BadRegionFinder is a package for identifying regions with a bad, acceptable and good coverage in sequence alignment data available as bam files. The whole genome may be considered as well as a set of target regions. Various visual and textual types of output are available.

The MicrobiomeExplorer R package is designed to facilitate the analysis and visualization of marker-gene survey feature data. It allows a user to perform and visualize typical microbiome analytical workflows either through the command line or an interactive Shiny application included with the package. In addition to applying common analytical workflows the application enables automated analysis report generation.

Dirichlet-multinomial mixture models can be used to describe variability in microbial metagenomic data. This package is an interface to code originally made available by Holmes, Harris, and Quince, 2012, PLoS ONE 7(2): 1-15, as discussed further in the man page for this package, ?DirichletMultinomial.

This is a probabilistic modelling pipeline for computing per- nucleotide posterior probabilities of modification from the data collected in structure probing experiments. The model supports multiple experimental replicates and empirically corrects coverage- and sequence-dependent biases. The model utilises the measure of a "drop-off rate" for each nucleotide, which is compared between replicates through a log-ratio (LDR). The LDRs between control replicates define a null distribution of variability in drop-off rate observed by chance and LDRs between treatment and control replicates gets compared to this distribution. Resulting empirical p-values (probability of being "drawn" from the null distribution) are used as observations in a Hidden Markov Model with a Beta-Uniform Mixture model used as an emission model. The resulting posterior probabilities indicate the probability of a nucleotide of having being modified in a structure probing experiment.

Simple statistical identification of contaminating sequence features in marker-gene or metagenomics data. Works on any kind of feature derived from environmental sequencing data (e.g. ASVs, OTUs, taxonomic groups, MAGs,...). Requires DNA quantitation data or sequenced negative control samples.

timeOmics is a generic data-driven framework to integrate multi-Omics longitudinal data measured on the same biological samples and select key temporal features with strong associations within the same sample group. The main steps of timeOmics are: 1. Plaform and time-specific normalization and filtering steps; 2. Modelling each biological into one time expression profile; 3. Clustering features with the same expression profile over time; 4. Post-hoc validation step.
