New Software Packages

There are 88 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

• AnnotationFilter This package provides class and other infrastructure to implement filters for manipulating Bioconductor annotation resources. The filters will be used by ensembldb, Organism.dplyr, and other packages.

• ATACseqQC ATAC-seq, an assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing, is a rapid and sensitive method for chromatin accessibility analysis. It was developed as an alternative method to MNase-seq, FAIRE-seq and DNAse-seq. Comparing to the other methods, ATAC-seq requires less amount of the biological samples and time to process. In the process of analyzing several ATAC-seq dataset produced in our labs, we learned some of the unique aspects of the quality assessment for ATAC-seq data.To help users to quickly assess whether their ATAC-seq experiment is successful, we developed ATACseqQC package partially following the guideline published in Nature Method 2013 (Greenleaf et al.), including diagnostic plot of fragment size distribution, proportion of mitochondria reads, nucleosome positioning pattern, and CTCF or other Transcript Factor footprints.

• banocc BAnOCC is a package designed for compositional data, where each sample sums to one. It infers the approximate covariance of the unconstrained data using a Bayesian model coded with rstan. It provides as output the stanfit object as well as posterior median and credible interval estimates for each correlation element.

• basecallQC The basecallQC package provides tools to work with Illumina bcl2Fastq (versions >= 2.1.7) software.Prior to basecalling and demultiplexing using the bcl2Fastq software, basecallQC functions allow the user to update Illumina sample sheets from versions <= 1.8.9 to >= 2.1.7 standards, clean sample sheets of common problems such as invalid sample names and IDs, create read and index basemasks and the bcl2Fastq command. Following the generation of basecalled and demultiplexed data, the basecallQC packages allows the user to generate HTML tables, plots and a self contained report of summary metrics from Illumina XML output files.

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

• BioCor Calculates functional similarities based on the pathways described on KEGG and REACTOME or in gene sets. These similarities can be calculated for pathways or gene sets, genes, or clusters and combined with other similarities. They can be used to improve networks, gene selection, testing relationships…

• BioMedR The BioMedR package offers an R/Bioconductor package generating various molecular representations for chemicals, proteins, DNAs/RNAs and their interactions.

• biotmle This package facilitates the discovery of biomarkers from biological sequencing data (e.g., microarrays, RNA-seq) based on the associations of potential biomarkers with exposure and outcome variables by implementing an estimation procedure that combines a generalization of the moderated t-statistic with asymptotically linear statistical parameters estimated via targeted minimum loss-based estimation (TMLE).

• BLMA Suit of tools for bi-level meta-analysis. The package can be used in a wide range of applications, including general hypothesis testings, differential expression analysis, functional analysis, and pathway analysis.

• BPRMeth BPRMeth package uses the Binomial Probit Regression likelihood to model methylation profiles and extract higher order features. These features quantitate precisely notions of shape of a methylation profile. Using these higher order features across promoter-proximal regions, we construct a powerful predictor of gene expression. Also, these features are used to cluster proximal-promoter regions using the EM algorithm.

• branchpointer Predicts branchpoint probability for sites in intronic branchpoint windows. Queries can be supplied as intronic regions; or to evaluate the effects of mutations, SNPs.

• BUMHMM This is a probabilistic modelling pipeline for computing per- nucleotide posterior probabilities of modification from the data collected in structure probing experiments. The model supports multiple experimental replicates and empirically corrects coverage- and sequence-dependent biases. The model utilises the measure of a “drop-off rate” for each nucleotide, which is compared between replicates through a log-ratio (LDR). The LDRs between control replicates define a null distribution of variability in drop-off rate observed by chance and LDRs between treatment and control replicates gets compared to this distribution. Resulting empirical p-values (probability of being “drawn” from the null distribution) are used as observations in a Hidden Markov Model with a Beta-Uniform Mixture model used as an emission model. The resulting posterior probabilities indicate the probability of a nucleotide of having being modified in a structure probing experiment.

• CATALYST Mass cytometry (CyTOF) uses heavy metal isotopes rather than fluorescent tags as reporters to label antibodies, thereby substantially decreasing spectral overlap and allowing for examination of over 50 parameters at the single cell level. While spectral overlap is significantly less pronounced in CyTOF than flow cytometry, spillover due to detection sensitivity, isotopic impurities, and oxide formation can impede data interpretability. We designed CATALYST (Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools) to provide a pipeline for preprocessing of cytometry data, including i) normalization using bead standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation.

• cellbaseR This R package makes use of the exhaustive RESTful Web service API that has been implemented for the Cellabase database. It enable researchers to query and obtain a wealth of biological information from a single database saving a lot of time. Another benefit is that researchers can easily make queries about different biological topics and link all this information together as all information is integrated.

• cellscape CellScape facilitates interactive browsing of single cell clonal evolution datasets. The tool requires two main inputs: (i) the genomic content of each single cell in the form of either copy number segments or targeted mutation values, and (ii) a single cell phylogeny. Phylogenetic formats can vary from dendrogram-like phylogenies with leaf nodes to evolutionary model-derived phylogenies with observed or latent internal nodes. The CellScape phylogeny is flexibly input as a table of source-target edges to support arbitrary representations, where each node may or may not have associated genomic data. The output of CellScape is an interactive interface displaying a single cell phylogeny and a cell-by-locus genomic heatmap representing the mutation status in each cell for each locus.

• chimeraviz chimeraviz manages data from fusion gene finders and provides useful visualization tools.

• ChIPexoQual Package with a quality control pipeline for ChIP-exo/nexus data.

• clusterSeq Identification of clusters of co-expressed genes based on their expression across multiple (replicated) biological samples.

• coseq Co-expression analysis for expression profiles arising from high-throughput sequencing data. Feature (e.g., gene) profiles are clustered using adapted transformations and mixture models or a K-means algorithm, and model selection criteria (to choose an appropriate number of clusters) are provided.

• cydar Identifies differentially abundant populations between samples and groups in mass cytometry data. Provides methods for counting cells into hyperspheres, controlling the spatial false discovery rate, and visualizing changes in abundance in the high-dimensional marker space.

• DaMiRseq The DaMiRseq package offers a tidy pipeline of data mining procedures to identify transcriptional biomarkers and exploit them for classification purposes.. The package accepts any kind of data presented as a table of raw counts and allows including covariates that occur with the experimental setting. A series of functions enable the user to clean up the data by filtering genomic features and samples, to adjust data by identifying and removing the unwanted source of variation (i.e. batches and confounding factors) and to select the best predictors for modeling. Finally, a ``Stacking’’ ensemble learning technique is applied to build a robust classification model. Every step includes a checkpoint that the user may exploit to assess the effects of data management by looking at diagnostic plots, such as clustering and heatmaps, RLE boxplots, MDS or correlation plot.

• DelayedArray Wrapping an array-like object (typically an on-disk object) in a DelayedArray object allows one to perform common array operations on it without loading the object in memory. In order to reduce memory usage and optimize performance, operations on the object are either delayed or executed using a block processing mechanism. Note that this also works on in-memory array-like objects like DataFrame objects (typically with Rle columns), Matrix objects, and ordinary arrays and data frames.

• discordant Discordant is a method to determine differential correlation of molecular feature pairs from -omics data using mixture models. Algorithm is explained further in Siska et al.

• DMRScan This package detects significant differentially methylated regions (for both qualitative and quantitative traits), using a scan statistic with underlying Poisson heuristics. The scan statistic will depend on a sequence of window sizes (# of CpGs within each window) and on a threshold for each window size. This threshold can be calculated by three different means: i) analytically using Siegmund et.al (2012) solution (preferred), ii) an important sampling as suggested by Zhang (2008), and a iii) full MCMC modeling of the data, choosing between a number of different options for modeling the dependency between each CpG.

• epiNEM epiNEM is an extension of the original Nested Effects Models (NEM). EpiNEM is able to take into account double knockouts and infer more complex network signalling pathways.

• EventPointer EventPointer is an R package to identify alternative splicing events that involve either simple (case-control experiment) or complex experimental designs such as time course experiments and studies including paired-samples. The algorithm can be used to analyze data from either junction arrays (Affymetrix Arrays) or sequencing data (RNA-Seq). The software returns a data.frame with the detected alternative splicing events: gene name, type of event (cassette, alternative 3’,…,etc), genomic position, statistical significance and increment of the percent spliced in (Delta PSI) for all the events. The algorithm can generate a series of files to visualize the detected alternative splicing events in IGV. This eases the interpretation of results and the design of primers for standard PCR validation.

• flowTime This package was developed for analysis of both dynamic and steady state experiments examining the function of gene regulatory networks in yeast (strain W303) expressing fluorescent reporter proteins using a BD Accuri C6 and SORP cytometers. However, the functions are for the most part general and may be adapted for analysis of other organisms using other flow cytometers. Functions in this package facilitate the annotation of flow cytometry data with experimental metadata, as is requisite for dissemination and general ease-of-use. Functions for creating, saving and loading gate sets are also included. In the past, we have typically generated summary statistics for each flowset for each timepoint and then annotated and analyzed these summary statistics. This method loses a great deal of the power that comes from the large amounts of individual cell data generated in flow cytometry, by essentially collapsing this data into a bulk measurement after subsetting. In addition to these summary functions, this package also contains functions to facilitate annotation and analysis of steady-state or time-lapse data utilizing all of the data collected from the thousands of individual cells in each sample.

• funtooNorm Provides a function to normalize Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip (Illumina 450K), correcting for tissue and/or cell type.

• GA4GHclient GA4GHclient provides an easy way to access public data servers through Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) genomics API. It provides low-level access to GA4GH API and translates response data into Bioconductor-based class objects.

• gcapc Peak calling for ChIP-seq data with consideration of potential GC bias in sequencing reads. GC bias is first estimated with generalized linear mixture models using weighted GC strategy, then applied into peak significance estimation.

- geneClassifiers This packages aims for easy accessible application of classifiers which have been published in literature using an ExpressionSet as input.

• GenomicDataCommons Programmatically access the NIH / NCI Genomic Data Commons RESTful service.

• GenomicScores Provide infrastructure to store and access genomewide position-specific scores within R and Bioconductor.

• GISPA GISPA is a method intended for the researchers who are interested in defining gene sets with similar, a priori specified molecular profile. GISPA method has been previously published in Nucleic Acid Research (Kowalski et al., 2016; PMID: 26826710).

• goSTAG Gene lists derived from the results of genomic analyses are rich in biological information. For instance, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from a microarray or RNA-Seq analysis are related functionally in terms of their response to a treatment or condition. Gene lists can vary in size, up to several thousand genes, depending on the robustness of the perturbations or how widely different the conditions are biologically. Having a way to associate biological relatedness between hundreds and thousands of genes systematically is impractical by manually curating the annotation and function of each gene. Over-representation analysis (ORA) of genes was developed to identify biological themes. Given a Gene Ontology (GO) and an annotation of genes that indicate the categories each one fits into, significance of the over-representation of the genes within the ontological categories is determined by a Fisher’s exact test or modeling according to a hypergeometric distribution. Comparing a small number of enriched biological categories for a few samples is manageable using Venn diagrams or other means for assessing overlaps. However, with hundreds of enriched categories and many samples, the comparisons are laborious. Furthermore, if there are enriched categories that are shared between samples, trying to represent a common theme across them is highly subjective. goSTAG uses GO subtrees to tag and annotate genes within a set. goSTAG visualizes the similarities between the over-representation of DEGs by clustering the p-values from the enrichment statistical tests and labels clusters with the GO term that has the most paths to the root within the subtree generated from all the GO terms in the cluster.

• GRridge This package allows the use of multiple sources of co-data (e.g. external p-values, gene lists, annotation) to improve prediction of binary, continuous and survival response using (logistic, linear or Cox) group-regularized ridge regression. It also facilitates post-hoc variable selection and prediction diagnostics by cross-validation using ROC curves and AUC.

• heatmaps This package provides functions for plotting heatmaps of genome-wide data across genomic intervals, such as ChIP-seq signals at peaks or across promoters. Many functions are also provided for investigating sequence features.

• hicrep Hi-C is a powerful technology for studying genome-wide chromatin interactions. However, current methods for assessing Hi-C data reproducibility can produce misleading results because they ignore spatial features in Hi-C data, such as domain structure and distance-dependence. We present a novel reproducibility measure that systematically takes these features into consideration. This measure can assess pairwise differences between Hi-C matrices under a wide range of settings, and can be used to determine optimal sequencing depth. Compared to existing approaches, it consistently shows higher accuracy in distinguishing subtle differences in reproducibility and depicting interrelationships of cell lineages than existing approaches. This R package hicrep implements our approach.

• ideal This package provides functions for an Interactive Differential Expression AnaLysis of RNA-sequencing datasets, to extract quickly and effectively information downstream the step of differential expression. A Shiny application encapsulates the whole package.

• IMAS Integrative analysis of Multi-omics data for Alternative splicing.

• ImpulseDE2 ImpulseDE2 is a differential expression algorithm for longitudinal count data sets which arise in sequencing experiments such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq and DNaseI-seq. ImpulseDE2 is based on a negative binomial noise model with dispersion trend smoothing by DESeq2 and uses the impulse model to constrain the mean expression trajectory of each gene. The impulse model was empirically found to fit global expression changes in cells after environmental and developmental stimuli and is therefore appropriate in most cell biological scenarios. The constraint on the mean expression trajectory prevents overfitting to small expression fluctuations. Secondly, ImpulseDE2 has higher statistical testing power than generalized linear model-based differential expression algorithms which fit time as a categorial variable if more than six time points are sampled because of the fixed number of parameters.

• IntEREst This package performs Intron-Exon Retention analysis on RNA-seq data (.bam files).

• IWTomics Implementation of the Interval-Wise Testing (IWT) for omics data. This inferential procedure tests for differences in “Omics” data between two groups of genomic regions (or between a group of genomic regions and a reference center of symmetry), and does not require fixing location and scale at the outset.

• karyoploteR karyoploteR creates karyotype plots of arbitrary genomes and offers a complete set of functions to plot arbitrary data on them. It mimicks many R base graphics functions coupling them with a coordinate change function automatically mapping the chromosome and data coordinates into the plot coordinates. In addition to the provided data plotting functions, it is easy to add new ones.

• Logolas Produces logo plots of a variety of symbols and names comprising English alphabets, numerics and punctuations. Can be used for sequence motif generation, mutation pattern generation, protein amino acid geenration and symbol strength representation in any generic context.

• mapscape MapScape integrates clonal prevalence, clonal hierarchy, anatomic and mutational information to provide interactive visualization of spatial clonal evolution. There are four inputs to MapScape: (i) the clonal phylogeny, (ii) clonal prevalences, (iii) an image reference, which may be a medical image or drawing and (iv) pixel locations for each sample on the referenced image. Optionally, MapScape can accept a data table of mutations for each clone and their variant allele frequencies in each sample. The output of MapScape consists of a cropped anatomical image surrounded by two representations of each tumour sample. The first, a cellular aggregate, visually displays the prevalence of each clone. The second shows a skeleton of the clonal phylogeny while highlighting only those clones present in the sample. Together, these representations enable the analyst to visualize the distribution of clones throughout anatomic space.

• MaxContrastProjection A problem when recording 3D fluorescent microscopy images is how to properly present these results in 2D. Maximum intensity projections are a popular method to determine the focal plane of each pixel in the image. The problem with this approach, however, is that out-of-focus elements will still be visible, making edges and fine structures difficult to detect. This package aims to resolve this problem by using the contrast around a given pixel to determine the focal plane, allowing for a much cleaner structure detection than would be otherwise possible. For convenience, this package also contains functions to perform various other types of projections, including a maximum intensity projection.

• MCbiclust Custom made algorithm and associated methods for finding, visualising and analysing biclusters in large gene expression data sets. Algorithm is based on with a supplied gene set of size n, finding the maximum strength correlation matrix containing m samples from the data set.

• metavizr This package provides Websocket communication to the metaviz web app (http://metaviz.cbcb.umd.edu) for interactive visualization of metagenomics data. Objects in R/bioc interactive sessions can be displayed in plots and data can be explored using a facetzoom visualization. Fundamental Bioconductor data structures are supported (e.g., MRexperiment objects), while providing an easy mechanism to support other data structures. Visualizations (using d3.js) can be easily added to the web app as well.

• methylInheritance Permutation analysis, based on Monte Carlo sampling, for testing the hypothesis that the number of conserved differentially methylated elements, between several generations, is associated to an effect inherited from a treatment and that stochastic effect can be dismissed.

• MIGSA Massive and Integrative Gene Set Analysis. The MIGSA package allows to perform a massive and integrative gene set analysis over several expression and gene sets simultaneously. It provides a common gene expression analytic framework that grants a comprehensive and coherent analysis. Only a minimal user parameter setting is required to perform both singular and gene set enrichment analyses in an integrative manner by means of the best available methods, i.e. dEnricher and mGSZrespectively. The greatest strengths of this big omics data tool are the availability of several functions to explore, analyze and visualize its results in order to facilitate the data mining task over huge information sources. MIGSA package also provides several functions that allow to easily load the most updated gene sets from several repositories.

• mimager Easily visualize and inspect microarrays for spatial artifacts.

• motifcounter ‘motifcounter’ provides functionality to compute the statistics related with motif matching and counting of motif matches in DNA sequences. As an input, ‘motifcounter’ requires a motif in terms of a position frequency matrix (PFM). Furthermore, a set of DNA sequences is required to estimated a higher-order background model (BGM). The package provides functions to investigate the the per-position and per strand log-likelihood scores between the PFM and the BGM across a given sequence of set of sequences. Furthermore, the package facilitates motif matching based on an automatically derived score threshold. To this end the distribution of scores is efficiently determined and the score threshold is chosen for a user-prescribed significance level. This allows to control for the false positive rate. Moreover, ‘motifcounter’ implements a motif match enrichment test based on two the number of motif matches that are expected in random DNA sequences. Motif enrichment is facilitated by either a compound Poisson approximation or a combinatorial approximation of the motif match counts. Both models take higher-order background models, the motif’s self-similarity, and hits on both DNA strands into account. The package is in particular useful for long motifs and/or relaxed choices of score thresholds, because the implemented algorithms efficiently bypass the need for enumerating a (potentially huge) set of DNA words that can give rise to a motif match.

• msgbsR Pipeline for the anaysis of a MS-GBS experiment.

• multiOmicsViz Calculate the spearman correlation between the source omics data and other target omics data, identify the significant correlations and plot the significant correlations on the heat map in which the x-axis and y-axis are ordered by the chromosomal location.

Key functionalities of the package include: quality control analysis of metabonomic data; MWAS using different association models (partial correlations; generalized linear models); model validation using non-parametric bootstrapping; visualization of MWAS results; NMR metabolite identification using STOCSY.

• NADfinder Call peaks for two samples: target and control. It will count the reads for tiles of the genome and then convert it to ratios. The ratios will be corrected and smoothed. The z-scores is calculated for each counting windows over the background. The peaks will be detected based on z-scores.

• netReg netReg fits linear regression models using network-penalization. Graph prior knowledge, in the form of biological networks, is being incorporated into the likelihood of the linear model. The networks describe biological relationships such as co-regulation or dependency of the same transcription factors/metabolites/etc. yielding a part sparse and part smooth solution for coefficient profiles.

• Organism.dplyr This package provides an alternative interface to Bioconductor ‘annotation’ resources, in particular the gene identifier mapping functionality of the ‘org’ packages (e.g., org.Hs.eg.db) and the genome coordinate functionality of the ‘TxDb’ packages (e.g., TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene).

• pathprint Algorithms to convert a gene expression array provided as an expression table or a GEO reference to a ‘pathway fingerprint’, a vector of discrete ternary scores representing high (1), low(-1) or insignificant (0) expression in a suite of pathways.

• pgca Protein Group Code Algorithm (PGCA) is a computationally inexpensive algorithm to merge protein summaries from multiple experimental quantitative proteomics data. The algorithm connects two or more groups with overlapping accession numbers. In some cases, pairwise groups are mutually exclusive but they may still be connected by another group (or set of groups) with overlapping accession numbers. Thus, groups created by PGCA from multiple experimental runs (i.e., global groups) are called “connected” groups. These identified global protein groups enable the analysis of quantitative data available for protein groups instead of unique protein identifiers.

• phosphonormalizer It uses the overlap between enriched and non-enriched datasets to compensate for the bias introduced in global phosphorylation after applying median normalization.

• POST Perform orthogonal projection of high dimensional data of a set, and statistical modeling of phenotye with projected vectors as predictor.

• PPInfer Interactions between proteins occur in many, if not most, biological processes. Most proteins perform their functions in networks associated with other proteins and other biomolecules. This fact has motivated the development of a variety of experimental methods for the identification of protein interactions. This variety has in turn urshered in the development of numerous different computational approaches for modeling and predicting protein interactions. Sometimes an experiment is aimed at identifying proteins closely related to some interesting proteins. A network based statistical learning method is used to infer the putative functions of proteins from the known functions of its neighboring proteins on a PPI network. This package identifies such proteins often involved in the same or similar biological functions.

• RaggedExperiment This package provides a flexible representation of copy number, mutation, and other data that fit into the ragged array schema for genomic location data. The basic representation of such data provides a rectangular flat table interface to the user with range information in the rows and samples/specimen in the columns.

• ramwas RaMWAS provides a complete toolset for methylome-wide association studies (MWAS). It is specifically designed for data from enrichment based methylation assays, but can be applied to other data as well. The analysis pipeline includes seven steps: (1) scanning aligned reads from BAM files, (2) calculation of quality control measures, (3) creation of methylation score (coverage) matrix, (4) principal component analysis for capturing batch effects and detection of outliers, (5) association analysis with respect to phenotypes of interest while correcting for top PCs and known covariates, (6) annotation of significant findings, and (7) multi-marker analysis (methylation risk score) using elastic net. Additionally, RaMWAS include tools for joint analysis of methlyation and genotype data.

• REMP Machine learing-based tools to predict DNA methylation of locus-specific repetitive elements (RE) by learning surrounding genetic and epigenetic information. These tools provide genomewide and single-base resolution of DNA methylation prediction on RE that are difficult to measure using array-based or sequencing-based platforms, which enables epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) and differentially methylated region (DMR) analysis on RE.

• RITAN Tools for comprehensive gene set enrichment and extraction of multi-resource high confidence subnetworks.

• RIVER An implementation of a probabilistic modeling framework that jointly analyzes personal genome and transcriptome data to estimate the probability that a variant has regulatory impact in that individual. It is based on a generative model that assumes that genomic annotations, such as the location of a variant with respect to regulatory elements, determine the prior probability that variant is a functional regulatory variant, which is an unobserved variable. The functional regulatory variant status then influences whether nearby genes are likely to display outlier levels of gene expression in that person. See the RIVER website for more information, documentation and examples.

• RJMCMCNucleosomes This package does nucleosome positioning using informative Multinomial-Dirichlet prior in a t-mixture with reversible jump estimation of nucleosome positions for genome-wide profiling.

• RnaSeqGeneEdgeRQL A workflow package for RNA-Seq experiments

• rqt Despite the recent advances of modern GWAS methods, it still remains an important problem of addressing calculation an effect size and corresponding p-value for the whole gene rather than for single variant. The R- package rqt offers gene-level GWAS meta-analysis. For more information, see: “Gene-set association tests for next-generation sequencing data” by Lee et al (2016), Bioinformatics, 32(17), i611-i619, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw429>.

• RTNduals RTNduals is a tool that searches for possible co-regulatory loops between regulon pairs generated by the RTN package. It compares the shared targets in order to infer ‘dual regulons’, a new concept that tests whether regulon pairs agree on the predicted downstream effects.

• samExploreR This R package is designed for subsampling procedure to simulate sequencing experiments with reduced sequencing depth. This package can be used to anlayze data generated from all major sequencing platforms such as Illumina GA, HiSeq, MiSeq, Roche GS-FLX, ABI SOLiD and LifeTech Ion PGM Proton sequencers. It supports multiple operating systems incluidng Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Solaris. Was developed with usage of Rsubread.

• sampleClassifier The package is designed to classify gene expression profiles.

• scDD This package implements a method to analyze single-cell RNA- seq Data utilizing flexible Dirichlet Process mixture models. Genes with differential distributions of expression are classified into several interesting patterns of differences between two conditions. The package also includes functions for simulating data with these patterns from negative binomial distributions.

• scone SCONE is an R package for comparing and ranking the performance of different normalization schemes for single-cell RNA-seq and other high-throughput analyses.

• semisup This R packages moves away from testing interaction terms, and move towards testing whether an individual SNP is involved in any interaction. This reduces the multiple testing burden to one test per SNP, and allows for interactions with unobserved factors. Analysing one SNP at a time, it splits the individuals into two groups, based on the number of minor alleles. If the quantitative trait differs in mean between the two groups, the SNP has a main effect. If the quantitative trait differs in distribution between some individuals in one group and all other individuals, it possibly has an interactive effect. Implicitly, the membership probabilities may suggest potential interacting variables.

• sparseDOSSA The package is to provide a model based Bayesian method to characterize and simulate microbiome data. sparseDOSSA’s model captures the marginal distribution of each microbial feature as a truncated, zero-inflated log-normal distribution, with parameters distributed as a parent log-normal distribution. The model can be effectively fit to reference microbial datasets in order to parameterize their microbes and communities, or to simulate synthetic datasets of similar population structure. Most importantly, it allows users to include both known feature-feature and feature-metadata correlation structures and thus provides a gold standard to enable benchmarking of statistical methods for metagenomic data analysis.

• splatter Splatter is a package for the simulation of single-cell RNA sequencing count data. It provides a simple interface for creating complex simulations that are reproducible and well-documented. Parameters can be estimated from real data and functions are provided for comparing real and simulated datasets.

• STROMA4 This package estimates four stromal properties identified in TNBC patients in each patient of a gene expression datasets. These stromal property assignments can be combined to subtype patients. These four stromal properties were identified in Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and represent the presence of different cells in the stroma: T-cells (T), B-cells (B), stromal infiltrating epithelial cells (E), and desmoplasia (D). Additionally this package can also be used to estimate generative properties for the Lehmann subtypes, an alternative TNBC subtyping scheme (PMID: 21633166).

• swfdr This package allows users to estimate the science-wise false discovery rate from Jager and Leek, “Empirical estimates suggest most published medical research is true,” 2013, Biostatistics, using an EM approach due to the presence of rounding and censoring. It also allows users to estimate the proportion of true null hypotheses in the presence of covariates, using a regression framework, as per Boca and Leek, “A regression framework for the proportion of true null hypotheses,” 2015, bioRxiv preprint.

• TCGAbiolinksGUI “TCGAbiolinksGUI: A Graphical User Interface to analyze cancer molecular and clinical data. A demo version of GUI is found in https://tcgabiolinksgui.shinyapps.io/tcgabiolinks/”

• TCseq Quantitative and differential analysis of epigenomic and transcriptomic time course sequencing data, clustering analysis and visualization of temporal patterns of time course data.

• timescape TimeScape is an automated tool for navigating temporal clonal evolution data. The key attributes of this implementation involve the enumeration of clones, their evolutionary relationships and their shifting dynamics over time. TimeScape requires two inputs: (i) the clonal phylogeny and (ii) the clonal prevalences. Optionally, TimeScape accepts a data table of targeted mutations observed in each clone and their allele prevalences over time. The output is the TimeScape plot showing clonal prevalence vertically, time horizontally, and the plot height optionally encoding tumour volume during tumour-shrinking events. At each sampling time point (denoted by a faint white line), the height of each clone accurately reflects its proportionate prevalence. These prevalences form the anchors for bezier curves that visually represent the dynamic transitions between time points.

• treeio Base classes and functions for parsing and exporting phylogenetic trees.

• TSRchitect In recent years, large-scale transcriptional sequence data has yielded considerable insights into the nature of gene expression and regulation in eukaryotes. Techniques that identify the 5’ end of mRNAs, most notably CAGE, have mapped the promoter landscape across a number of model organisms. Due to the variability of TSS distributions and the transcriptional noise present in datasets, precisely identifying the active promoter(s) for genes from these datasets is not straightforward. TSRchitect allows the user to efficiently identify the putative promoter (the transcription start region, or TSR) from a variety of TSS profiling data types, including both single-end (e.g. CAGE) as well as paired-end (RAMPAGE, PEAT). Along with the coordiantes of identified TSRs, TSRchitect also calculates the width, abundance and Shape Index, and handles biological replicates for expression profiling. Finally, TSRchitect imports annotation files, allowing the user to associate identified promoters with genes and other genomic features. Three detailed examples of TSRchitect’s utility are provided in the User’s Guide, included with this package.

• twoddpcr The twoddpcr package takes Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) droplet amplitude data from Bio-Rad’s QuantaSoft and can classify the droplets. A summary of the positive/negative droplet counts can be generated, which can then be used to estimate the number of molecules using the Poisson distribution. This is the first open source package that facilitates the automatic classification of general two channel ddPCR data. Previous work includes ‘definetherain’ (Jones et al., 2014) and ‘ddpcRquant’ (Trypsteen et al., 2015) which both handle one channel ddPCR experiments only. The ‘ddpcr’ package available on CRAN (Attali et al., 2016) supports automatic gating of a specific class of two channel ddPCR experiments only.

• wiggleplotr Tools to visualise read coverage from sequencing experiments together with genomic annotations (genes, transcripts, peaks). Introns of long transcripts can be rescaled to a fixed length for better visualisation of exonic read coverage.

aroma.light

Changes in version 3.5.1 (2017-04-14):

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

• robustSmoothSpline() uses a re-weighted re-iterative algorithm that fits a smooth spline using stats::smooth.spline(), calculates the residuals and which are used to fit a re-weighted smooth spline and so on until converence. Due to updates to stats::smooth.spline() in R (>= 3.4.0) it is no longer feasible to maintain a highly optimized version of the algorithm, because it was based on internal stats::smooth.spline() code that has no completely changed. Instead the re-iterative algorithm calls stats::smooth.spline() as is, which slows it down. More importantly, it will now give slightly different estimates.

SOFTWARE QUALITY

• In addition to continous integration (CI) tests and nightly Bioconductor tests, the package is now also tested regularly against all reverse package depencies available on CRAN and Bioconductor.

Changes in version 3.5.0 (2016-10-18):

• Modified champ.DMR() function, for ProbeLasso, there is no need to input myDMP anymore, ProbeLasso function would calculate inside the function.

chipenrich

Changes in version 2.0.0:

NEW FEATURES

• A new method for enrichment, polyenrich() is designed for gene set enrichment of experiments where the presence of multiple peaks in a gene is accounted for in the model. Use the polyenrich() function for this method.

• New features resulting from chipenrich.data 2.0.0:

• New genomes in chipenrich.data: danRer10, dm6, hg38, rn5, and rn6.

• Reactome for fly in chipenrich.data.

• Added locus definitions, GO gene sets, and Reactome gene sets for zebrafish.

• All genomes have the following locus definitions: nearest_tss, nearest_gene, exon, intron, 1kb, 5kb, 10kb, 1kb_outside_upstream, 5kb_outside_upstream, 10kb_outside_upstream, 1kb_outside, 5kb_outside, and 10kb_outside.

IMPROVEMENTS

• The chipenrich method is now significantly faster. Chris Lee figured out that spline calculations in chipenrich are not required for each gene set. Now a spline is calculated as peak ~ s(log10_length) and used for all gene sets. The correlation between the resulting p-values is nearly always 1. Unfortunately, this approach cannot be used for broadenrich().

• The chipenrich(…, method=’chipenrich’, …) function automatically uses this faster method.

• Clarified documentation for the supported_locusdefs() to give explanations for what each locus definition is.

• Use sys.call() to report options used in chipenrich() in opts.tab output. We previously used as.list(environment()) which would also output entire data.frames if peaks were loaded in as a data.frame.

• Various updates to the vignette to reflect new features.

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• As a result of updates to chipenrich.data, ENRICHMENT RESULTS MAY DIFFER between chipenrich 1.Y.Z and chipenrich 2.Y.Z. This is because revised versions of all genomes have been used to update LocusDefinitions, and GO and Reactome gene sets have been updated to more recent versions.

• The broadenrich method is now its own function, broadenrich(), instead of chipenrich(…, method = ‘broadenrich’, …).

• User interface for mappability has been streamlined. ‘mappability’ parameter in broadenrich(), chipenrich(), and polyenrich() functions replaces the three parameters previously used: ‘use_mappability’, ‘mappa_file’, and ‘read_length’. The unified ‘mappability’ parameter can be ‘NULL’, a file path, or a string indicating the read length for mappability, e.g. ‘24’.

• A formerly hidden API for randomizations to assess Type I Error rates for data sets is now exposed to the user. Each of the enrich functions has a ‘randomization’ parameter. See documentation and vignette for details.

• Many functions with the ‘genome’ parameter had a default of ‘hg19’, which was not ideal. Now users must specify a genome and it is checked against supported_genomes().

• Input files are read according to their file extension. Supported extensions are bed, gff3, wig, bedGraph, narrowPeak, and broadPeak. Arbitrary extensions are also supported, but there can be no header, and the first three columns must be chr, start, and end.

SIGNIFICANT BACKEND CHANGES

• Harmonize all code touching LocusDefinition and tss objects to reflect changes in chipenrich.data 2.0.0.

• Alter setup_ldef() function to add symbol column. If a valid genome is used use orgDb to get eg2symbol mappings and fill in for the user. Users can give their own symbol column which will override using orgDb. Finally, if neither symbol column or valid genome is used, symbols are set to NA.

• Any instance of ‘geneid’ or ‘names’ to refer to Entrez Gene IDs are now ‘gene_id’ for consistency.

• Refactor read_bed() function as a wrapper for rtracklayer::import().

• Automatic extension handling of BED3-6, gff3, wig, or bedGraph.

• With some additional code, automatic extension handling of narrowPeak and broadPeak.

• Backwards compatible with arbitrary extensions: this still assumes that the first three columns are chr, start, end.

• The purpose of this refactor is to enable additional covariates for the peaks for possible use in future methods.

• Refactor load_peaks() to use GenomicRanges::makeGRangesFromDataFrame().

• Filtering gene sets is now based on the locus definition, and can be done from below (min) or above (max). Defaults are 15 and 2000, respectively.

• Randomizations are all done on the LocusDefinition object.

• Added lots of unit tests to increase test coverage.

• Make Travis builds use sartorlab/chipenrich.data version of data package for faster testing.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Calling the broadenrich method with chipenrich(…, method = ‘broadenrich’, …) is no longer valid. Instead, use broadenrich().

• Various utility functions that were used in the original development have been removed. Users never saw or used them.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed bug in randomization with length bins where artifactually, randomizations would sort genes on Entrez ID introducing problems in Type I error rate.

• Fixed a bug where the dependent variable used in the enrichment model was used to name the rows of the enrichment results. This could be confusing for users. Now, rownames are simply integers.

• Fixed a bug that expected the result of read_bed() to be a list of IRanges from initial development. Big speed bump.

Changes in version 1.12.1:

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a bug in the check for proper organism + geneset combinations. Prevented combinations that are actually valid from running.

• The classification step now uses a mew method for separation scoring and fixes a previous bug which could occur when group sizes were not equal. This change is reflected in the vignette.

• Fixed bug in concatenation c(), when some iterations fail for a specific comparison thus causing a error when concatenating permute results.

Changes in version 1.1.9 (2017-04-19):

User Visible Changes

• Users may now specify one or more internal standard sizes in functions FlowHist() and batchFlowHist(), via the argument ‘standards’. These values will be presented to the user in the browseFlowHist() viewer, and after being set by the user, the value will be used to calculate the GC size in pg in the function tabulateFlowHist.

• Users may now select which peak in the histogram to treat as the internal standard when calculating GC values.

• New vignettes added: “Getting Started”, and “Histogram Tour”.

• Old vignette “overview” removed.

• Internal help pages greatly expanded, including many internal functions. See ?flowPloidy for an overview

• Many minor bug fixes and GUI tweaks (for browseFlowHist).

Changes in version 1.1.3 (2016-11-25):

User Visible Changes

• Gating fully implemented in browseFlowHist! Major reorganization of the browseFlowHist layout.

Changes in version 1.1.2 (2016-11-22):

User Visible Changes

• Added support for processing files with two standards present. A new argument is available for functions that load FCS files (batchFlowHist, FlowHist etc.): samples. By default this is set to 2, to account for a single unknown and an co-chopped standard. If you are using two co-chopped standards (or really anytime you have three distinct samples chopped together), set samples = 3. This can also be changed interactively in the browseFlowHist GUI.

• The layout of the browseFlowHist GUI has been re-arranged somewhat to accomodate the new features mentioned above.

• The linearity flag is over-ridden when no G2 peaks are present. Without a G2 peak, linearity can’t be properly fit. This leads to linear gradients, because the linearity parameter is used in the S-phase components.

Changes in version 1.1.1 (2016-10-26):

Internal Changes

• Improved peak finding algorithm

• Reduced region searched for the starting bin for model fitting. Was originally 20, now set to 10. Need more data to establish best approach.

GenomeInfoDb

Changes in version 1.12.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add function standardChromosomes()

• Seqlevels() setter now supports “fine” and “tidy” modes on GRangesList and GAlignmentsList objects

• Add assembly_accessions dataset

MODIFICATIONS

• Updated mapping table between UCSC and Ensembl to include recent builds

• Use https instead of http to fetch stuff from NCBI

• Replace ‘force=TRUE’ with ‘pruning.mode=”coarse”’ in seqlevels() setter

• Add ‘pruning.mode’ argument to the keepSeqlevels(), dropSeqlevels(), and keepStandardChromosomes() functions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Like for the seqlevels() setter, the default pruning mode is “error”, which means that now these functions fail when some of the seqlevels to drop from ‘x’ are in use. The old behavior was to silently prune ‘x’ (doing “coarse” pruning)

• Update files in data directory

• Updated internal functions .lookup_refseq_assembly_accession() and fetch_assembly_report() for speed and efficiency

• move some files from GenomeInfoDb/data/ to GenomeInfoDbData annotation package

BUG FIXES

• fetch_assembly_summary() updated to work with recent changes to format of files assembly_summary_genbank.txt and assembly_summary_refseq.txt

genomeIntervals

Changes in version 1.31.1:

• the signature of rank() has now … and “last” as option in ties.method (for compatibility only – not supported)

GenomicFeatures

Changes in version 1.28:

NEW FEATURES

• makeTxDbFromUCSC() supports new composite “NCBI RefSeq” track for hg38.

• Add ‘metadata’ argument to makeTxDbFromGFF().

• Add exonicParts() as an alternative to disjointExons(): - exonicParts() has a ‘linked.to.single.gene.only’ argument (FALSE by default) that is similar to the ‘aggregateGenes’ argument of disjointExons() but with opposite meaning. More precisely ‘exonicParts(txdb, linked.to.single.gene.only=TRUE)’ returns the same exonic parts as ‘disjointExons(txdb, aggregateGenes=FALSE)’. - Unlike ‘disjointExons(txdb, aggregateGenes=TRUE)’, ‘exonicParts(txdb, linked.to.single.gene.only=FALSE)’ does NOT discard exon parts that are not linked to a gene. - exonicParts() is almost twice more efficient than disjointExons().

• Add intronicParts(): similar to exonicParts() but returns intronic parts.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Some work on distance,GenomicRanges,TxDb method: - pass ignore.strand to range() and distance() - return NA when ‘id’ cannot be collapsed into a single range or when ‘id’ is not found in ‘y’

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Argument ‘force’ of seqlevels() setters is deprecated in favor of new and more flexible ‘pruning.mode’ argument.

• Remove the ‘vals’ argument of the “transcripts”, “exons”, “cds”, and “genes” methods for TxDb objects (was defunct in BioC 3.4).

BUG FIXES

• Fix bug in seqlevels() setter for TxDb objects reported here: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/90226/

GenomicRanges

Changes in version 1.28.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add coercion from ordinary list to GRangesList. Also the GRangesList() constructor function now accepts a list of GRanges as input (and just calls new coercion from list to GRangesList on it internally).

• seqlevels() setter now supports “fine” and “tidy” pruning modes on GRangesList objects (in addition to “coarse” mode, which is the default).

• “range” methods now have a ‘with.revmap’ argument (like “reduce” and “disjoin” methods).

• Add a bunch of range-oriented methods for GenomicRangesList objects.

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• Some changes/improvements to “precede” and “follow” methods for GenomicRanges objects motivated by discussion on support site: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/90664/

• Some changes/improvements to “rank” method for GenomicRanges objects:

  • now supports the same ties methods as base::rank() (was only supporting ties methods “first” and “min” until now) - default ties method now is “average”, like base::rank() - now supports additional argument ‘ignore.strand’.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Argument ‘force’ of seqinfo() and seqlevels() setters is deprecated in favor of new and more flexible ‘pruning.mode’ argument.

BUG FIXES

• Fix severe performance regression introduced in Bioconductor 3.3 in “intersect” and “setdiff” methods for GRangesList objects. Thanks to Jens Reeder reeder.jens@gene.com for catching and reporting this.

• New function alias2SymbolUsingNCBI(), which converts gene aliases or synonyms into official gene symbols using an NCBI gene-info file.

• New function wsva() for weighted surrogate variable analysis.

• New function coolmap(). This is essentially a wrapper for the heatmap.2() function in the ggplots package, but with sensible default settings for genomic log-expression data.

• decideTests() is now an S3 generic function with a default method and a method for MArrayLM objects. decideTests() now selects all null hypotheses as rejected if p.value=1.

• length() methods removed all limma data objects (objects of class EList, EListRaw, RGList, MAList or MArrayLM). length(x) will now return the number of list components in the object rather than the number of elements in the expression matrix.

• New argument ‘style’ for volcanoplot(). The default is now to use -log10(p-value) for the y-axis instead of the B-statistic.

• New argument ‘xlab’ for barcodeplot().

• New argument ‘col’ for plotSA(). plotSA() now longer plots a lowess curve trend, but if appropriate both high and low outlier variances are highlighted in a different color.

• Argument ‘replace.weights’ removed from voomWithQualityWeights(). The function now always produces an EList, similar to voom(). The default behavior of the function is unchanged.

• barcodeplot() now ranks statistics from low to high, instead of from high to low, following the usual style of axes in R plots. This means that left and right are now interchanged.

• plotSA() now plots quarter-root variances instead of log2(variances).

• Default for ‘legend’ argument of plotWithHighlights() changed from “topleft” to “topright”.

• fitFDist() now estimates the scale by mean(x) when df2 is estimated to be Inf. This will make the results from eBayes() less conservative than before when df.prior=Inf.

• plotSA() now indicates, by way of an open plotting symbol, any points that have low robust df.prior values.

• Clearer error message from fitFDistRobustly() when some variances are zero.

• C functions are now registered using R_registerRoutines.

• Bug fix for contrastAsCoef() when there is more than one contrast. Previously the coefficients for the transformed design matrix were correct only for the first contrast.

• Bug fix for kegga() when the universe is explicitly specified.

• Bug fix for fitFDistRobustly() when there is an extreme outlier. Previously floating point underflow for the outlier p-value could cause an error.

• Bug fix to mroast(), which was ignoring ‘geneid’ argument.

• Bug fix to printHead() for arrays with 1 column.

MIGSA

Changes in version 0.99.0:

DOCUMENTATION

• New Param classes for groupFeatures and adjustRtime analysis methods: FeatureDensityParam, MzClustParam, NearestFeaturesParam, FeatureGroupsParam and ObiwarpParam.

BUG FIXES

• Issue #124 (filterRt,XCMSnExp returned empty object).

Changes in version 1.51.5:

NEW FEATURES

• MsFeatureData and XCMSnExp objects.

• features, features<-, adjustedRtime, adjustedRtime<-, featureGroups, featureGroups<-, hasAlignedFeatures, hasAdjustedRtime and hasDetectedFeatures methods.

• dropFeatures, dropFeatureGroups and dropAdjustedRtime methods.

• filterMz, filterRt, filterFile etc implemented.

• mz, intensity and rtime methods for XCMSnExp allowing to return values grouped by sample.

BUG FIXES

• Issue #99 (rtrange outside of retention time range in getEIC,xcmsSet).

• Issue #101 (xcmsRaw function returns NULL if mslevel = 1 is specified).

• Issue #102 (centWave returns empty matrix if scales not OK). Thanks to J. Stanstrup.

• Issue #91 (warning instead of error if no peaks in ROI). Thanks to J. Stanstrup.

Changes in version 1.51.4:

BUG FIXES

• added deepCopy to avoid corrupting the original object, thanks to J. Stanstrup, closes #93

Changes in version 1.51.3:

NEW FEATURES

• binYonX binning function.

• imputeLinInterpol function providing linear interpolation of missing values.

• breaks_on_binSize and breaks_on_nBins functions to calculate breaks defining bins.

• New vignette “new_functionality.Rmd” describing new and modified functionality in xcms.

• Add do_detectFeatures_matchedFilter function.

• Add do_detectFeatures_centWave function.

• Add do_detectFeatures_centWaveWithPredIsoROIs function and unit test.

• Implement a new data import function.

• Add do_detectFeatures_MSW function and unit test.

• Argument stopOnError in xcmsSet function that allows to perform feature detection on all files without stopping on errors.

• Method showError for xcmsSet objects that list all errors during feature detection (if stopOnError = FALSE in the xcmsSet function).

• [ method to subset xcmsRaw objects by scans.

• profMat method to extract/create the profile matrix from/for an xcmsRaw.

• Add new detectFeatures methods for MSnExp and OnDiskMSnExp objects from the MSnbase package.

• Add new CentWaveParam, MatchedFilterParam, MassifquantParam, MSWParam and CentWavePredIsoParam parameter class to perform method dispatch in the detectFeatures method.

• retcor.obiwarp uses the new binning methods for profile matrix generation.

• scanrange,xcmsRaw reports always a scanrange of 1 and length(object@scantime).

• scanrange,xcmsSet reports the scanrange eventually specified by the user in the xcmsSet function.

• Fixed bug in rawMat (issue #58).

• Fix issue #60: findPeaks.massifquant always returns a xcmsPeaks object.

Changes in version 1.51.2:

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

• As suggested by Jan Stanstrup, do not error if a centWave ROI contains no data, closes #90
