PaIRKAT is model framework for assessing statistical relationships between networks of metabolites (pathways) and an outcome of interest (phenotype). PaIRKAT queries the KEGG database to determine interactions between metabolites from which network connectivity is constructed. This model framework improves testing power on high dimensional data by including graph topography in the kernel machine regression setting. Studies on high dimensional data can struggle to include the complex relationships between variables. The semi-parametric kernel machine regression model is a powerful tool for capturing these types of relationships. They provide a framework for testing for relationships between outcomes of interest and high dimensional data such as metabolomic, genomic, or proteomic pathways. PaIRKAT uses known biological connections between high dimensional variables by representing them as edges of ‘graphs’ or ‘networks.’ It is common for nodes (e.g. metabolites) to be disconnected from all others within the graph, which leads to meaningful decreases in testing power whether or not the graph information is included. We include a graph regularization or ‘smoothing’ approach for managing this issue.

MetaPhOR was developed to enable users to assess metabolic dysregulation using transcriptomic-level data (RNA-sequencing and Microarray data) and produce publication-quality figures. A list of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which includes fold change and p value, from DESeq2 or limma, can be used as input, with sample size for MetaPhOR, and will produce a data frame of scores for each KEGG pathway. These scores represent the magnitude and direction of transcriptional change within the pathway, along with estimated p-values.MetaPhOR then uses these scores to visualize metabolic profiles within and between samples through a variety of mechanisms, including: bubble plots, heatmaps, and pathway models.

This package implements a variety of functions useful for gene set analysis using rotations to approximate the null distribution. It contributes with the implementation of seven test statistic scores that can be used with different goals and interpretations. Several functions are available to complement the statistical results with graphical representations.

MetaboDynamics is an R-package that provides a framework of probabilistic models to analyze longitudinal metabolomics data. It enables robust estimation of mean concentrations despite varying spread between timepoints and reports differences between timepoints as well as metabolite specific dynamics profiles that can be used for identifying "dynamics clusters" of metabolites of similar dynamics. Provides probabilistic over-representation analysis of KEGG functional modules and pathways as well as comparison between clusters of different experimental conditions.

Graph objects from pathway topology derived from KEGG, Panther, PathBank, PharmGKB, Reactome SMPDB and WikiPathways databases.

ExpoRiskR provides tools for exposure-aware multi-omics risk modeling in translational and environmental health studies. The package aligns sample identifiers across exposure and multi-omics blocks, performs lightweight preprocessing, and fits exposure-adjusted association models to build interpretable microbe–metabolite networks. It also computes simple exposure perturbation summaries and generates publication-ready visualizations. Workflows support both matrix-based inputs and SummarizedExperiment objects.
