dominatR is an R package for quantifying and visualizing feature dominance in datasets. dominatR applies concepts drawn from physics such as center of mass and shannon's entropy to effectively visualize features (e.g. genes) that are present within a specific context or condition. The package integrates, dataframes, matrices and SummerizedExperiment objects and is able to perform common genomic normalization methods. The key aspect is the generation of plots that serve to highlight context-relevant feature dominance.

The goal of MineICA is to perform Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on multiple transcriptome datasets, integrating additional data (e.g molecular, clinical and pathological). This Integrative ICA helps the biological interpretation of the components by studying their association with variables (e.g sample annotations) and gene sets, and enables the comparison of components from different datasets using correlation-based graph.

Visualize mapped reads along with annotation as track layers for NGS dataset such as ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, DNA-seq, SNPs and methylation data.

TimeScape is an automated tool for navigating temporal clonal evolution data. The key attributes of this implementation involve the enumeration of clones, their evolutionary relationships and their shifting dynamics over time. TimeScape requires two inputs: (i) the clonal phylogeny and (ii) the clonal prevalences. Optionally, TimeScape accepts a data table of targeted mutations observed in each clone and their allele prevalences over time. The output is the TimeScape plot showing clonal prevalence vertically, time horizontally, and the plot height optionally encoding tumour volume during tumour-shrinking events. At each sampling time point (denoted by a faint white line), the height of each clone accurately reflects its proportionate prevalence. These prevalences form the anchors for bezier curves that visually represent the dynamic transitions between time points.

This package is here to support legacy usages of it, but it should not be used for new code development. It provides a single function, plotScreen, for visualising data in microtitre plate or slide format. As a better alternative for such functionality, please consider the platetools package on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/package=platetools and https://github.com/Swarchal/platetools), or ggplot2 (geom_raster, facet_wrap) as exemplified in the vignette of this package.

The package contains methods such as normalization and normalization correction, transformation, imputation, batch effect correction, PCA, heatmap, differential expression, time-series clustering, gene set enrichment analysis, and kinase activity inference.

The objective of this package is to efficiently create scatterplots where groups can be distinguished by color and texture. Visualizations in computational biology tend to have many groups making it difficult to distinguish between groups solely on color. Thus, this package is useful for increasing the accessibility of scatterplot visualizations to those with visual impairments such as color blindness.

Scale4C is an R/Bioconductor package for scale-space transformation and visualization of 4C-seq data. The scale-space transformation is a multi-scale visualization technique to transform a 2D signal (e.g. 4C-seq reads on a genomic interval of choice) into a tesselation in the scale space (2D, genomic position x scale factor) by applying different smoothing kernels (Gauss, with increasing sigma). This transformation allows for explorative analysis and comparisons of the data's structure with other samples.

RNA structure binding profiles can be visually and quantitatively compared across multiple formats.

Genomic analysis can be utilised to identify differences between RNA populations in two conditions, both in production and abundance. This includes the identification of RNAs produced by multiple genomes within a biological system. For example, RNA produced by pathogens within a host or mobile RNAs in plant graft systems. The mobileRNA package provides methods to pre-process, analyse and visualise the sRNA and mRNA populations based on the premise of mapping reads to all genotypes at the same time.

It provides a wide variety of microbiome data analysis procedures under the unified and common framework (tidy-like framework).

Data quality assessment is an integral part of preparatory data analysis to ensure sound biological information retrieval. We present here the MatrixQCvis package, which provides shiny-based interactive visualization of data quality metrics at the per-sample and per-feature level. It is broadly applicable to quantitative omics data types that come in matrix-like format (features x samples). It enables the detection of low-quality samples, drifts, outliers and batch effects in data sets. Visualizations include amongst others bar- and violin plots of the (count/intensity) values, mean vs standard deviation plots, MA plots, empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) plots, visualizations of the distances between samples, and multiple types of dimension reduction plots. Furthermore, MatrixQCvis allows for differential expression analysis based on the limma (moderated t-tests) and proDA (Wald tests) packages. MatrixQCvis builds upon the popular Bioconductor SummarizedExperiment S4 class and enables thus the facile integration into existing workflows. The package is especially tailored towards metabolomics and proteomics mass spectrometry data, but also allows to assess the data quality of other data types that can be represented in a SummarizedExperiment object.

MapScape integrates clonal prevalence, clonal hierarchy, anatomic and mutational information to provide interactive visualization of spatial clonal evolution. There are four inputs to MapScape: (i) the clonal phylogeny, (ii) clonal prevalences, (iii) an image reference, which may be a medical image or drawing and (iv) pixel locations for each sample on the referenced image. Optionally, MapScape can accept a data table of mutations for each clone and their variant allele frequencies in each sample. The output of MapScape consists of a cropped anatomical image surrounded by two representations of each tumour sample. The first, a cellular aggregate, visually displays the prevalence of each clone. The second shows a skeleton of the clonal phylogeny while highlighting only those clones present in the sample. Together, these representations enable the analyst to visualize the distribution of clones throughout anatomic space.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and cell lines are widely used models in all kinds of biological research. As part of characterising these models, DNA sequencing technology and bioinformatics analyses are used systematically to study their genomes. Therefore, large volumes of data are generated and various algorithms are applied to analyse this data, which introduces a challenge on representing all findings in an informative and concise manner. `gmoviz` provides users with an easy way to visualise and facilitate the explanation of complex genomic editing events on a larger, biologically-relevant scale.
