VCFArray
VCFArray extends the DelayedArray to represent VCF data entries as array-like objects with on-disk / remote VCF file as backend. Data entries from VCF files, including info fields, FORMAT fields, and the fixed columns (REF, ALT, QUAL, FILTER) could be converted into VCFArray instances with different dimensions.
README
VCFArray VCFArray is a Bioconductor package that represents VCF files as objects derived from the DelayedArray package and DelayedArray class. It converts data entries from VCF file into a DelayedArray-derived data structure. The backend VCF file could either be saved on-disk locally or remote as online resources. Data entries that could be extracted include the fixed data fields (REF, ALT, QUAL, FILTER), information field (e.g., AA, AF...), and the individual format field (e.g., GT, DP...).…

A set of tools to forge BSgenome data packages. Supersedes the old seed-based tools from the BSgenome software package. This package allows the user to create a BSgenome data package in one function call, simplifying the old seed-based process.
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.
Representing nucleotide modifications in a nucleotide sequence is usually done via special characters from a number of sources. This represents a challenge to work with in R and the Biostrings package. The Modstrings package implements this functionallity for RNA and DNA sequences containing modified nucleotides by translating the character internally in order to work with the infrastructure of the Biostrings package. For this the ModRNAString and ModDNAString classes and derivates and functions to construct and modify these objects despite the encoding issues are implemenented. In addition the conversion from sequences to list like location information (and the reverse operation) is implemented as well.
QLTExperiment defines an S4 class for storing and manipulating summary statistics from QTL mapping experiments in one or more states. It is based on the 'SummarizedExperiment' class and contains functions for creating, merging, and subsetting objects. 'QTLExperiment' also stores experiment metadata and has checks in place to ensure that transformations apply correctly.
Data management of large-scale whole-genome sequencing variant calls with thousands of individuals: genotypic data (e.g., SNVs, indels and structural variation calls) and annotations in SeqArray GDS files are stored in an array-oriented and compressed manner, with efficient data access using the R programming language.
GenomicTuples defines general purpose containers for storing genomic tuples. It aims to provide functionality for tuples of genomic co-ordinates that are analogous to those available for genomic ranges in the GenomicRanges Bioconductor package.
