New Software Packages

There are 78 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

  • APL APL is a package developed for computation of Association Plots (AP), a method for visualization and analysis of single cell transcriptomics data. The main focus of APL is the identification of genes characteristic for individual clusters of cells from input data. The package performs correspondence analysis (CA) and allows to identify cluster-specific genes using Association Plots. Additionally, APL computes the cluster-specificity scores for all genes which allows to rank the genes by their specificity for a selected cell cluster of interest.

  • ASURAT ASURAT is a software for single-cell data analysis. Using ASURAT, one can simultaneously perform unsupervised clustering and biological interpretation in terms of cell type, disease, biological process, and signaling pathway activity. Inputting a single-cell RNA-seq data and knowledge-based databases, such as Cell Ontology, Gene Ontology, KEGG, etc., ASURAT transforms gene expression tables into original multivariate tables, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs).

The cellxgenedp package provides an alternative, R-based inteface, allowind data discovery, viewing, and downloading.

  • CNVMetrics The CNVMetrics package calculates similarity metrics to facilitate copy number variant comparison among samples and/or methods. Similarity metrics can be employed to compare CNV profiles of genetically unrelated samples as well as those with a common genetic background. Some metrics are based on the shared amplified/deleted regions while other metrics rely on the level of amplification/deletion. The data type used as input is a plain text file containing the genomic position of the copy number variations, as well as the status and/or the log2 ratio values. Finally, a visualization tool is provided to explore resulting metrics.

  • cogeqc cogeqc aims to facilitate systematic quality checks on standard comparative genomics analyses to help researchers detect issues and select the most suitable parameters for each data set. cogeqc can be used to asses: i. genome assembly quality with BUSCOs; ii. orthogroup inference using a protein domain-based approach and; iii. synteny detection using synteny network properties. There are also data visualization functions to explore QC summary statistics.

  • comapr comapr detects crossover intervals for single gametes from their haplotype states sequences and stores the crossovers in GRanges object. The genetic distances can then be calculated via the mapping functions using estimated crossover rates for maker intervals. Visualisation functions for plotting interval-based genetic map or cumulative genetic distances are implemented, which help reveal the variation of crossovers landscapes across the genome and across individuals.

  • coMethDMR coMethDMR identifies genomic regions associated with continuous phenotypes by optimally leverages covariations among CpGs within predefined genomic regions. Instead of testing all CpGs within a genomic region, coMethDMR carries out an additional step that selects co-methylated sub-regions first without using any outcome information. Next, coMethDMR tests association between methylation within the sub-region and continuous phenotype using a random coefficient mixed effects model, which models both variations between CpG sites within the region and differential methylation simultaneously.

  • CompoundDb CompoundDb provides functionality to create and use (chemical) compound annotation databases from a variety of different sources such as LipidMaps, HMDB, ChEBI or MassBank. The database format allows to store in addition MS/MS spectra along with compound information. The package provides also a backend for Bioconductor’s Spectra package and allows thus to match experimetal MS/MS spectra against MS/MS spectra in the database. Databases can be stored in SQLite format and are thus portable.

  • COTAN Statistical and computational method to analyze the co-expression of gene pairs at single cell level. It provides the foundation for single-cell gene interactome analysis. The basic idea is studying the zero UMI counts’ distribution instead of focusing on positive counts; this is done with a generalized contingency tables framework. COTAN can effectively assess the correlated or anti-correlated expression of gene pairs. It provides a numerical index related to the correlation and an approximate p-value for the associated independence test. COTAN can also evaluate whether single genes are differentially expressed, scoring them with a newly defined global differentiation index. Moreover, this approach provides ways to plot and cluster genes according to their co-expression pattern with other genes, effectively helping the study of gene interactions and becoming a new tool to identify cell-identity marker genes.

  • crisprBase Provides S4 classes for general nucleases, CRISPR nucleases and base editors. Several CRISPR-specific genome arithmetic functions are implemented to help extract genomic coordinates of spacer and protospacer sequences. Commonly-used CRISPR nuclease objects are provided that can be readily used in other packages. Both DNA- and RNA-targeting nucleases are supported.

The available on-target cutting efficiency scoring methods are RuleSet1, Azimuth, DeepHF, DeepCpf1, enPAM+GB, and CRISPRscan. Both the CFD and MIT scoring methods are available for off-target specificity prediction. The package also provides a Lindel-derived score to predict the probability of a gRNA to produce indels inducing a frameshift for the Cas9 nuclease. Note that DeepHF, DeepCpf1 and enPAM+GB are not available on Windows machines.

  • cytoMEM MEM, Marker Enrichment Modeling, automatically generates and displays quantitative labels for cell populations that have been identified from single-cell data. The input for MEM is a dataset that has pre-clustered or pre-gated populations with cells in rows and features in columns. Labels convey a list of measured features and the features’ levels of relative enrichment on each population. MEM can be applied to a wide variety of data types and can compare between MEM labels from flow cytometry, mass cytometry, single cell RNA-seq, and spectral flow cytometry using RMSD.

  • DepInfeR DepInfeR integrates two experimentally accessible input data matrices: the drug sensitivity profiles of cancer cell lines or primary tumors ex-vivo (X), and the drug affinities of a set of proteins (Y), to infer a matrix of molecular protein dependencies of the cancers (ß). DepInfeR deconvolutes the protein inhibition effect on the viability phenotype by using regularized multivariate linear regression. It assigns a “dependence coefficient” to each protein and each sample, and therefore could be used to gain a causal and accurate understanding of functional consequences of genomic aberrations in a heterogeneous disease, as well as to guide the choice of pharmacological intervention for a specific cancer type, sub-type, or an individual patient. For more information, please read out preprint on bioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.01.11.475864.

  • DifferentialRegulation DifferentialRegulation is a method for detecting differentially regulated genes between two groups of samples (e.g., healthy vs. disease, or treated vs. untreated samples), by targeting differences in the balance of spliced and unspliced mRNA abundances, obtained from single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. DifferentialRegulation accounts for the sample-to-sample variability, and embeds multiple samples in a Bayesian hierarchical model. In particular, when reads are compatible with multiple genes or multiple splicing versions of a gene (unspliced spliced or ambiguous), the method allocates these multi-mapping reads to the gene of origin and their splicing version. Parameters are inferred via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques (Metropolis-within-Gibbs).

  • EpiCompare EpiCompare is used to compare and analyse epigenetic datasets for quality control and benchmarking purposes. The package outputs an HTML report consisting of three sections: (1.

  • GBScleanR GBScleanR is a package for quality check, filtering, and error correction of genotype data derived from next generation sequcener (NGS) based genotyping platforms. GBScleanR takes Variant Call Format (VCF) file as input. The main function of this package is estGeno() which estimates the true genotypes of samples from given read counts for genotype markers using a hidden Markov model with incorporating uneven observation ratio of allelic reads. This implementation gives robust genotype estimation even in noisy genotype data usually observed in Genotyping-By-Sequnencing (GBS) and similar methods, e.g. RADseq. The current implementation accepts genotype data of a diploid population at any generation of multi-parental cross, e.g. biparental F2 from inbred parents, biparental F2 from outbred parents, and 8-way recombinant inbred lines (8-way RILs) which can be refered to as MAGIC population.

  • GenomicInteractionNodes The GenomicInteractionNodes package can import interactions from bedpe file and define the interaction nodes, the genomic interaction sites with multiple interaction loops.

  • GenProSeq Generative modeling for protein engineering is key to solving fundamental problems in synthetic biology, medicine, and material science. Machine learning has enabled us to generate useful protein sequences on a variety of scales. Generative models are machine learning methods which seek to model the distribution underlying the data, allowing for the generation of novel samples with similar properties to those on which the model was trained. Generative models of proteins can learn biologically meaningful representations helpful for a variety of downstream tasks. Furthermore, they can learn to generate protein sequences that have not been observed before and to assign higher probability to protein sequences that satisfy desired criteria. In this package, common deep generative models for protein sequences, such as variational autoencoder (VAE), generative adversarial networks (GAN), and autoregressive models are available. In the VAE and GAN, the Word2vec is used for embedding. The transformer encoder is applied to protein sequences for the autoregressive model.

  • ggmanh Manhattan plot and QQ Plot are commonly used to visualize the end result of Genome Wide Association Study. The “ggmanh” package aims to keep the generation of these plots simple while maintaining customizability. Main functions include manhattan_plot, qqunif, and thinPoints.

  • GRaNIE Genetic variants associated with diseases often affect non-coding regions, thus likely having a regulatory role. To understand the effects of genetic variants in these regulatory regions, identifying genes that are modulated by specific regulatory elements (REs) is crucial. The effect of gene regulatory elements, such as enhancers, is often cell-type specific, likely because the combinations of transcription factors (TFs) that are regulating a given enhancer have celltype specific activity. This TF activity can be quantified with existing tools such as diffTF and captures differences in binding of a TF in open chromatin regions. Collectively, this forms a gene regulatory network (GRN) with cell-type and data-specific TF-RE and RE-gene links. Here, we reconstruct such a GRN using bulk RNAseq and open chromatin (e.g., using ATACseq or ChIPseq for open chromatin marks) and optionally TF activity data. Our network contains different types of links, connecting TFs to regulatory elements, the latter of which is connected to genes in the vicinity or within the same chromatin domain (TAD). We use a statistical framework to assign empirical FDRs and weights to all links using a permutation-based approach.

  • hermes Provides classes and functions for quality control, filtering, normalization and differential expression analysis of pre-processed RNA-seq data.

  • OGRE OGRE calculates overlap between user defined genomic region datasets. Any regions can be supplied i.e. genes, SNPs, or reads from sequencing experiments. Key numbers help analyse the extend of overlaps which can also be visualized at a genomic level.

  • omicsViewer omicsViewer visualizes ExpressionSet (or SummarizedExperiment) in an interactive way. The omicsViewer has a separate back- and front-end. In the back-end, users need to prepare an ExpressionSet that contains all the necessary information for the downstream data interpretation. Some extra requirements on the headers of phenotype data or feature data are imposed so that the provided information can be clearly recognized by the front-end, at the same time, keep a minimum modification on the existing ExpressionSet object. The pure dependency on R/Bioconductor guarantees maximum flexibility in the statistical analysis in the back-end. Once the ExpressionSet is prepared, it can be visualized using the front-end, implemented by shiny and plotly. Both features and samples could be selected from (data) tables or graphs (scatter plot/heatmap). Different types of analyses, such as enrichment analysis (using Bioconductor package fgsea or fisher’s exact test) and STRING network analysis, will be performed on the fly and the results are visualized simultaneously. When a subset of samples and a phenotype variable is selected, a significance test on means (t-test or ranked based test; when phenotype variable is quantitative) or test of independence (chi-square or fisher’s exact test; when phenotype data is categorical) will be performed to test the association between the phenotype of interest with the selected samples. Additionally, other analyses can be easily added as extra shiny modules. Therefore, omicsViewer will greatly facilitate data exploration, many different hypotheses can be explored in a short time without the need for knowledge of R. In addition, the resulting data could be easily shared using a shiny server. Otherwise, a standalone version of omicsViewer together with designated omics data could be easily created by integrating it with portable R, which can be shared with collaborators or submitted as supplementary data together with a manuscript.

  • SPOTlight SPOTlightprovides a method to deconvolute spatial transcriptomics spots using a seeded NMF approach along with visualization tools to assess the results. Spatially resolved gene expression profiles are key to understand tissue organization and function. However, novel spatial transcriptomics (ST) profiling techniques lack single-cell resolution and require a combination with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) information to deconvolute the spatially indexed datasets. Leveraging the strengths of both data types, we developed SPOTlight, a computational tool that enables the integration of ST with scRNA-seq data to infer the location of cell types and states within a complex tissue. SPOTlight is centered around a seeded non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) regression, initialized using cell-type marker genes and non-negative least squares (NNLS) to subsequently deconvolute ST capture locations (spots).

  • STdeconvolve STdeconvolve as an unsupervised, reference-free approach to infer latent cell-type proportions and transcriptional profiles within multi-cellular spatially-resolved pixels from spatial transcriptomics (ST) datasets. STdeconvolve builds on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a generative statistical model commonly used in natural language processing for discovering latent topics in collections of documents. In the context of natural language processing, given a count matrix of words in documents, LDA infers the distribution of words for each topic and the distribution of topics in each document. In the context of ST data, given a count matrix of gene expression in multi-cellular ST pixels, STdeconvolve applies LDA to infer the putative transcriptional profile for each cell-type and the proportional representation of each cell-type in each multi-cellular ST pixel.

  • TEKRABber TEKRABber is made to provide a user-friendly pipeline for comparing orthologs and transposable elements (TEs) between two species. It considers the orthology confidence between two species from BioMart to normalize expression counts and detect differentially expressed orthologs/TEs. Then it provides one to one correlation analysis for desired orthologs and TEs. There is also an app function to have a first insight on the result. Users can prepare orthologs/TEs RNA-seq expression data by their own preference to run TEKRABber following the data structure mentioned in the vignettes.

  • terraTCGAdata Leverage the existing open access TCGA data on Terra with well-established Bioconductor infrastructure. Make use of the Terra data model without learning its complexities. With a few functions, you can copy / download and generate a MultiAssayExperiment from the TCGA example workspaces provided by Terra.

  • tomoseqr tomoseqr is an R package for analyzing Tomo-seq data. Tomo-seq is a genome-wide RNA tomography method that combines combining high-throughput RNA sequencing with cryosectioning for spatially resolved transcriptomics. tomoseqr reconstructs 3D expression patterns from tomo-seq data and visualizes the reconstructed 3D expression patterns.

  • TREG RNA abundance and cell size parameters could improve RNA-seq deconvolution algorithms to more accurately estimate cell type proportions given the different cell type transcription activity levels. A Total RNA Expression Gene (TREG) can facilitate estimating total RNA content using single molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (smFISH). We developed a data-driven approach using a measure of expression invariance to find candidate TREGs in postmortem human brain single nucleus RNA-seq. This R package implements the method for identifying candidate TREGs from snRNA-seq data.

  • UCell UCell is a package for evaluating gene signatures in single-cell datasets. UCell signature scores, based on the Mann-Whitney U statistic, are robust to dataset size and heterogeneity, and their calculation demands less computing time and memory than other available methods, enabling the processing of large datasets in a few minutes even on machines with limited computing power. UCell can be applied to any single-cell data matrix, and includes functions to directly interact with SingleCellExperiment and Seurat objects.

  • updateObject A set of tools built around updateObject() to work with old serialized S4 instances. The package is primarily useful to package maintainers who want to update the serialized S4 instances included in their package. This is still work-in-progress.

  • xcore xcore is an R package for transcription factor activity modeling based on known molecular signatures and user’s gene expression data. Accompanying xcoredata package provides a collection of molecular signatures, constructed from publicly available ChiP-seq experiments. xcore use ridge regression to model changes in expression as a linear combination of molecular signatures and find their unknown activities. Obtained, estimates can be further tested for significance to select molecular signatures with the highest predicted effect on the observed expression changes.

ClassifyR

                    Changes in version 3.0.0

  • Now supports survival models and their evaluation, in addition to existing classification functionality.

  • Cross-validation no longer requires specific annotations like data set name and classifier name. Now, the user can specify any characteristics they want and use these as variables to group by or change line appearances. Also, characteristics like feature selection name and classifier name are automatically filled in from an internal table.

  • Ease of use greatly inproved by crossValidate function which allows specification of classifiers by a single keyword. Previously, parameter objects such as SelectParams and TrainParams had to be explicitly specified, making it challenging for users not familar with S4 object-oriented programming.

  • Basic multi-omics data integration functionality available via crossValidate which allows combination of different tables. Pre-validation and PCA dimensionality techniques provide a fair way to compare high-dimensional omics data with low-dimensional clinical data. Also, it is possible to simply concatenate all data tables.

  • Model-agnostic variable importance calculated by training when leaving out one selected variable at a time. Turned off by default as it substantially increases run time. See doImportance parameter of ModellingParams for more details.

  • Parameters specifying the cross-validation procedure and data modelling formalised as CrossValParams and ModellingParams classes.

  • Feature selection can now be done either based a on resubstitution metric (i.e. train and test on the training data) or a cross-validation metric (i.e. split the training data into training and testing partitions to tune the selected features). all feature selection functions have been converted into feature ranking functions, because the selection procedure is a feature of cross-validation.

  • All function and class documentation coverted from manually written Rd files to Roxygen format.

  • Human Reference Interactome (binary experimental PPI) included in bundled data for pairs-based classification. See ?HuRI for more details.

  • Performance plots can now do either box plots or violin plots. Box plot remains the default style.

Changes

  • Changed example mat and net to toy examples.

  • Changed test data to toy data.

                       Changes in version 2.1

Changes

  • likelihood param is deprecated, from now on, weights (positive or negative) should go to the mor column of network. Methods will still run if likelihood is specified, however they will be set to 1.

  • Added minsize argument to all methods, set to 5 by default. Sources containing less than this value of targets in the input mat will be removed from the calculations.

  • Changed default behavior of the decouple function. Now if no methods are specified in the statistics argument, the function will only run the top performers in our benchmark (mlm, ulm and wsum). To run all methods like before, set statistics to ‘all’. Moreover, the argument consensus_stats has been added to filter statistics for the calculation of the consensus score. By default it only uses mlm, ulm and norm_wsum, or if statistics==’all’ all methods returned after running decouple.

  • viper method:

  • Now properly handles weights in mor by normalizing them to -1 and +1.

  • ulm/mlm/udt/mdt methods:

  • Changed how they processed the input network. Before the model matrix only contained the intersection of features between mat and network’s targets, now it incorporates all features coming from mat ensuring a more robust prediction. Prediction values may change slightly from older versions.

  • Deprecated sparse argument.

  • ora method:

  • Now takes top 5% features as default input instead of 300 up and bottom features.

  • Added seed to randomly break ties

  • consensus method:

  • No longer based on RobustRankAggreg. Now the consensus score is the mean of the activities obtained after a double tailed z-score transformation.

  • Discarded filter_regulons function.

  • Moved major dependencies to Suggest to reduce the number of dependencies needed.

  • Updated README by adding:

  • Kinase inference example
  • Graphical abstract
  • Manuscript and citation

  • New vignette style

  • Updated documentation for all methods.

New features

  • Added wrappers to easily query Omnipath, one of the largest data-bases collecting prior-knowledge resources. Added these functions:

  • show_resources: shows available resources inside Omnipath.
  • get_resource: gets any resource from Omnipath.
  • get_dorothea: gets the DoRothEA gene regulatory network for transcription factor (TF) activity estimation. Note: this version is slightly different from the one in the package dorothea since it contains new edges and TFs and also weights the interactions by confidence levels.

  • get_progeny: gets the PROGENy model for pathway activity estimation.

  • Added show_methods function, it shows how many statistics are currently available.

  • Added check_corr function, it shows how correlated regulators in a network are. It can be used to check for co-linearity for mlm and mdt.

  • Added new error for mlm when co-variables are co-linear (regulators are too correlated to fit a model).

Bugfixes

  • wmean and wsum now return the correct empirical p-values.

  • ulm, mlm, mdt and udt now accept matrices with one column as input.

  • Results from ulm and mlm now correctly return un-grouped.

  • Methods correctly run when mat has no column names.

GeneTonic

                    Changes in version 2.0.0

New features

  • GeneTonic now offers the possibility to upload a GeneTonicList at runtime. This makes it possible to use the app as a server-like dashboard, which runs by default on no dataset provided, and populates its components upon successfully providing the data as expected
  • The GeneSpector functionality in the Welcome panel provides a means to explore any gene in the expression set, coloring and grouping by any experimental covariate of interest
  • It is possible to enter a set of genes and genesets in the Bookmarks panel, and these can be doubled checked against the available features of the current GeneTonicList - this, combined to the upload functionality, makes it possible to easily compare different gtl objects
  • The GeneTonic app has a button to export the currently provided dataset - regardless of the input format - as a GeneTonicList. This is especially useful if one is providing the individual components (dds, res_de, res_enrich, annotation_obj) and would like to obtain the correct serialized object
  • gs_upset adds the possibility to represent the results of enrichment analyses as upset plots, with the option to decorate them with DE-related information

Other notes

  • The manuscript about GeneTonic is now published on BMC Bioinformatics at https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-021-04461-5

  • makeTxDbFromGFF() and makeTxDbFromGRanges() now recognize and import features of type “gene_segment”, “pseudogenic_gene_segment”, “antisense_RNA”, “three_prime_overlapping_ncrna”, or “vault_RNA”, as transcripts. Note that, according to the Sequence Ontology, the “gene_segment” and “pseudogenic_gene_segment” terms are NOT offsprings of the “transcript” term via the is_a relationship but we still treat them as if they were because that’s what Ensembl does in their GFF3 files!

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • Add warning about FeatureDb-related functionalities no longer being actively maintained.

    • getRAVInfo and getStudyInfo: two new functions to extract basic metadata for RAVs and studies, respectively.
    • We characterize RAVs that are harder to interpret with the currently available information associated with them (more detail can be found bit.ly/RAVmodel_characterization). For the following functions, any output including those RAVs will have a defulat message: meshTable, drawWordcloud, heatmapTable, validatedSignatures. You can snooze this by setting filterMessage = FALSE

  • check_small_p_val records which SNPs were imputed in a more robust way, by recording which SNPs met the criteria before making the changes (as opposed to inferred this info from which columns are 0 after making the changes). This function now only handles non-negative p-values, so that rows with negative p-values can be recorded/reported separately in the check_range_p_val step.
  • check_small_p_val now reports the number of SNPs <= 5e-324 to console/logs.
  • Unit tests have been added for both check_range_p_val and check_small_p_val.

nnSVG

             Changes in version 0.99.0 (2022-03-02)
  • version for submission to Bioconductor

NormalyzerDE

                   Changes in version 1.13.2
  • Fixed leastRepCount setting of zero for statistics report

nullranges

                    Changes in version 1.1.4
  • Needed to drop features that have 0 width after trimming in bootRanges.

  • Made the validity test for bootRanges only look for iter.

                      Changes in version 1.1.1
  • Change to factor-Rle output for bootRanges to simplify the downstream plyranges.

NxtIRFcore

             Changes in version 1.1.1 (2022-01-11)

  • Bugfix for NxtSE constructor.

  • Bugfix for Consistency filter: previously an “average” filter was used, such that upstream / downstream filter triggers counted for 0.5, whereas it added 1.0 if both up/downstream filters were triggered. From 1.1.1 onwards, 1.0 is added when either upstream or downstream consistency filter is triggered.

  • Added two new annotation-based filters: Terminus and ExclusiveMXE. See ?NxtFilter for details

  • Annotated retained introns RI are defined by any intron that is completely overlapped by a single exon of any transcript. They are calculated as binary events, i.e. as PSI between RI and specific spliced intron, and do not consider overlapping splice events (unlike IR events, which are calculated for all other constitutive introns)

                      Changes in version 1.1.0

  • Initial devel release for Bioconductor 3.15

OGRE

  • Add “Bad credentials” check for piggyback.
  • Add use_old as an optional arg so I can switch to more recent versions of babelgene::orthologs_df if need be.
  • Use updated built-in babelgene::orthologs_df by default.
  • Throw error if trying to map between two non-human species.
  • Filter support==NA mappings by default, not but support>=2 like babelgene does by default (even when babelgene::orthologs(min_support = 1)).
  • See here for discussion of discrepancies with babelgene maintainer: https://github.com/igordot/babelgene/issues/2

NEW FEATURES

  • Removed aggregate_rows_delayedarray as it wasn’t being used and was far less efficient than the other methods anyway (which are also compatible with DelayedArray matrices anyway). * New unit tests:
  • load_data
  • aggregate_mapped_genes(method=’stat’)

  • sparsity

                      Changes in version 1.1.4

                      Changes in version 1.1.2

BUG FIXES

  • convert_orthologs(method=”babelgene”) now gets gene mappings from all_genes_babelgene instead babelgene::orthologs (which doesn’t seem to work very well, despite being dedicated for this purpose).
  • map_species:
  • Avoid running this function redundantly when nested in multiple layers of other functions.
  • common_species_names_dict now return “scientific_name” by default, instead of “taxonomy_id”
  • Match map_species method to whatever method is being used in the function it’s wrapped within, to avoid dropping species due to naming differences.
  • Add “id” column (e.g. “celegans”) to all org databases to enhance their searchability.
  • Add map_species_check_args.
  • Ensure proper method-specific output_format when passing species to other functions.

NEW FEATURES

  • plot_orthotree: Automated plotting of phylogenetic trees with 1:1 ortholog report annotations. Includes several subfunctions:
  • prepare_tree (exported): Read, prune and standardise a phylogenetic tree.
  • gather_images (internal): More robust way to find and import valid phylopic silhouettes. Will make PR requests to rphylopic and ggimage/ggtree to include this functionality.
  • Added unit tests for report_orthologs, especially when method=”babelgene”.
  • GitHub Actions:
  • Merge both GHA workflows into one, as implemented in templateR.
  • Added citation info to README.

  • Save all_genes_babelgene ortholog data to orthogene-specific cache instead of tempdir to avoid re-downloading every R session.

                      Changes in version 1.1.1

                   Changes in version 2.22.0

Other notes

  • get_annotation_orgdb() gains an additional argument, key_for_genenames, which defaults to “SYMBOL”. This should not change the behavior of the function, if not specified, but accommodates for the use of annotation packages where the information has been encoded differently (e.g. org.Sc.sgd.db where the info is contained in the “ORF” column)

TargetSearch

                   Changes in version 1.52.0

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Deprecate parameter ‘libId’ and replace it with ‘libID’ The parameter libId conflicts with the method libId, and in other functions we already use a variable libID that correspond with the library identifier. Therefore, we replace it for consistency. This change affects the functions plotRIdev, plotSpectra and

BUG FIXES

  • plotRIdev: use near equality for comparison. The function compares the selective or top masses against the columns of the intensity matrix. However, their lengths are variable, so the for if condition threw a warning if the lengths didn’t match.

  • Refactor functions binsearch and find_peaks. Minor optimization to the function binsearch in which the starting RT scan is found directly. This will reduce a couple of CPU cycles.

  • Extra CDF integrity checks. Check that the length of the variables are all greater than zero and replace logical OR operator for its longer form.

                     Changes in version 1.50.1

BUG FIXES

  • Fixes the gcc warning produced by passing a pointer and with an incorrect size to the function swapb. This went undiscovered for years because the code is only executed in big-endian machines.

TBSignatureProfiler

  • Fixed a bug in the singscore algorithm called from runTBsigProfiler() that would not allow for the scoring of user-provided signatures.

Minor Changes

  • Reorganized code for OriginalModel.R for clarity.
  • Fixed the TB_hiv data to remove unnecessary factor level of Disease metadata.
  • Added 4 new signatures (Tabone_OD_11/TB12, Tabone_RES_25/EarlyRESP-TB25, Tabone_RES_27/TREAT-TB27, Long_RES_10)
  • Updated the website interface
  • Changed HGNChelper installation to be checked during profiling if update_genes = TRUE
  • Reorganized code in mkAssay() for clarity. The output_name argument is now appended to all output assays, whereas previously it was only appended to the log of the input assay.
  • Fixed the row numbers of existing sigAnnotData and common_sigAnnotData objects, and added code to update them after new signatures are added.

TCGAutils

                   Changes in version 1.16.0

New features

  • The UUIDhistory function allows users to map old UUIDs to new UUIDs according to the latest data release for UUIDs that were affected and no longer query-able.
  • The slides argument has been added to the filenameToBarcode function for translating slide file names into barcodes. Currently, the API returns all barcodes of the associated case ID.
  • Add sections in the vignette regarding GDC Data Updates and UUID history lookup

Minor changes and bug fixes

  • Update examples in package to new GDC Data Release, see vignette.
  • Use AnnotationHub to download chain file in main vignette.
  • Slide file names now resolve to a single TCGA barcode in filenameToBarcode (Thanks @hermidalc)
  • Improved error messages and documentation for makeGRangesListFromExonFiles

TFEA.ChIP

                   Changes in version 1.15.2

New ChIP-Gene databases available

  • Using ReMap2022 collections for human and mouse.

  • Adding cell specific regulatory regions predicted with ABC-Enhancer-Gene-Prediction (doi:10.1038/s41588-019-0538-0).

New Features

  • New database format (older databases are still compatible). The format consist of a list containing two elements:
    • Gene Keys: vector of gene IDs
    • ChIP Targets: list of vectors, one per ChIP-seq experiment, containing the putative targets assigned. Each target is coded as its position in the vector ‘Gene Keys’.
  • Database generation has been streamlined by joining together the functions GR2tfbs_db() and makeTFBSmatrix() into one, makeChIPGeneDB().

New default database

  • The TF-Gene database included with TFEA.ChIP was built using ReMap’s ChIP-seq collection (v. 2022) and GeneHancer’s Double Elite regulatory regions (v. 4.8). Because of memory limits, the internal database included in TFEA.ChIP can only store a fraction of the 8000+ ChIP-seq experiments in the colection. We selected the 926 ChIP-seq experiments done in ENCODE Project’s Common Cell Types. To download the full database, as well as other ready-to-use databases generated for TFEA.ChIP, visit: https://github.com/LauraPS1/TFEA.ChIP_downloads

  • Update tricycle citation.

tximeta

                   Changes in version 1.14.0

  • Allow GTF specification in linkedTxome to be a serialized GRanges file (a file path to a .rda or .RData file). This bypasses some apparent issue where makeTxDbFromGFF fails while makeTxDbFromGRanges works.

  • Up to GENCODE 40 (H.s.), M29 (M.m), and Ensembl 106

  • Signatures cannot be larger than maxRank parameter.

  • Do not rank more genes (maxRank) than there are in the input matrix.

universalmotif

                   Changes in version 1.14.0

NEW FEATURES

  • enrich_motifs(mode, pseudocount): Choose whether to count motif hits once per sequence, and whether to add a pseudocount for P-value calculation.

  • New function, meme_alph(): Create MEME custom alphabet definition files.

  • merge_similar(return.clusters): Return the clusters without merging.

  • convert_motifs(): MotifDb-MotifList now available as an output format.

MINOR CHANGES

  • enrich_motifs(): RC argument now defaults to TRUE, increased max significance values, no.overlaps now defaults to TRUE. Additional columns showing the motif consensus sequence and percent of sequences with hits are now included.

  • scan_sequences(RC): Only print a warning if RC=TRUE for non-DNA/RNA motifs.

  • Reduced the size of the message when a pseudocount is added to motifs.

                     Changes in version 1.12.4

BUG FIXES

  • convert_motifs(): Properly handle TFBSTools class motifs with ‘’ as their strand. This was achieved by making the universalmotif object creator tolerant to using ‘’ as a user input. Thanks to David Oliver for the bug report (#22).

                     Changes in version 1.12.3

BUG FIXES

  • scan_sequences(): Previously this function did not account for the fact that duplicate sequence names are allowed within XStringSet objects. To better keep track of which sequence hits are associated with, an additional sequence.i column has been added which keeps track of the sequence number. This change also fixes a knock-on issue with enrich_motifs(), where sequences with duplicate names did not contribute to the count of sequences containing hits. Thanks to Alexandre Blais for mentioning this issue.

                     Changes in version 1.12.2

BUG FIXES

  • shuffle_sequences(…, method=”markov”): Previously the returning sequences were longer by 1.

                     Changes in version 1.12.1

BUG FIXES

  • DNA ambiguity letters can be used with create_motif() when alphabet=”DNA” is specified. Previously ambiguity letters only worked when alphabet was not specified.

  • counts_shifts and counts_proportions now have a “typecast” argument, allowing use of memory-efficient matrix types.

xcms

                   Changes in version 3.17.6

  • Rewrite code to subset features and chromatographic peaks. This results in a perfomance improvement for filterFile and similar functions.

  • Add parameter expandMz to featureChromatograms (https://github.com/sneumann/xcms/issues/612).

                     Changes in version 3.17.5

  • Change the way the m/z value for a chromatographic peak is determined by centWave: if a ROI contains more than one peak for one scan (spectrum) an intensity-weighted m/z is reported for that scan. The m/z of the chromatographic peak is then calculated based on these reported m/z values for each scan (spectrum). In the original version the mean m/z for a scan was reported instead. As a result, m/z values of chromatographic peaks are now slightly different but are expected to be more accurate. See https://github.com/sneumann/xcms/issues/590 for more details.

                     Changes in version 3.17.4

  • Add transformIntensity method.

  • Fix bug in feature grouping by EIC correlation that would return a non-symmetric similarity matrix.

  • Fix error message from issue 584.

zellkonverter

                    Changes in version 1.6.0

Major changes

  • Added support for multiple basilisk environments with different anndata versions. Users can now specify the environment to use with options in readH5AD() and writeH5AD(). To faciliate this some exported objects where converted to functions but this should only effect developers.

  • Updated the default environment to use anndata v0.8.0. This is a major update and files written with v0.8.0 cannot be read by previous anndata versions. This was the motivation for supporting multiple environments and users can select the previous environment with anndata v0.7.6 if compatibility is required.

  • Standardise naming in AnnData2SCE(). Column names of data frames and names of list items will now be modified to match R conventions (according to make.names()). When this happens a warning will be issued listing the modifications. This makes sure than everything in the created SingleCellExperiment is accessible.

Minor changes

  • Allow data.frame’s stored in varm to be converted in SCE2AnnData()

  • Minor updates to the vignette and other documentation.

  • Updates to tests to match the changes above.

spatialLIBD

                   Changes in version 1.7.19

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Documentation of the layer-level data panel at run_app() has been significantly increased. You can now also visualize more than 2 reduced dimensions computed on the pseudo-bulk level data (layer-level for the Maynard et al, Nature Neurosci, 2021 data).
  • Users can now control the font and point size on the reduced dimension plots, as well as the overall font size on the model boxplots.

  • Image edit scenarios you might be interested in for having a uniform color background image are now documented; for example if you want a white or black background, or actually any valid R color name or color HEX value.

                     Changes in version 1.7.18

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • run_app() now offers the option to chose any of the paletteer::paletteer_d color palettes for discrete variables.
  • Polychrome has been replaced as a dependency by paletteer. Note that Polychrome::palette36 is still the default.

  • run_app() now looks for columns that end with ‘_colors’ in their name which can be used to pre-specify colors for any companion variables. For example if you have spe$my_groups and spe$my_groups_colors then the second one can specify the colors that will be used for visualizing spe$my_groups. This makes specifying default colors more flexible than before, and the user is still free to change them if necessary.

                     Changes in version 1.7.17

BUG FIXES

  • Fix bugs in layer_boxplot() where it was too specific to the Maynard et al 2021 data. We have made it more flexible now.

  • Made the y-axis space more dynamic in gene_set_enrichment_plot() and layer_matrix_plot().

                     Changes in version 1.7.16

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed a bug in sig_genes_extract() when there’s only one set of t-statistics or F statistics to extract.

                     Changes in version 1.7.12

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • The visualization functions vis_*() of SpatialLIBD in this version match the Bioconductor 3.15 version of SpatialExperiment. Note that if you used SpatialExperiment::read10xVisium(), the names of the spatial coordinates changed at https://github.com/drighelli/SpatialExperiment/commit/6710fe8b0a7919191ecce989bb6831647385ef5f and thus you might need to switch them back if you created your SpatialExperiment object before this change. You can do so with spatialCoordsNames(spe) <- rev(spatialCoordsNames(spe)). read10xVisiumWrapper() uses SpatialExperiment::read10xVisium() internally, so this change on SpatialExperiment would then also affect you.

                     Changes in version 1.7.11

NEW FEATURES

  • Now layer_stat_cor() has the top_n argument which can be used for subsetting the marker genes prior to computing the correlation as part of the spatial registration process.

                     Changes in version 1.7.10

NEW FEATURES

  • Added the add_key() function to reduce code duplication and resolve https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/31.

                      Changes in version 1.7.9

NEW FEATURES

  • This version is now compatible with the bioc-devel version of SpatialExperiment where spatialData() was deprecated. Details at https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/pull/29/files.

                      Changes in version 1.7.7

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed a bug where the using the left-mouse click was not working for annotating individual spots under the “gene (interactive)” tab.

                      Changes in version 1.7.6

NEW FEATURES

  • vis_gene_p(), vis_clus_p() and all related functions now have an argument point_size which lets you control how big the points are plotted. This can be useful for visualization purposes.
  • The shiny app now has an input controlling the point size. If you increase it to say 5, then if you zoom in the clusters (interactive) panel, you can see larger spots when zooming in.

  • These features are related to https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/28 although the spot diameter is still not the true spot diameter. However, now you have more flexibility for visualizing the spots.

                      Changes in version 1.7.5

NEW FEATURES

  • Expanded the Using spatialLIBD with 10x Genomics public datasets vignette to show how you can deploy your web application. See https://libd.shinyapps.io/spatialLIBD_Human_Lymph_Node_10x/ for the live example.

                      Changes in version 1.7.4

BUG FIXES

  • vis_gene() and vis_grid_gene() now support geneids that are found in the rownames(spe). This makese these functions more flexible.

  • vis_grid_gene() and vis_grid_clus() now have the sample_order argument which gives you more control in case you want to plot a subset of samples. This should also reduced the memory required as discovered at https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialDLPFC/issues/45.

                      Changes in version 1.7.3

NEW FEATURES

  • Added support for more than one background picture per sample. This was done through the new argument image_id. Resolves https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/25.
  • Added options for side by side visualization of the background image and the clusters or gene expression values in the static versions. Resolves https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/19.
  • Allow changing the transparency level of the spots with the alpha argument. Resolves https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/20.
  • Add support for image manipulation with the magick package. Adds functions img_edit(), img_update() and img_update_all() as well as new features on the web application. Resolves https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/21.
  • Added support for more control over the gene color scale and in the web application also added support for reversing the order of the scale. Resolves https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/22 and https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/23.
  • Added export_cluster() and import_cluster() to help export/import clustering results instead of having to save large spe objects when exploring different clustering methods.

  • Added locate_images() and add_images() for adding non-standard images to a spe object.

                      Changes in version 1.7.2

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed an issue introduced by newer versions of shiny. This version of spatialLIBD works with shiny version 1.7.1, though it’s likely backwards compatible. Resolves https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/issues/24.

  • Fix an issue where as.data.frame(colData(spe)) uses check.names = TRUE by default and then changes the column names unintentionally.
