megadepth

Software

This package provides an R interface to Megadepth by Christopher Wilks available at https://github.com/ChristopherWilks/megadepth. It is particularly useful for computing the coverage of a set of genomic regions across bigWig or BAM files. With this package, you can build base-pair coverage matrices for regions or annotations of your choice from BigWig files. Megadepth was used to create the raw files provided by https://bioconductor.org/packages/recount3.

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.

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

Tools for plotting SingleCellExperiment objects in the chevreulPlot package. Includes functions for analysis and visualization of single-cell data. Supported by NIH grants R01CA137124 and R01EY026661 to David Cobrinik.

Provides some legacy utility functions for performing single-cell analyses. Most of these functions are deprecated in favor of newer, more performant alternatives. We just keep this package around for back-compatibility and to point to the replacement functions.

CAGE is a widely used high throughput assay for measuring transcription start site (TSS) activity. CAGEfightR is an R/Bioconductor package for performing a wide range of common data analysis tasks for CAGE and 5'-end data in general. Core functionality includes: import of CAGE TSSs (CTSSs), tag (or unidirectional) clustering for TSS identification, bidirectional clustering for enhancer identification, annotation with transcript and gene models, correlation of TSS and enhancer expression, calculation of TSS shapes, quantification of CAGE expression as expression matrices and genome brower visualization.

Quantify expression of transposable elements (TEs) from RNA-seq data through different methods, including ERVmap, TEtranscripts and Telescope. A common interface is provided to use each of these methods, which consists of building a parameter object, calling the quantification function with this object and getting a SummarizedExperiment object as output container of the quantified expression profiles. The implementation allows one to quantify TEs and gene transcripts in an integrated manner.
