Cell Set Overlap Analysis (CSOA) is a tool for calculating per-cell gene signature scores in an scRNA-seq dataset. CSOA constructs a set for each gene in the signature, consisting of the cells that highly express the gene. Next, all overlaps of pairs of cell sets are computed, ranked, filtered and scored. The CSOA per-cell score is calculated by summing up all products of the overlap scores and the min-max-normalized expression of the two involved genes. CSOA can run on a Seurat object, a SingleCellExperiment object, a matrix and a dgCMatrix.

Clonal cell groups share common mutations within cancer, precancer, and even clinically normal appearing tissues. The frequency and location of these mutations may predict prognosis and cancer risk. It has also been well established that certain genomic regions have increased sensitivity to acquiring mutations. Mutation-sensitive genomic regions may therefore serve as markers for predicting cancer risk. This package contains multiple functions to establish significantly mutated hotspots, compare hotspot mutation burden between samples, and perform exploratory data analysis of the correlation between hotspot mutation burden and personal risk factors for cancer, such as age, gender, and history of carcinogen exposure. This package allows users to identify robust genomic markers to help establish cancer risk.

The cfTools R package provides methods for cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation data analysis to facilitate cfDNA-based studies. Given the methylation sequencing data of a cfDNA sample, for each cancer marker or tissue marker, we deconvolve the tumor-derived or tissue-specific reads from all reads falling in the marker region. Our read-based deconvolution algorithm exploits the pervasiveness of DNA methylation for signal enhancement, therefore can sensitively identify a trace amount of tumor-specific or tissue-specific cfDNA in plasma. cfTools provides functions for (1) cancer detection: sensitively detect tumor-derived cfDNA and estimate the tumor-derived cfDNA fraction (tumor burden); (2) tissue deconvolution: infer the tissue type composition and the cfDNA fraction of multiple tissue types for a plasma cfDNA sample. These functions can serve as foundations for more advanced cfDNA-based studies, including cancer diagnosis and disease monitoring.

The BloodGen3Module package provides functions for R user performing module repertoire analyses and generating fingerprint representations. Functions can perform group comparison or individual sample analysis and visualization by fingerprint grid plot or fingerprint heatmap. Module repertoire analyses typically involve determining the percentage of the constitutive genes for each module that are significantly increased or decreased. As we describe in details;https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/525709v2 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33624743/, the results of module repertoire analyses can be represented in a fingerprint format, where red and blue spots indicate increases or decreases in module activity. These spots are subsequently represented either on a grid, with each position being assigned to a given module, or in a heatmap where the samples are arranged in columns and the modules in rows.

BioNERO aims to integrate all aspects of biological network inference in a single package, including data preprocessing, exploratory analyses, network inference, and analyses for biological interpretations. BioNERO can be used to infer gene coexpression networks (GCNs) and gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data. Additionally, it can be used to explore topological properties of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. GCN inference relies on the popular WGCNA algorithm. GRN inference is based on the "wisdom of the crowds" principle, which consists in inferring GRNs with multiple algorithms (here, CLR, GENIE3 and ARACNE) and calculating the average rank for each interaction pair. As all steps of network analyses are included in this package, BioNERO makes users avoid having to learn the syntaxes of several packages and how to communicate between them. Finally, users can also identify consensus modules across independent expression sets and calculate intra and interspecies module preservation statistics between different networks.

This package provides a roclet for roxygen2 that identifies and processes code blocks in your documentation marked with `@longtests`. These blocks should contain tests that take a long time to run and thus cannot be included in the regular test suite of the package. When you run `roxygen2::roxygenise` with the `longtests_roclet`, it will extract these long tests from your documentation and save them in a separate directory. This allows you to run these long tests separately from the rest of your tests, for example, on a continuous integration server that is set up to run long tests.
