SingleCellExperiment

The LoomExperiment package provide a means to easily convert the Bioconductor "Experiment" classes to loom files and vice versa.

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

The HDF5Array package is an HDF5 backend for DelayedArray objects. It implements the HDF5Array, H5SparseMatrix, H5ADMatrix, and TENxMatrix classes, 4 convenient and memory-efficient array-like containers for representing and manipulating either: (1) a conventional (a.k.a. dense) HDF5 dataset, (2) an HDF5 sparse matrix (stored in CSR/CSC/Yale format), (3) the central matrix of an h5ad file (or any matrix in the /layers group), or (4) a 10x Genomics sparse matrix. All these containers are DelayedArray extensions and thus support all operations (delayed or block-processed) supported by DelayedArray objects.

Defines an S4 class for storing data from spatial -omics experiments. The class extends SingleCellExperiment to support storage and retrieval of additional information from spot-based and molecule-based platforms, including spatial coordinates, images, and image metadata. A specialized constructor function is included for data from the 10x Genomics Visium platform.

'OSTA.data' is a companion package for the "Orchestrating Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis" (OSTA) with Bioconductor online book. Throughout OSTA, we rely on a set of publicly available datasets that cover different sequencing- and imaging-based platforms, such as Visium, Visium HD, Xenium (10x Genomics) and CosMx (NanoString). In addition, we rely on scRNA-seq (Chromium) data for tasks, e.g., spot deconvolution and label transfer (i.e., supervised clustering). These data been deposited in an Open Storage Framework (OSF) repository, and can be queried and downloaded using functions from the 'osfr' package. For convenience, we have implemented 'OSTA.data' to query and retrieve data from our OSF node, and cache retrieved Zip archives using 'BiocFileCache'.

Defines a S4 class that is based on SingleCellExperiment. In addition to the usual gene layer the object can also store data for immune genes such as HLAs, Igs and KIRs at allele and functional level. The package is part of a workflow named single-cell ImmunoGenomic Diversity (scIGD), that firstly incorporates allele-aware quantification data for immune genes. This new data can then be used with the here implemented data structure and functionalities for further data handling and data analysis.
