clustComp
clustComp is a package that implements several techniques for the comparison and visualisation of relationships between different clustering results, either flat versus flat or hierarchical versus flat. These relationships among clusters are displayed using a weighted bi-graph, in which the nodes represent the clusters and the edges connect pairs of nodes with non-empty intersection; the weight of each edge is the number of elements in that intersection and is displayed through the edge thickness. The best layout of the bi-graph is provided by the barycentre algorithm, which minimises the weighted number of crossings. In the case of comparing a hierarchical and a non-hierarchical clustering, the dendrogram is pruned at different heights, selected by exploring the tree by depth-first search, starting at the root. Branches are decided to be split according to the value of a scoring function, that can be based either on the aesthetics of the bi-graph or on the mutual information between the hierarchical and the flat clusterings. A mapping between groups of clusters from each side is constructed with a greedy algorithm, and can be additionally visualised.

The _CAGEr_ package identifies transcription start sites (TSS) and their usage frequency from CAGE (Cap Analysis Gene Expression) sequencing data. It normalises raw CAGE tag count, clusters TSSs into tag clusters (TC) and aggregates them across multiple CAGE experiments to construct consensus clusters (CC) representing the promoterome. CAGEr provides functions to profile expression levels of these clusters by cumulative expression and rarefaction analysis, and outputs the plots in ggplot2 format for further facetting and customisation. After clustering, CAGEr performs analyses of promoter width and detects differential usage of TSSs (promoter shifting) between samples. CAGEr also exports its data as genome browser tracks, and as R objects for downsteam expression analysis by other Bioconductor packages such as DESeq2, CAGEfightR, or seqArchR.
Expedite large RNA-Seq analyses using a combination of previously developed tools. YARN is meant to make it easier for the user in performing basic mis-annotation quality control, filtering, and condition-aware normalization. YARN leverages many Bioconductor tools and statistical techniques to account for the large heterogeneity and sparsity found in very large RNA-seq experiments.
This package serves as an upstream pipeline for pre-processing sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics data. Functions includes FASTQ trimming, BAM file reformatting, index building, spatial barcode detection, demultiplexing, gene count matrix generation with UMI deduplication, QC, and revelant visualization. Config is an essential input for most of the functions which aims to improve reproducibility.
iSEEfier provides a set of functionality to quickly and intuitively create, inspect, and combine initial configuration objects. These can be conveniently passed in a straightforward manner to the function call to launch iSEE() with the specified configuration. This package currently works seamlessly with the sets of panels provided by the iSEE and iSEEu packages, but can be extended to accommodate the usage of any custom panel (e.g. from iSEEde, iSEEpathways, or any panel developed independently by the user).
Provides functions for inferring continuous, branching lineage structures in low-dimensional data. Slingshot was designed to model developmental trajectories in single-cell RNA sequencing data and serve as a component in an analysis pipeline after dimensionality reduction and clustering. It is flexible enough to handle arbitrarily many branching events and allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge through supervised graph construction.
This package provides many easy-to-use methods to analyze and visualize tomo-seq data. The tomo-seq technique is based on cryosectioning of tissue and performing RNA-seq on consecutive sections. (Reference: Kruse F, Junker JP, van Oudenaarden A, Bakkers J. Tomo-seq: A method to obtain genome-wide expression data with spatial resolution. Methods Cell Biol. 2016;135:299-307. doi:10.1016/bs.mcb.2016.01.006) The main purpose of the package is to find zones with similar transcriptional profiles and spatially expressed genes in a tomo-seq sample. Several visulization functions are available to create easy-to-modify plots.
