Our scLANE model uses truncated power basis spline models to build flexible, interpretable models of single cell gene expression over pseudotime or latent time. The modeling architectures currently supported are Negative-binomial GLMs, GEEs, & GLMMs. Downstream analysis functionalities include model comparison, dynamic gene clustering, smoothed counts generation, gene set enrichment testing, & visualization.

RNAshapeQC provides coverage-shape-based quality control (QC) metrics for mRNA-seq and total RNA-seq data. It supports per-gene pileup construction from BAM files as well as toy datasets for quick-start examples. The package implements protocol-specific metrics, including decay rate (DR), degradation score (DS), mean coverage depth (MCD), window coefficient of variation (wCV), area under the curve (AUC), and shape-based sample-level indices. RNAshapeQC also includes HPC-friendly functions for per-gene batch processing and cross-study pileup generation. This package enables interpretable, protocol-specific QC assessments for diverse RNA-seq workflows.

Most human genes have multiple promoters that control the expression of different isoforms. The use of these alternative promoters enables the regulation of isoform expression pre-transcriptionally. Alternative promoters have been found to be important in a wide number of cell types and diseases. proActiv is an R package that enables the analysis of promoters from RNA-seq data. proActiv uses aligned reads as input, and generates counts and normalized promoter activity estimates for each annotated promoter. In particular, proActiv accepts junction files from TopHat2 or STAR or BAM files as inputs. These estimates can then be used to identify which promoter is active, which promoter is inactive, and which promoters change their activity across conditions. proActiv also allows visualization of promoter activity across conditions.

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

`orthos` decomposes RNA-seq contrasts, for example obtained from a gene knock-out or compound treatment experiment, into unspecific and experiment-specific components. Original and decomposed contrasts can be efficiently queried against a large database of contrasts (derived from ARCHS4, https://maayanlab.cloud/archs4/) to identify similar experiments. `orthos` furthermore provides plotting functions to visualize the results of such a search for similar contrasts.

#' NetActivity enables to compute gene set scores from previously trained sparsely-connected autoencoders. The package contains a function to prepare the data (`prepareSummarizedExperiment`) and a function to compute the gene set scores (`computeGeneSetScores`). The package `NetActivityData` contains different pre-trained models to be directly applied to the data. Alternatively, the users might use the package to compute gene set scores using custom models.

GEOfastq is used to download fastq files from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) starting with an accession from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To do this, sample metadata is retrieved from GEO and the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). SRA run accessions are then used to construct FTP and aspera download links for fastq files generated by the ENA.

The epistack package main objective is the visualizations of stacks of genomic tracks (such as, but not restricted to, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, DNA methyation or genomic conservation data) centered at genomic regions of interest. epistack needs three different inputs: 1) a genomic score objects, such as ChIP-seq coverage or DNA methylation values, provided as a `GRanges` (easily obtained from `bigwig` or `bam` files). 2) a list of feature of interest, such as peaks or transcription start sites, provided as a `GRanges` (easily obtained from `gtf` or `bed` files). 3) a score to sort the features, such as peak height or gene expression value.

This package encapsulate many functions to conduct a differential topology analysis. It focuses on analyzing an 'omic dataset with multiple conditions. While the package is mostly geared toward scRNASeq, it does not place any restriction on the actual input format.

Provides a streamlined workflow for clustering and visualizing gene expression patterns, particularly from time-series RNA-Seq and single-cell experiments. The package is designed to integrate seamlessly within the Bioconductor ecosystem by operating directly on standard data classes such as `SummarizedExperiment` and `SingleCellExperiment`. It implements common clustering algorithms (e.g., k-means, fuzzy c-means) and generates a suite of publication-ready visualizations to explore co-expressed gene modules. Functions are also included to facilitate the visualization of clustering results derived from other popular tools.
