pipeComp
A simple framework to facilitate the comparison of pipelines involving various steps and parameters. The `pipelineDefinition` class represents pipelines as, minimally, a set of functions consecutively executed on the output of the previous one, and optionally accompanied by step-wise evaluation and aggregation functions. Given such an object, a set of alternative parameters/methods, and benchmark datasets, the `runPipeline` function then proceeds through all combinations arguments, avoiding recomputing the same step twice and compiling evaluations on the fly to avoid storing potentially large intermediate data.

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.
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.
GraphExperiment provides users and developers with an S4 class that extends `SingleCellExperiment` by offering infrastructure to store and retrieve networks (`igraph` objects) representing how features are associated with each other. The class was designed to store networks inferred from high-dimensional quantitative data, including gene coexpression networks (GCNs), gene regulatory networks (GRNs), and co-abundance networks (from proteomics and metabolomics), as well as networks inferred from other types of data (e.g., protein-protein interactions).
Pigengene package provides an efficient way to infer biological signatures from gene expression profiles. The signatures are independent from the underlying platform, e.g., the input can be microarray or RNA Seq data. It can even infer the signatures using data from one platform, and evaluate them on the other. Pigengene identifies the modules (clusters) of highly coexpressed genes using coexpression network analysis, summarizes the biological information of each module in an eigengene, learns a Bayesian network that models the probabilistic dependencies between modules, and builds a decision tree based on the expression of eigengenes.
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.
iSEEfier provides a set of functionality to quickly and intuitively create, inspect, and combine initial configuration objects. These can be conveniently passed in a straightforward manner to the function call to launch iSEE() with the specified configuration. This package currently works seamlessly with the sets of panels provided by the iSEE and iSEEu packages, but can be extended to accommodate the usage of any custom panel (e.g. from iSEEde, iSEEpathways, or any panel developed independently by the user).
