CytoMDS

FlowCytometry

This package implements a low dimensional visualization of a set of cytometry samples, in order to visually assess the 'distances' between them. This, in turn, can greatly help the user to identify quality issues like batch effects or outlier samples, and/or check the presence of potential sample clusters that might align with the exeprimental design. The CytoMDS algorithm combines, on the one hand, the concept of Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), a.k.a. Wasserstein metric and, on the other hand, the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) algorithm for the low dimensional projection. Also, the package provides some diagnostic tools for both checking the quality of the MDS projection, as well as tools to help with the interpretation of the axes of the projection.

This package provides support for automation and visualization of flow cytometry data analysis pipelines. In the current state, the package focuses on the preprocessing and quality control part. The framework is based on two main S4 classes, i.e. CytoPipeline and CytoProcessingStep. The pipeline steps are linked to corresponding R functions - that are either provided in the CytoPipeline package itself, or exported from a third party package, or coded by the user her/himself. The processing steps need to be specified centrally and explicitly using either a json input file or through step by step creation of a CytoPipeline object with dedicated methods. After having run the pipeline, obtained results at all steps can be retrieved and visualized thanks to file caching (the running facility uses a BiocFileCache implementation). The package provides also specific visualization tools like pipeline workflow summary display, and 1D/2D comparison plots of obtained flowFrames at various steps of the pipeline.

A support vector machine approach to identifying and filtering low quality cells from single-cell RNA-seq datasets.

A collection of tools for doing various analyses of single-cell RNA-seq gene expression data, with a focus on quality control and visualization.

This package is the companion of the `CytoPipeline` package. It provides GUI's (shiny apps) for the visualization of flow cytometry data analysis pipelines that are run with `CytoPipeline`. Two shiny applications are provided, i.e. an interactive flow frame assessment and comparison tool and an interactive scale transformations visualization and adjustment tool.

omicsGMF is a Bioconductor package that uses the sgdGMF-framework of the \code{sgdGMF} package for highly performant and fast matrix factorization that can be used for dimensionality reduction, visualization and imputation of omics data. It considers data from the general exponential family as input, and therefore suits the use of both RNA-seq (Poisson or Negative Binomial data) and proteomics data (Gaussian data). It does not require prior transformation of counts to the log-scale, because it rather optimizes the deviances from the data family specified. Also, it allows to correct for known sample-level and feature-level covariates, therefore enabling visualization and dimensionality reduction upon batch correction. Last but not least, it deals with missing values, and allows to impute these after matrix factorization, useful for proteomics data. This Bioconductor package allows input of SummarizedExperiment, SingleCellExperiment, and QFeature classes.
