The BPRMeth package is a probabilistic method to quantify explicit features of methylation profiles, in a way that would make it easier to formally use such profiles in downstream modelling efforts, such as predicting gene expression levels or clustering genomic regions or cells according to their methylation profiles.

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.

Perform the zFPKM transform on RNA-seq FPKM data. This algorithm is based on the publication by Hart et al., 2013 (Pubmed ID 24215113). Reference recommends using zFPKM > -3 to select expressed genes. Validated with encode open/closed chromosome data. Works well for gene level data using FPKM or TPM. Does not appear to calibrate well for transcript level data.

The aim of vidger is to rapidly generate information-rich visualizations for the interpretation of differential gene expression results from three widely-used tools: Cuffdiff, DESeq2, and edgeR.

SIGHTS is a suite of normalization methods, statistical tests, and diagnostic graphical tools for high throughput screening (HTS) assays. HTS assays use microtitre plates to screen large libraries of compounds for their biological, chemical, or biochemical activity.

This package provides a framework and complete preset pipeline for quantification and analysis of ATAC-seq Reads. It covers raw sequencing reads preprocessing (FASTQ files), reads alignment (Rbowtie2), aligned reads file operations (SAM, BAM, and BED files), peak calling (F-seq), genome annotations (Motif, GO, SNP analysis) and quality control report. The package is managed by dataflow graph. It is easy for user to pass variables seamlessly between processes and understand the workflow. Users can process FASTQ files through end-to-end preset pipeline which produces a pretty HTML report for quality control and preliminary statistical results, or customize workflow starting from any intermediate stages with esATAC functions easily and flexibly.

The ERSSA package takes user supplied RNA-seq differential expression dataset and calculates the number of differentially expressed genes at varying biological replicate levels. This allows the user to determine, without relying on any a priori assumptions, whether sufficient differential detection has been acheived with their RNA-seq dataset.
