Implements a variety of methods for combining p-values in differential analyses of genome-scale datasets. Functions can combine p-values across different tests in the same analysis (e.g., genomic windows in ChIP-seq, exons in RNA-seq) or for corresponding tests across separate analyses (e.g., replicated comparisons, effect of different treatment conditions). Support is provided for handling log-transformed input p-values, missing values and weighting where appropriate.

High-throughput sequencing technologies allow the production of large volumes of short sequences, which can be aligned to the genome to create a set of matches to the genome. By looking for regions of the genome which to which there are high densities of matches, we can infer a segmentation of the genome into regions of biological significance. The methods in this package allow the simultaneous segmentation of data from multiple samples, taking into account replicate data, in order to create a consensus segmentation. This has obvious applications in a number of classes of sequencing experiments, particularly in the discovery of small RNA loci and novel mRNA transcriptome discovery.

This package allows users to control the false discovery rate (FDR) or familywise error rate (FWER) for online multiple hypothesis testing, where hypotheses arrive in a stream. In this framework, a null hypothesis is rejected based on the evidence against it and on the previous rejection decisions.

Test two sets of gene lists and visualize the results.

Detects differential interactions across biological conditions in a Hi-C experiment. Methods are provided for read alignment and data pre-processing into interaction counts. Statistical analysis is based on edgeR and supports normalization and filtering. Several visualization options are also available.

Detection of differentially bound regions in ChIP-seq data with sliding windows, with methods for normalization and proper FDR control.
