New Software Packages

There are 105 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

• ADAM ADAM is a GSEA R package created to group a set of genes from comparative samples (control versus experiment) belonging to different species according to their respective functions (Gene Ontology and KEGG pathways as default) and show their significance by calculating p-values referring togene diversity and activity. Each group of genes is called GFAG (Group of Functionally Associated Genes).

• ADAMgui ADAMgui is a Graphical User Interface for the ADAM package. The ADAMgui package provides 2 shiny-based applications that allows the user to study the output of the ADAM package files through different plots. It’s possible, for example, to choose a specific GFAG and observe the gene expression behavior with the plots created with the GFAGtargetUi function. Features such as differential expression and foldchange can be easily seen with aid of the plots made with GFAGpathUi function.

• adductomicsR Processes MS2 data to identify potentially adducted peptides from spectra that has been corrected for mass drift and retention time drift and quantifies MS1 level mass spectral peaks.

• alevinQC Generate QC reports summarizing the output from an alevin run. Reports can be generated as html or pdf files, or as shiny applications.

• AMARETTO Integrating an increasing number of available multi-omics cancer data remains one of the main challenges to improve our understanding of cancer. One of the main challenges is using multi-omics data for identifying novel cancer driver genes. We have developed an algorithm, called AMARETTO, that integrates copy number, DNA methylation and gene expression data to identify a set of driver genes by analyzing cancer samples and connects them to clusters of co-expressed genes, which we define as modules. We applied AMARETTO in a pancancer setting to identify cancer driver genes and their modules on multiple cancer sites. AMARETTO captures modules enriched in angiogenesis, cell cycle and EMT, and modules that accurately predict survival and molecular subtypes. This allows AMARETTO to identify novel cancer driver genes directing canonical cancer pathways.

• animalcules animalcules is an R package for utilizing up-to-date data analytics, visualization methods, and machine learning models to provide users an easy-to-use interactive microbiome analysis framework. It can be used as a standalone software package or users can explore their data with the accompanying interactive R Shiny application. Traditional microbiome analysis such as alpha/beta diversity and differential abundance analysis are enhanced, while new methods like biomarker identification are introduced by animalcules. Powerful interactive and dynamic figures generated by animalcules enable users to understand their data better and discover new insights.

• atSNP atSNP performs affinity tests of motif matches with the SNP or the reference genomes and SNP-led changes in motif matches.

• BANDITS BANDITS is a Bayesian hierarchical model for detecting differential splicing of genes and transcripts, via differential transcript usage (DTU), between two or more conditions. The method uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework, which allows for sample specific proportions in a Dirichlet-Multinomial model, and samples the allocation of fragments to the transcripts. Parameters are inferred via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques and a DTU test is performed via a multivariate Wald test on the posterior densities for the average relative abundance of transcripts.

• batchelor Implements a variety of methods for batch correction of single-cell (RNA sequencing) data. This includes methods based on detecting mutually nearest neighbors as well as a simple sparsity-preserving translation of the population means. Functions are also provided for global rescaling to remove differences in depth between batches, and to perform a principal components analysis that is robust to differences in the numbers of cells across different batches.

• bigPint Methods for visualizing large multivariate datasets using static and interactive scatterplot matrices, parallel coordinate plots, volcano plots, and litre plots. Includes examples for visualizing RNA-sequencing datasets and differentially expressed genes.

• BiocSingular Implements exact and approximate methods for singular value decomposition and principal components analysis, in a framework that allows them to be easily switched within Bioconductor packages or workflows. Where possible, parallelization is achieved using the BiocParallel framework.

• BioMM The identification of reproducible biological patterns from high-dimensional omics data is a key factor in understanding the biology of complex disease or traits. Incorporating prior biological knowledge into machine learning is an important step in advancing such research. We have proposed a biologically informed multi-stage machine learing framework termed BioMM specifically for phenotype prediction based on omics-scale data where we can evaluate different machine learning models with various prior biological meta information.

• celda celda leverages Bayesian hierarchical modeling to cluster genes, cells, or both simultaneously from single cell sequencing data.

• CellBench This package contains infrastructure for benchmarking analysis methods and access to single cell mixture benchmarking data. It provides a framework for organising analysis methods and testing combinations of methods in a pipeline without explicitly laying out each combination. It also provides utilities for sampling and filtering SingleCellExperiment objects, constructing lists of functions with varying parameters, and multithreaded evaluation of analysis methods.

• CellMixS Evaluate Cellspecific Mixing Scores (CMS) for different batches/groups in scRNA-seq data.

• CHETAH CHETAH is a accurate, selective and fast scRNA-seq classifier. Classification is guided by a reference dataset, preferentially also a scRNA-seq dataset. By hierarchical clustering of the reference data, CHETAH creates a classification tree that enables a step-wise, top-to-bottom classification. Using a novel stopping rule, CHETAH classifies the input cells to the cell types of the references and to “intermediate types”: more general classifications that ended in an intermediate node of the tree.

• CluMSID CluMSID is a tool that aids the identification of features in untargeted LC-MS/MS analysis by the use of MS2 spectra similarity and unsupervised statistical methods. It offers functions for a complete and customisable workflow from raw data to visualisations and is interfaceable with the xmcs family of preprocessing packages.

This includes functionality for summarizing individual CNV calls across a population, assessing overlap with functional genomic regions, and association analysis with gene expression and quantitative phenotypes.

• cola Subgroup classification is a basic task in genomic data analysis, especially for gene expression data and methylation data. It can predict novel subgroups when there is nothing known about the data or it can test consistency between predicted subgroups with known annotations. The cola package provides a general framework for subgroup classification by consensus clustering. It has following features: 1. It modularizes the consensus clustering processes that various methods can be easily integrated. 2. It provides rich visualizations for interpreting the results. 3. It allows running multiple methods at the same time and provides functionalities to compare results in a straightforward way. 4.

• CopyNumberPlots CopyNumberPlots have a set of functions extending karyoploteRs functionality to create beautiful, customizable and flexible plots of copy-number related data.

• CoRegFlux CoRegFlux aims at providing tools to integrate reverse engineered gene regulatory networks and gene-expression into metabolic models to improve prediction of phenotypes, both for metabolic engineering, through transcription factor or gene (TF) knock-out or overexpression in various conditions as well as to improve our understanding of the interactions and cell inner-working.

• cytofast Multi-parametric flow and mass cytometry allows exceptional high-resolution exploration of the cellular composition of the immune system. Together with tools like FlowSOM and Cytosplore it is possible to identify novel cell types. By introducing cytofast we hope to offer a workflow for visualization and quantification of cell clusters for an efficient discovery of cell populations associated with diseases or other clinical outcomes.

• dcanr Methods and an evaluation framework for the inference of differential co-expression/association networks.

• deco This package discovers differential features in hetero- and homogeneous omic data by a two-step method including subsampling LIMMA and NSCA. DECO reveals feature associations to hidden subclasses not exclusively related to higher deregulation levels.

• decompTumor2Sig Uses quadratic programming for signature refitting, i.e., to decompose the mutation catalog from an individual tumor sample into a set of given mutational signatures (either Alexandrov-model signatures or Shiraishi-model signatures), computing weights that reflect the contributions of the signatures to the mutation load of the tumor.

• DelayedDataFrame Based on the standard DataFrame metaphor, we are trying to implement the feature of delayed operation on the DelayedDataFrame, with a slot of lazyIndex, which saves the mapping indexes for each column of DelayedDataFrame. Methods like show, validity check, [/[[ subsetting, rbind/cbind are implemented for DelayedDataFrame to be operated around lazyIndex. The listData slot stays untouched until a realization call e.g., DataFrame constructor OR as.list() is invoked.

• DeMixT DeMixT is a software package that performs deconvolution on transcriptome data from a mixture of two or three components.

• DepecheR The purpose of this package is to identify traits in a dataset that can separate groups. This is done on two levels. First, clustering is performed, using an implementation of sparse K-means. Secondly, the generated clusters are used to predict outcomes of groups of individuals based on their distribution of observations in the different clusters. As certain clusters with separating information will be identified, and these clusters are defined by a sparse number of variables, this method can reduce the complexity of data, to only emphasize the data that actually matters.

• DiscoRhythm Set of functions for estimation of cyclical characteristics, such as period, phase, amplitude, and statistical significance in large temporal datasets. Supporting functions are available for quality control, dimensionality reduction, spectral analysis, and analysis of experimental replicates. Contains a R Shiny web interface to execute all workflow steps.

• divergence This package provides functionality for performing divergence analysis as presented in Dinalankara et al, “Digitizing omics profiles by divergence from a baseline”, PANS 2018. This allows the user to simplify high dimensional omics data into a binary or ternary format which encapsulates how the data is divergent from a specified baseline group with the same univariate or multivariate features.

• DNABarcodeCompatibility The package allows one to obtain optimized combinations of DNA barcodes to be used for multiplex sequencing. In each barcode combination, barcodes are pooled with respect to Illumina chemistry constraints. Combinations can be filtered to keep those that are robust against substitution and insertion/deletion errors thereby facilitating the demultiplexing step. In addition, the package provides an optimizer function to further favor the selection of barcode combinations with least redundancy of DNA barcodes.

• doseR doseR package is a next generation sequencing package for sex chromosome dosage compensation which can be applied broadly to detect shifts in gene expression among an arbitrary number of pre-defined groups of loci. doseR is a differential gene expression package for count data, that detects directional shifts in expression for multiple, specific subsets of genes, broad utility in systems biology research. doseR has been prepared to manage the nature of the data and the desired set of inferences. doseR uses S4 classes to store count data from sequencing experiment. It contains functions to normalize and filter count data, as well as to plot and calculate statistics of count data. It contains a framework for linear modeling of count data. The package has been tested using real and simulated data.

• enrichTF As transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in regulating the transcription process through binding on the genome alone or in a combinatorial manner, TF enrichment analysis is an efficient and important procedure to locate the candidate functional TFs from a set of experimentally defined regulatory regions. While it is commonly accepted that structurally related TFs may have similar binding preference to sequences (i.e. motifs) and one TF may have multiple motifs, TF enrichment analysis is much more challenging than motif enrichment analysis. Here we present a R package for TF enrichment analysis which combine motif enrichment with the PECA model.

• epihet epihet is an R-package that calculates the epigenetic heterogeneity between cancer cells and/or normal cells. The functions establish a pipeline that take in bisulfite sequencing data from multiple samples and use the data to track similarities and differences in epipolymorphism,proportion of discordantly methylated sequencing reads (PDR),and Shannon entropy values at epialleles that are shared between the samples.epihet can be used to perform analysis on the data by creating pheatmaps, box plots, PCA plots, and t-SNE plots.

• GAPGOM Collection of various measures and tools for lncRNA annotation prediction put inside a redistributable R package. The package contains two main algorithms; lncRNA2GOA and TopoICSim. lncRNA2GOA tries to annotate novel genes (in this specific case lncRNAs) by using various correlation/geometric scoring methods on correlated expression data. After correlating/scoring, the results are annotated and enriched. TopoICSim is a topologically based method, that compares gene similarity based on the topology of the GO DAG by information content (IC) between GO terms.

• mbkmeans Implements the mini-batch k-means algorithm for large datasets, including support for on-disk data representation.

• Melissa Melissa is a Baysian probabilistic model for jointly clustering and imputing single cell methylomes. This is done by taking into account local correlations via a Generalised Linear Model approach and global similarities using a mixture modelling approach.

• metagene2 This package produces metagene plots to compare coverages of sequencing experiments at selected groups of genomic regions. It can be used for such analyses as assessing the binding of DNA-interacting proteins at promoter regions or surveying antisense transcription over the length of a gene. The metagene2 package can manage all aspects of the analysis, from normalization of coverages to plot facetting according to experimental metadata. Bootstraping analysis is used to provide confidence intervals of per-sample mean coverages.

• miRspongeR This package provides several functions to study miRNA sponge (also called ceRNA or miRNA decoy), including popular methods for identifying miRNA sponge interactions, and the integrative method to integrate miRNA sponge interactions from different methods, as well as the functions to validate miRNA sponge interactions, and infer miRNA sponge modules, conduct enrichment analysis of modules, and conduct survival analysis of modules.

• mnem Mixture Nested Effects Models (mnem) is an extension of Nested Effects Models and allows for the analysis of single cell perturbation data provided by methods like Perturb-Seq (Dixit et al., 2016) or Crop-Seq (Datlinger et al., 2017). In those experiments each of many cells is perturbed by a knock-down of a specific gene, i.e. several cells are perturbed by a knock-down of gene A, several by a knock-down of gene B, … and so forth. The observed read-out has to be multi-trait and in the case of the Perturb-/Crop-Seq gene are expression profiles for each cell. mnem uses a mixture model to simultaneously cluster the cell population into k clusters and and infer k networks causally linking the perturbed genes for each cluster. The mixture components are inferred via an expectation maximization algorithm.

• Modstrings Representing nucleotide modifications in a nucleotide sequence is usually done via special characters from a number of sources. This represents a challenge to work with in R and the Biostrings package. The Modstrings package implements this functionallity for RNA and DNA sequences containing modified nucleotides by translating the character internally in order to work with the infrastructure of the Biostrings package. For this the ModRNAString and ModDNAString classes and derivates and functions to construct and modify these objects despite the encoding issues are implemenented. In addition the conversion from sequences to list like location information (and the reverse operation) is implemented as well.

• MOFA Multi-Omics Factor Analysis: an unsupervised framework for the integration of multi-omics data sets.

• nanotatoR Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has successfully been used to identify single-nucleotide variants (SNV), small insertions and deletions and, more recently, small copy number variants. However, due to utilization of short reads, it is not well suited for identification of structural variants (SV) and the majority of SV calling tools having high false positive and negative rates.Optical next-generation mapping (NGM) utilizes long fluorescently labeled native-state DNA molecules for de novo genome assembly to overcome the limitations of WGS. NGM allows for a significant increase in SV detection capability. However, accuracy of SV annotation is highly important for variant classification and filtration to determine pathogenicity.Here we create a new tool in R, for SV annotation, including population frequency and gene function and expression, using publicly available datasets. We use DGV (Database of Genomic Variants), to calculate the population frequency of the SVs identified by the Bionano SVCaller in the NGM dataset of a cohort of 50 undiagnosed patients with a variety of phenotypes. The new annotation tool, nanotatoR, also calculates the internal frequency of SVs, which could be beneficial in identification of potential false positive or common calls. The software creates a primary gene list (PG) from NCBI databases based on patient phenotype and compares the list to the set of genes overlapping the patient’s SVs generated by SVCaller, providing analysts with an easy way to identify variants affecting genes in the PG. The output is given in an Excel file format, which is subdivided into multiple sheets based on SV type. Users then have a choice to filter SVs using the provided annotation for identification of inherited, de novo or rare variants. nanotatoR provides integrated annotation and the expression patterns to enable users to identify potential pathogenic SVs with greater precision and faster turnaround times.

• NBAMSeq High-throughput sequencing experiments followed by differential expression analysis is a widely used approach to detect genomic biomarkers. A fundamental step in differential expression analysis is to model the association between gene counts and covariates of interest. NBAMSeq a flexible statistical model based on the generalized additive model and allows for information sharing across genes in variance estimation.

• netboost Boosting supported network analysis for high-dimensional omics applications. This package comes bundled with the MC-UPGMA clustering package by Yaniv Loewenstein.

• OmicsLonDA Statistical method that provides robust identification of time intervals where omics features (such as proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, microbiome, as well as physiological parameters captured by wearable sensors such as heart rhythm, body temperature, and activity level) are significantly different between groups.

• OVESEG An R package for multiple-group comparison to detect tissue/cell-specific marker genes among subtypes. It provides functions to compute OVESEG-test statistics, derive component weights in the mixture null distribution model and estimate p-values from weightedly aggregated permutations.

• PAIRADISE This package implements the PAIRADISE procedure for detecting differential isoform expression between matched replicates in paired RNA-Seq data.

• PAST PAST takes GWAS output and assigns SNPs to genes, uses those genes to find pathways associated with the genes, and plots pathways based on significance. Implements methods for reading GWAS input data, finding genes associated with SNPs, calculating enrichment score and significance of pathways, and plotting pathways.

• pathwayPCA Apply the Supervised PCA and Adaptive, Elastic-Net, Sparse PCA methods to extract principal components from each pathway. Use these pathway- specific principal components as the design matrix relating the response to each pathway. Return the model fit statistic p-values, and adjust these values for False Discovery Rate. Return a data frame of the pathways sorted by their adjusted p-values. This package has corresponding vignettes hosted in the ‘‘User Guides’’ page of https://gabrielodom.github.io/pathwayPCA/index.html, and the website for the development information is hosted at https://github.com/gabrielodom/pathwayPCA.

• PCAtools Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is a very powerful technique that has wide applicability in data science, bioinformatics, and further afield. It was initially developed to analyse large volumes of data in order to tease out the differences/relationships between the logical entities being analysed. It extracts the fundamental structure of the data without the need to build any model to represent it. This ‘summary’ of the data is arrived at through a process of reduction that can transform the large number of variables into a lesser number that are uncorrelated, i.e., the principal components, whilst at the same time being capable of easy interpretation on the original data.

• phemd Package for comparing and generating a low-dimensional embedding of multiple single-cell samples.

• pipeFrame pipeFrame is an R package for building a componentized bioinformatics pipeline. Each step in this pipeline is wrapped in the framework, so the connection among steps is created seamlessly and automatically. Users could focus more on fine-tuning arguments rather than spending a lot of time on transforming file format, passing task outputs to task inputs or installing the dependencies. Componentized step elements can be customized into other new pipelines flexibly as well. This pipeline can be split into several important functional steps, so it is much easier for users to understand the complex arguments from each step rather than parameter combination from the whole pipeline. At the same time, componentized pipeline can restart at the breakpoint and avoid rerunning the whole pipeline, which may save a lot of time for users on pipeline tuning or such issues as power off or process other interrupts.

• PoTRA The PoTRA analysis is based on topological ranks of genes in biological pathways. PoTRA can be used to detect pathways involved in disease (Li, Liu & Dinu, 2018). We use PageRank to measure the relative topological ranks of genes in each biological pathway, then select hub genes for each pathway, and use Fishers Exact test to determine if the number of hub genes in each pathway is altered from normal to cancer (Li, Liu & Dinu, 2018). Alternatively, if the distribution of topological ranks of gene in a pathway is altered between normal and cancer, this pathway might also be involved in cancer (Li, Liu & Dinu, 2018). Hence, we use the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test to detect pathways that have an altered distribution of topological ranks of genes between two phenotypes (Li, Liu & Dinu, 2018). PoTRA can be used with the KEGG, Biocarta, Reactome, NCI, SMPDB and PharmGKB databases from the devel graphite library.

• pram Publicly available RNA-seq data is routinely used for retrospective analysis to elucidate new biology. Novel transcript discovery enabled by large collections of RNA-seq datasets has emerged as one of such analysis. To increase the power of transcript discovery from large collections of RNA-seq datasets, we developed a new R package named Pooling RNA-seq and Assembling Models (PRAM), which builds transcript models in intergenic regions from pooled RNA-seq datasets. This package includes functions for defining intergenic regions, extracting and pooling related RNA-seq alignments, predicting, selected, and evaluating transcript models.

It was developed primarily for mass-spectrometry proteomics (DIA/SWATH), but could also be applicable to most omic data with minor adaptations. The package contains functions for diagnostics (proteome/genome-wide and feature-level), correction (normalization and batch effects correction) and quality control. Non-linear fitting based approaches were also included to deal with complex, mass spectrometry-specific signal drifts.

• profileplyr Quick and straighforward visualization of read signal over genomic intervals is key for generating hypotheses from sequencing data sets (e.g. ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, bisulfite/methyl-seq). Many tools both inside and outside of R and Bioconductor are available to explore these types of data, and they typically start with a bigWig or BAM file and end with some representation of the signal (e.g. heatmap). profileplyr leverages many Bioconductor tools to allow for both flexibility and additional functionality in workflows that end with visualization of the read signal.

• rScudo SCUDO (Signature-based Clustering for Diagnostic Purposes) is a rank-based method for the analysis of gene expression profiles for diagnostic and classification purposes. It is based on the identification of sample-specific gene signatures composed of the most up- and down-regulated genes for that sample. Starting from gene expression data, functions in this package identify sample-specific gene signatures and use them to build a graph of samples. In this graph samples are joined by edges if they have a similar expression profile, according to a pre-computed similarity matrix. The similarity between the expression profiles of two samples is computed using a method similar to GSEA. The graph of samples can then be used to perform community clustering or to perform supervised classification of samples in a testing set.

• scAlign An unsupervised deep learning method for data alignment, integration and estimation of per-cell differences in -omic data (e.g. gene expression) across datasets (conditions, tissues, species). See Johansen and Quon (2019) <doi:10.1101/504944> for more details.

• scds In single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data combinations of cells are sometimes considered a single cell (doublets). The scds package provides methods to annotate doublets in scRNA-seq data computationally.

• scMerge Like all gene expression data, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-Seq) data suffers from batch effects and other unwanted variations that makes accurate biological interpretations difficult. The scMerge method leverages factor analysis, stably expressed genes (SEGs) and (pseudo-) replicates to remove unwanted variations and merge multiple scRNA-Seq data. This package contains all the necessary functions in the scMerge pipeline, including the identification of SEGs, replication-identification methods, and merging of scRNA-Seq data.

• scRecover scRecover is an R package for imputation of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. It will detect and impute dropout values in a scRNA-seq raw read counts matrix while keeping the real zeros unchanged, since there are both dropout zeros and real zeros in scRNA-seq data. By combination with scImpute, SAVER and MAGIC, scRecover not only detects dropout and real zeros at higher accuracy, but also improve the downstream clustering and visualization results.

• SpatialCPie SpatialCPie is an R package designed to facilitate cluster evaluation for spatial transcriptomics data by providing intuitive visualizations that display the relationships between clusters in order to guide the user during cluster identification and other downstream applications. The package is built around a shiny “gadget” to allow the exploration of the data with multiple plots in parallel and an interactive UI. The user can easily toggle between different cluster resolutions in order to choose the most appropriate visual cues.

• SpectralTAD SpectralTAD is an R package designed to identify Topologically Associated Domains (TADs) from Hi-C contact matrices. It uses a modified version of spectral clustering that uses a sliding window to quickly detect TADs. The function works on a range of different formats of contact matrices and returns a bed file of TAD coordinates. The method does not require users to adjust any parameters to work and gives them control over the number of hierarchical levels to be returned.

• sRACIPE sRACIPE implements a randomization-based method for gene circuit modeling. It allows us to study the effect of both the gene expression noise and the parametric variation on any gene regulatory circuit (GRC) using only its topology, and simulates an ensemble of models with random kinetic parameters at multiple noise levels. Statistical analysis of the generated gene expressions reveals the basin of attraction and stability of various phenotypic states and their changes associated with intrinsic and extrinsic noises. sRACIPE provides a holistic picture to evaluate the effects of both the stochastic nature of cellular processes and the parametric variation.

• ssrch Demonstrate tokenization and a search gadget for collections of CSV files.

• Structstrings The Structstrings package implements the widely used dot bracket annotation for storing base pairing information in structured RNA.

New Workflows

There are 4 new workflow packages in this release of Bioconductor.

• BgeeCall Reference intergenic regions are generated by the Bgee RNA-Seq pipeliene. These intergenic regions are used to generate all Bgee RNA-Seq present/absent expression calls. This package now allows to generate your own present/absent calls using both these intergenic regions and the expertise of Bgee, as long as your species is present in Bgee. The threshold of present/absent expression is no longer arbitrary defined but is calculated based on expression of all RNA-Seq libraries integrated in Bgee.

• CAGEWorkflow Workflow for analyzing Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) data using R/Bioconductor.

• csawUsersGuide A user’s guide for the csaw package for detecting differentially bound regions in ChIP-seq data. Describes how to read in BAM files to obtain a per-window count matrix, filtering to obtain high-abundance windows of interest, normalization of sample-specific biases, testing for differential binding, consolidation of per-window results to obtain per-region statistics, and annotation and visualization of the DB results.

• SingscoreAMLMutations This workflow package shows how transcriptomic signatures can be used to infer phenotypes. The workflow begins by showing how the TCGA AML transcriptomic data can be downloaded and processed using the TCGAbiolinks packages. It then shows how samples can be scored using the singscore package and signatures from the MSigDB. Finally, the predictive capacity of scores in the context of predicting a specific mutation in AML is shown.The workflow exhibits the interplay of Bioconductor packages to achieve a gene-set level analysis.

CAGEfightR

                     Changes in version 1.5                         

• Added new functions for spatial analysis of clusters: findLinks finds nearby pairs of clusters (for example TSSs and enhancers) and calculates the correlation of expression between them. findStretches find stretches along the genome where clusters are within a certain distance of eachother (for example groups of enhancer forming a super enhancer) and calculates the average pairwise correlation between members.

• Changed the way clustering works: CAGEfightR uses coverage() to calculate genome-wide signals and now rounds the resulting signal to a certain number of digits (this can be modified via the CAGEfightR.round option), to prevent small positive or negative values due to floating point errors. This makes clustering more stable meaning the tuneTagClustering function is now deprecated. This should also increase the speed of most functions.

• CAGEfightR now uses GPos instead of GRanges for storing CTSSs, this should result in improved memory performance.

• Several changes to clusterBidirectionality: Balance is now calculated using the midpoint as well (preventing some rare cases where the midpoint could mask a single highly expressed CTSS), the pooled CTSS signal is now prefiltered for bidirectionality to increase speed and custom balance function can be provided (Bhattacharyya coefficient and Andersson’s D are included).

• Added new check-functions to make it easier to check if objects are formatted correctly

decompTumor2Sig

             Changes in version 1.99.1 (2019-04-07)                 

• Changed the procedure which converts lists of individual mutations from MPF files into tumor mutation profiles to reduce the memory footprint and allow for larger sets of tumors to be read from file.

• When genomes are read from files: remove genomes without SNVs (no mutation frequencies)

• Recognize indels for which either the REF or ALT base is specified as “-“

• Fix bugs: o Error when quadprog returned a mutation frequency of minimally larger than 1 (which is theoretically impossible but can probably happen due to the rounding of floating point numbers)

             Changes in version 1.99.0 (2018-11-10)                 
  

• When transcription direction is taken into account: exclude mutations in regions with overlapping genes of opposing transcription directions by default! Previous versions of decompTumor2Sig took the approach of pmsignature, using the transcription direction of the first gene encountered in the transcript database (which is rather arbitrary); excluding these mutations appears more appropriate. The old approach can still be used with an additional function parameter.

• Removed pmsignature from the suggested packages (not allowed in Bioconductor)

• Reduced the number of tumor genome examples in extdata for faster processing and smaller package size (six out of 21 tumors from PMID:22608084)

             Changes in version 1.3.3 (2018-09-24)                  
  

• Implemented own signature plotting to remove code dependency from pmsignature

• Decoupled the following data conversions functions from pmsignature code: o getGenomesFromMutFeatData() o getSignaturesFromEstParam()

• Moved some common code to a new internal function for ease of maintenance.

• Fixed bugs: o Error when some sequence names where not found in the reference genome, e.g., due to different names of decoy sequences. o Minor problems with unlikely signatures composed of only the mutated base (no flanking bases)

             Changes in version 1.3.2 (2018-08-29)                  
  

• Fixed a minor bug in mapSignatureSets() that occurred when the two signature sets had the same size.

• Added functions to verify the format of signatures, genomes and exposures: o isAlexandrovSet(), isShiraishiSet(), isSignatureSet() o sameSignatureFormat() o isExposureSet()

• Moved description of deprecated BiocInstaller in vignette to BiocManager.

             Changes in version 1.3.1 (2018-08-15)                  
  

• Updated DESCRIPTION file o replaced Author and Maintainer by Authors@R o added URL for BugReports

• Changed from manual NAMESPACE and *Rd files to a creation by roxygen2

• Changed function names for reading data from “load…” to “read…”

• Shortened the longest function names o getGenomesFromMutationFeatureData -> getGenomesFromMutFeatData o getSignatureListFromEstimatedParameters -> getSignaturesFromEstParam

• Used robust sequence creation with seq, seq_len, seq_along instead of 1:N etc

• Consistent use of native class checking such as is.numeric()

• Implemented wrapper functions for external classes which do not provide the necessary accessor functions

• Replaced instances of sapply() and unlist(lapply()) by vapply()

• Updated vignette and made most code chunks runnable

• Added greedy search option to plotExplainedVariance (significant speed-up)

ideal

                    Changes in version 1.8.0                        

New features

• plot_ma gains an additional parameter, labels_repel, for better placing the labels on the features to mark - The pairwise correlation plots can now use logarithmic scale in the axes, use smaller subsets of the data for quicker inspection, and resizes the correlation info proportionally to its intensity - The id types can now be chosen among the keytypes of the corresponding annotation packages (which still need to be installed when ideal is launched). Other input fields that specify id types also behave in a similar manner (e.g. in the Signature Explorer tab). This caused a problem for scenarios where common id types such as ENSEMBL are not available, like in Arabidopsis (where ids are provided often as TAIR) - thanks to Marc Galland for picking this up in https://github.com/federicomarini/ideal/issues/1 - The Signatures Explorer tab also has a fully fledged tour for first-time users, together with a collapsible help panel to describe its functionality in brief - The zoomed MA-plot gains a new widget to control the labels size for the names of the genes - It is possible to export the input data together with the results in a combined SummarizedExperiment object, which can be seamlessly fed into iSEE (http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/iSEE.html). This leverages a new function, wrapup_for_iSEE, which is available and exported from ideal.

Other notes

• An information box has been added to provide detailed information on the required input formats - Added notification to specify how to install the airway package for demonstration purposes if not already available - The Signatures Explorer tab is now displayed in a conditional panel, i.e. only when the required inputs are provided

• major update of INSPEcT, which now handles additional functions and analysis, such as: (i) extracting RNA dynamics from only total RNA-seq data, (ii) assessing differential regulation between steady states with an improved statistics, (iii) assessing the burden of the processing rate step in the responsiveness of mature RNA.

• minor updates regard the estimation of the variance from replicates, that now uses the package “DESeq2” (when read counts are available) or “plgem” (when only expression data is available) ######## the INSPEcT datasets older than this version are NOT COMPATIBLE anymore ############## ######## and must be updated using the function “convert_ids”, available in the ############## ######## “inst” folder of the package. Usage: ############## > source(file.path(system.file(package=’INSPEcT’), ‘convert_ids.R’)) > new_ids <- convert_ids(old_ids, degDuringPulse=c(FALSE,TRUE))

IntEREst

                    Changes in version 1.8.0

• interest() and interest.sequential() functions support the possibility to define other parameter settings of BamFile() function of Rsamtools package e.g. “qnamePrefixEnd” and “qnameSuffixStart”.

• annotateU12() can return the PWM match scores (if requested). The hybrid AT-AG and GT-AC U12 types can be set to be ignored. The introns/exons coordinates can be filtered according to their map to another set of coordinates.

BUG FIXES

• referencePrepare() just gives warning and continue without annotating gene names (when annotateGeneIds=TRUE parameter is set) if annotating with gene names is not possible.

Developers are required to migrate their code to use GRanges or GRangesList instead of RangedData objects (the GRanges and GRangesList classes are defined in the GenomicRanges package).

• Several RangedData methods are now defunct (after being deprecated in BioC 3.8): - score, score<-, lapply, within, countOverlaps; - coercions from list, data.frame, DataTable, Rle, RleList, RleViewsList, IntegerRanges, or IntegerRangesList to RangedData.

limma

                   Changes in version 3.40.0                        

• Major rewrite of arrayWeights() to improve speed and stability. The arrayWeightsSimple() function has been removed and its functionality incorporated into arrayWeights(). A new ‘var.group’ argument has been added to simplify specification of the variance design matrix. The weights are now squeezed slightly towards unit and a new argument ‘prior.n’ has been added to control the prior weight with which the array weights are squeezed. arrayWeights() now chooses between the REML and gene-by-gene algorithms automatically by default. REML is chosen when there are no prior weights or missing values and gene-by-gene is used otherwise. arrayWeights() now checks for and skips over any genes with zero residual variances.

• voom() now checks for experiments that have no replication. In this case it now returns weights that are all 1, with an informative warning but no error. Two references have been added to the voom help page.

• classifyTests.Rd now focuses on nested F-tests. The function FStat() is now removed. It was a convenience wrapper for classifyTestsF() with fstat.only=TRUE but is not used often enough to justify itself. classifyTestsP() is no longer exported as it is not intended to be called by users. The function classifyTestsT() is now removed, having been superceded by more sophisticated multiple testing methods.

• contrasts.fit() now removes any test statistics or p-values found in the fit object. This avoids any potential mis-match between coefficients and test statistics if eBayes() has been run on the object previously.

  More details have been added to the warning about approximations in the contrasts.fit() help page.

• The old function ebayes(), which was deprecated a year ago in favor of eBayes(), is now removed.

• The fitted() and residuals() methods for MArrayLM objects now give an informative error message if the object contains contrasts instead of the original coefficients.

• Rewrite Filtering chapter of User’s Guide.

• Add Research Fields to the biocViews entry in the package DESCRIPTION file.

maftools

                    Changes in version 2.0.0

2018-12-13

See the issues within the “Bioconductor Submission” and “Vignette Work” milestones for detailed descriptions of these changes, their discussion, and motivation: https://github.com/gabrielodom/pathwayPCA/issues

• Standardized naming conventions to UpperCamelCase for consistency - Changed class name pathwaySet -> pathwayCollection - Added functions SubsetPathwayData, getPathPCLs, LoadOntoPCs, write_gmt, getSampleIDs, CheckSampleIDs, getTrimPathwayCollection, getPathwayCollection, CheckPwyColl, CheckAssay, and print and subset methods for pathwayCollection objects - Added sample ID requirements for input assays and phenotype data. Changed the phenotype required class from anything to a data frame. - Made the lars implementation a touch more robust. If the algorithm fails to converge, then we default back to regular SVD - The AESPCA function can also return pathway-specific vanilla PCA. Also, we inspected the parametric p-values compared to the permutation-based p-values. They congruence is nearly perfect for all of the data sets we tested. Thus, we changed the default p-value estimation method for AESPCA to be parametric. - Method functions (*_pVals()) now return a list with the p-values data frame, list of PC vectors (in a data frame), and list of loading vectors (in a data frame). The getPathPCLs function will subset this list to return the PCs, loadings, and administrivia of the method PCA output for a single pathway - added the June homo sapiens pathway collection from WikiPathways: wikipwsHS_Entrez_pathwayCollection - Lily wrote a vignette geared to show off the diverse functionality of the package, so this is the new main vignette. I broke off the plots from chapter 4 into their own chapter. The five vignettes I wrote are now supplemental chapters - updated vignettes and website

                 Changes in version 0.0.0.9000                      
  

2018-03-20

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

pcaExplorer

                   Changes in version 2.10.0                        

New features

• Added extra parameters to topGOtable to offer more control on the method used, and the option to correct the p-values for multiple testing (via the Benjamini-Yekutieli procedure) - pca2go has now an option to return (early) a list with vectors of genes with high loadings - Better preview of the uploaded data with modal dialog windows triggered by buttons which appear once corresponding inputs are available - Improved notification system: in addition to the progress bar, info that all input is correctly specified, or suggest optional annotation loading - Added flexibility to select separator for each of the uploadable files - The pairwise correlation plots can now use logarithmic scale in the axes, use smaller subsets of the data for quicker inspection, and resizes the correlation info proportionally to its intensity - The sample to sample heatmap supports additionally manhattan and correlation-based distances - There is a new vignette with a detailed quick start, “Up and running with pcaExplorer”, specifying how the workflow with pcaExplorer can look like, demonstrated on the airway dataset - In the Instructions panel, we added buttons to access the fully rendered documentation, either local or online if e.g. deployed to a server. Related to this, pcaExplorer has a new parameter, runLocal, to control this behavior - An additional parameter, annopkg, has been added to pca2go() to override the behavior with the organism parameter (this is useful when the name of the annotation package is not conform to the classical org.Xx.eg.db, e.g. for Arabidopsis Thaliana); a detailed use case has been added in the main vignette

Other notes

• The computing of the required objects now requires the explicit action on the dedicated button, and the tooltip informs the user on what steps are taken (including normalization) - An information box has been added to provide detailed information on the required input formats - Added notification to specify how to install the airway package for demonstration purposes if not already available - Added startup message upon loading the package - The content in the Instructions tab is now contained in collapsible elements - The file formats accepted by pcaExplorer are now specified both in the vignette text, as well as in the app at runtime - The content of the Instructions tab is now more compact, containing the rendered “Up and running with pcaExplorer” vignette. The full vignettes can be accessed via buttons in the same panel - Added instructions to install phantomJS via the webshot package - would raise an error when previewing the report

pqsfinder

                     Changes in version 2.0                         

NEW FEATURES

• The qsfinder algorithm is ~100 times faster on real-world sequences than before. The main idea of the optimization is to stop the exhaustive search when we are sure there can’t be found better PQS. The optimization is applied only in non-overlapping mode.

• New boolean argument called “deep”. Once set to TRUE, pqsfinder will disable optimizations and run full exhaustive search.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Default minimal PQS score was increased from 26 to 52. The score 52 shows the best balanced accuracy on G4 sequencing data provided by Chambers et al. 2015.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed resolution of overlapping sequences. When multiple same-scoring PQS overlap, the shortest one is chosen.

qPLEXanalyzer

                    Changes in version 1.1.4                        

• Fixed bug in coveragePlot - github Issue 15: Previously the function cleaned the beginning of each peptide sequence by gsub(“^\[.\].([A-Z]+).\[.\]$”, “\1”, .). However, it is not always the case that the terminal amino acids are surround by square brackets. I have put a more general regex in place that removes everything up to the first ‘.’ and everything after the last ‘.’.

                    Changes in version 1.1.3

                    Changes in version 1.1.1                        
  

• Fixed bug in maVolPlot - github Issue 12: Previously the ‘selectedGenes’ argument used GeneSymbols to match genes to highlight in the plot. Not all accessions are annotated with a GeneSymbol, and some GeneSymbols are linked to more than one Accession. This could lead to situations where incorrect genes were being highlighted due to duplicate entries or NAs. The function now accepts and matches to accessions instead - this is now noted in the man pages.

• Fixed bug in convertToMSnset - github Issue 11: The function previously threw and error if the metadata was a tibble as it needs to set row names. The function now tranforms the metadata object to a data frame.

                    Changes in version 1.1.0

• new legends in scatterplots.

• custom point colors in PCA plot function. uses sampleMeta$CustomColor and disables the built in legend.

• custom genes in plots. See ExtractProjection() very useful, not yet in vignette - it calculates a projection among your custom gene set.

• Add lfcThreshold to the DESeq routines, so the p-values are adjusted correctly. ( implemented 1.15.1 ) This changes the behavior of most of the system. Expect a different gene set.

• New option to INIT() called renormalize, allowing user to specify preferred matrix normalization schema rather than the default DESeq2::varianceStabilizingTransform (when renormalize=FALSE).

• uses p.adjust(method=’BH’) on GOSeq’s results to shorten the GO term list. use the ‘padj’ column.

• New option to DESeq , vst with blind=TRUE/FALSE at user discretion.

• added CITATION FILE in 1.15.13

• tweaking vignette in 1.15.15 to debug bioconductor OSX build-server LaTeX versions. And 1.15.16, switching from biblatex to natbib.

rhdf5

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Include various additional files from Samtools 1.7: bam_aux.c, bam_endian.h, and bam_cat.c

• Add C function faidx_fetch_seq_forced_lower() to the HTSlib code. This is an alternative to HTSlib C function faidx_fetch_seq(), with the following difference: if coordinates are outside the actual sequence, write N’s, rather than adjusting the start,end. Used in the seqbias package (and originally written by seqbias’ author and maintainer, Daniel Jones).

BUG FIXES

• Fix long-standing kvsprintf() bug on Windows. This low-level bug was responsible for breaking “scan_bcf_header” .Call entry point in Rsamtools, which in turn was responsible for the infamous ‘invalid class “VCFHeader” object’ bug in VariantAnnotation::readVcf().

• Fix for Solaris: Do not build standalone executables (e.g. bgzip, tabix, etc…). They’re not needed and seem to cause problems on Solaris.

TFEA.ChIP

                    Changes in version 1.3.5                        

New Features

• Integrate enrichment analysis results by TF with rankTFs(). The function uses the output of getCMstats() to perform Wilcoxon rank-sum test or GSEA on the ChIPs ordered by distance score.

New default database

• The TF-Gene database included with TFEA.ChIP was built using ReMap’s ChIP-seq collection (v. 2018) and GeneHancer’s Double Elite regulatory regions (v. 4.8). Because of memory limits, the internal database included in TFEA.ChIP only stores ChIP-gene information from the 1060 ChIP-seqs from the ENCODE project included in ReMap 2018. To download the full database, as well as other ready-to-use databases generated for TFEA.ChIP, visit: https://github.com/LauraPS1/TFEA.ChIP_downloads

universalmotif

                    Changes in version 1.2.0                        

NEW FEATURES

• New motif_peaks() function: test for significantly overrepresented peaks of motif sites in a set of sequences.

• New get_bkg() function: calculate background frequencies of sequence alphabets, including higher order backgrounds. Works for any sequence alphabet. Can also create MEME background format files.

• read_meme() has a new option, readites.meta, which allows for reading individual motif site positions and P-values, as well as combined sequence P-values.

• shuffle_sequences(…, method = “markov”) works for any set of characters instead of just DNA/RNA.

• shuffle_sequences(): new shuffling method, ‘euler’. This allows for k>1 shuffling that preserves exact letter counts, as opposed to ‘markov’. This method is set as the new default shuffling method.

• create_sequences() has a new option “freqs” which allows for generating sequence from higher order backgrounds and any sequence alphabet (options “monofreqs”, “difreqs” and “trifreqs” are now deprecated).

• universalmotif objects can now hold onto higher order backgrounds.

• motif_pvalue() with use.freq > 1 can calculate P-values from provided higher-order backgrounds, instead of assuming a uniform background.

• add_multifreq() adds corresponding higher order background probabilities to motifs.

• New get_klets() utility function: generate all possible k-lets for any set of characters.

• New score_match() utility function: score a match for a particular motif.

• New get_matches() utility function: get all possible motif matches above a certain score.

• New count_klets() utility function: count all k-lets for any string of characters.

• New motif_score() utility function: calculate motif score from input thresholds.

• New shuffle_string() utility function: shuffle a string of character using one of three methods: euler, linear, and markov.

• The native write_motifs()/read_motifs() universalmotif format is now YAML based. Motifs written before v1.2.0 can still be read by read_motifs().

MINOR CHANGES

• Increased input security for character type parameters throughout.

• Expanded motif_pvalue(), scan_sequences(), motif_tree() examples sections.

• New vignette sections for motif_peaks() and get_bkg() added to SequenceSearches.Rmd.

• Various vignette tweaks.

• Fixed various spelling mistakes throughout, added Language field to Description, and added spell check to tests.

• Documentation for the “random” shuffling method has been removed and a warning is shown when used to tell the user that it will be removed in the next minor update.

• Generally increased test coverage.

• The “k=1”, “linear” and “markov” shuffling methods are much faster.

• create_sequences() for higher order backgrounds is much faster.

• Faster add_multifreqs(): slight improvement for DNA motifs, big improvement for non-DNA motifs.

• sample_sites() has been rewritten for use.freq > 1: the probability of each letter in the site is now dependent on the previous letters (also faster and more memory efficient for any use.freq).

• Improvement to calculating motif scores from p-value input: no longer guesses different scores, instead estimating a normal distribution of scores. This new approach is much, much faster and more memory efficient. It does however assume a uniform background.

• The “score.pct” column in scan_sequences() results now represents the percent score based on the total possible score, not just the score between zero and the max possible score.

• summarise_motifs() is much faster.

• Objects in data/ are saved using serialization format version 3.

• convert_motifs(motif, class = “universalmotif-universalmotif”): performs a validObject() check if “motif” is a universalmotif object.

• The show() method for universalmotif objects performs a validObject() check first.

• motif_rc() has a new option “ignore.alphabet”, used to turn on or off the alphabet check (checks for DNA/RNA motif).

• Added “overwrite” and “append” options to write_*() functions.

• enrich_motifs(…, return.scan.results = FALSE): uses a slimmed down version of scan_sequences() which skips construction of the complete results data.frame, saving a tiny bit of time on large jobs.

• compare_motifs() now includes log P-values. This way comparisons can still be properly ranked even if their P-values are below the machine limit.

• convert_motifs() from MotifList (MotifDb) carries over dataSource.

• If a MEME motif has two names, the second will be assigned as “altname” by read_meme().

• Utilities documentation has been split into two: ?utils-motif and ?utils-sequence.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed IC score calculation from character input in create_motif().

• The internal DNA consensus letter calculation previously did not assign ambiguous letters when one PPM position was >0.5 and another was >0.25. This was unintended behaviour and will now output the proper ambigous DNA letter.
