DspikeIn

Microbiome

Provides a reproducible and modular workflow for absolute microbial quantification using spike-in controls. Supports both single spike-in taxa and synthetic microbial communities with user-defined spike-in volumes and genome copy numbers. Compatible with 'phyloseq' and 'TreeSummarizedExperiment' (TSE) data structures. The package implements methods for spike-in validation, preprocessing, scaling factor estimation, absolute abundance conversion, bias correction, and normalization. Facilitates downstream statistical analyses with 'DESeq2', 'edgeR', and other Bioconductor-compatible methods. Visualization tools are provided via 'ggplot2', 'ggtree', and related packages. Includes detailed vignettes, case studies, and function-level documentation to guide users through experimental design, quantification, and interpretation.

Provides an interface to several normalization and statistical testing packages for RNA-Seq gene expression data. Additionally, it creates several diagnostic plots, performs meta-analysis by combinining the results of several statistical tests and reports the results in an interactive way.

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

Sequencing and microarray samples often are collected or processed in multiple batches or at different times. This often produces technical biases that can lead to incorrect results in the downstream analysis. BatchQC is a software tool that streamlines batch preprocessing and evaluation by providing interactive diagnostics, visualizations, and statistical analyses to explore the extent to which batch variation impacts the data. BatchQC diagnostics help determine whether batch adjustment needs to be done, and how correction should be applied before proceeding with a downstream analysis. Moreover, BatchQC interactively applies multiple common batch effect approaches to the data and the user can quickly see the benefits of each method. BatchQC is developed as a Shiny App. The output is organized into multiple tabs and each tab features an important part of the batch effect analysis and visualization of the data. The BatchQC interface has the following analysis groups: Summary, Differential Expression, Median Correlations, Heatmaps, Circular Dendrogram, PCA Analysis, Shape, ComBat and SVA.

Set of tools for evaluating pooled high-throughput screening experiments, typically employing CRISPR/Cas9 or shRNA expression cassettes. Contains methods for interrogating library and cassette behavior within an experiment, identifying differentially abundant cassettes, aggregating signals to identify candidate targets for empirical validation, hypothesis testing, and comprehensive reporting. Version 2.0 extends these applications to include a variety of tools for contextualizing and integrating signals across many experiments, incorporates extended signal enrichment methodologies via the "sparrow" package, and streamlines many formal requirements to aid in interpretablity.

CATALYST provides tools for preprocessing of and differential discovery in cytometry data such as FACS, CyTOF, and IMC. Preprocessing includes i) normalization using bead standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation. For differential discovery, the package provides a number of convenient functions for data processing (e.g., clustering, dimension reduction), as well as a suite of visualizations for exploratory data analysis and exploration of results from differential abundance (DA) and state (DS) analysis in order to identify differences in composition and expression profiles at the subpopulation-level, respectively.

Spaniel includes a series of tools to aid the quality control and analysis of Spatial Transcriptomics data. Spaniel can import data from either the original Spatial Transcriptomics system or 10X Visium technology. The package contains functions to create a SingleCellExperiment Seurat object and provides a method of loading a histologial image into R. The spanielPlot function allows visualisation of metrics contained within the S4 object overlaid onto the image of the tissue.
