animalcules is an R package for utilizing up-to-date data analytics, visualization methods, and machine learning models to provide users an easy-to-use interactive microbiome analysis framework. It can be used as a standalone software package or users can explore their data with the accompanying interactive R Shiny application. Traditional microbiome analysis such as alpha/beta diversity and differential abundance analysis are enhanced, while new methods like biomarker identification are introduced by animalcules. Powerful interactive and dynamic figures generated by animalcules enable users to understand their data better and discover new insights.

anglemania extracts genes from multi-batch scRNA-seq experiments for downstream dataset integration. It shows improvement over the conventional usage of highly-variable genes for many integration tasks. We leverage gene-gene correlations that are stable across batches to identify biologically informative genes which are less affected by batch effects. Currently, its main use is for single-cell RNA-seq dataset integration, but it can be applied for other multi-batch downstream analyses such as NMF.

This package is used for complex patient clustering by integrating multi-omic data through affinity network fusion.

ANCOMBC is a package containing differential abundance (DA) and correlation analyses for microbiome data. Specifically, the package includes Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction 2 (ANCOM-BC2), Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction (ANCOM-BC), and Analysis of Composition of Microbiomes (ANCOM) for DA analysis, and Sparse Estimation of Correlations among Microbiomes (SECOM) for correlation analysis. Microbiome data are typically subject to two sources of biases: unequal sampling fractions (sample-specific biases) and differential sequencing efficiencies (taxon-specific biases). Methodologies included in the ANCOMBC package are designed to correct these biases and construct statistically consistent estimators.

The project is intended to support the use of sequins (synthetic sequencing spike-in controls) owned and made available by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. The goal is to provide a standard open source library for quantitative analysis, modelling and visualization of spike-in controls.

Studies including both microbiome and metabolomics data are becoming more common. Often, it would be helpful to integrate both datasets in order to see if they corroborate each others patterns. All vs all association is imprecise and likely to yield spurious associations. This package takes a knowledge-based approach to constrain association search space, only considering metabolite-function pairs that have been recorded in a pathway database. This package also provides a framework to assess differential association.

`amplican` performs alignment of the amplicon reads, normalizes gathered data, calculates multiple statistics (e.g. cut rates, frameshifts) and presents results in form of aggregated reports. Data and statistics can be broken down by experiments, barcodes, user defined groups, guides and amplicons allowing for quick identification of potential problems.

A pure data-driven gene network, weighted gene co-expression network (WGCN) could be constructed only from expression profile. Different layers in such networks may represent different time points, multiple conditions or various species. AMOUNTAIN aims to search active modules in multi-layer WGCN using a continuous optimization approach.

Integrating an increasing number of available multi-omics cancer data remains one of the main challenges to improve our understanding of cancer. One of the main challenges is using multi-omics data for identifying novel cancer driver genes. We have developed an algorithm, called AMARETTO, that integrates copy number, DNA methylation and gene expression data to identify a set of driver genes by analyzing cancer samples and connects them to clusters of co-expressed genes, which we define as modules. We applied AMARETTO in a pancancer setting to identify cancer driver genes and their modules on multiple cancer sites. AMARETTO captures modules enriched in angiogenesis, cell cycle and EMT, and modules that accurately predict survival and molecular subtypes. This allows AMARETTO to identify novel cancer driver genes directing canonical cancer pathways.

Installing this package ensures that all known alabaster.* packages are also installed, avoiding problems with missing packages when a staging method or loading function is dynamically requested. Obviously, this comes at the cost of needing to install more packages, so advanced users and application developers may prefer to install the required alabaster.* packages individually.

Airpart identifies sets of genes displaying differential cell-type-specific allelic imbalance across cell types or states, utilizing single-cell allelic counts. It makes use of a generalized fused lasso with binomial observations of allelic counts to partition cell types by their allelic imbalance.

More about what it does (maybe more than one line)

For single cell RNA-seq data collected from more than one subject (e.g. biological sample or technical replicates), this package contains tools to summarize single cell gene expression profiles at the level of subject. A SingleCellExperiment object is taken as input and converted to a list of SummarizedExperiment objects, where each list element corresponds to an assigned cell type. The SummarizedExperiment objects contain aggregate gene-by-subject count matrices and inter-subject column metadata for individual subjects that can be processed using downstream bulk RNA-seq tools.
