miRspongeR
This package provides several functions to explore miRNA sponge (also called ceRNA or miRNA decoy) regulation from putative miRNA-target interactions or/and transcriptomics data (including bulk, single-cell and spatial gene expression data). It provides eight popular methods for identifying miRNA sponge interactions, and an integrative method to integrate miRNA sponge interactions from different methods, as well as the functions to validate miRNA sponge interactions, and infer miRNA sponge modules, conduct enrichment analysis of miRNA sponge modules, and conduct survival analysis of miRNA sponge modules. By using a sample control variable strategy, it provides a function to infer sample-specific miRNA sponge interactions. In terms of sample-specific miRNA sponge interactions, it implements three similarity methods to construct sample-sample correlation network.

signifinder is an R package for computing and exploring a compendium of tumor signatures. It allows to compute a variety of signatures coming from public literature, based on gene expression values, and return single-sample (-cell/-spot) scores. Currently, signifinder collects more than 70 distinct signatures, relating to multiple tumors and multiple cancer processes.
RETROFIT is a Bayesian non-negative matrix factorization framework to decompose cell type mixtures in ST data without using external single-cell expression references. RETROFIT outperforms existing reference-based methods in estimating cell type proportions and reconstructing gene expressions in simulations with varying spot size and sample heterogeneity, irrespective of the quality or availability of the single-cell reference. RETROFIT recapitulates known cell-type localization patterns in a Slide-seq dataset of mouse cerebellum without using any single-cell data.
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.
This package implements a variety of functions useful for gene set analysis using rotations to approximate the null distribution. It contributes with the implementation of seven test statistic scores that can be used with different goals and interpretations. Several functions are available to complement the statistical results with graphical representations.
Spatial-eXpression-R (spacexr) is a package for analyzing cell types in spatial transcriptomics data. This implementation is a fork of the spacexr GitHub repo (https://github.com/dmcable/spacexr), adapted to work with Bioconductor objects. The original package implements two statistical methods: RCTD for learning cell types and CSIDE for inferring cell type-specific differential expression. Currently, this fork only implements RCTD, which learns cell type profiles from annotated RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reference data and uses these profiles to identify cell types in spatial transcriptomic pixels while accounting for platform-specific effects. Future releases will include an implementation of CSIDE.
Used to determine which cell types are enriched within gene lists. The package provides tools for testing enrichments within simple gene lists (such as human disease associated genes) and those resulting from differential expression studies. The package does not depend upon any particular Single Cell Transcriptome dataset and user defined datasets can be loaded in and used in the analyses.
