RedeR

This package uses bayesian network learning to detect relationships between Gene Modules detected by WGCNA and immune cell signatures defined by xCell. It is a hypothesis generating tool.

MIRit is an R package that provides several methods for investigating the relationships between miRNAs and genes in different biological conditions. In particular, MIRit allows to explore the functions of dysregulated miRNAs, and makes it possible to identify miRNA-gene regulatory axes that control biological pathways, thus enabling the users to unveil the complexity of miRNA biology. MIRit is an all-in-one framework that aims to help researchers in all the central aspects of an integrative miRNA-mRNA analyses, from differential expression analysis to network characterization.

syntenet can be used to infer synteny networks from whole-genome protein sequences and analyze them. Anchor pairs are detected with the MCScanX algorithm, which was ported to this package with the Rcpp framework for R and C++ integration. Anchor pairs from synteny analyses are treated as an undirected unweighted graph (i.e., a synteny network), and users can perform: i. network clustering; ii. phylogenomic profiling (by identifying which species contain which clusters) and; iii. microsynteny-based phylogeny reconstruction with maximum likelihood.

A package for inferring, comparing, and visualizing gene networks from single-cell RNA sequencing data. It integrates multiple methods (GENIE3, GRNBoost2, ZILGM, PCzinb, and JRF) for robust network inference, supports consensus building across methods or datasets, and provides tools for evaluating regulatory structure and community similarity. GRNBoost2 requires Python package 'arboreto' which can be installed using init_py(install_missing = TRUE). This package includes adapted functions from ZILGM (Park et al., 2021), JRF (Petralia et al., 2015), and learn2count (Nguyen et al. 2023) packages with proper attribution under GPL-2 license.

The package implements a series of highly efficient tools to calculate functional properties of networks based on guilt by association methods.

BioNERO aims to integrate all aspects of biological network inference in a single package, including data preprocessing, exploratory analyses, network inference, and analyses for biological interpretations. BioNERO can be used to infer gene coexpression networks (GCNs) and gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data. Additionally, it can be used to explore topological properties of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. GCN inference relies on the popular WGCNA algorithm. GRN inference is based on the "wisdom of the crowds" principle, which consists in inferring GRNs with multiple algorithms (here, CLR, GENIE3 and ARACNE) and calculating the average rank for each interaction pair. As all steps of network analyses are included in this package, BioNERO makes users avoid having to learn the syntaxes of several packages and how to communicate between them. Finally, users can also identify consensus modules across independent expression sets and calculate intra and interspecies module preservation statistics between different networks.
