and explicit networks (rooted, directed) with reticulations extending. ‘ggtree’ and using functions from ‘ape’ and ‘phangorn’. It extends the ‘ggtree’ package [@Yu2017] to allow the visualization of phylogenetic networks using the ‘ggplot2’ syntax. It offers an alternative to the plot functions already available in ‘ape’ Paradis and Schliep (2019) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bty633> and ‘phangorn’ Schliep (2011) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq706>.

• TargetDecoy A first step in the data analysis of Mass Spectrometry (MS) based proteomics data is to identify peptides and proteins. With this respect the huge number of experimental mass spectra typically have to be assigned to theoretical peptides derived from a sequence database. Search engines are used for this purpose. These tools compare each of the observed spectra to all candidate theoretical spectra derived from the sequence data base and calculate a score for each comparison. The observed spectrum is then assigned to the theoretical peptide with the best score, which is also referred to as the peptide to spectrum match (PSM). It is of course crucial for the downstream analysis to evaluate the quality of these matches. Therefore False Discovery Rate (FDR) control is used to return a reliable list PSMs. The FDR, however, requires a good characterisation of the score distribution of PSMs that are matched to the wrong peptide (bad target hits). In proteomics, the target decoy approach (TDA) is typically used for this purpose. The TDA method matches the spectra to a database of real (targets) and nonsense peptides (decoys). A popular approach to generate these decoys is to reverse the target database. Hence, all the PSMs that match to a decoy are known to be bad hits and the distribution of their scores are used to estimate the distribution of the bad scoring target PSMs. A crucial assumption of the TDA is that the decoy PSM hits have similar properties as bad target hits so that the decoy PSM scores are a good simulation of the target PSM scores. Users, however, typically do not evaluate these assumptions. To this end we developed TargetDecoy to generate diagnostic plots to evaluate the quality of the target decoy method.

• transformGamPoi Variance-stabilizing transformations help with the analysis of heteroskedastic data (i.e., data where the variance is not constant, like count data). This package provide two types of variance stabilizing transformations: (1) methods based on the delta method (e.g., ‘acosh’, ‘log(x+1)’), (2) model residual based (Pearson and randomized quantile residuals).

• traviz traviz provides a suite of functions to plot trajectory related objects from Bioconductor packages.

Furthermore, it allows for visualization of Slingshot trajectories using ggplot2.

• TRESS This package is devoted to analyzing MeRIP-seq data. Current functionality is for detection of transcriptome-wide m6A methylation regions. The method is based on hierarchical negative binomial models.

• tripr TRIP is a software framework that provides analytics services on antigen receptor (B cell receptor immunoglobulin, BcR IG | T cell receptor, TR) gene sequence data. It is a web application written in R Shiny. It takes as input the output files of the IMGT/HighV-Quest tool. Users can select to analyze the data from each of the input samples separately, or the combined data files from all samples and visualize the results accordingly.

• txcutr Various mRNA sequencing library preparation methods generate sequencing reads specifically from the transcript ends. Analyses that focus on quantification of isoform usage from such data can be aided by using truncated versions of transcriptome annotations, both at the alignment or pseudo-alignment stage, as well as in downstream analysis. This package implements some convenience methods for readily generating such truncated annotations and their corresponding sequences.

• VAExprs A fundamental problem in biomedical research is the low number of observations, mostly due to a lack of available biosamples, prohibitive costs, or ethical reasons. By augmenting a few real observations with artificially generated samples, their analysis could lead to more robust and higher reproducible. One possible solution to the problem is the use of generative models, which are statistical models of data that attempt to capture the entire probability distribution from the observations. Using the variational autoencoder (VAE), a well-known deep generative model, this package is aimed to generate samples with gene expression data, especially for single-cell RNA-seq data. Furthermore, the VAE can use conditioning to produce specific cell types or subpopulations. The conditional VAE (CVAE) allows us to create targeted samples rather than completely random ones.

• veloviz VeloViz uses each cell’s current observed and predicted future transcriptional states inferred from RNA velocity analysis to build a nearest neighbor graph between cells in the population. Edges are then pruned based on a cosine correlation threshold and/or a distance threshold and the resulting graph is visualized using a force-directed graph layout algorithm. VeloViz can help ensure that relationships between cell states are reflected in the 2D embedding, allowing for more reliable representation of underlying cellular trajectories.

• (v 1.27.5) Use of random numbers is robust to the distribution of jobs across tasks for SerialParam(), SnowParam(), and MulticoreParam(), for both bplapply() and bpiterate(), using the RNGseed= argument to each *Param(). The change is NOT backward compatible – users wishing to exactly reproduce earlier results should use a previous version of the package.

• (v 1.27.8) Standardize SerialParam() construct to enable setting additional fields. Standardize coercion of other BiocParallelParam types (e.g., SnowParam(), MulticoreParam()) to SerialParam() with as(., “SerialParam”).

• (v. 1.27.9) By defualt, do not only run garbage collection after every call to FUN(), except under MulticoreParam(). R’s garbage collection algorithm only fails to do well when forked processes (i.e., MulticoreParam) assume that they are the only consumers of process memory.

• (v 1.27.11) Developer-oriented functions bploop.*() arguments changed.

• (v 1.27.12) Ignore set.seed() and never increment the global random number stream. This reverts a side-effect of behavior introduced in v. 1.27.5 to behavior more consistent with version 1.26.

• (v 1.27.16) Better BPREDO support for previously started BPPARAM, and ‘transient’ BPPARAM without RNGseed.

BUG FIXES

• (v 1.27.10) Typo in coercion to SerialParam when only a single worker specified. https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocParallel/issues/151

dittoSeq

                     Changes in version 1.6                         

• Vignette Update: Added a ‘Quick-Reference: Seurat<=>dittoSeq’ section.
• Build & Test Infrastructure Update: Removed Seurat dependency from all build and test materials by removing Seurat code from the vignette and making all unit-testing of Seurat interactions conditional on both presence of Seurat and successful SCE to Seurat cnversion.

• Bug Fixes:

  1. Fixed dittoFreqPlot calculation machinery to properly target all cell types but only necessary groupings for every sample. Removed the ‘retain.factor.levels’ input because proper calculations treat ‘var’-data as a factor, and groupings data as non-factor.
  2. Allowed dittoHeatmap() to properly ‘drop_levels’ of annotations by ensuring ‘annotation_colors’ is not populated with colors for empty levels which would be dropped. 3- Made ‘do.label’ machinery of scatter plots robust to NAs.

                    Changes in version 2.0.0                        

• New loadFry() function, written by Dongze He with contributions from Steve Lianoglou and Wes Wilson. loadFry() helps users to import and process alevin-fry quantification results. Can process spliced, unspliced and ambiguous counts separately and flexibly. Has specific output formats designed for downstream use with scVelo or velocity analysis. See ?loadFry for more details.

• Adding correlation tests: Spearman or Pearson correlations of a numeric covariate with the log counts, or with the log fold changes across pairs. The Spearman correlation test with counts was already implemented in the original SAMseq method as response type = “Quantitative”. For new functionality see ‘cor’ argument in the ?swish man page.

• Adding importAllelicCounts() to facilitate importing Salmon quantification data against a diploid transcriptome. Can import either as a ‘wide’ format or as ‘assays’. Leverages tximeta(). For gene-level summarization, importAllelicCounts() can create an appropriate tx2gene table with the necessary a1 and a2 suffices, and it will automatically set txOut=FALSE, see ?importAllelicCounts for more details.

• Added a ‘q’ argument to plotInfReps to change the intervals when making point and line plots.

• Switched the legend of plotInfReps so that reference levels will now be on the bottom, and non-reference (e.g. treatment) on top.

                   Changes in version 1.99.18

• 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.

PureCN

                    Changes in version 2.0.0                        

NEW FEATURES

• Report median absolute pairwise difference (MAPD) of tumor vs normal log2 ratios in runAbsoluteCN

• Improved mapping bias estimates: variants with insufficient information for position-specific fits (default 3-6 heterozygous variants) are clustered and assigned to the most similar fit

• Make Cosmic.CNT INFO field name customizable

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Cleanup of naming of command line arguments (will throw lots of deprecated warnings, but was long overdue)

• More robust alignment of on- and off-target tumor vs normal log2 ratios. Ratios are shifted so that median difference of neighboring on/off-target pairs is 0. This should fix spurious segments consisting of only on- or off-target regions in high quality samples where those minor off-sets sometimes exceeded the noise.

• Added min.variants argument to runAbsoluteCN

• Added PureCN version to runAbsoluteCN results object (ret$version)

• Addressed observed over-segmentations in very clean data:
  • Do not attempt two-step segmentation in PSCBS when off-target noise is still very small (< 0.15, min.logr.sdev in runAbsoluteCN)
  • Increase automatically determined undo.SD in all segmentation functions when noise is very small (< min.logr.sdev)
  • min.logr.sdev is now accessible in PureCN.R via –min-logr-sdev

• Added pairwise sample distances to normalDB output object helpful for finding noisy samples or batches in normal databases

• Do not error out readCurationFile when CSV is missing and directory is not writable when re-generating it (#196)

• Add segmentation parameters as attributes to segmentation data.frame

• Added min.betafit.rho and max.betafit.rho to calculateMappingBias*

• Made –normal_panel in PureCN.R defunct

QDNAseq

             Changes in version 1.29.6 (2021-10-23)                 

BUG FIXES

             Changes in version 1.29.5 (2021-10-20)                 
  

PERFORMANCE

             Changes in version 1.29.4 (2021-10-16)                 
  

DOCUMENTATION

• Vignette now illustrate parallelization using the ‘multisession’ future strategy, instead of the deprecated ‘multiprocess’ strategy.

DEPRECATION AND DEFUNCT

• Argument ‘seeds’ of segmentBins() is defunct. It has been deprecated and ignored since QDNAseq 1.21.3 (September 2019).

             Changes in version 1.29.3 (2021-10-04)                 
  

NEW FEATURES

• Now argument ‘logTransform’ of exportBins() is ignored if ‘type’ = “calls”.

• Now exportBins() returns the pathname to the files written.

SOFTWARE QUALITY

• Test code coverage was increased from 42% to 52%.

• Add package test for exportBins().

BUG FIXES

• exportBins(fit, format = “seg”, …) and format = “vcf” would merge segments with equal copy-number calls if they were interweaved with copy-neutral segments.

• exportBins(fit, format = “seg”, …) and format = “vcf” produced an obscure error with messages “Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : length of ‘dimnames’ 2 not equal to array extent” for samples with no copy-number abberations.

• exportBins(fit, format = “seg”, file = …) and format = “vcf” did not respect argument ‘file’ but instead wrote files of its own names to the current working directory.

• exportBins() would corrupt option ‘scipen’. Now it is left unchanged.

KNOWN ISSUES

• callBins() produces warnings on “Recycling array of length 1 in vector- array arithmetic is deprecated. Use c() or as.vector() instead.” in R (>= 3.4.0). This is a problem in the package ‘CGHcall’ dependency and is something that needs to be fixed there. For further details, please see https://github.com/tgac-vumc/CGHcall/issues/2.

sparrow

                     Changes in version 1.0                         

Enhancements

• Released to Bioconductor
• Adds support for use of BiocSet as a means by which users can bring their genesets to – or take them from – sparrow.
• Improvements to the corplot() functionality contributed by by Arkadiusz Gladki (@gladki). Users can specify the size of the text reported in the bottom half of the pair plot, and spurious/annoying warnings that were produced after a a totally valid call are no longer produced.

Breaking Changes from Pre-release

• First two parameters in ora() function have been swapped so that the first parameter (x) is the object (data.frame) to run an over representation analysis against, and the second parameter is the GeneSetDb.
• scoreSingleSamples no longer drops features in y that are not found in the GeneSetDb used for scoring. This was changed so that gsva and ssGSEA scores match the scores produced by a normal GSVA::gsva call. You can set the drop.unconformed = TRUE to retain the older behavior.

universalmotif

                   Changes in version 1.12.0                        

NEW FEATURES

• New function, sequence_complexity(): Using either the Wootton-Federhen, Trifonov, or DUST algorithms, calculate sequence complexity in sliding windows. A version for small arbitrary strings is also provided: calc_complexity().

• New function, mask_ranges(): Similarly to mask_seqs(), mask specific positions in a XStringSet object by replacing the letters with a specific filler character.

• New function, motif_range(): Get the min/max range of possible logodds scores for a motif.

• New function, calc_windows(): Utility function for calculating coordinates for sliding windows.

• New function, window_string(): Utility function for retrieving sliding windows in a string.

• New function, slide_fun(): Utility function which wraps window_string() and vapply() together.

• motif_pvalue(method): P-values and scores can now be calculated dynamically instead of exhaustively, substantially increasing both speed and accuracy for bigger jobs. The previous exhaustive method can still be used however, as the dynamic method does not allow non-finite values and thus must be pseudocount-adjusted.

• scan_sequences(calc.pvals, calc.qvals, motif_pvalue.method, calc.qvals.method): The calc.pvals argument defaults to TRUE. The P-value calculation method now defaults to dynamic P-values (the previous method was an exhaustive calculation), though this can be changed via motif_pvalue.method. Additionally, adjusted P-values can be calculated as either BH, FDR or a Bonferroni-adjusted P-value. More details can be found in the Sequence Searches vignette.

• write_homer(threshold, threshold.type): Finer control over the final motif logodds threshold included with the written motif is now available, using the style of argument parsing from scan_sequences(). The previous logodds_threshold argument is now deprecated and set to NULL, but if set (e.g. an older script is being re-run) then the old behaviour of write_homer() will be used.

MINOR CHANGES

• New global option, options(pseudocount.warning): Disable the message printed when a motif is pseudocount-adjusted.

• Slight performance gains in get_bkg() window code.

• motif_pvalue(): Clarify that, indeed, background probabilities are taken into account when calculating P-values from score inputs. The background adjustment takes place during the initial conversion to PWM.

• motif_pvalue(): When bkg.probs are provided, use those when converting to a PWM.

• scan_sequences(): The default threshold is now 0.0001 (using threshold.type = “pvalue”).

• The axis text in view_motifs() is now black instead of grey.

• create_motif(): When a named background vector is provided, it is sorted according to the alphabet characters.

• scan_sequences(): Check that the sequences aren’t shorter than the motifs.

• print.universalmotif_df: Changed warning message when subsetting to an incomplete universalmotif_df object. Also added a way to turn off informative messages/warnings via the boolean universalmotif_df.warning global option.

• Miscellaneous changes and additions to the vignettes and various function manual pages.

                   Changes in version 1.10.2
