New Software Packages

There are 69 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

  • adverSCarial adverSCarial is an R Package designed for generating and analyzing the vulnerability of scRNA-seq classifiers to adversarial attacks. The package is versatile and provides a format for integrating any type of classifier. It offers functions for studying and generating two types of attacks, single gene attack and max change attack. The single gene attack involves making a small modification to the input to alter the classification. The max change attack involves making a large modification to the input without changing its classification. The package provides a comprehensive solution for evaluating the robustness of scRNA-seq classifiers against adversarial attacks.

  • alabaster.files Save common bioinformatics file formats within the alabaster framework. This includes BAM, BED, VCF, bigWig, bigBed, FASTQ, FASTA and so on. We save and load additional metadata for each file, and we support linkage between each file and its corresponding index.

  • beachmat.hdf5 Extends beachmat to support initialization of tatami matrices from HDF5-backed arrays. This allows C++ code in downstream packages to directly call the HDF5 C/C++ library to access array data, without the need for block processing via DelayedArray. Some utilities are also provided for direct creation of an in-memory tatami matrix from a HDF5 file.

  • BioCartaImage The core functionality of the package is to provide coordinates of genes on the BioCarta pathway images and to provide methods to add self-defined graphics to the genes of interest.

  • BiocBook A BiocBook can be created by authors (e.g. R developers, but also scientists, teachers, communicators, …) who wish to 1) write (compile a body of biological and/or bioinformatics knowledge), 2) containerize (provide Docker images to reproduce the examples illustrated in the compendium), 3) publish (deploy an online book to disseminate the compendium), and 4) version (automatically generate specific online book versions and Docker images for specific Bioconductor releases).

  • CaDrA Performs both stepwise and backward heuristic search for candidate (epi)genetic drivers based on a binary multi-omics dataset. CaDrA’s main objective is to identify features which, together, are significantly skewed or enriched pertaining to a given vector of continuous scores (e.g. sample-specific scores representing a phenotypic readout of interest, such as protein expression, pathway activity, etc.), based on the union occurence (i.e. logical OR) of the events.

  • CardinalIO Fast and efficient reading and writing of mass spectrometry imaging data files. Supports imzML and Analyze 7.5 formats. Provides ontologies for mass spectrometry imaging.

  • CCPlotR CCPlotR is an R package for visualising results from tools that predict cell-cell interactions from single-cell RNA-seq data. These plots are generic and can be used to visualise results from multiple tools such as Liana, CellPhoneDB, NATMI etc.

  • CDI Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is widely used to explore cellular variation. The analysis of scRNA-seq data often starts from clustering cells into subpopulations. This initial step has a high impact on downstream analyses, and hence it is important to be accurate. However, there have not been unsupervised metric designed for scRNA-seq to evaluate clustering performance. Hence, we propose clustering deviation index (CDI), an unsupervised metric based on the modeling of scRNA-seq UMI counts to evaluate clustering of cells.

  • cfdnakit This package provides basic functions for analyzing shallow whole-genome sequencing (~0.3X or more) of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). The package basically extracts the length of cfDNA fragments and aids the vistualization of fragment-length information. The package also extract fragment-length information per non-overlapping fixed-sized bins and used it for calculating ctDNA estimation score (CES).

  • ClustIRR ClustIRR is a quantitative method for clustering of immune receptor repertoires (IRRs). The algorithm identifies groups of T or B cell receptors (TCRs or BCRs) with similar specificity by comparing their sequences. ClustIRR uses graphs to visualize the specificity structures of IRRs.

  • compSPOT Clonal cell groups share common mutations within cancer, precancer, and even clinically normal appearing tissues. The frequency and location of these mutations may predict prognosis and cancer risk. It has also been well established that certain genomic regions have increased sensitivity to acquiring mutations. Mutation-sensitive genomic regions may therefore serve as markers for predicting cancer risk. This package contains multiple functions to establish significantly mutated hotspots, compare hotspot mutation burden between samples, and perform exploratory data analysis of the correlation between hotspot mutation burden and personal risk factors for cancer, such as age, gender, and history of carcinogen exposure. This package allows users to identify robust genomic markers to help establish cancer risk.

We also provide some helper function to optimise SNP selection, create training data and merge SNP data into the SingleCellExperiment framework.

  • dreamlet Recent advances in single cell/nucleus transcriptomic technology has enabled collection of cohort-scale datasets to study cell type specific gene expression differences associated disease state, stimulus, and genetic regulation. The scale of these data, complex study designs, and low read count per cell mean that characterizing cell type specific molecular mechanisms requires a user-frieldly, purpose-build analytical framework. We have developed the dreamlet package that applies a pseudobulk approach and fits a regression model for each gene and cell cluster to test differential expression across individuals associated with a trait of interest. Use of precision-weighted linear mixed models enables accounting for repeated measures study designs, high dimensional batch effects, and varying sequencing depth or observed cells per biosample.

This package does not perform pathway analysis. Instead, it provides methods to embed precomputed pathway analysis results in a SummarizedExperiment object, in a manner that is compatible with interactive visualisation in iSEE applications.

  • IsoBayes IsoBayes is a Bayesian method to perform inference on single protein isoforms. Our approach infers the presence/absence of protein isoforms, and also estimates their abundance; additionally, it provides a measure of the uncertainty of these estimates, via: i) the posterior probability that a protein isoform is present in the sample; ii) a posterior credible interval of its abundance. IsoBayes inputs liquid cromatography mass spectrometry (MS) data, and can work with both PSM counts, and intensities. When available, trascript isoform abundances (i.e., TPMs) are also incorporated: TPMs are used to formulate an informative prior for the respective protein isoform relative abundance. We further identify isoforms where the relative abundance of proteins and transcripts significantly differ. We use a two-layer latent variable approach to model two sources of uncertainty typical of MS data: i) peptides may be erroneously detected (even when absent); ii) many peptides are compatible with multiple protein isoforms. In the first layer, we sample the presence/absence of each peptide based on its estimated probability of being mistakenly detected, also known as PEP (i.e., posterior error probability). In the second layer, for peptides that were estimated as being present, we allocate their abundance across the protein isoforms they map to. These two steps allow us to recover the presence and abundance of each protein isoform.

  • lemur Fit a latent embedding multivariate regression (LEMUR) model to multi-condition single-cell data. The model provides a parametric description of single-cell data measured with complex experimental designs. The parametric model is used to (1) align conditions, (2) predict log fold changes between conditions for all cells, and (3) identify cell neighborhoods with consistent log fold changes. For those neighborhoods, a pseudobulked differential expression test is conducted to assess which genes are significantly changed.

  • MICSQTL Our pipeline, MICSQTL, utilizes scRNA-seq reference and bulk transcriptomes to estimate cellular composition in the matched bulk proteomes. The expression of genes and proteins at either bulk level or cell type level can be integrated by Angle-based Joint and Individual Variation Explained (AJIVE) framework. Meanwhile, MICSQTL can perform cell-type-specic quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping to proteins or transcripts based on the input of bulk expression data and the estimated cellular composition per molecule type, without the need for single cell sequencing. We use matched transcriptome-proteome from human brain frontal cortex tissue samples to demonstrate the input and output of our tool.

  • Moonlight2R The understanding of cancer mechanism requires the identification of genes playing a role in the development of the pathology and the characterization of their role (notably oncogenes and tumor suppressors). We present an updated version of the R/bioconductor package called MoonlightR, namely Moonlight2R, which returns a list of candidate driver genes for specific cancer types on the basis of omics data integration. The Moonlight framework contains a primary layer where gene expression data and information about biological processes are integrated to predict genes called oncogenic mediators, divided into putative tumor suppressors and putative oncogenes. This is done through functional enrichment analyses, gene regulatory networks and upstream regulator analyses to score the importance of well-known biological processes with respect to the studied cancer type. By evaluating the effect of the oncogenic mediators on biological processes or through random forests, the primary layer predicts two putative roles for the oncogenic mediators: i) tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and ii) oncogenes (OCGs). As gene expression data alone is not enough to explain the deregulation of the genes, a second layer of evidence is needed. We have automated the integration of a secondary mutational layer through new functionalities in Moonlight2R. These functionalities analyze mutations in the cancer cohort and classifies these into driver and passenger mutations using the driver mutation prediction tool, CScape-somatic. Those oncogenic mediators with at least one driver mutation are retained as the driver genes. As a consequence, this methodology does not only identify genes playing a dual role (e.g. TSG in one cancer type and OCG in another) but also helps in elucidating the biological processes underlying their specific roles. In particular, Moonlight2R can be used to discover OCGs and TSGs in the same cancer type. This may for instance help in answering the question whether some genes change role between early stages (I, II) and late stages (III, IV). In the future, this analysis could be useful to determine the causes of different resistances to chemotherapeutic treatments.

  • MSstatsBig MSstats package provide tools for preprocessing, summarization and differential analysis of mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics data.

  • HPO.db Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) was developed to create a consistent description of gene products with disease perspectives, and is essential for supporting functional genomics in disease context. Accurate disease descriptions can discover new relationships between genes and disease, and new functions for previous uncharacteried genes and alleles.We have developed the DOSE package for semantic similarity analysis and disease enrichment analysis, and DOSE import an Bioconductor package DO.db to get the relationship(such as parent and child) between MPO terms. But DO.db hasn’t been updated for years, and a lot of semantic information is missing. So we developed the new package HPO.db for Human Human Phenotype Ontology annotation.

  • JASPAR2024 JASPAR (https://testjaspar.uio.no/) is a widely-used open-access database presenting manually curated high-quality and non-redundant DNA-binding profiles for transcription factors (TFs) across taxa. In this 10th release and 20th-anniversary update, the CORE collection has expanded with 329 new profiles. We updated three existing profiles and provided orthogonal support for 72 profiles from the previous release UNVALIDATED collection. Altogether, the JASPAR 2024 update provides a 20 percent increase in CORE profiles from the previous release. A trimming algorithm enhanced profiles by removing low information content flanking base pairs, which were likely uninformative (within the capacity of the PFM models) for TFBS predictions and modelling TF-DNA interactions. This release includes enhanced metadata, featuring a refined classification for plant TFs structural DNA-binding domains. The new JASPAR collections prompt updates to the genomic tracks of predicted TF-binding sites in 8 organisms, with human and mouse tracks available as native tracks in the UCSC Genome browser. All data are available through the JASPAR web interface and programmatically through its API and the updated Bioconductor and pyJASPAR packages. Finally, a new TFBS extraction tool enables users to retrieve predicted JASPAR TFBSs intersecting their genomic regions of interest.

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

  • SomaScan.db An R package providing extended biological annotations for the SomaScan Assay, a proteomics platform developed by SomaLogic Operating Co., Inc. The annotations in this package were assembled using data from public repositories. For more information about the SomaScan assay and its data, please reference the ‘SomaLogic/SomaLogic-Data’ GitHub repository.

Made passing clusterizations to COTAN functions more easy: now all functions that take a COTAN object and a clusterization as input parameters can also take a clusterization name

Added time-stamps to log entries when written on a log file

Fixed bug in the clustersMarkersHeatmapPlot function when given a clusterization not matching the latest added to the COTAN object

Fixed issue with the highest possible resolution in seuratClustering() function, needed when large datasets must be split in many clusters

                    Changes in version 2.1.7                        

Added new flag to the function cleanPlots() to suppress evaluation of the PCA on the normalized data. In particular, this allows to reduce significantly time spent within the function checkClusterUniformity()

Added initialResolution parameter to cellsUniformClustering(): it allows users to specify the initial resolution used in the calls to Seurat::FindClusters() method. It now uses the same default as Seurat

Added new method estimateNuLinearByCluster() that calculates nu ensuring that its average is 1.0 in each given cluster

                    Changes in version 2.1.6                        

Added function reorderClusterization(): it reorders the given clusterization so that near clusters have also near labels

The functions cellsUniformClustering() and mergeUniformCellsClusters() now return the result of this new function

Separated p-value calculations from DEAOnClusters() into the new function pValueFromDEA(). Those data.frames are no longer part of the list returned by the functions DEAOnClusters() and mergeUniformCellsClusters()

Added function getClusters() to retrieve the wanted clusterization from the cells’ meta-dataset

Added function calculateGenesCE(): it returns the cross-entropy between the expected absence of a gene reading against the observed state

Fixed minor issue with logThis() to file: it was always appending a new line even when appendLF was set to FALSE

Now checkClusterUniformity() returns more GDI stats like the percentage of genes above threshold or the last percentile of the GDI values

Revamped mergeUniformCellsClusters() to select in order all the the most likely candidates pairs of clusters to merge. Provided new user parameter to balance the merging of most possible candidates versus the time spent doing so

Improved dropGenesCells() method: it now retains all meta-data information that is not related to the results of the other methods

Added zoomed UDE plot to cleanPlots() return. It suggests a possible cut level for low UDE cells

                    Changes in version 2.1.5                        

Improved mergeUniformCellsClusters(): now it attempts to merge more clusters pairs

Now errors in the seuratClustering() function are interpreted as remaining cells not-clustered “-1”. This applies mostly to cases when Seurat finds only singlets

Added flag calcCoex to proceedToCoex() and automaticCOTANObjectCreation() functions to allow user not to spend time calculating the genes’ COEX when not needed

Solved potential issue in the clustersMarkersHeatmapPlot() regarding clusters’ labels

Added new internal function niceFactorLevels() that ensures all the factors’ levels will have labels with the same length, via padding the integers values with ‘0’ and string values with ‘_’

Relaxed tolerance on tests comparing against saved data

                    Changes in version 2.1.4

               Changes in version 2.0.5 (2021-06-18)                  
    
  • Lots of minor changes for Bioconductor update.
  • DESCRIPTION:
  • Updated to Authors@R.
  • Lengthened “Description” paragraph.
  • Increased R dependency from 3.2 to 4.0.
  • Reformatted this NEWS.md slightly to improve its automatic parsing.
  • Added examples for function delta_deviance_lf.
  • Updated vignette to reflect that lfa::read.bed has been deprecated in favor of genio::read_plink and BEDMatrix objects.
  • Updated README.md, including corrections to examples.
  • Updated citations:
  • README.md: only had GCATest paper link, now has full citation and also full LFA citation.
  • Vignette: used to point to LFA arXiv preprint, now points to published paper.
  • inst/CITATION: didn’t exist! Now includes both LFA and GCATest papers.
  • Added LICENSE.md.
  • Internal changes:
  • All unexported functions are now prefixed with a period.
  • Replaced 1:x with seq_len(x) several functions.
  • Reformatted all code with package reformatR and otherwise match Bioconductor guidelines.

             Changes in version 2.0.4.9000 (2021-05-13)               
    
  • Function delta_deviance_lf debugged case where either LF0 or LF1 is a column matrix. Previously these 1-column matrices were getting dropped to a vector incorrectly, which resulted in the mysterious error message “Error: argument is of length zero”. This 1-column case is not typically observed in gcatest, but is common in the reverse-dependent jackstraw package.

             Changes in version 2.0.3.9000 (2021-05-11)               
    
  • Added function delta_deviance_lf, which calculates the delta deviance from two logistic models and the genotype matrix data. This function is a more general version of gcat.stat (which uses the new function internally), to essentially consider models that differ by more than one degree of freedom. It was written in particular for an external application in mind, namely the jackstraw package.
  • Internal function assoc_snp was renamed to delta_deviance_snp_lf and its last argument changed to match that of delta_deviance_lf (alternative logistic factors instead of trait).

             Changes in version 2.0.2.9000 (2021-03-01)               
    
  • Added internal tests for deviance calculations against stats::glm.
  • Deviance code (internal delta_deviance_snp) now returns NA instead of stopping when an “impossible” case is encountered (when the genotype x is non-zero but the fitted probabilities under either null or alternative model are zero, or the alternative allele dosage (x-2) has the same problem). These cases are clearly model fitting failures, and can arise for common ill-defined problems, particularly under binary adjustment variables passed to gcat together with rare variants; these individual cases are not handled any better by stats::glm, so it seemed most sensible to return NA at such loci and not stop.

             Changes in version 2.0.1.9000 (2021-02-16)               
    
  • Documentation updates:
  • Fixed links to functions, in many cases these were broken because of incompatible mixed Rd and markdown syntax (now markdown is used more fully).

             Changes in version 2.0.0.9000 (2020-11-13)               
    

Major overhaul from last version (1.3.2, last updated 2016-10-06). Visible differences are support for BEDMatrix and fewer cases in which association p-values are NA. Internally there was major code restructuring, and added unit tests for all functions.

  • User-facing changes: Functions gcat/gcatest/gcat.stat

  • added support for BEDMatrix objects for the genotype matrix X.
  • This consumes lower memory when the number of loci m is very large, so it enables analysis of larger datasets.
  • Fixed some cases where the test statistic (the delta deviance) and ultimately the p-values were NA or NaN and are no longer missing.
  • One common case is when fitted probabilities were zero or one, which used to lead to NaN deviances when their correct contribution was instead zero (because the limit of p*log(p) as p goes to zero is zero, not 0 * (-Inf) = NaN).
  • Other NA and NaN cases are avoided in the lfa function af_snp (fixed in lfa 2.0.0.9000, 2020-09-18) used to estimate the individual-specific allele frequencies used here to compute the delta deviance. However, in rare cases the logistic regression in af_snp fails to converge or there are other problems, resulting in NA values propagated to GCATest’s test statistic and p-values.
  • Otherwise, the new delta deviance code (function delta_deviance_snp) is more numerically-stable than before.

  • Internal changes

  • Separated R functions into one source file each.
  • Added more input checks to all functions.
  • Added .gitignore files from another project.
  • Added unit tests for all functions using testthat.
  • Removed internal assoc C code
  • Previously only used for genotype data without missingness (so practically not on real datasets)
  • Was entirely redundant with lfa::af_snp, which is now called in all cases instead.
  • Had bugs concerning handling of p == 0 or 1 cases that are better handled in assoc_snp R code
  • Minor scattered changes solely to pass latest R CMD check requirements.

GenomicFeatures

                   Changes in version 1.54.0                        

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Fix flaw in heuristic for inferring exon ranks in makeTxDbFromGRanges(): makeTxDbFromGRanges() can guess the exon ranks of a given transcript either (a) based on their position on the chromosome (b) or by looking at the suffixes of the exon ids (e.g. .1, .2, etc…) if any Previously (i.e. in GenomicFeatures < 1.53.1) it was trying (b) first, and would fall back on (a) if (b) failed. Starting with GenomicFeatures 1.53.1, it does the opposite: it tries (a) first, and uses (b) only for exons for which (a) failed. This change addresses the problem that the suffixes of the exon ids cannot be trusted to infer the ranks of exons located on the minus strand. See https://github.com/Bioconductor/GenomicFeatures/issues/59 for an example.

  • Try to more clearly distinguish between CDS and CDS parts in documentation.

  • Switch from HTTP to HTTPS for requests to *.ucsc.edu

goSorensen

                    Changes in version 1.3.0                        

We add the following functions

  • allBuildEnrichTable: Given k lists of genes, it generates the k(k–1)/2 contingency tables of joint enrichment for all possible pairs of lists.
  • allEquivTestSorensen: Accepts the objects created with allBuildEnrichTable as its first argument and quickly obtains the k(k–1)/2 equivalence tests.
  • sorenThreshold: Implements an algorithm allowing the computation of the “equivalence threshold” dissimilarities matrix for all the k(k–1)/2 tests. According to what is indicated in the arguments, the results of this function are stored in a matrix for a specific ontology and level or a list with a matrix for more than one ontology and/or level.
  • hclustThreshold: Generates an object of class “hclust”. For a specific ontology and level, plots a dendrogram where all the k(k–1)/2 comparisons are joined at the height of their respective “equivalence threshold” dissimilarity.
  • allHclustThreshold: Performs the same calculations as hclustThreshold but for the specified GO ontologies and levels (all three ontologies PB, MF, and CC and levels from 2 to 10 by default)

In addition:

  • We improve the vignette “An introduction to the goSorensen package” by implementing the new functions mentioned above and updating the results of the examples with the results of the latest version of Bioconductor.

GRaNIE

          Changes in version 1.5.2-1.5.3 (2023-08-20)               

New features

  • say hello to a new function filterConnectionsForPlotting() that can be used to include or exclude particular connections from the stored eGRN for visualization purposes only (!). Note that this filter only applies to visualization and enables a flexible system to visually explore particular features of the stored eGRN. THis is particularly handy when the eGRN is large. For more details, see the help pages of the new function.
  • similarly, the function visualizeGRN() now by default only visualizes connections that are marked as such (the result from filterConnectionsForPlotting()) - that is, it excludes connections that the user beforehand excluded from plotting. This allows to specifically plot only part of the eGRN network and explore specific T&F regulons, for example, a feature that before was not so easy to do.
  • It is now possible to integrate SNP data into GRaNIE via the new function addSNPData(). For more information, see the Package vignette.

               Changes in version 1.5.1 (2023-06-19)                  
    
  • version jump due to new Bioconductor development cycle

New features and stability improvements

  • we replaced biomaRt for the full genome annotation retrieval in addData with a different approach that is more reliable, as we had more and more issues with biomaRt in the recent past. While using the old biomaRt approach is still an option, the default is now to use the AnnotationHub package from Bioconductor. This makes GRaNIE overall more stable and less reliant on biomaRt due to the strict timeouts and query size restrictions.

graphite

GSVA

                    Changes in version 1.50                         

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

  • The API has changed. The main function remains under the same name ‘gsva()’, but the way in which is called is different. From this release, it has three parameters only: the first is a parameter object whose class depends on the method to be used, the second is a flag to set verbosity and the third controls the parallelization of the calculations. The old way of using ‘gsva()’ has been deprecated, which means that during this release, the user may still use the old API, but will get a deprecation warning message. In the next release, the old way of using ‘gsva()’ will become defunct and prompt an error. Please check the help page of ‘gsva()’ for details.

BUG FIXES

  • Bugfix for https://github.com/rcastelo/GSVA/issues/88 to correctly deal with a GeneSetCollection object as input gene sets, when the input expression data is a SingleCellExperiment object.

  • Bugfix for https://github.com/rcastelo/GSVA/issues/90 to enable working with long vectors in the calls to C code by the GSVA algorithm.

  • Made all uncorrected header names uppercase and removed duplicates
  • “TOTALSAMPLESIZE” now maps to “N” instead of “NSTUDY”
  • “MAJORALLELE”, “MAJOR_ALLELE”, “MAJOR-ALLELE”, and “MAJOR ALLELE” now map to “A1” instead of “A2”
  • Removed the mappings for “OR-A1”, “OR.A1”, “OR_A1”, and “BETA1” because MSS assumes that A2 is the effect allele
  • Removed mappings for “A1FREQ”, “A1FRQ”, “AF1”, “FREQ.A1.1000G.EUR”, “FREQ.A1.ESP.EUR”, “FREQ.ALLELE1.HAPMAPCEU”, “FREQ1”, “FREQ1.HAPMAP”, and “FRQ_A1” because MSS defines “FRQ” to be the allele frequency of A2
  • Removed mappings for “CHR36”, “BASE_GRCH36”, “POSITION36”, “POSGRCH36”, “BASEGRCH36”, “POS36”, “POS GRCH36”, “POS.GRCH36”, “POS-GRCH36”, and “POS_GRCH36” because MSS does not support the GRCh36 genome build

  • Removed the ambiguous mapping “WEIGHT” -> “N” because “WEIGHT” can refer to coefficient weights
  • Fixed inference of allele where ambiguous (A1, A2) naming used (see infer_effect_column.R for code) but in short:
  • Three checks now made to infer which allele the effect/frequency information relates to. See infer_effect_column.R for further details.
  • See get_eff_frq_allele_combns.R for how effect/frequency columns that infer the allele are captured in the mapping file

  • “VARIANT_ID” and “RSIDS” –> “SNP”
  • “P_BOLT_LMM” –> “P”
  • “NCASES” –> “N_CAS”

  • “DIRECT” –> “DIRECTION”
  • “ALT_EFFSIZE” –> “BETA”
  • “INFORMATIVE_ALT_AC” –> “AC”

Bug fix

  • In check_no_rs_snp the order of operations had to be reversed to ensure all values were present before sorting column headers when imputation_ind=TRUE and imputing rsIDs.

                     Changes in version 1.9.11                        
    

New features

  • The rmv_chrPrefix parameter in format_sumstats() has been replaced with the new chr_style parameter, which allows users to specify their desired chromosome name style. The supported chromosome styles are “NCBI”, “UCSC”, “dbSNP”, and “Ensembl” with “Ensembl” being the default.
  • check_chr() now automatically removes all SNPs with nonstandard CHR entries (anything other than 1-22, X, Y, and MT in the Ensembl naming style).

                     Changes in version 1.9.10

  • Removed outdated or unused functionality:

  • bed indexing (indexBed and related C code)
  • bam tag indexing (build_tag_index, show_tag_index, get_tag_bam, )
  • bam tag index based single cell approach (sc_editing)
  • bam tag indexing C code from bri (src/bri/*)
  • sparse matrix merging for merge_pileups().
  • unneeded utilities (filter_by_coverage)
  • Remaining (and mostly unused) Rcpp code
  • Removed fastmap, Rcpp, zlibbioc, RColorBrewer, and BiocGenerics dependencies
  • Removed system requirements for C libraries used by bri

  • The bed indexing used in pileup_sites() has been replaced with the region indexing approach from pileup_cells().

  • pileup_sites() now requires a GRanges object rather than a bed file. The bedfile parameter has been removed and replaced with a sites parameter.

  • Renamed Ref and Var output columns to REF and ALT and nVar was renamed to nAlt. This provides consistency with VCF format and consistency across pileup_cells() and pileup_sites() function calls

  • pileup_cells() gained functionality to process multiple smart-seq2 style bam files.

  • Changed filterParam argument in pileup_sites and pileup_cells to param for simplicity.

  • Added FilterParam to exclude multi-allelic sites report_multiallelic, or exclude reporting a variant in the Var assay based on allelic frequency (min_allelic_freq).

  • The bam_flags parameter used in pileup_sites and pileup_cells has been moved into the FilterParam class.

  • The bedindex parameter for pileup_sites has been removed. This option is not needed at the user level and is planned to be replaced by the regional indexing used in pileup_cells().

  • Incorporated RBPZ and VDB statistics from bcftools, now returned as rowData columns when calling pileup_sites.

  • A RangedSummarizedExperiment object is now directly returned from pileup_sites. Using merge_pileups is no longer necessary and is not an exported function.

  • Renamed get_pileup to pileup_sites and create_se to merge_pileups

  • Rename remove_clustered_variants, remove_multiallelic, and remove_splice_variants to filter_* for consistency.

  • Rewrote and renamed the single cell editing function sc_editing to pileup_cells(). pileup_cells() does not require sorting and index by cell barcode, uses a new format to specify sites to query and requires providing the reference and alternate alleles of interest, writes to disk in a sparse matrix compatible format to reduce memory usage, and should have more performance as there is no need to query a fasta index.

  • Implemented method to collapse reads with duplicate UMIs.

  • Added option to filter sites in pileup based on number of reads containing a variant (#54)

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

The default behavior of summarizeToGene() returns ranges that correspond to the range of the isoforms of the gene, that is the leftmost basepair to the rightmost basepair of any isoform. The non-default “abundant” instead returns the range of the most abundant isoform in the data, averaging over samples. Information about the choice of range is included in mcols
