CGEN
This is a package for analysis of case-control data in genetic epidemiology. It provides a set of statistical methods for evaluating gene-environment (or gene-genes) interactions under multiplicative and additive risk models, with or without assuming gene-environment (or gene-gene) independence in the underlying population.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a widely used tool for identification of genetic variants associated with phenotypes and diseases, though complex diseases featuring many genetic variants with small effects present difficulties for traditional these studies. By leveraging pleiotropy, the statistical power of a single GWAS can be increased. This package provides functions for fitting graph-GPA, a statistical framework to prioritize GWAS results by integrating pleiotropy. 'GGPA' package provides user-friendly interface to fit graph-GPA models, implement association mapping, and generate a phenotype graph.
Implements a parametric semi-supervised mixture model. The permutation test detects markers with main or interactive effects, without distinguishing them. Possible applications include genome-wide association analysis and differential expression analysis.
This package provides functions for fitting GPA, a statistical framework to prioritize GWAS results by integrating pleiotropy information and annotation data. In addition, it also includes ShinyGPA, an interactive visualization toolkit to investigate pleiotropic architecture.
This package implements a method to analyze single-cell RNA- seq Data utilizing flexible Dirichlet Process mixture models. Genes with differential distributions of expression are classified into several interesting patterns of differences between two conditions. The package also includes functions for simulating data with these patterns from negative binomial distributions.
Pipeline for Statistical Inference of Associations between Microbial Communities And host phenoTypes (SIAMCAT). A primary goal of analyzing microbiome data is to determine changes in community composition that are associated with environmental factors. In particular, linking human microbiome composition to host phenotypes such as diseases has become an area of intense research. For this, robust statistical modeling and biomarker extraction toolkits are crucially needed. SIAMCAT provides a full pipeline supporting data preprocessing, statistical association testing, statistical modeling (LASSO logistic regression) including tools for evaluation and interpretation of these models (such as cross validation, parameter selection, ROC analysis and diagnostic model plots).
This package provides ISoLDE a new method for identifying imprinted genes. This method is dedicated to data arising from RNA sequencing technologies. The ISoLDE package implements original statistical methodology described in the publication below.
