mastR

Software

mastR is an R package designed for automated screening of signatures of interest for specific research questions. The package is developed for generating refined lists of signature genes from multiple group comparisons based on the results from edgeR and limma differential expression (DE) analysis workflow. It also takes into account the background noise of tissue-specificity, which is often ignored by other marker generation tools. This package is particularly useful for the identification of group markers in various biological and medical applications, including cancer research and developmental biology.

ILoReg is a tool for identification of cell populations from scRNA-seq data. In particular, ILoReg is useful for finding cell populations with subtle transcriptomic differences. The method utilizes a self-supervised learning method, called Iteratitive Clustering Projection (ICP), to find cluster probabilities, which are used in noise reduction prior to PCA and the subsequent hierarchical clustering and t-SNE steps. Additionally, functions for differential expression analysis to find gene markers for the populations and gene expression visualization are provided.

satuRn provides a higly performant and scalable framework for performing differential transcript usage analyses. The package consists of three main functions. The first function, fitDTU, fits quasi-binomial generalized linear models that model transcript usage in different groups of interest. The second function, testDTU, tests for differential usage of transcripts between groups of interest. Finally, plotDTU visualizes the usage profiles of transcripts in groups of interest.

Highly interactive & modular shiny app to explore three facets of RNA-Seq analysis: differential expression (DE), functional enrichment and pattern analysis. Several visualizations are implemented to provide a wide-ranging view of data sets. For DE analysis, we provide PCA plot, MA plot, Upset plot & heatmaps, in addition to a highly customizable gene plot. Seven different visualizations are available for functional enrichment analysis, and we also support gene pattern analysis. Genes of interest can be tracked across all modules using the gene scratchpad. In addition, carnation provides an integrated platform to manage multiple projects and user access that can be run on a central server to share with collaborators.

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.

The tidyexposomics package is designed to facilitate the integration of exposure and omics data to identify exposure-omics associations. We structure our commands to fit into the tidyverse framework, where commands are designed to be simplified and intuitive. Here we provide functionality to perform quality control, sample and exposure association analysis, differential abundance analysis, multi-omics integration, and functional enrichment analysis.
