New Software Packages

There are 95 new packages in this release of Bioconductor.

AIMS - This package contains the AIMS implementation. It contains necessary functions to assign the five intrinsic molecular subtypes (Luminal A, Luminal B, Her2-enriched, Basal-like, Normal-like). Assignments could be done on individual samples as well as on dataset of gene expression data.

AnalysisPageServer - AnalysisPageServer is a modular system that enables sharing of customizable R analyses via the web.

bamsignals - This package allows to efficiently obtain count vectors from indexed bam files. It counts the number of reads in given genomic ranges and it computes reads profiles and coverage profiles. It also handles paired-end data.

BEclear - Provides some functions to detect and correct for batch effects in DNA methylation data. The core function “BEclear” is based on latent factor models and can also be used to predict missing values in any other matrix containing real numbers.

birte - Expression levels of mRNA molecules are regulated by different processes, comprising inhibition or activation by transcription factors and post-transcriptional degradation by microRNAs. biRte uses regulatory networks of TFs, miRNAs and possibly other factors, together with mRNA, miRNA and other available expression data to predict the relative influence of a regulator on the expression of its target genes. Inference is done in a Bayesian modeling framework using Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo. A special feature is the possibility for follow-up network reverse engineering between active regulators.

BrowserViz - Interactvive graphics in a web browser from R, using websockets and JSON

BrowserVizDemo - A BrowserViz subclassing example, xy plotting in the browser using d3

BubbleTree - BubbleTree utilizes homogenous pertinent somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) as markers of tumor clones to extract estimates of tumor ploidy, purity and clonality.

canceR - The package is user friendly interface based on the cgdsr and other modeling packages to explore, compare, and analyse all available Cancer Data (Clinical data, Gene Mutation, Gene Methylation, Gene Expression, Protein Phosphorylation, Copy Number Alteration) hosted by the Computational Biology Center at Memorial-Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).

CAnD - Functions to perform the non-parametric and parametric CAnD tests on a set of ancestry proportions. For a particular ancestral subpopulation, a user will supply the estimated ancestry proportion for each sample, and each chromosome or chromosomal segment of interest. A p-value for each chromosome as well as an overall CAnD p-value will be returned for each test. Plotting functions are also available.

Cardinal - Implements statistical & computational tools for analyzing mass spectrometry imaging datasets, including methods for efficient pre-processing, spatial segmentation, and classification.

chromDraw - Package chromDraw is a simple package for linear and circular type of karyotype visualization. The linear type of visualization is usually used for demonstrating chromosomes structures in karyotype and the circular type of visualization is used for comparing of karyotypes between each other. This tool has own input data format or genomicRanges structure can be used as input. Each chromosome containing definition of blocks and centromere position. Output file formats are *.eps and *.svg.

Clonality - Statistical tests for clonality versus independence of tumors from the same patient based on their LOH or genomewide copy number profiles

CODEX - A normalization and copy number variation calling procedure for whole exome DNA sequencing data. CODEX relies on the availability of multiple samples processed using the same sequencing pipeline for normalization, and does not require matched controls. The normalization model in CODEX includes terms that specifically remove biases due to GC content, exon length and targeting and amplification efficiency, and latent systemic artifacts. CODEX also includes a Poisson likelihood-based recursive segmentation procedure that explicitly models the count-based exome sequencing data.

cogena - Description: Gene set enrichment analysis is a valuable tool for the study of molecular mechanisms that underpin complex biological traits. As the method is conventionally used on entire omic datasets, such as transcriptomes, it may be dominated by pathways and processes that are substantially represented in a dataset, however the approach may overlook smaller scale, but highly correlated cellular events that may be of great biological relevance. In order to detect these discrete molecular triggers, we developed a tool, co-expressed gene-set enrichment analysis (cogena), for clustering differentially expressed genes and identification of highly correlated molecular expression clusters. Cogena offers the user a range of clustering methods, including hierarchical clustering, model based clustering and self-organised mapping, based on different distance metrics like correlation and mutual information. After obtaining and visualising clusters, cogena performs gene set enrichment. These gene sets can be sourced from the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) or user-defined gene sets. By performing gene set enrichment across expression clusters, we find considerable enhancement in the resolution of molecular signatures in omic data at the cluster level compared to the whole.

coMET - Visualisation of EWAS results in a genomic region. In addition to phenotype-association P-values, coMET also generates plots of co-methylation patterns and provides a series of annotation tracks. It can be used to other omic-wide association scans as long as the data can be translated to genomic level and for any species.

ComplexHeatmap - Complex heatmaps are efficient to visualize associations between different sources of data sets and reveal potential features. Here the ComplexHeatmap package provides a highly flexible way to arrange multiple heatmaps and supports self-defined annotation graphics.

conumee - This package contains a set of processing and plotting methods for performing copy-number variation (CNV) analysis using Illumina 450k methylation arrays.

CopywriteR - CopywriteR generate DNA copy number profiles from whole exome sequencing by analysing the offtarget sequence reads. By exploiting the offtarget sequence reads, it allows for creation of robust copy number profiles from WES with a uniform read depth and evenly distributed data points over the genome.

cpvSNP - Gene set analysis methods exist to combine SNP-level association p-values into gene sets, calculating a single association p-value for each gene set. This package implements two such methods that require only the calculated SNP p-values, the gene set(s) of interest, and a correlation matrix (if desired). One method (GLOSSI) requires independent SNPs and the other (VEGAS) can take into account correlation (LD) among the SNPs. Built-in plotting functions are available to help users visualize results.

cytofkit - An integrated mass cytometry data analysis pipeline that enables simultaneous illustration of cellular diversity and progression.

diffHic - Detects differential interactions across biological conditions in a Hi-C experiment. Methods are provided for read alignment and data pre-processing into interaction counts. Statistical analysis is based on edgeR and supports normalization and filtering. Several visualization options are also available.

diggit - Inference of Genetic Variants Driving Cellullar Phenotypes by the DIGGIT algorithm

DMRcaller - Uses Bisulfite sequencing data in two conditions and identifies differentially methylated regions between the conditions in CG and non-CG context. The input is the CX report files produced by Bismark and the output is a list of DMRs stored as GRanges objects.

edge - The edge package implements methods for carrying out differential expression analyses of genome-wide gene expression studies. Significance testing using the optimal discovery procedure and generalized likelihood ratio tests (equivalent to F-tests and t-tests) are implemented for general study designs. Special functions are available to facilitate the analysis of common study designs, including time course experiments. Other packages such as snm, sva, and qvalue are integrated in edge to provide a wide range of tools for gene expression analysis.

EMDomics - The EMDomics algorithm is used to perform a supervised two-class analysis to measure the magnitude and statistical significance of observed continuous genomics data between two groups. Usually the data will be gene expression values from array-based or sequence-based experiments, but data from other types of experiments can also be analyzed (e.g. copy number variation). Traditional methods like Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) and Linear Models for Microarray Data (LIMMA) use significance tests based on summary statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the two distributions. This approach lacks power to identify expression differences between groups that show high levels of intra-group heterogeneity. The Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) algorithm instead computes the “work” needed to transform one distribution into the other, thus providing a metric of the overall difference in shape between two distributions. Permutation of sample labels is used to generate q-values for the observed EMD scores.

ENCODExplorer - This package allows user to quickly access ENCODE project files metadata and give access to helper functions to query the ENCODE rest api, download ENCODE datasets and save the database in SQLite format.

ENmix - Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip has a complex array design, and the measurement is subject to experimental variations. The ENmix R package provides tools for low level data preprocessing to improve data quality. It incorporates a model based background correction method ENmix, and functions for inter-array quantile normalization, data quality checking, exploration of multimodally distributed CpGs and source of data variation. To support large scale data analysis, the package also provides multi-processor parallel computing wrappers for some commonly used data preprocessing methods, such as BMIQ probe design type bias correction and ComBat batch effect correction.

ensembldb - The package provides functions to create and use transcript centric annotation databases/packages. The annotation for the databases are directly fetched from Ensembl using their Perl API. The functionality and data is similar to that of the TxDb packages from the GenomicFeatures package, but, in addition to retrieve all gene/transcript models and annotations from the database, the ensembldb package provides also a filter framework allowing to retrieve annotations for specific entries like genes encoded on a chromosome region or transcript models of lincRNA genes.

FISHalyseR - FISHalyseR provides functionality to process and analyse digital cell culture images, in particular to quantify FISH probes within nuclei. Furthermore, it extract the spatial location of each nucleus as well as each probe enabling spatial co-localisation analysis.

It is suited for large-scale datasets, especially for data which are much larger than the available random-access memory. The gdsfmt package offers the efficient operations specifically designed for integers with less than 8 bits, since a single genetic/genomic variant, like single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), usually occupies fewer bits than a byte. Data compression and decompression are also supported with relatively efficient random access. It is allowed to read a GDS file in parallel with multiple R processes supported by the package parallel.

GENESIS - The GENESIS package provides methodology for estimating, inferring, and accounting for population and pedigree structure in genetic analyses. The current implementation provides functions to perform PC-AiR (Conomos et al., 2015): a Principal Components Analysis with genome-wide SNP genotype data for robust population structure inference in samples with related individuals (known or cryptic).

genomation - A package for summary and annotation of genomic intervals. Users can visualize and quantify genomic intervals over pre-defined functional regions, such as promoters, exons, introns, etc. The genomic intervals represent regions with a defined chromosome position, which may be associated with a score, such as aligned reads from HT-seq experiments, TF binding sites, methylation scores, etc. The package can use any tabular genomic feature data as long as it has minimal information on the locations of genomic intervals. In addition, It can use BAM or BigWig files as input.

gespeR - Estimates gene-specific phenotypes from off-target confounded RNAi screens. The phenotype of each siRNA is modeled based on on-targeted and off-targeted genes, using a regularized linear regression model.

gtrellis - Genome level Trellis graph visualizes genomic data conditioned by genomic categories (e.g. chromosomes). For each genomic category, multiple dimensional data which are represented as tracks describe different features from different aspects. This package provides high flexibility to arrange genomic categories and add self-defined graphics in the plot.

HIBAG - It is a software package for imputing HLA types using SNP data, and relies on a training set of HLA and SNP genotypes. HIBAG can be used by researchers with published parameter estimates instead of requiring access to large training sample datasets. It combines the concepts of attribute bagging, an ensemble classifier method, with haplotype inference for SNPs and HLA types. Attribute bagging is a technique which improves the accuracy and stability of classifier ensembles using bootstrap aggregating and random variable selection.

immunoClust - Model based clustering and meta-clustering of Flow Cytometry Data

InPAS - Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is one of the important post-transcriptional regulation mechanism which occurs in most human genes. InPAS, developed form DaPars algorithm, predicts and estimates APA and cleavage sites for mRNA-seq data. It uses the power of cleanUpdTSeq to adjust cleavage sites.

IVAS - Identification of genetic variants affecting alternative splicing.

LEA - LEA is an R package dedicated to landscape genomics and ecological association tests. LEA can run analyses of population structure and genome scans for local adaptation. It includes statistical methods for estimating ancestry coefficients from large genotypic matrices and evaluating the number of ancestral populations (snmf, pca); and identifying genetic polymorphisms that exhibit high correlation with some environmental gradient or with the variables used as proxies for ecological pressures (lfmm), and controlling the false discovery rate. LEA is mainly based on optimized C programs that can scale with the dimension of very large data sets.

PROPER - This package provide simulation based methods for evaluating the statistical power in differential expression analysis from RNA-seq data.

ProtGenerics - S4 generic functions needed by Bioconductor proteomics packages.

pwOmics - pwOmics performs pathway-based level-specific data comparison of matching omics data sets based on pre-analysed user-specified lists of differential genes/transcripts and proteins. A separate downstream analysis of proteomic data including pathway identification and enrichment analysis, transcription factor identification and target gene identification is opposed to the upstream analysis starting with gene or transcript information as basis for identification of upstream transcription factors and regulators. The cross-platform comparative analysis allows for comprehensive analysis of single time point experiments and time-series experiments by providing static and dynamic analysis tools for data integration.

QuartPAC - Identifies clustering of somatic mutations in proteins over the entire quaternary structure.

R3CPET - The package provides a method to infer the set of proteins that are more probably to work together to maintain chormatin interaction given a ChIA-PET experiment results.

RBM - Use A Resampling-Based Empirical Bayes Approach to Assess Differential Expression in Two-Color Microarrays and RNA-Seq data sets.

rcellminer - The NCI-60 cancer cell line panel has been used over the course of several decades as an anti-cancer drug screen. This panel was developed as part of the Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP, http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/) of the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI). Thousands of compounds have been tested on the NCI-60, which have been extensively characterized by many platforms for gene and protein expression, copy number, mutation, and others (Reinhold, et al., 2012). The purpose of the CellMiner project (http://discover.nci.nih.gov/cellminer) has been to integrate data from multiple platforms used to analyze the NCI-60 and to provide a powerful suite of tools for exploration of NCI-60 data.

RCyjs - Interactvive viewing and exploration of graphs, connecting R to Cytoscape.js

regioneR - regioneR offers a statistical framework based on customizable permutation tests to assess the association between genomic region sets and other genomic features.

rGREAT - This package makes GREAT (Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool) analysis automatic by constructing a HTTP POST request according to user’s input and automatically retrieving results from GREAT web server.

rgsepd - R/GSEPD is a bioinformatics package for R to help disambiguate transcriptome samples (a matrix of RNA-Seq counts at RefSeq IDs) by automating differential expression (with DESeq2), then gene set enrichment (with GOSeq), and finally a N-dimensional projection to quantify in which ways each sample is like either treatment group.

Rhtslib - This package provides version 1.1 of the ‘HTSlib’ C library for high-throughput sequence analysis. The package is primarily useful to developers of other R packages who wish to make use of HTSlib. Motivation and instructions for use of this package are in the vignette, vignette(package=”Rhtslib”, “Rhtslib”).

RNAprobR - This package facilitates analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data for which positional information with a single nucleotide resolution is a key. It allows for applying different types of relevant normalizations, data visualization and export in a table or UCSC compatible bedgraph file.

RnaSeqSampleSize - RnaSeqSampleSize package provides a sample size calculation method based on negative binomial model and the exact test for assessing differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data

RnBeads - RnBeads facilitates comprehensive analysis of various types of DNA methylation data at the genome scale.

RUVcorr - RUVcorr allows to apply global removal of unwanted variation (ridged version) to real and simulated gene expression data.

saps - Functions implementing the Significance Analysis of Prognostic Signatures method (SAPS). SAPS provides a robust method for identifying biologically significant gene sets associated with patient survival. Three basic statistics are computed. First, patients are clustered into two survival groups based on differential expression of a candidate gene set. P_pure is calculated as the probability of no survival difference between the two groups. Next, the same procedure is applied to randomly generated gene sets, and P_random is calculated as the proportion achieving a P_pure as significant as the candidate gene set. Finally, a pre-ranked Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is performed by ranking all genes by concordance index, and P_enrich is computed to indicate the degree to which the candidate gene set is enriched for genes with univariate prognostic significance. A SAPS_score is calculated to summarize the three statistics, and optionally a Q-value is computed to estimate the significance of the SAPS_score by calculating SAPS_scores for random gene sets.

SELEX - Tools for quantifying DNA binding specificities based on SELEX-seq data

seq2pathway - Seq2pathway is a novel tool for functional gene-set (or termed as pathway) analysis of next-generation sequencing data, consisting of “seq2gene” and “gene2path” components. The seq2gene links sequence-level measurements of genomic regions (including SNPs or point mutation coordinates) to gene-level scores, and the gene2pathway summarizes gene scores to pathway-scores for each sample. The seq2gene has the feasibility to assign both coding and non-exon regions to a broader range of neighboring genes than only the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding regions. The gene2pathway takes into account the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway compared those outside a pathway. The output of seq2pathway is a general structure of quantitative pathway-level scores, thus allowing one to functional interpret such datasets as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, GWAS, and derived from other next generational sequencing experiments.

seqPattern - Visualising oligonucleotide patterns and sequence motifs occurrences across a large set of sequences centred at a common reference point and sorted by a user defined feature.

sigsquared - By leveraging statistical properties (log-rank test for survival) of patient cohorts defined by binary thresholds, poor-prognosis patients are identified by the sigsquared package via optimization over a cost function reducing type I and II error.

SIMAT - This package provides a pipeline for analysis of GC-MS data acquired in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The tool also provides a guidance in choosing appropriate fragments for the targets of interest by using an optimization algorithm. This is done by considering overlapping peaks from a provided library by the user.

similaRpeak - This package calculates metrics which assign a level of similarity between ChIP-Seq profiles.

sincell - Cell differentiation processes are achieved through a continuum of hierarchical intermediate cell-states that might be captured by single-cell RNA seq. Existing computational approaches for the assessment of cell-state hierarchies from single-cell data might be formalized under a general workflow composed of i) a metric to assess cell-to-cell similarities (combined or not with a dimensionality reduction step), and ii) a graph-building algorithm (optionally making use of a cells-clustering step). Sincell R package implements a methodological toolbox allowing flexible workflows under such framework. Furthermore, Sincell contributes new algorithms to provide cell-state hierarchies with statistical support while accounting for stochastic factors in single-cell RNA seq. Graphical representations and functional association tests are provided to interpret hierarchies.

skewr - The skewr package is a tool for visualizing the output of the Illumina Human Methylation 450k BeadChip to aid in quality control. It creates a panel of nine plots. Six of the plots represent the density of either the methylated intensity or the unmethylated intensity given by one of three subsets of the 485,577 total probes. These subsets include Type I-red, Type I-green, and Type II.The remaining three distributions give the density of the Beta-values for these same three subsets. Each of the nine plots optionally displays the distributions of the “rs” SNP probes and the probes associated with imprinted genes as series of ‘tick’ marks located above the x-axis.

soGGi - The soGGi package provides a toolset to create genomic interval aggregate/summary plots of signal or motif occurence from BAM and bigWig files as well as PWM, rlelist, GRanges and GAlignments Bioconductor objects. soGGi allows for normalisation, transformation and arithmetic operation on and between summary plot objects as well as grouping and subsetting of plots by GRanges objects and user supplied metadata. Plots are created using the GGplot2 libary to allow user defined manipulation of the returned plot object. Coupled together, soGGi features a broad set of methods to visualise genomics data in the context of groups of genomic intervals such as genes, superenhancers and transcription factor binding events.

SVM2CRM - Detection of cis-regulatory elements using svm implemented in LiblineaR.

TIN - The TIN package implements a set of tools for transcriptome instability analysis based on exon expression profiles. Deviating exon usage is studied in the context of splicing factors to analyse to what degree transcriptome instability is correlated to splicing factor expression. In the transcriptome instability correlation analysis, the data is compared to both random permutations of alternative splicing scores and expression of random gene sets.

TPP - Analyze thermal proteome profiling (TPP) experiments with varying temperatures (TR) or compound concentrations (CCR).

TRONCO - Genotype-level cancer progression models describe the ordering of accumulating mutations, e.g., somatic mutations / copy number variations, during cancer development. These graphical models help understand the causal structure involving events promoting cancer progression, possibly predicting complex patterns characterising genomic progression of a cancer. Reconstructed models can be used to better characterise genotype-phenotype relation, and suggest novel targets for therapy design. TRONCO (TRanslational ONCOlogy) is a R package aimed at collecting state-of-the-art algorithms to infer progression models from cross-sectional data, i.e., data collected from independent patients which does not necessarily incorporate any evident temporal information. These algorithms require a binary input matrix where: (i) each row represents a patient genome, (ii) each column an event relevant to the progression (a priori selected) and a 0/1 value models the absence/presence of a certain mutation in a certain patient. The current first version of TRONCO implements the CAPRESE algorithm (Cancer PRogression Extraction with Single Edges) to infer possible progression models arranged as trees; cfr. Inferring tree causal models of cancer progression with probability raising, L. Olde Loohuis, G. Caravagna, A. Graudenzi, D. Ramazzotti, G. Mauri, M. Antoniotti and B. Mishra. PLoS One, to appear. This vignette shows how to use TRONCO to infer a tree model of ovarian cancer progression from CGH data of copy number alterations (classified as gains or losses over chromosome’s arms). The dataset used is available in the SKY/M-FISH database.

NEWS from new and existing packages

Package maintainers can add NEWS files describing changes to their packages since the last release. The following package NEWS is available:

affxparser

Changes in version 1.39.4 (2015-01-18):

• ROBUSTNESS: ‘GNU make’ is a SystemRequirements (for now).

• ROBUSTNESS: Did not seem to be needed, but package is now a good citizen and do library.dynlib.unload() when unloaded.

• CLEANUP: Now using requireNamespace() instead of require().

• CLEANUP: Internal cleanup of native code.

Changes in version 1.39.3 (2014-11-26):

• BUG FIX: readPgf() and readPgfEnv() failed to read all units (probesets) on some systems. Extensive package tests have been added to test this and other cases. Thanks to Grischa Toedt at EMBL Germany for reporting on, troubleshooting, and helping out with patches for this bug.

Changes in version 1.39.2 (2014-10-28):

• BUG FIX: The range test of argument ‘units’ to readCdf() and readCdfQc() was never performed due to a typo, meaning it was possible to request units out of range. Depending on system this could result in either a core dump or random garbage read for the out of range units.

• ROBUSTNESS: Added package system tests for out of range ‘units’ and ‘indices’ arguments for most read functions.

Changes in version 1.39.1 (2014-10-26):

• ROBUSTNESS: Now all methods gives an informative error message if zero elements are requested, i.e. via zero-length argument ‘indices’ or ‘units’ that is not NULL. Previously this case would access all values just like NULL does.

• ROBUSTNESS: Now readCelRectangle() gives an informative error message if argument ‘xrange’ or ‘yrange’ is not of length two.

• BUG FIX: readPgf() and readPgfEnv() would give an error if argument ‘indices’ was specifies as a double rather than as an integer vector.

Changes in version 1.39.0 (2014-10-13):

• The version number was bumped for the Bioconductor devel version, which is now BioC v3.1 for R (>= 3.2.0).

• See AnalysisPageServer vignette for introduction.

AnnotationDbi

Changes in version 1.30:

NEW FEATURES and API changes

• Adds mapIds() which allows users who miss mget() to extract data from AnnnotationDb objects: but without the dangers of using mget() (which fails if you pass in a bad key)

• Adds dbconn() and dbfile() methods to the list of things that AnnotationDb derived objects shoould always be expected to support

BUG FIXES AND CODE MAINTENANCE

• loadDb() now is smarter about whether or not it attaches a supporting package * * * 1.24.x SERIES NEWS * * *

AnnotationHub

Changes in version 2.0.0:

NEW FEATURES and API changes

• AnnotationHub is all new. We basically rewrote the entire thing.

• The back end is new (new database, new way of tracking/routing data etc.)

• The front end is new (new AnnotationHub object, new methods, new behaviors, new ways of finding and downloading data)

• The metadata has also been cleaned up and made more consistent/searchable

• The recipes that are used to populate these data have also been cleaned up.

• There is also a new vignette to explain how to use the new AnnotationHub in detail

Improvements since last time

• The old way of finding data (an enormous tree of paths), was not really scalable to the amount of data we have to provide access to. So we junked it. Now you have a number of better methods to allow you to search for terms instead.

• The new hub interface can be searched using a new display method, but it can also be searched entirely from the command line. This allows you to use it in examples and scripts in a way that is friendlier for reproducible research.

• For users who want to contribute valuable new annotation resources to the AnnotationHub, it is now possible to write a recipe and test that it works for yourself. Then once you are happy with it, you can contact us and we can add data to the AnnotationHub.

aroma.light

Changes in version 2.3.3 (2015-02-18):

derfinder

Changes in version 1.1.18:

BUG FIXES

• Updated to work with qvalue 1.99.0

Changes in version 1.1.17:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Changed citation information to reference the bioRxiv pre-print

BUG FIXES

• Polished the interaction with bumphunter >= 1.7.3

• Updated the default cluster option now that BiocParallel::SnowParam() no longer has an ‘outfile’ argument.

Changes in version 1.1.16:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• analyzeChr() now uses annotateTranscripts() and matchGenes() from bumphunter version 1.7.3 (or greater). As announced at https://support.bioconductor.org/p/63568/ these changes in bumphunter allow straight forward use of non-human annotation. In analyzeChr() using a different organism can be used by changing the ‘txdb’ argument: finer control can be achieved through ‘…’. For example, by specifying the ‘annotationPackage’ argument used in annotateTranscripts().

Changes in version 1.1.15:

BUG FIXES

• makeGenomicState() incorrectly labeled regions as intragenic. The correct name is intergenic.

Changes in version 1.1.14:

BUG FIXES

• Fixed an important bug on calculatePvalues()! Basically, internally maxRegionGap was set to 300 instead of 0 in one step by default. Thus the process of mapping regions to genomic coordinates was messed up. If you have results prior to this fix you can try using https://gist.github.com/bf85e2c7d5d1f8197707 to fix the results as much as possible. Basically, regions will be correct but the p-values will be approximated with the available information from the null regions. Truly fixing the p-values can only be done by re-running derfinder.

Changes in version 1.1.5:

NEW FEATURES

• Introduced function extendedMapSeqlevels() for using GenomeInfoDb when there is information regarding the species and naming style of interest. Otherwise sequence names are left unchanged. If used with ‘verbose = TRUE’, a message is printed whenever GenomeInfoDb could not be used or if some information had to be guessed.

BUG FIXES

• Fixes https://support.bioconductor.org/p/62136

Changes in version 1.1.3:

NEW FEATURES

• loadCoverage() and fullCoverage() now support BamFile and BigWigFile objects

DESeq2

Changes in version 1.8.0:

• Added support for user-supplied model matrices to DESeq(), estimateDispersions() and nbinomWaldTest(). This helps when the model matrix needs to be edited by the user.

Changes in version 1.7.45:

• Added a test in rlog for sparse data, mostly zero and some very large counts, which will give a warning and suggestion for alternate transformations.

• Added plotSparsity() which will help diagnose issues for using rlog: data which do not resemble negative binomial due to many genes with mostly zeros and a few very large counts.

Changes in version 1.7.43:

• Added ‘replaced’ argument to counts() and plotCounts() such that the assay in “replaceCounts” will be used if it exists. Raised a minimum dispersion value used in Cook’s calculation, so that other counts in a group with an outlier won’t get extreme Cook’s distances themselves.

Changes in version 1.7.32:

• Added logic to results() which will zero out the LFC, Wald statistic and set p-value to 1, for ‘contrast’ argument results tables where the contrasted groups all have zero count. Non-zero LFCs were otherwise occuring due to large differences in the size factors.

Changes in version 1.7.11:

• Added support for user-supplied model matrices to DESeq(), estimateDispersions() and nbinomWaldTest().

Changes in version 1.7.9:

• Added Genome Biology citation for the DESeq2 methods.

• Introduced type=”iterate” for estimateSizeFactors, an alternative estimator for the size factors, which can be used even when all genes have a sample with a count of zero. See man page for details.

Changes in version 1.7.3:

• Fixed two minor bugs: DESeq() with parallel=TRUE was dropping rows with all zero counts, instead of propogating NAs. nbinomLRT() with matrices provided to ‘full’ and ‘reduced’ and a design of ~ 1, the matrices were being ignored.

DiffBind

Changes in version 1.13.5:

• Add support for reading Excel-format sample sheets (.xls, .xlsx extensions

EBImage

Changes in version 4.10.0:

NEW FEATURES

• ‘getFrames’ function returning a list of Image objects

• default ‘display’ method can be set by options(“EBImage.display”)

• ‘short’ argument to the Image ‘print’ method

• ‘equalize’ function performing histogram equalization

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

EBSeq

Changes in version 1.7.1:

• In EBSeq 1.7.1, EBSeq incorporates a new function GetDEResults() which may be used to obtain a list of transcripts under a target FDR in a two-condition experiment. The results obtained by applying this function with its default setting will be more robust to transcripts with low variance and potential outliers. By using the default settings in this function, the number of genes identified in any given analysis may differ slightly from the previous version (1.7.0 or order). To obtain results that are comparable to results from earlier versions of EBSeq (1.7.0 or older), a user may set Method=”classic” in GetDEResults() function, or use the original GetPPMat() function. The GeneDEResults() function also allows a user to modify thresholds to target genes/isoforms with a pre-specified posterior fold change.

• Also, in EBSeq 1.7.1, the default settings in EBTest() and EBMultiTest() function will only remove transcripts with all 0’s (instead of removing transcripts with 75th quantile less than 10 in version 1.3.3-1.7.0). To obtain a list of transcripts comparable to the results generated by EBSeq version 1.3.3-1.7.0, a user may change Qtrm = 0.75 and QtrmCut = 10 when applying EBTest() or EBMultiTest() function.

• New argument p.value for topTags(), allowing users to apply a p-value or FDR cutoff for the results.

• New argument prior.count for aveLogCPM().

• New argument pch for the plotMDS method for DGEList objects. Old argument col is now removed, but can be passed using …. Various other improvements to the plotMDS method for DGEList objects, better labelling of the axes and protection against degenerate dimensions.

• treatDGE() is renamed as glmTreat(). It can now optionally work with either likelihood ratio tests or with quasi-likelihood F-tests.

• glmQLFit() is now an S3 generic function.

• glmQLFit() now breaks the output component s2.fit into three separate components: df.prior, var.post and var.prior.

• estimateDisp() now protects against fitted values of zeros, giving a more accurate estimate of prior.df.

• DGEList() now gives a message rather than an error when the count matrix has non-unique column names.

• Minor corrections to User’s Guide.

• requireNamespace() is now used internally instead of require() to access functions in suggested packages.

flipflop

Changes in version 1.5.15:

• correct a bad memory managment in readgroup.cpp (do not use erase on a vector!)

• correct a bug that may happen when the pre-processing encountered a * in the CIGAR field. now it simply ignore the read (align.cpp).

Changes in version 1.5.14:

• correct a bug which might happened when reading the RG:Z tag in the SAM file (align.cpp)

• allow H characters in the CIGAR field

• correction in spams (prox/project.h) related to topological order

Changes in version 1.5.12:

MAJOR CHANGES

• parallelization —–> FlipFlop can be run on multiple cores.

NEW FEATURES

• 2 novel options related to the parallelization: - ‘sliceCount’ number of slices in which the pre-processing ‘.instance’ file is cut. when OnlyPreprocess is set to TRUE, it creates slices and you can run FlipFlop independently afterwards on each one of the slice. - mc.cores it automatically distributes the slices on several cores when sliceCount>1. when using a given preprocessing.instance and several samples, it uses several cores for some operations concerning multiple samples.

Changes in version 1.5.11:

• added the fraction of each predicted transcript (among one gene) in the output GTF file.

Changes in version 1.5.10:

MAJOR CHANGES

• implementation of a MULTI-SAMPLE version of FlipFlop —–> the multi-sample procedure uses several samples simultaneously in order to increase statistical power. by default the multi-sample procedure is a penalized likelihood with the group-lasso penalty. you can also choose to perform a simple refit after using the pooled data.

NEW FEATURES

• new features as a result of the multi-sample extension. Novel options are - ‘samples.file’ optional samples file (one line per sample name)
  • ‘output.type’ type of output when using several samples simultaneously. when equal to “gtf” the output corresponds to a gtf file per sample with specific abundances. when equal to “table” the output corresponds to a single gtf file storing the structure of the transcripts, and an associated table with the abundances of all samples. - ‘mergerefit’ if TRUE use a simple refit strategy instead of the group-lasso. Default FALSE.

MINOR CHANGES

• change a bit the paired-end graph paradigm. Ensure that one isoform is one unique path in the graph, as for single-end graph.

• [parameter] add the delta (poisson offset in the loss) parameter as an option, in case of fine-tuning.

• [parameter] the cutoff option is now active for both single and paired, and the default value is 1%.

Changes in version 1.5.8:

• change default MinCvgCut value from 0.25 to 0.05

Changes in version 1.5.7:

• correct a stupid error (in flipflop.R) for calculating the total number of mapped fragments in the paired-end case

Changes in version 1.5.6:

MAJOR CHANGES

• faster single-end and paired-end graph implementation

• use_TSSPAS: if yes then start/end bins are the ones with no entering/outgoing junctions (+ annotated ones if given annotations)

MINOR CHANGES

• remove the sanity-check for possibly duplicated types, as it was solved into readgroup.cpp/getType

• [pre-processing] back to default 1 for minJuncCount (I changed my mind !!)

• [pre-processing] cancel change of version 1.3.9 (extreme boundary of segments calculateBound in readgroup.cpp) (I changed my mind !!)

Changes in version 1.5.5:

• allow more easy 2 steps run (preprocessing+prediction). The option “OnlyPreprocess” allows to perform preprocessing only. It creates two files ‘prefix.instance’ and ‘prefix.totalnumread’. Running then flipflop with the option preprocess.instance=’prefix.instance’ performs the prediction (it reads automatically the total number of reads in prefix.totalnumread)

• [pre-processing] push the default minJuncCount from 1 to 2 (high enough for a default?)

• [pre-processing] slight change for paired-end preprocessing, see option to processsam (–single-only not automatic anymore)

• start using Rprintf in c/cpp codes for user messages (to continue)

Changes in version 1.5.4:

• [pre-processing] solve small issue on CIGAR character ‘S,X,=’ (again!), see align.cpp

Changes in version 1.5.3:

NEW FEATURE

• [pre-processing] add minJuncCount as an option, ie number of required reads to consider a junction/boundary as valid.

Changes in version 1.5.1:

• [pre-processing] solve small issue of possibly duplicated read type, see getType in readgroup.cpp

flowcatchR

Changes in version 1.2.0:

NEW FEATURES

• addTrajectory: changed implementation in the addTrajectory function, notable gain in computing time

• particles: implementation of particles() now used BiocParallel - massive gain in performances!

• snap() function to allow interaction of the user with the image, to display additional information on the trajectories identified on the Frames/ParticleSet

• shinyFlow() released! A Shiny App is delivered along with the package, documentation is available to guide exploration of data and parameters

• Jupyter/IPython notebooks available in the installed folder of the package - provided as template for further analysis

• Vignette: updated to reflect the current implementation and newest features

• preprocess.Frames: extended documentation

• BiocViews: added a couple of terms that fit better with current status of the package

• Added url for development version on github. Active development is performed there, therefore feel free to send pull requests/ feature wishes (https://github.com/federicomarini/flowcatchR/issues)!

• Added integration of the repository with Travis-CI

• add.contours: if image is in grayscale, use false colours to enhance detected particles

• plot2d.TrajectorySet is now able to draw a grid and help backtracking points from the trajectories

BUG FIXES

• select.Frames: fixed behaviour in select.Frames when selecting a single frame

• add.contours: corrected bug in add.contours for grayscale images, was preventing correct combining of images. now uses correctly false colours and aids identification

• particles: for computing particles,added check whether dimnames is set or not. previously it raised an error, but it was kind of overkilling

• fixed behaviour in export.Frames

• typos fixed

• Vignette: fixed typos, fixed parameter names in the preprocessing steps

• read.Frames: additional check on the existence of all files

• Grayscale images can now be directly preprocessed by selecting channel = “all”

flowMap

Changes in version 1.5.1:

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

• Remove functions that support computation of permutation-based p-values of the Friedman- Rafsky (FR) statistic,including permutePops() and getFRvalsPerm(). Current release computes p-values of the FR statistic directly from the standard normal curve.

• Remove functions for building a reference sample for multiple flow cytometry sample comparisons, including makeRefMap() and makeRefSample(). Instead, curent release encourages the user to generate a multi-sample similar matrix of cell populations which can in turn be used to decide on matched or mismatched cell populations

• Remove getSomePops(), which was used to compute selected cell population pairs in a cross-sample comparison. Current release computes the FR statistics for all possible cell population pairs in a cross-sample comparison.

frma

Changes in version 1.19:

• Correct citation for use of frma with Gene and Exon ST arrays added.

• The internal workings of the frma function have been modified to ease the eventual transition AffyBatch (affy) objects to FeatureSet (oligo) objects as input.

• Changed the way in which the user can pass their own fRMA vectors to the frma function via the “input.vecs” argument. Previously, the user could supply a partial set of vectors and the remaining ones would be obtained from the default frmavecs packages. In retrospect, this seems very likely to introduce a mistake. Now, the user has to either supply all of their own vectors or use all of the default vectors. If anyone was mixing vectors before, this can still be accomplished by loading the respective frmavecs package and manually creating your own mixture of vectors.

• Bug fix: on certain operating systems, due to differences in the locale, the probe ordering returned by the pm function (affy) did not match the order stored in the frmavecs packages. Updated frmavecs packages will now contain the pmindex values for all probes and affy ids for all probesets. Also the frma and barcode functions now check that the order matches. If the order is not the same, these functions attempt to reorder the probes to match.

• Added NEWS.Rd file.

gCMAP

Changes in version 1.11.3:

• BUGFIX: The wiki2cmap function now excludes empty files downloaded from wikipathways from parsing.

• allow R RAW data (interpreted as 8-bit signed integer) to replace 32-bit integer with read.gdsn(), readex.gdsn(), apply.gdsn(), clusterApply.gdsn(), write.gdsn(), append.gdsn()

• a new argument ‘target.node’ is added to apply.gdsn(), which allows appending data to a target GDS variable

• apply.gdsn(), clusterApply.gdsn(): the argument ‘as.is’ allows “logical” and “raw”

GenomicAlignments

Changes in version 1.4.0:

NEW FEATURES

• All “findOverlaps” methods now support ‘select’ equal “last” or “arbitrary” (in addition to “all” and “first”).

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• Add mapToAlignments(), pmapToAlignments(), mapFromAlignments(), and pmapFromAlignments() as replacements for the “mapCoords” and “pmapCoords” methods for GAlignments objects.

• Clarify use of ‘fragments’ in summarizeOverlaps() man page.

• Tweak “show” method for GAlignments objects to display a shorter version of long CIGARs.

• Add checks and more helpful error message for summarizeOverlaps() when “file does not exist”

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Deprecated readGAlignment*FromBam() functions in favor of readGAlignments(), readGAlignmentPairs(), readGAlignmentsList() and readGappedReads().

• Deprecated “mapCoords” and “pmapCoords” methods.

• Removed Lngap(), Rngap(), introns(), and makeGAlignmentsListFromFeatureFragments() functions, and “ngap”, “map”, “pmap”, and “splitAsListReturnedClass” methods (were defunct in GenomicAlignments 1.2.0).

BUG FIXES

• Fix off-by-one error when processing ‘S’ in query_locs_to_ref_locs().

GenomicFeatures

Changes in version 1.20:

NEW FEATURES

• Add makeTxDbFromGRanges() for extracting gene, transcript, exon, and CDS information from a GRanges object structured as GFF3 or GTF, and returning that information as a TxDb object.

• TxDb objects have a new column (“tx_type” in the “transcripts” table) that the user can request thru the ‘columns’ arg of the transcripts() extractor. This column is populated when the user makes a TxDb object from Ensembl (using makeTxDbFromBiomart()) or from a GFF3/GTF file (using makeTxDbFromGFF()), but not yet (i.e. it’s set to NA) when s/he makes it from a UCSC track (using makeTxDbFromUCSC()). However it seems that UCSC is also providing that information for some tracks so we’re planning to have makeTxDbFromUCSC() get it from these tracks in the near future. Also low-level makeTxDb() now imports the “tx_type” column if supplied.

• Add transcriptLengths() for extracting the transcript lengths from a TxDb object. It also returns the CDS and UTR lengths for each transcript if the user requests them.

• extractTranscriptSeqs() now works on a FaFile or GmapGenome object (or, more generally, on any object that supports seqinfo() and getSeq()).

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Renamed makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(), makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(), makeTranscriptDbFromGFF(), and makeTranscriptDb() -> makeTxDbFromUCSC(), makeTxDbFromBiomart(), makeTxDbFromGFF(), and makeTxDb(). Old names still work but are deprecated.

• Many changes and improvements to makeTxDbFromGFF(): - Re-implemented it on top of makeTxDbFromGRanges(). - The geneID tag, if present, is now used to assign an external gene id to transcripts that couldn’t otherwise be linked to a gene. This is for compatibility with some GFF3 files from FlyBase (see for example dmel-1000-r5.11.filtered.gff included in this package). - Arguments ‘exonRankAttributeName’, ‘gffGeneIdAttributeName’, ‘useGenesAsTranscripts’, and ‘gffTxName’, are not needed anymore so they are now ignored and deprecated. - Deprecated ‘species’ arg in favor of new ‘organism’ arg.

• Some tweaks to makeTxDbFromBiomart(): - Drop transcripts with UTR anomalies with a warning instead of failing. We’ve started to see these hopeless transcripts with the release 79 of Ensembl in the dmelanogaster_gene_ensembl dataset (based on FlyBase r6.02 / FB2014_05). With this change, the user can still make a TxDb for dmelanogaster_gene_ensembl but some transcripts will be dropped with a warning. - BioMart data anomaly warnings and errors now show the first 3 problematic transcripts instead of 6.

• ‘gene_id’ metadata column returned by genes() is now a character vector instead of a CharacterList object.

• Use # prefix instead of

  in “show” method for TxDb objects.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Deprecated makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(), makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(), makeTranscriptDbFromGFF(), and makeTranscriptDb(), in favor of makeTxDbFromUCSC(), makeTxDbFromBiomart(), and makeTxDbFromGFF(), and makeTxDb().

• Deprecated species() accessor in favor of organism() on TxDb objects.

• sortExonsByRank() is now defunct (was deprecated in GenomicFeatures 1.18)

• Removed extractTranscriptsFromGenome(), extractTranscripts(), determineDefaultSeqnameStyle() (were defunct in GenomicFeatures 1.18).

BUG FIXES

• makeTxDbFromBiomart(): - Fix issue causing the download of ‘chrominfo’ data frame to fail when querying the primary Ensembl mart (with host=”ensembl.org” and biomart=”ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL”). - Fix issue with error reporting code: when some transcripts failed to pass the sanity checks, the error message was displaying the wrong transcripts. More precisely, many good transcripts were mistakenly added to the set of bad transcripts and included in the error message.

• extractTranscriptSeqs(): fix error message when internal call to exonsBy() fails on ‘transcripts’.

GenomicFiles

Changes in version 1.4.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add reduceFiles() and reduceRanges()

• Add ‘algorithm’ argument to summarizeOverlaps methods

• Add REDUCEsampler() from Martin

MODIFICATIONS

GenomicRanges

Changes in version 1.20.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add coercion methods to go back and forth between ExpressionSet and SummarizedExperiment.

• Add ‘assayNames’, ‘assayNames<-‘ for SummarizedExperiment

• assays() supports arrays of up to 4 dimensions.

• Add GNCList() for preprocessing a GenomicRanges object into a GNCList object that can be used for fast overlap seach with findOverlaps(). GNCList() is a replacement for GIntervalTree() that uses Nested Containment Lists instead of interval trees. Unlike GIntervalTree(), GNCList() supports preprocessing of a GenomicRanges object with ranges located on a circular sequence. For a one time use, it’s not advised to explicitely preprocess the input. This is because findOverlaps() or countOverlaps() will take care of it and do a better job at it (that is, they preprocess only what’s needed when it’s needed and release memory as they go).

• All “findOverlaps” methods now support ‘select’ equal “last” or “arbitrary” (in addition to “all” and “first”).

• Add absoluteRanges() and relativeRanges() to transform back and forth between absolute and relative genomic ranges.

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• Renamed ‘rowData’ and ‘rowData<-‘ -> ‘rowRanges’, ‘rowRanges<-‘. Old names still work but are deprecated.

• Some improvements to makeGRangesFromDataFrame(): - Improve internal logic used for finding the GRanges columns in the input. - If ‘seqinfo’ is not supplied, the seqlevels are now ordered according to the output of GenomeInfoDb::rankSeqlevels(). - Now an attempt is made to turn ‘df’ into a data frame (with ‘as.data.frame(df)’) if it’s not a data frame or a DataFrame object.

• The GRanges() constructor now propagates the metadata cols that are on ‘ranges’ if no metadata cols are explicitly passed to the constructor.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Deprecated ‘rowData’ and ‘rowData<-‘ in favor of ‘rowRanges’ and ‘rowRanges<-‘.

• Deprecated mapCoords() and pmapCoords(). They’re replaced by mapToTranscripts() and pmapToTranscripts() from the GenomicFeatures package and mapToAlignments() and pmapToAlignments() from the GenomicAlignments package.

• Deprecated GIntervalTree objects.

• Removed “map” and “splitAsListReturnedClass” methods (were defunct in GenomicRanges 1.18.0).

• Removed makeSeqnameIds() (was defunct in GenomicRanges 1.18.0).

• Removed ‘with.mapping’ argunment from “reduce” methods (was defunct in GenomicRanges 1.18.0).

BUG FIXES

• Fix ‘findOverlaps(…, type=”start”)’ on GRangesList objects which has been broken for years.

• Fix self overlap search on a GRanges object when ‘ignore.strand=TRUE’ (i.e. ‘findOverlaps(gr, ignore.strand=TRUE)’).

GOexpress

Changes in version 1.1.12:

NEW FEATURES

• Summarisation function of scores and rank from feature-level to ontology-level also affects the calculation of P-values by pValue_GO. The default behaviour is to use the same function as used in the call to GO_analyse, stored in the result object.

Changes in version 1.1.11:

NEW FEATURES

• Summarisation function of scores and rank from feature-level to ontology-level can be overriden from the default “mean” to any function specified by the user. The function need to support a list of numeric values as an input, and return a unique numeric value as an output.

Changes in version 1.1.10:

BUG FIX

• margins argument in heatmap_GO() was not used in the call to heatmap.2()

Changes in version 1.1.9:

TYPOS

• Missing space character in error message.

Changes in version 1.1.8:

TYPOS

• Simone Coughlan, not Simone Coughland. Apologies!

Changes in version 1.1.7:

BUG FIXES

• Changed the rank of annotated features absent from the given ExpressionSet to (number of features in ExpressionSet + 1) instead of max(rank) + 1 to match the documentation, and desired behaviour. This follows the logic of giving the same rank R to N tied-scored features, while the next feature receives a rank of R + N.

Changes in version 1.1.6:

BUG FIXES

• overlap_GO() was crashing for 3-group Venn diagrams, except if the VennDiagram was loaded manually loaded in the workspace using libray(VennDiagram). The function will now run seemlessly without that manual step, as loading GOexpress will immediately load VennDiagram in the workspace (stated as a dependency in the DESCRIPTION file).

NEW FEATURES

• New function pValue_GO() allows calculation of P-value for each ontology using permutation of genes labels. This allows users to estimate the chance of seeing a GO term reach a particular rank (or score). Features a fancy progres bar shamelessly adapted from StackOverflow.

• heatmap_GO now semi-autmoatically resizes the bottom and right margins to accomodate large gene and sample labels, respectively. The user may control those margins using the “margins” argument of the function.

• heatmap_GO default call now shows the gene feature identifier for those missing an annotated gene name, when gene names are requested (also the default).

• A rank.by slot is now created by the GO_analyse() function in the result object to state the metric used to order the result tables.

• a filters.GO slot stating the filters and cutoffs applied to the result object is now created or updated by successive uses of the subset_scores() function. Warnings and notes are displayed if conflicting filters and cutoffs are applied on a previously filtered result object.

• rerank() function now supports re-ordering by P-value. Note that this is only applicable to the output of the pValue_GO() function mentioned above.

• rerank() function now updates the rank.by slot of the result object to state the current ordering metric.

• subset_scores() function now allows filtering by P-value. Note that this is only applicable to the output of the pValue_GO() function mentioned above.

• Backward compatibility with Ensembl annotation releases 75 and earlier, which used ‘external_gene_id’, which was renamed to ‘external_gene_name’ in releases 76 and later.

• table_genes() function defaults to sorting genes by decreasing score (equivalent to increasing rank). Gene feature name or identifier are supported alternative filters for sorting.

UPDATED FEATURES

• Allow user to override row_labels in heatmap_GO. This way, the color-coding of the sample can be kept, while better description of the samples can be used to label them, instead of the phenodata values.

• In heatmap_GO(), if the labRow argument is of length 1, it is assumed to be the name of a column in the phenoData slot. Useful to re-label subsetted ExpressionSet objects.

GENERAL UPDATES

• Updated the AlvMac training dataset to include ‘RPL36A’ an example of multiple Ensembl gene identifier annotated to the same gene name.

• Updated the AlvMac example custom annotations to match the updated dataset.

• Updated the example AlvMac_results to match the updated dataset.

• Set the random seed prior to running the GO_analyse() example in the vignette. Hopefully, this should allow reproducible testing by the users.

• In User Guide, load package before loading the attached data.

• In User Guide, new sections and examples dealing with the re-labelling of heatmap samples, the use of P-values, the re-ranking and subsetting of results using P-values. New sub-sections for clarity. Emphasis on the use and generation of local annotation, rather than use of current online Ensembl annotation release.

• No more code connecting to the Ensembl server in any the help files and User Guide.

• Help pages examples with more consistent indentation of code.

Changes in version 1.1.5:

BUG FIXES

• Forgot to commit image file of shiny screenshot in release 1.1.5

Changes in version 1.1.4:

NEW FEATURES

• Custom annotations can be provided to the GO_analyse function using three new arguments: “GO_genes”, “all_GO”, and “all_genes”. See below for individual description.

• The GO_genes argument allows the user to provide associations between feature identifiers in the ExpressionSet and gene ontology identifiers. This will skip all calls to the Ensembl BioMart server. Consequently, we recommend the use of the “all_GO” and “all_genes” arguments whenever “GO_genes” is used. Otherwise, some downstream functions may not work. For instance, the expression_plot, expression_profiles, and heatmap_GO function can be used to generate plots,although lacking gene and gene ontology names. See below for more details.

• The all_GO argument allows the user to provide the name and namespace (“biological_process”, “molecular_function”, or “cellular_component”) corresponding to gene ontology identifiers. This enables subsequent filtering of result tables by namespace, and annotation of heatmaps with the name of the gene ontology.

• The all_genes argument allows the user to provide the name and description corresponding to feature identifiers in the ExpressionSet. This enables annotation of expression plots with the gene name associated with the feature.

UPDATED FEATURES

• In the GO_analyse function, the eSet argument is now formally checked to be of class ExpressionSet prior to any calculation. If not, the function returns an appropriate error message.

• The error messages caused when the user gives a name that does not exist in the phenoData slot of the ExpressionSet were updated to use the word “column”, rather than “factor”.

GENERAL UPDATES

• Updated the help page for function GO_analyse to describe the new features described above and provide a code example.

• Used the BiocStyle package to format the vignette.

• Added a new section in the vignette to document the new features described above.

• Added a new section in the vignette to mention the creation of shiny applications using the output of GOexpress. Included a screenshot of a shiny application developed from the original AlvMac dataset.

• Added a new section in the vignette to highlight the availability of a “subset” argument to avoid the need for additional ExpressionSet objects to analyse or visualise subsets of samples.

Changes in version 1.1.3:

NEW FEATURES

• Included private function used to generate the prefix2dataset table.

• Included private function used to generate the microarray2dataset table.

• GO_analyse states the number of gene features in the given dataset that were found in the BioMart dataset. This allows the user to interrupt the script if a suspiciously low number of mapped features suggests an incorrect BioMart dataset was used.

UPDATED FEATURES

• Updated the prefix2dataset table. Three more species (“Chlorocebus sabaeus”, “Papio anubis” , and “Poecilia formosa”), and two more columns (“species” and “sample”).

• Updated the microarray2dataset table. Probeset patterns are now hard coded in the package, but dynamically defined as unique to a platform (or not) by the function building the microarray2dataset table. Species without microarray platforms were also included in the table with NA values. Code was added in the GO_analyse method to ignore those before trying to resolve the origin of the expression data, if not specified by the user.

• Renamed column “prefix” to “pattern” in microarray2dataset table.

• Disabled manual check of C. elegans and D. melanogaster, as the automated detection is doing the exact same thing. Only S. cerevisiae requires a manual check of the “Y” prefix instead of the automatically extracted “Y[:LETTERS:]{2}” pattern.

• Methods expression_plot_symbol and expression_profiles_symbol now return the list of gene feature identifiers instead of NULL when multiple plots are produced. That may be confusing as they return the list of close matches when an invalid gene symbol was given, and they return the ggplot when obly one plot is produced.

GENERAL UPDATES

• Code layout. Lines of code over 80 characters were split around brackets and commas to use the built-in indentation defaulted to 4 space characters. Plus, this made the code more readable in many cases.

Changes in version 1.1.2:

GENERAL UPDATES

• DESCRIPTION file minor correction: Inappropriate “Metagenomics” biocView removed.

Changes in version 1.1.1:

BUG FIXES

• Ensembl BioMart has changed the column ‘external_gene_id’ to ‘external_gene_name’. Renamed my biomaRt queries accordingly to prevent GO_analyse() from crashing during the analysis step.

• Updated the AlvMac_results variable containing sample results annotated with the deprecated ‘external_gene_id’. It now includes the new ‘external_gene_name’.

GENERAL UPDATES

• DESCRIPTION file minor correction.

• User Guide’s chunk about installation using biocLite is not evaluated anymore, as advised by Dan Tenenbaum.

intansv

Changes in version 1.7.1:

Notes

• Fixed a bug in svAnnotation.

IRanges

Changes in version 2.2.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add NCList() and NCLists() for preprocessing a Ranges or RangesList object into an NCList or NCLists object that can be used for fast overlap search with findOverlaps(). NCList() and NCLists() are replacements for IntervalTree() and IntervalForest() that use Nested Containment Lists instead of interval trees. For a one time use, it’s not advised to explicitely preprocess the input. This is because findOverlaps() or countOverlaps() will take care of it and do a better job at it (that is, they preprocess only what’s needed when it’s needed and release memory as they go).

• Add coercion methods from Hits to CompressedIntegerList, to PartitioningByEnd, and to Partitioning.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• The code behind overlap-based operations like findOverlaps(), countOverlaps(), subsetByOverlaps(), summarizeOverlaps(), nearest(), etc… was refactored and improved. Some highlights on what has changed: - The underlying code used for finding/counting overlaps is now based on the Nested Containment List algorithm by Alexander V. Alekseyenko and Christopher J. Lee. - The old algorithm based on interval trees is still available (but deprecated). The ‘algorithm’ argument was added to most overlap-based operations to let the user choose between the new (algorithm=”nclist”, the default) and the old (algorithm=”intervaltree”) algorithm. - With the new algorithm, the hits returned by findOverlaps() are not fully ordered (i.e. ordered by queryHits and subject Hits) anymore, but only partially ordered (i.e. ordered by queryHits only). Other than that, and except for the 3 particular situations mentioned below, choosing one or the other doesn’t affect the output, only performance. - Either the query or subject can be preprocessed with NCList() for a Ranges object (replacement for IntervalTree()), NCLists() for a RangesList object (replacement for IntervalForest()), and GNCList() for a GenomicRanges object (replacement for GIntervalTree()). However, for a one time use, it’s not advised to explicitely preprocess the input. This is because findOverlaps() or countOverlaps() will take care of it and do a better job at it (that is, they preprocess only what’s needed when it’s needed and release memory as they go). - With the new algorithm, countOverlaps() on Ranges or GenomicRanges objects doesn’t call findOverlaps() to collect all the hits in a growing Hits object and count them only at the end. Instead the counting happens at the C level and the hits are not kept. This reduces memory usage considerably when there is a lot of hits. - When ‘minoverlap=0’, zero-width ranges are interpreted as insertion points and are considered to overlap with ranges that contain them. This is the 1st situation where using ‘algorithm=”nclist”’ or ‘algorithm=”intervaltree”’ produces different output. - When using ‘select=”arbitrary”’, the new algorithm will generally not select the same hits as the old algorithm. This is the 2nd situation where using ‘algorithm=”nclist”’ or ‘algorithm=”intervaltree”’ produces different output. - When using the old interval tree algorithm, ‘maxgap’ has a special meaning if ‘type’ is “start”, “end”, or “within”. This is not yet the case with the new algorithm. That feature seems somewhat useful though so maybe the new algorithm should also support it? Anyway, this is the 3rd situation where using ‘algorithm=”nclist”’ or ‘algorithm=”intervaltree”’ produces different output. - Objects preprocessed with NCList(), NCLists(), and GNCList() are serializable.

• The RleViewsList() constructor function now reorders its ‘rleList’ argument so that its names match the names on the ‘rangesList’ argument.

• Minor changes to breakInChunks(): - Add ‘nchunk’ arg. - Now returns a PartitioningByEnd instead of a PartitioningByWidth object. - Now accepts ‘chunksize’ of 0 if ‘totalsize’ is 0.

• 300x speedup or more when doing unique() on a CompressedRleList object.

• New function plotMD() for mean-difference plots. This will take over the functionality of the plotMA() function.

• mdplot() has new arguments ‘columns’ and ‘main’.

• Arguments ‘pch’, ‘cex’ and ‘col’ of plotWithHighlights() renamed to ‘hi.pch’, ‘hi.cex’ and ‘hi.col’. Improved help page for plotWithHighlights().

• plot() methods removed for EList, MAList and MArrayLM objects. Use plotMD() instead.

• romer() is now an S3 generic function. Speed improvements for romer() when the “mean” or “floormean” set statistics are used.

• topGO() can now sort gene ontology results by several p-value columns at once, using the minimum of the columns. The default is now to sort results using all the p-value columns found in the results instead of just by the first column.

• goana() has new arguments ‘plot’ and ‘covariate’. The plot argument allows users to view any estimated trend in the genewise significance values. The help files goana.Rd and goana.MArrayLM.Rd are consolidated into one file.

• plotDensities() has a new argument ‘legend’, allowing user to reposition the legend.

• voomWithQualityWeights() has a new argument ‘col’, allowing the barplot of sample weights to be colour-coded.

• Improvements and bug fixes to plotMDS(). plotMDS now stores ‘axislabel’, depending on the method used to compute distances, and uses this to make more informative axis labels. plotMDS now traps problems when the distances are all zero or if one or more of the dimensions are degenerate. Also, a bug when gene.selection=”common” and top=nrow(x) has been fixed.

• The arguments for predFCm() have been renamed. Old argument ‘VarRel’ replaced by logical argument ‘var.indep.of.fc’. Old argument ‘prop’ replaced by ‘all.de’. New argument ‘prop.true.null.method’ passes through method to propTrueNull().

• vennDiagram() now fills circles with specified colors.

• plotMA() now has a method for EListRaw objects.

• voomWithQualityWeights() now stores the sample weights in the output EList object. The values stored in $weights are unchanged, they are still the combined observation and sample weights.

• nec() and neqc() now remove the background Eb values if they exist in the EListRaw object.

• Acknowledgements edited in User’s Guide.

• fix URLs for a number of references in help pages.

• Improvements to lowess C code.

• topTable() now gives an information error message if eBayes() or treat() have not already been run on the fitted model object.

• genas() now gives an error message when applied to fitted model for which the coefficient correlations are gene-specific.

• Fix a bug in the MAList method for plotDensities that was introduced with the use of NextMethod() in version 3.21.16.

• ‘protter’ method is now compatible with Windows OS

• a check was added in newLowMACA constructor to prevent more than one pfam ID entry by the user

Changes in version 0.99.2:

• modified ‘lfm’ method in order to accept different thresholds of p value or q value and conservation score

• removed the output folder: -> now all plots can be evaluated on the graphical device -> clustalOmega output file is saved only if a path is provided either in ‘alignSequences’ method or ‘setup’ method

• in ‘lmPlot’ if the mode is ‘gene’ and only one sequence is analyzed, domains are represented within the plot and no logo plot and trident score are visualized

• the method ‘paths’ has been removed and all the options are now accessible through ‘lmParams’ method

• Some NAMESPACE imports fixes.

• getGenomicRatioSetFromGEO added to read directly from GEO and create a GenomicsRatioSet. Thanks Tim Triche for writing the original function.

• makeGenomicRatioSetFromMatrix added. This function turns a matrix into a GenomicRatioSet. The 450K feature IDs need to be supplied or in the rownames of the matrix.

• makeGenomicRatioSetFromMatrix added to convert matrices to GenomicRatioSets. This can be useful for reading in files with beta values and turning into object that can be directly passed to bumphunter and blockFinder.

• readGEORawFile added to read raw intensity files provided as Supplementary Material on GEO. The files include the unmethylated and methylated signals. The new function returns a GenomicMethylSet which permits you to seamlessly apply minfi preprocessing functions.

• readTCGA is wrapper for makeGenomicRatioSetFromMatrix that reads in files in the TCGA format. The function is very specific to this format.

• Minor coding fixes including some NAMESPACE issues, missing pData<- methods, replace require() with requireNamespace().

• cpgCollapse now works for GenomicRatioSets since it no longer attempts to summarize CN data when passed a GenomicRatioSet.

• estimateCellCounts now works on only 2 cell types.

• Various NAMESPACE fixes.

• the gaphunter function by Shan Andrews has been added. We welcome Shan as a contributing author.

Changes in version 1.3.1:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Updated the citation information.

• Updated the help page of the package.

VariantAnnotation

Changes in version 1.14.0:

NEW FEATURES

• gVCF support: - missing END header written out with writeVcf() - expand() handles <NON_REF> ‘REF’ value

• support ‘Type=Character’ in INFO header fields

• add ‘row.names’ argument to expand()

• add ‘Efficient Usage’ section to readVcf() man page

• efficiency improvements to info(…, row.names=) - anyDuplicated() less expensive than any(duplicated()) - use row.names=FALSE when not needed, e.g., show()

• add genotypeCodesToNucleotides()

• add support for gvcf in isSNP family of functions

• add VcfFile and VcfFileList classes

• support ‘Type=Character’ of unspecified length (.)

• add isDelins() from Robert Castelo

• add makeVRangesFromGRanges() from Thomas Sandmann

MODIFICATIONS

• VCFHeader support: - SAMPLE and PEDIGREE header fields are now parsed
  • meta(VCFHeader) returns DataFrameList instead of DataFrame - show(VCFHeader) displays the outer list names in meta - fixed(VCFHeader) returns ‘ALT’ and ‘REF’ if present

• ‘ALT’ in expandedVCF output is DNAStringSet, not *List

• remove .listCumsum() and .listCumsumShifted() helpers

• add multiple INFO field unit test from Julian Gehring

• add additional expand() unit tests

• modify readVccfAsVRanges() to use ScanVcfParam() as the ‘param’; deprecate VRangesScanVcfParam

• replace mapCoords() with mapToTranscripts()

• change ‘CDSID’ output from integer to IntegerList in locateVariants() and predictCoding()

• add readVcf,character,ANY,ANY; remove readVcf,character,ANY,ScanVcfParam

• replace rowData() accessor with rowRanges()

• replace ‘rowData’ argument with ‘rowRanges’ (construct SE, VCF classes)

• replace getTranscriptSeqs() with extractTranscripts()

BUG FIXES

• readVcf() properly handles Seqinfo class as ‘genome’

• allow ‘ignore.strand’ to pass through mapCoords()

• writeVcf() no longer ignores rows with no genotype field

• expand() properly handles - less than all INFO fields are selected - VCF has only one row - only one INFO column

• don’t call path() on non-*File objects

• split (relist) of VRanges now yields a CompressedVRangesList

• predictCoding() now ignores zero-width ranges

VariantFiltering

Changes in version 1.4:

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

• Genome sequence is not fixed to a specific human genome anymore and can be parametrized via a BSgenome package

• The calculation of splice site strength on variants is now parametrized (the user can feed his/her own splice site matrices), optional and, by default, disabled because is quite computationally intensive and the user must be sure he/she wants to calculate it.

• PhastConsDb and MafDb support has been updated. Older PhastConsDb and MafDb annotation packages will likely don’t work with this newer version of VariantFilering. The user must upgrade also those annotation packages.

• Analysis functions unrelatedIndividuals(), autosomalRecessiveHomozygous(), etc. now can stream over the input VCF file to reduce the memory footprint.

• Multiple single-sample VCF files are no longer supported. The user must provide always a single multi-sample VCF file.

• Internally, the package uses now the VRanges-class to store variants and they can be now also retrieved in this container.

• Indels are now annotated separtely as Insertions and Deletions. Added the annotation of Delins (deletion followed by insertion).

• Added support for annotating non-SNVs using XtraSNPlocs.* packages.

• Added support for associating BAM files to the resulting VariantFilteringResults object.

• Added some basic variant visualization capabilities via de Gviz package and the support for associated BAM files.

• Added HGVS annotations at genomic, coding and protein level.

• Added annotations to Sequence Ontology terms.

• Changed the display of VariantFilteringResults objects and added a summary() method that returns a data.frame tallying variants to feature annotations, which can be either BioC/VariantAnnotation features or Sequence Ontology features.

• Updated the example VCF files of the CEU trio to include a smaller subset of variants but called with the latest version of the GATK pipeline. Added a subset of the corresponding BAM files with aligned reads around the 1Kb region of some of the called variants.

• Integration of the IRanges/FilterRules mechanism into the filtering functionality, enabling the addition of user-specific filters.

BUG FIXES

• Some bugfixes related to matching the sequence style between variants, annotations and genome sequence.
