ABAEnrichment - The package ABAEnrichment is designed to test for enrichment of user defined candidate genes in the set of expressed genes in different human brain regions. The core function ‘aba_enrich’ integrates the expression of the candidate gene set (averaged across donors) and the structural information of the brain using an ontology, both provided by the Allen Brain Atlas project. ‘aba_enrich’ interfaces the ontology enrichment software FUNC to perform the statistical analyses. Additional functions provided in this package like ‘get_expression’ and ‘plot_expression’ facilitate exploring the expression data.

acde - This package provides a multivariate inferential analysis method for detecting differentially expressed genes in gene expression data. It uses artificial components, close to the data’s principal components but with an exact interpretation in terms of differential genetic expression, to identify differentially expressed genes while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). The methods on this package are described in the vignette or in the article ‘Multivariate Method for Inferential Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes in Gene Expression Experiments’ by J. P. Acosta, L. Lopez-Kleine and S. Restrepo (2015, pending publication).

Prize - The high throughput studies often produce large amounts of numerous genes and proteins of interest. While it is difficult to study and validate all of them. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) offers a novel approach to narrowing down long lists of candidates by prioritizing them based on how well they meet the research goal. AHP is a mathematical technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions where multiple criteria are involved. The technique structures problems into a hierarchy of elements, and helps to specify numerical weights representing the relative importance of each element. Numerical weight or priority derived from each element allows users to find alternatives that best suit their goal and their understanding of the problem.

Prostar - This package provides a GUI interface for DAPAR.

ProteomicsAnnotationHubData - These recipes convert a variety and a growing number of public proteomics data sets into easily-used standard Bioconductor data structures.

Package RareVariantVis aims to present genomic variants (especially rare ones) in a global, per chromosome way. Visualization is performed in two ways - standard that outputs png figures and interactive that uses JavaScript d3 package. Interactive visualization allows to analyze trio/family data, for example in search for causative variants in rare Mendelian diseases.

rCGH - A comprehensive pipeline for analyzing and interactively visualizing genomic profiles generated through Agilent and Affymetrix microarrays.

This package takes over all the steps required for a genomic profile analysis, from reading the files to the segmentation and genes annotations, and provides several visualization functions (static or interactive) which facilitate profiles interpretation. Input files can be in compressed format, e.g. .bz2 or .gz.

RCy3 - Vizualize, analyze and explore graphs, connecting R to Cytoscape >= 3.2.1.

rnaseqcomp - Several quantitative and visualized benchmarks for RNA-seq quantification pipelines. Two-replicate quantifications for genes, transcripts, junctions or exons by each pipeline with nessasery meta information should be organizd into numeric matrix in order to proceed the evaluation.

ropls - Latent variable modeling with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) are powerful methods for visualization, regression, classification, and feature selection of omics data where the number of variables exceeds the number of samples and with multicollinearity among variables. Orthogonal Partial Least Squares (OPLS) enables to separately model the variation correlated (predictive) to the factor of interest and the uncorrelated (orthogonal) variation. While performing similarly to PLS, OPLS facilitates interpretation. Successful applications of these chemometrics techniques include spectroscopic data such as Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) in metabolomics and proteomics, but also transcriptomics data. In addition to scores, loadings and weights plots, the package provides metrics and graphics to determine the optimal number of components (e.g. with the R2 and Q2 coefficients), check the validity of the model by permutation testing, detect outliers, and perform feature selection (e.g. with Variable Importance in Projection or regression coefficients). The package can be accessed via a user interface on the Workflow4Metabolomics.org online resource for computational metabolomics (built upon the Galaxy environment).

RTCGA - The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Data Portal provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated by TCGA. It contains clinical information, genomic characterization data, and high level sequence analysis of the tumor genomes. The key is to understand genomics to improve cancer care. RTCGA package offers download and integration of the variety and volume of TCGA data using patient barcode key, what enables easier data possession. This may have an benefcial infuence on impact on development of science and improvement of patients’ treatment. Furthermore, RTCGA package transforms TCGA data to tidy form which is convenient to use.

RTCGAToolbox - Managing data from large scale projects such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) for further analysis is an important and time consuming step for research projects. Several efforts, such as Firehose project, make TCGA pre-processed data publicly available via web services and data portals but it requires managing, downloading and preparing the data for following steps. We developed an open source and extensible R based data client for Firehose pre-processed data and demonstrated its use with sample case studies. Results showed that RTCGAToolbox could improve data management for researchers who are interested with TCGA data. In addition, it can be integrated with other analysis pipelines for following data analysis.

sbgr - R client for Seven Bridges Genomics API.

SEPA - Given single-cell RNA-seq data and true experiment time of cells or pseudo-time cell ordering, SEPA provides convenient functions for users to assign genes into different gene expression patterns such as constant, monotone increasing and increasing then decreasing. SEPA then performs GO enrichment analysis to analysis the functional roles of genes with same or similar patterns.

SICtools - This package is to find SNV/Indel differences between two bam files with near relationship in a way of pairwise comparison thourgh each base position across the genome region of interest. The difference is inferred by fisher test and euclidean distance, the input of which is the base count (A,T,G,C) in a given position and read counts for indels that span no less than 2bp on both sides of indel region.

SISPA - Sample Integrated Gene Set Analysis (SISPA) is a method designed to define sample groups with similar gene set enrichment profiles.

SNPhood - To date, thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with complex traits and diseases. However, the vast majority of these disease-associated SNPs lie in the non-coding part of the genome, and are likely to affect regulatory elements, such as enhancers and promoters, rather than function of a protein. Thus, to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic traits and diseases, it becomes increasingly important to study the effect of a SNP on nearby molecular traits such as chromatin environment or transcription factor (TF) binding. Towards this aim, we developed SNPhood, a user-friendly Bioconductor R package to investigate and visualize the local neighborhood of a set of SNPs of interest for NGS data such as chromatin marks or transcription factor binding sites from ChIP-Seq or RNA-Seq experiments. SNPhood comprises a set of easy-to-use functions to extract, normalize and summarize reads for a genomic region, perform various data quality checks, normalize read counts using additional input files, and to cluster and visualize the regions according to the binding pattern. The regions around each SNP can be binned in a user-defined fashion to allow for analysis of very broad patterns as well as a detailed investigation of specific binding shapes. Furthermore, SNPhood supports the integration with genotype information to investigate and visualize genotype-specific binding patterns. Finally, SNPhood can be employed for determining, investigating, and visualizing allele-specific binding patterns around the SNPs of interest.

subSeq - Subsampling of high throughput sequencing count data for use in experiment design and analysis.

SummarizedExperiment - The SummarizedExperiment container contains one or more assays, each represented by a matrix-like object of numeric or other mode. The rows typically represent genomic ranges of interest and the columns represent samples.

SWATH2stats - This package is intended to transform SWATH data from the OpenSWATH software into a format readable by other statistics packages while performing filtering, annotation and FDR estimation.

synlet - Select hits from synthetic lethal RNAi screen data. For example, there are two identical celllines except one gene is knocked-down in one cellline. The interest is to find genes that lead to stronger lethal effect when they are knocked-down further by siRNA. Quality control and various visualisation tools are implemented. Four different algorithms could be used to pick up the interesting hits. This package is designed based on 384 wells plates, but may apply to other platforms with proper configuration.

TarSeqQC - The package allows the representation of targeted experiment in R. This is based on current packages and incorporates functions to do a quality control over this kind of experiments and a fast exploration of the sequenced regions. An xlsx file is generated as output.

TCGAbiolinks - The aim of TCGAbiolinks is : i) facilitate the TCGA open-access data retrieval, ii) prepare the data using the appropriate pre-processing strategies, iii) provide the means to carry out different standard analyses and iv) allow the user to download a specific version of the data and thus to easily reproduce earlier research results. In more detail, the package provides multiple methods for analysis (e.g., differential expression analysis, identifying differentially methylated regions) and methods for visualization (e.g., survival plots, volcano plots, starburst plots) in order to easily develop complete analysis pipelines.

traseR - traseR performs GWAS trait-associated SNP enrichment analyses in genomic intervals using different hypothesis testing approaches, also provides various functionalities to explore and visualize the results.

variancePartition - Quantify and interpret multiple sources and biological and technical variation in gene expression experiments. Uses linear mixed model to quantify variation in gene expression attributable to individual, tissue, time point, or technical variables.

XBSeq - We developed a novel algorithm, XBSeq, where a statistical model was established based on the assumption that observed signals are the convolution of true expression signals and sequencing noises. The mapped reads in non-exonic regions are considered as sequencing noises, which follows a Poisson distribution. Given measureable observed and noise signals from RNA-seq data, true expression signals, assuming governed by the negative binomial distribution, can be delineated and thus the accurate detection of differential expressed genes.

• Deprecated the seq_name accessors in favour of the BiocGenerics seqnames

• Added a width accessor - similar to the IRanges functionality

• Added coercion to GRangesList and RangedData

• Edited some of the documentation (man page) and NAMESPACE generation to use roxygen2

Changes in version 1.25.0:

GenomicAlignments

Changes in version 1.6.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add strandMode() getter and setter for GAlignmentPairs objects in response to the following post: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/65844/ See ?strandMode for more information.

• The readGAlignment*() functions now allow repeated seqnames in the BAM header.

• Add “coverage” method for GAlignmentsList objects.

• The strand setter now works on a GAlignmentsList object in a restricted way (only strand(x) <- “+” or “-“ or “*” is supported).

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• summarizeOverlaps() now returns a RangedSummarizedExperiment object (defined in the new SummarizedExperiment package) instead of an “old” SummarizedExperiment object (defined in the GenomicRanges package).

• Slightly modify the behavior of junctions() on a GAlignmentPairs object so that the returned ranges now have the “real strand” set on them. See ?junctions and the documentation of the ‘real.strand’ argument in the man page of GAlignmentPairs objects for more information.

• Add ‘real.strand’ argument to first() and last() getters for GAlignmentPairs objects.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Deprecate left() and right() getters and strand() setter for GAlignmentPairs objects.

• Deprecate ‘invert.strand’ argument of first() and last() getters for GAlignmentPairs objects.

• Deprecate ‘order.as.in.query’ argument of “grglist” method for GAlignmentPairs objects.

• Deprecate ‘order.as.in.query’ argument in “rglist” method for GAlignmentsList objects (this concept is not defined for these objects in general and the argument was ignored anyway).

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, the “mapCoords” and “pmapCoords” methods are now defunct. mapToAlignments() should be used instead.

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, the readGAlignmentFromBam() functions are now defunct. Everybody says “Let’s all use the readGAlignment() functions instead! (no FromBam suffix). Yeah!”

BUG FIXES

• Various fixes to grglist/granges/rglist/ranges methods for GAlignmentsList objects: - Respect cigar information (as claimed in man page). - Restore ‘drop.D.ranges’ argument in “grglist” method (mistakenly got deprecated at the beginning of BioC 3.2 devel cycle).
  • The ‘drop.D.ranges’ argument in “rglist” method now works (was ignored). - Handle empty list elements.

GenomicFeatures

Changes in version 1.22:

NEW FEATURES

• Add coverageByTranscript() and pcoverageByTranscript(). See ?coverageByTranscript for more information.

• Various improvements to makeTxDbFromGFF(): - Now supports ‘format=”auto”’ for auto-detection of the file format. - Now supports naming features by dbxref tag (like GeneID). This has proven useful when importing GFFs from NCBI.

• Improvements to the coordinate mapping methods: - Support recycling when length(transcripts) == 1 for parallel mapping functions. - Add pmapToTranscripts,Ranges,GRangesList and pmapFromTranscripts,Ranges,GRangesList methods.

• Adds ‘taxonomyId’ argument to the makeTxDbFrom*() functions.

• Improvements to makeTxDbPackage(): - Add ‘pkgname’ argument to makeTxDbPackage() to let the user override the automatic naming of the package to be generated. - Support person objects for ‘maintainer’ and ‘author’ arguments to makeTxDbPackage().

• The ‘chrominfo’ vector passed to makeTxDb() can now mix NAs and non-NAs.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• 2 significant changes to makeTxDbFromGRanges() and makeTxDbFromGFF():
  • They now also import transcripts of type pseudogenic_transcript and pseudogenic_exon. - They normally get the “gene_id” and “[tx|exon|CDS]_name” columns from the Name tag. Now they will also infer these columns from the ID tag when the Name tag is missing.

• Improve handling of ‘circ_seqs’ argument by makeTxDbFromUCSC(), makeTxDbFromGFF(), and makeTxDbFromBiomart(): no more annoying warning when none of the strings in DEFAULT_CIRC_SEQS matches the seqlevels of the TxDb object to be made.

• 2 minor changes to makeTxDbFromBiomart(): - Now drops unneeded chromosome info when importing an incomplete transcript dataset. - Now returns a TxDb object with ‘Full dataset’ field set to ‘no’ when makeTxDbFromBiomart() is called with user-supplied ‘filters’.

• makeTxDbPackage() now includes data source in the package name by default (for non UCSC and BioMart databases).

• The following changes were made to the coordinate mapping methods: - mapToTranscripts() now reports mapped position with respect to the transcription start site regardless of strand. - Change ‘ignore.strand’ default from TRUE to FALSE in all coordinate mapping methods for consistency with other functions that already have the ‘ignore.strand’ argument. - Name matching in mapFromTranscripts() is now done with seqnames(x) and names(transcripts). - The pmapFromTranscripts,*,GRangesList methods now return a GRangesList object. Also they no longer use ‘UNMAPPED’ seqname for unmapped ranges. - Remove uneeded ellipisis from the argument list of various coordinate mapping methods.

• Change behavior of seqlevels0() getter so it does what it was always intended to do.

• The order of the transcripts returned by transcripts() has changed: now they are guaranteed to be in the same order as in the GRangesList object returned by exonsBy().

• Code improvements and speedup to the transcripts(), exons(), cds(), exonsBy(), and cdsBy() extractors.

• In order to avoid loss of information (and make it reversible with makeTxDbFromGRanges()), the “asGFF” method for TxDb objects now propagates the “exon_name” and “cds_name” columns to the GRanges object.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, the makeTranscriptDb*() functions are now defunct.

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, the ‘exonRankAttributeName’, ‘gffGeneIdAttributeName’, ‘useGenesAsTranscripts’, ‘gffTxName’, and ‘species’ arguments of makeTxDbFromGFF() are now defunct.

• Remove sortExonsByRank() (was defunct in BioC 3.1).

BUG FIXES

• Fix bug in fiveUTRsByTranscript() and threeUTRsByTranscript() extractors when the TxDb object had “user defined” seqlevels and/or a set of “active/inactive” seqlevels defined on it.

• Fix bug in isActiveSeq() setter when the TxDb object had “user defined” seqlevels on it.

• Fix many issues with seqlevels() setter for TxDb objects. In particular make the ‘seqlevels(x) <- seqlevels0(x)’ idiom work on TxDb objects.

• Fix bug in makeTxDbFromBiomart() when using it to retrieve a dataset that doesn’t provide the cds_length attribute (e.g. sitalica_eg_gene dataset in plants_mart_26).

GenomicFiles

Changes in version 1.6.0:

BUG FIXES

• is.dt, is.pt

• calculateDistances

• some import/export issues

GenomicRanges

Changes in version 1.22.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Support coercions back and forth between a GRanges object and a character vector (or factor) with elements in the format ‘chr1:2501-2800’ or ‘chr1:2501-2800:+’.

• Add facilities for manipulating “genomic variables”: bindAsGRanges(), mcolAsRleList(), and binnedAverage(). See ?genomicvars for more information.

• Add “narrow” method for GRangesList objects.

• Enhancement to the GRanges() constructor. If the ‘ranges’ argument is not supplied then the constructor proceeds in 2 steps: 1. An initial GRanges object is created with ‘as(seqnames, “GRanges”)’. 2. Then this GRanges object is updated according to whatever other arguments were supplied to the call to GRanges(). Because of this enhancement, GRanges(x) is now equivalent to ‘as(x, “GRanges”)’ e.g. GRanges() can be called directly on a character vector representing ranges, or on a data.frame, or on any object for which coercion to GRanges is supported.

• Add ‘ignore.strand’ argument to “range” and “reduce” methods for GRangesList objects.

• Add coercion from SummarizedExperiment to RangedSummarizedExperiment (also available via updateObject()). See 1st item in DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT section below for more information about this.

• GNCList objects are now subsettable.

• “coverage” methods now accept ‘shift’ and ‘weight’ supplied as an Rle.

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• Modify behavior of “*” strand in precede() / follow() to mimic ‘ignore.strand=TRUE’.

• Revisit “pintersect” methods for GRanges#GRanges, GRangesList#GRanges, and GRanges#GRangesList: - Sanitize their semantic. - Add ‘drop.nohit.ranges’ argument (FALSE by default). - If ‘drop.nohit.ranges’ is FALSE, the returned object now has a “hit” metadata column added to it to indicate the elements in ‘x’ that intersect with the corresponding element in ‘y’.

• binnedAverage() now treats ‘numvar’ as if it was set to zero on genomic positions where it’s not set (typically happens when ‘numvar’ doesn’t span the entire chromosomes because it’s missing the trailing zeros).

• GRanges() constructor no more mangles the names of the supplied metadata columns (e.g. if the column is “_tx_id”).

• makeGRangesFromDataFrame() now accepts “.” in strand column (treated as

• GNCList() constructor now propagates the metadata columns.

• Remove “seqnames” method for RangesList objects.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• The SummarizedExperiment class defined in GenomicRanges is deprecated and replaced by 2 new classes defined in the new SummarizedExperiment package: SummarizedExperiment0 and RangedSummarizedExperiment. In BioC 2.3, the SummarizedExperiment class will be removed from the GenomicRanges package and the SummarizedExperiment0 class will be renamed SummarizedExperiment. To facilitate this transition, a coercion method was added to coerce from old SummarizedExperiment to new RangedSummarizedExperiment (this coercion is performed when calling updateObject() on an old SummarizedExperiment object).

• makeSummarizedExperimentFromExpressionSet() and related stuff was moved to the new SummarizedExperiment package.

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, the rowData accessor is now defunct (replaced with the rowRanges accessor).

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, GIntervalTree objects and the “intervaltree” algorithm in findOverlaps() are now defunct.

• After being deprecated in BioC 3.1, mapCoords() and pmapCoords() are now defunct.

BUG FIXES

• 2 tweaks to subsetting by an GenomicRanges: - Improve speed when the object to subset is a SimpleList (e.g. SimpleRleList). - Fix issue when the GenomicRanges subscript is empty.

PAA

Changes in version 1.3.3 (2015-07-14):

GENERAL

• No changes.

NEW FEATURES

• No changes.

IMPROVEMENTS

• No changes.

MODIFICATIONS

• No changes.

BUG FIXES

• Bug in the function loadGPR() fixed (due to a wrong regular expression some data rows were not imported from gpe files in PAA versions 1.3.2 and 1.3.1 -> the bug was not relevant for the versions 1.3.0 and older).

Changes in version 1.3.2 (2015-06-22):

GENERAL

• Update to the latest R version which has been released a few days ago (2015-06-18).

• Built with R-3.2.1

NEW FEATURES

• No changes.

IMPROVEMENTS

• No changes.

MODIFICATIONS

• NEWS file of version 1.3.1 corrected (wrong version number for the last update in the NEWS file).

BUG FIXES

• No changes.

Changes in version 1.3.1 (2015-06-17):

GENERAL

• The optional rlm normalization (for ProtoArrays) used by the functions normalizeArrays(), plotNormMethods() and plotMAPlots() has been completely reimplemented in order to fix some bugs and simplify the usage of these functions (details: see below).

• Built with R-3.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• No changes.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Due to the modification of the EListRaw objects for ProtoArrays the usage of the functions normalizeArrays(), plotNormMethods() and plotMAPlots() is simplified since some obsolete arguments have been removed (see ‘MODIFICATIONS’). Esp., the provision of a second controls-specific EListRaw object for controls data and information was too complex and has confused some users. Now all control spot-specific data and information are stored together with probe-specific data and information in one extended EListRaw object.

MODIFICATIONS

• On the one hand, the arguments ‘controls.elist’, ‘gpr.path’, ‘targets.path’ and ‘contr.names’ have been removed from the functions normalizeArrays(), plotNormMethods() and plotMAPlots(). On the other hand, the argument ‘controls’ has been added to the functions normalizeArrays(), plotNormMethods() and plotMAPlots().

BUG FIXES

• Due to the re-implementation of the optional rlm normalization (for ProtoArrays) used by the functions normalizeArrays(), plotNormMethods(), plotMAPlots(), all bugs that have been reported by users since version 1.0.0 are fixed.

• add geneannot.map as a generic function for gene ID or annotation mapping.

• sim.mol.data now generate data with all major gene ID types for all 19 species in bods, not just human.

• download.kegg now let the user to choose from xml, png or both file types to download for each input pathway. In the meantime, it uses the KEGG REST API instead of the classical KEGG download links. All potential pathways including the general pathways can be downloaded this way.

• solve the redundant import from graph package.

systemPipeR

Changes in version 1.3:

OVERVIEW

• systemPipeR is an R/Bioconductor package for building and running automated analysis workflows for a wide range of next generation sequence (NGS) applications. Important features include a uniform workflow interface across different NGS applications, automated report generation, and support for running both R and command-line software, such as NGS aligners or peak/variant callers, on local computers or compute clusters. Efficient handling of complex sample sets and experimental designs is facilitated by a consistently implemented sample annotation infrastructure.

• The most important enhancements in the upcoming release of the package are outlined below.

NGS WORKFLOWS

• Added new end-to-end workflows for 3 additional NGS application areas: - Ribo-Seq and polyRibo-Seq - ChIP-Seq - VAR-Seq The previous version of systemPipeR included only a complete workflow for RNA-Seq.

• Added the data package ‘systemPipeRdata’ to generate systemPipeR workflow environments with a single command (genWorkenvir) containing all parameter files and sample data required to quickly test and run workflows. This change will also allow evaluation of much more code examples in the vignettes during the package build/test process than this was possible in the past.

• About 20 new functions have been added to the package. Some examples are: - Read pre-processor function with support for SE and PE reads - Parallelization option of detailed FASTQ quality reports - Read distribution plots across all features available in a genome annotation (see ?featuretypeCounts) - Visualization of coverage trends along transcripts summarized for any number of transcripts (see ?featureCoverage) - Functionalities to predict uORFs/sORFs and to use them for expression profiling - Differential expression/binding analysis includes now DESeq2 as well as edgeR

• Added param templates for additional command-line software including, but not limited to: BWA-MEM, GATK, BCFtools, MACS2

• Adoption of R Markdown for main vignette. Future plans are to provide for all workflows the report templates in both formats: Latex/PDF and R_Markdown/HTML.

WORFLOW FRAMEWORK

• Simplified design of complex analysis workflows. Workflows can now include any number or combination of R and/or command-line steps

• Improvements to workflow automation and parallelization on single machines and computer clusters. This also includes now many additional parallelization examples in the workflow vignettes.

TargetSearch

Changes in version 1.26.0:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• TargetSearch now depends on “ncdf” rather than mzR.

BUG FIXES

• Fix potential potencial pearson correlation errors that occur when the standard is deviation zero. If that is the case, replace the resulting NA/NaN by zero.

• Fix R check warnings.

• TR-part: Hypothesis testing is now separated from result table creation. Therefore, a new function was introduced (tpptrAnalyzeMeltCurves) -> see vignette.

• CCR-part: Curve fitting and plotting are now conducted by separate functions -> see vignette.

• Bug fixes

• Introduced color coding of the columns belonging to different experiments in the excel output. This requires openxlsx version >= 2.4.0.

Changes in version 1.2.5:

• CCR-part: fold changes can now be normalized to their lowest temperature during import by the function tppccrNormalizeToReference. This ensures that the transformed values will always be between 0 and
  1. When normalizing to the lowest concentration, and this value is 0, a small constant (1e-15) is added to prevent division by zero.

• CCR-import: Argument nonZeroCols can be NULL if no additional filtering is needed.

• CCR output: To make filtering easier, the ‘passed_filter’ column now shows FALSE even if proteins could not be used for fitting (instead of NAs).

• CCR output: To make filtering easier, the ‘passed_filter’ column now shows FALSE even if proteins could not be used for fitting (instead of NAs).

• CCR output: column with normalization results was renamed from ‘normalized’ to ‘median_normalized’ to distinguish from the newly introduced normalization to value at lowest concentration.

• Excel export: Columns are only color-coded by experiment, when the number of experiments is > 1.

• Excel export: Columns are only color-coded by experiment when the number of experiments is > 1.
