standR
standR is an user-friendly R package providing functions to assist conducting good-practice analysis of Nanostring's GeoMX DSP data. All functions in the package are built based on the SpatialExperiment object, allowing integration into various spatial transcriptomics-related packages from Bioconductor. standR allows data inspection, quality control, normalization, batch correction and evaluation with informative visualizations.

Crumblr enables analysis of count ratio data using precision weighted linear (mixed) models. It uses an asymptotic normal approximation of the variance following the centered log ration transform (CLR) that is widely used in compositional data analysis. Crumblr provides a fast, flexible alternative to GLMs and GLMM's while retaining high power and controlling the false positive rate.
Differential expression analysis of sequence count data. Implements a range of statistical methodology based on the negative binomial distributions, including empirical Bayes estimation, exact tests, generalized linear models, quasi-likelihood, and gene set enrichment. Can perform differential analyses of any type of omics data that produces read counts, including RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Bisulfite-seq, SAGE, CAGE, metabolomics, or proteomics spectral counts. RNA-seq analyses can be conducted at the gene or isoform level, and tests can be conducted for differential exon or transcript usage.
Implements R bindings to C++ code for analyzing single-cell (expression) data, mostly from various libscran libraries. Each function performs an individual step in the single-cell analysis workflow, ranging from quality control to clustering and marker detection. Additional wrappers are provided for easy construction of end-to-end workflows involving Bioconductor objects like SingleCellExperiments.
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.
The tidySummarizedExperiment package provides a set of tools for creating and manipulating tidy data representations of SummarizedExperiment objects. SummarizedExperiment is a widely used data structure in bioinformatics for storing high-throughput genomic data, such as gene expression or DNA sequencing data. The tidySummarizedExperiment package introduces a tidy framework for working with SummarizedExperiment objects. It allows users to convert their data into a tidy format, where each observation is a row and each variable is a column. This tidy representation simplifies data manipulation, integration with other tidyverse packages, and enables seamless integration with the broader ecosystem of tidy tools for data analysis.
Provides access to a copy of the Human Cell Atlas, but with harmonised metadata. This allows for uniform querying across numerous datasets within the Atlas using common fields such as cell type, tissue type, and patient ethnicity. Usage involves first querying the metadata table for cells of interest, and then downloading the corresponding cells into a SingleCellExperiment object.
