Estimate variance-mean dependence in count data from high-throughput sequencing assays and test for differential expression based on a model using the negative binomial distribution.

A streamlined tool provides a graphical user interface for quality control based signal drift correction (QC-RFSC), integration of data from multi-batch MS-based experiments, and the comprehensive statistical analysis in metabolomics and proteomics.

To date, thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with complex traits and diseases. However, the vast majority of these disease-associated SNPs lie in the non-coding part of the genome, and are likely to affect regulatory elements, such as enhancers and promoters, rather than function of a protein. Thus, to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic traits and diseases, it becomes increasingly important to study the effect of a SNP on nearby molecular traits such as chromatin environment or transcription factor (TF) binding. Towards this aim, we developed SNPhood, a user-friendly *Bioconductor* R package to investigate and visualize the local neighborhood of a set of SNPs of interest for NGS data such as chromatin marks or transcription factor binding sites from ChIP-Seq or RNA- Seq experiments. SNPhood comprises a set of easy-to-use functions to extract, normalize and summarize reads for a genomic region, perform various data quality checks, normalize read counts using additional input files, and to cluster and visualize the regions according to the binding pattern. The regions around each SNP can be binned in a user-defined fashion to allow for analysis of very broad patterns as well as a detailed investigation of specific binding shapes. Furthermore, SNPhood supports the integration with genotype information to investigate and visualize genotype-specific binding patterns. Finally, SNPhood can be employed for determining, investigating, and visualizing allele-specific binding patterns around the SNPs of interest.

This package performs differential pattern analysis for Ribo-seq data. It identifies genes with significantly different patterns in the ribosome footprint between two conditions. RiboDiPA contains five major components including bam file processing, P-site mapping, data binning, differential pattern analysis and footprint visualization.

Nucleosome positioning for Tiling Arrays and NGS experiments.

‘idpr’ aims to integrate tools for the computational analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) within R. This package is used to identify known characteristics of IDPs for a sequence of interest with easily reported and dynamic results. Additionally, this package includes tools for IDP-based sequence analysis to be used in conjunction with other R packages. Described in McFadden WM & Yanowitz JL (2022). "idpr: A package for profiling and analyzing Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in R." PloS one, 17(4), e0266929. <https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0266929>.

DEWSeq is a sliding window approach for the analysis of differentially enriched binding regions eCLIP or iCLIP next generation sequencing data.

This package performs degradation normalization in bulk RNA-seq data to improve differential expression analysis accuracy. It provides estimates for each gene within each sample.
