motifbreakR
We introduce motifbreakR, which allows the biologist to judge in the first place whether the sequence surrounding the polymorphism is a good match, and in the second place how much information is gained or lost in one allele of the polymorphism relative to another. MotifbreakR is both flexible and extensible over previous offerings; giving a choice of algorithms for interrogation of genomes with motifs from public sources that users can choose from; these are 1) a weighted-sum probability matrix, 2) log-probabilities, and 3) weighted by relative entropy. MotifbreakR can predict effects for novel or previously described variants in public databases, making it suitable for tasks beyond the scope of its original design. Lastly, it can be used to interrogate any genome curated within Bioconductor (currently there are 32 species, a total of 109 versions).

This package implements functions to analyze multi-omics epigenetic data. Data of fragment type and base type are supported by epiSeeker. It provides functions to retrieve the nearest genes around the peak, annotate genomic region of the peak, statistical methods to estimate the significance of overlap among peak data sets, and motif analysis. It incorporates the GEO database for users to compare their own dataset with those deposited in the database. The comparison can be used to infer cooperative regulation and thus can be used to generate hypotheses. Several visualization functions are implemented to summarize the coverage of the peak experiment, average profile and heatmap of peaks binding to TSS regions, genomic annotation, distance to TSS, overlap of peaks or genes, and the single-base resolution epigenetic data by considering the strand, motif, and additional information.
Integrates various levels of epigenomic information, including ChIP-seq, histone modification, ATAC-seq, and RNA-seq data. Regulatory network analysis uses combinatory approaches to infer regions of significance, such as enhancers. Downstream analysis identifies co-occurrence of epigenomic data at regions of interest. Visualization functions display multi-track genomic views with signal overlays. Please contact <ammawla@ucdavis.edu> for suggestions, feedback, or bug reporting.
The motifStack package is designed for graphic representation of multiple motifs with different similarity scores. It works with both DNA/RNA sequence motif and amino acid sequence motif. In addition, it provides the flexibility for users to customize the graphic parameters such as the font type and symbol colors.
Tools to visualise read coverage from sequencing experiments together with genomic annotations (genes, transcripts, peaks). Introns of long transcripts can be rescaled to a fixed length for better visualisation of exonic read coverage.
