  2. Follow the instructions at Installing Bioconductor.

New Software Packages

There are 98 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

  • basilisk Installs a self-contained Python instance that is managed by the R installation. This aims to provide a consistent Python version that can be used reliably by Bioconductor packages. Module versions are also controlled to guarantee consistent behavior on different user systems.

  • basilisk.utils Implements utilities for installation of the basilisk package, primarily to avoid re-writing the same R code in both the configure script (for centrally administered R installations) and in the lazy installation mechanism (for distributed binaries). It is highly unlikely that developers - or, heaven forbid, end-users! - will need to interact with this package directly; they should be using the basilisk package instead.

  • BgeeCall Reference intergenic regions are generated by the Bgee RNA-Seq pipeline. These intergenic regions are used to generate all Bgee RNA-Seq present/absent expression calls. BgeeCall now allows to generate present/absent calls for any RNA-Seq library as long as reference intergenic sequences have been generated for the corresponding species. The threshold of present/absent expression is no longer arbitrary defined but is calculated based on expression of all RNA-Seq libraries integrated in Bgee.

  • biobtreeR The biobtreeR package provides an interface to biobtree tool which covers large set of bioinformatics datasets and allows search and chain mappings functionalities.

  • BiocDockerManager Package works analogous to BiocManager but for docker images. Use the BiocDockerManager package to install and manage docker images provided by the Bioconductor project. A convenient package to install images, update images and find which Bioconductor based docker images are available.

  • BRGenomics This package provides useful and efficient utilites for the analysis of high-resolution genomic data using standard Bioconductor methods and classes. BRGenomics is feature-rich and simplifies a number of post-alignment processing steps and data handling. Emphasis is on efficient analysis of multiple datasets, with support for normalization and blacklisting. Included are functions for: spike-in normalizing data; generating basepair-resolution readcounts and coverage data (e.g. for heatmaps); importing and processing bam files (e.g. for conversion to bigWig files); generating metaplots/metaprofiles (bootstrapped mean profiles) with confidence intervals; conveniently calling DESeq2 without using sample-blind estimates of genewise dispersion; among other features.

  • CARNIVAL An upgraded causal reasoning tool from Melas et al in R with updated assignments of TFs’ weights from PROGENy scores. Optimization parameters can be freely adjusted and multiple solutions can be obtained and aggregated.

  • ceRNAnetsim This package simulates regulations of ceRNA (Competing Endogenous) expression levels after a expression level change in one or more miRNA/mRNAs. The methodolgy adopted by the package has potential to incorparate any ceRNA (circRNA, lincRNA, etc.) into miRNA:target interaction network. The package basically distributes miRNA expression over available ceRNAs where each ceRNA attracks miRNAs proportional to its amount. But, the package can utilize multiple parameters that modify miRNA effect on its target (seed type, binding energy, binding location, etc.). The functions handle the given dataset as graph object and the processes progress via edge and node variables.

  • CeTF This package provides the necessary functions for performing the Partial Correlation coefficient with Information Theory (PCIT) (Reverter and Chan 2008) and Regulatory Impact Factors (RIF) (Reverter et al. 2010) algorithm. The PCIT algorithm identifies meaningful correlations to define edges in a weighted network and can be applied to any correlation-based network including but not limited to gene co-expression networks, while the RIF algorithm identify critical Transcription Factors (TF) from gene expression data. These two algorithms when combined provide a very relevant layer of information for gene expression studies (Microarray, RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq data).

  • CiteFuse CiteFuse pacakage implements a suite of methods and tools for CITE-seq data from pre-processing to integrative analytics, including doublet detection, network-based modality integration, cell type clustering, differential RNA and protein expression analysis, ADT evaluation, ligand-receptor interaction analysis, and interactive web-based visualisation of the analyses.

  • combi Combine quasi-likelihood estimation, compositional regression models and latent variable models for integrative visualization of several omics datasets. Both unconstrained and constrained integration is available, the results are shown as interpretable multiplots.

  • CoreGx A collection of functions and classes which serve as the foundation for our lab’s suite of R packages, such as ‘PharmacoGx’ and ‘RadioGx’. This package was created to abstract shared functionality from other lab package releases to increase ease of maintainability and reduce code repetition in current and future ‘Gx’ suite programs. Major features include a ‘CoreSet’ class, from which ‘RadioSet’ and ‘PharmaSet’ are derived, along with get and set methods for each respective slot. Additional functions related to fitting and plotting dose response curves, quantifying statistical correlation and calculating area under the curve (AUC) or survival fraction (SF) are included. For more details please see the included documentation, as well as: Smirnov, P., Safikhani, Z., El-Hachem, N., Wang, D., She, A., Olsen, C., Freeman, M., Selby, H., Gendoo, D., Grossman, P., Beck, A., Aerts, H., Lupien, M., Goldenberg, A.

  • cytomapper Highly multiplexed imaging cytometry acquires the single-cell expression of selected proteins in a spatially-resolved fashion. These measurements can be visualized across multiple length-scales. First, pixel-level intensities represent the spatial distributions of feature expression with highest resolution. Second, after segmentation, expression values or cell-level metadata (e.g. cell-type information) can be visualized on segmented cell areas. This package contains functions for the visualization of multiplexed read-outs and cell-level information obtained by multiplexed imaging cytometry. The main functions of this package allow 1. the visualization of pixel-level information across multiple channels and 2. the display of cell-level information (expression and/or metadata) on segmentation masks.

  • DIAlignR To obtain unbiased proteome coverage from a biological sample, mass-spectrometer is operated in Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) mode. Alignment of these DIA runs establishes consistency and less missing values in complete data-matrix. This package implements dynamic programming with affine gap penalty based approach for pair-wise alignment of analytes. A hybrid approach of global alignment (through MS2 features) and local alignment (with MS2 chromatograms) is implemented in this tool.

  • distinct distinct is a statistical method to perform differential testing between two or more groups of distributions; differential testing is performed via hierarchical non-parametric permutation tests on the cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) of each sample. While most methods for differential expression target differences in the mean abundance between conditions, distinct, by comparing full cdfs, identifies, both, differential patterns involving changes in the mean, as well as more subtle variations that do not involve the mean (e.g., unimodal vs. bi-modal distributions with the same mean). distinct is a general and flexible tool: due to its fully non-parametric nature, which makes no assumptions on how the data was generated, it can be applied to a variety of datasets. It is particularly suitable to perform differential state analyses on single cell data (i.e., differential analyses within sub-populations of cells), such as single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and high-dimensional flow or mass cytometry (HDCyto) data. To use distinct one needs data from two or more groups of samples (i.e., experimental conditions), with at least 2 samples (i.e., biological replicates) per group.

  • dittoSeq A universal, user friendly, single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing visualization toolkit that allows highly customizable creation of color blindness friendly, publication-quality figures. dittoSeq accepts both SingleCellExperiment (SCE) and Seurat objects, as well as the import and usage, via conversion to an SCE, of SummarizedExperiment or DGEList bulk data. Visualizations include dimensionality reduction plots, heatmaps, scatterplots, percent composition or expression across groups, and more. Customizations range from size and title adjustments to automatic generation of annotations for heatmaps, overlay of trajectory analysis onto any dimensionality reduciton plot, hidden data overlay upon cursor hovering via ggplotly conversion, and many more. All with simple, discrete inputs. Color blindness friendliness is powered by legend adjustments (enlarged keys), and by allowing the use of shapes or letter-overlay in addition to the carefully selected dittoColors().

  • dpeak dPeak is a statistical framework for the high resolution identification of protein-DNA interaction sites using PET and SET ChIP-Seq and ChIP-exo data. It provides computationally efficient and user friendly interface to process ChIP-seq and ChIP-exo data, implement exploratory analysis, fit dPeak model, and export list of predicted binding sites for downstream analysis.

For details see Gaidatzis et al., Nat Biotechnol 2015. doi: 10.1038/nbt.3269. eisaR implements the major steps of EISA in R.

  • EnMCB Creation of the correlated blocks using DNA methylation profiles. A stacked ensemble of machine learning models, which combined the support vector machine and elastic-net regression model, can be constructed to predict disease progression.

  • EpiTxDb EpiTxDb facilitates the storage of epitranscriptomic information. More specifically, it can keep track of modification identity, position, the enzyme for introducing it on the RNA, a specifier which determines the position on the RNA to be modified and the literature references each modification is associated with.

  • exomePeak2 exomePeak2 provides bias awared quantification and peak detection on Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing data (MeRIP-Seq). MeRIP-Seq is a commonly applied sequencing technology to measure the transcriptome-wide location and abundance of RNA modification sites under a given cellular condition. However, the quantification and peak calling in MeRIP-Seq are sensitive to PCR amplification bias which is prevalent in next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. In addition, the RNA-Seq based count data exhibits biological variation in small reads count. exomePeak2 collectively address these challanges by introducing a rich set of robust data science models tailored for MeRIP-Seq. With exomePeak2, users can perform peak calling, modification site quantification, and differential analysis with a straightforward one-step function. Alternatively, users could define personalized methods for their own analysis through multi-step functions and diagnostic plots.

  • gmoviz Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and cell lines are widely used models in all kinds of biological research. As part of characterising these models, DNA sequencing technology and bioinformatics analyses are used systematically to study their genomes. Therefore, large volumes of data are generated and various algorithms are applied to analyse this data, which introduces a challenge on representing all findings in an informative and concise manner. gmoviz provides users with an easy way to visualise and facilitate the explanation of complex genomic editing events on a larger, biologically-relevant scale.

  • GPA This package provides functions for fitting GPA, a statistical framework to prioritize GWAS results by integrating pleiotropy information and annotation data. In addition, it also includes ShinyGPA, an interactive visualization toolkit to investigate pleiotropic architecture.

  • HIPPO For scRNA-seq data, it selects features and clusters the cells simultaneously for single-cell UMI data.

  • mitch mitch is an R package for multi-contrast enrichment analysis. At it’s heart, it uses a rank-MANOVA based statistical approach to detect sets of genes that exhibit enrichment in the multidimensional space as compared to the background. The rank-MANOVA concept dates to work by Cox and Mann (https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-13-S16-S12). mitch is useful for pathway analysis of profiling studies with one, two or more contrasts, or in studies with multiple omics profiling, for example proteomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic analysis of the same samples. mitch is perfectly suited for pathway level differential analysis of scRNA-seq data. The main strengths of mitch are that it can import datasets easily from many upstream tools and has advanced plotting features to visualise these enrichments.

  • NoRCE While some non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been found to play critical regulatory roles in biological processes, most remain functionally uncharacterized. This presents a challenge whenever an interesting set of ncRNAs set needs to be analyzed in a functional context. Transcripts located close-by on the genome are often regulated together, and this spatial proximity hints at a functional association. Based on this idea, we present an R package, NoRCE, that performs cis enrichment analysis for a given set of ncRNAs. Enrichment is carried out by using the functional annotations of the coding genes located proximally to the input ncRNAs. NoRCE allows incorporating other biological information such as the topologically associating domain (TAD) regions, co-expression patterns, and miRNA target information. NoRCE repository includes several data files, such as cell line specific TAD regions, functional gene sets, and cancer expression data. Additionally, users can input custom data files. Results can be retrieved in a tabular format or viewed as graphs. NoRCE is currently available for the following species: human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, fruit fly, worm and yeast.

The package further provides methods for estimating the local degrees of freedom of data mappings.

  • receptLoss receptLoss identifies genes whose expression is lost in subsets of tumors relative to normal tissue. It is particularly well-suited in cases where the number of normal tissue samples is small, as the distribution of gene expression in normal tissue samples is approximated by a Gaussian. Originally designed for identifying nuclear hormone receptor expression loss but can be applied transcriptome wide as well.

  • reconsi Improves simultaneous inference under dependence of tests by estimating a collapsed null distribution through resampling. Accounting for the dependence between tests increases the power while reducing the variability of the false discovery proportion. This dependence is common in genomics applications, e.g. when combining flow cytometry measurements with microbiome sequence counts.

  • regutools RegulonDB has collected, harmonized and centralized data from hundreds of experiments for nearly two decades and is considered a point of reference for transcriptional regulation in Escherichia coli K12.

  • scMAGeCK scMAGeCK is a computational model to identify genes associated with multiple expression phenotypes from CRISPR screening coupled with single-cell RNA sequencing data (CROP-seq)

  • SCOPE Whole genome single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) enables characterization of copy number profiles at the cellular level. This circumvents the averaging effects associated with bulk-tissue sequencing and has increased resolution yet decreased ambiguity in deconvolving cancer subclones and elucidating cancer evolutionary history. ScDNA-seq data is, however, sparse, noisy, and highly variable even within a homogeneous cell population, due to the biases and artifacts that are introduced during the library preparation and sequencing procedure. Here, we propose SCOPE, a normalization and copy number estimation method for scDNA-seq data. The distinguishing features of SCOPE include: (i) utilization of cell-specific Gini coefficients for quality controls and for identification of normal/diploid cells, which are further used as negative control samples in a Poisson latent factor model for normalization; (ii) modeling of GC content bias using an expectation-maximization algorithm embedded in the Poisson generalized linear models, which accounts for the different copy number states along the genome; (iii) a cross-sample iterative segmentation procedure to identify breakpoints that are shared across cells from the same genetic background.

The toolbox includes pre-processing methods (e.g. signal drift and batch correction, normalisation, missing value imputation and scaling), univariate (e.g. ttest, various forms of ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis test and more) and multivariate statistical methods (e.g. PCA and PLS, including cross-validation and permutation testing) as well as machine learning methods (e.g. Support Vector Machines). The STATistics Ontology (STATO) has been integrated and implemented to provide standardised definitions for the different methods, inputs and outputs.

  • SynExtend Shared order between genomic sequences provide a great deal of information. Synteny objects produced by the R package DECIPHER provides quantitative information about that shared order. SynExtend provides tools for extracting information from Synteny objects.

  • TAPseq Design primers for targeted single-cell RNA-seq used by TAP-seq. Create sequence templates for target gene panels and design gene-specific primers using Primer3. Potential off-targets can be estimated with BLAST. Requires working installations of Primer3 and BLASTn.

  • TBSignatureProfiler Signatures of TB progression, TB disease, and other TB disease states have been created. This package makes it easy to profile RNA-Seq data using these signatures and common signature profiling tools including ASSIGN, GSVA, and ssGSEA.

  • tidybulk This is a collection of utility functions that allow to perform exploration of and calculations to RNA sequencing data, in a modular, pipe-friendly and tidy fashion.

  • timeOmics 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.

  • TreeAndLeaf TreeAndLeaf package comes as an alternative to solve problems regarding dendrogram plotting, such as the lack of space when the dendrogram is too large and the need for adding more layers of information. It treats a whole dendrogram as a tree, in which the observations are represented by the leaves.

  • tscR Clustering for time series data using slope distance and/or shape distance.

  • vasp Discovery of genome-wide variable alternative splicing events from short-read RNA-seq data and visualizations of gene splicing information for publication-quality multi-panel figures.

  • weitrix Data type and tools for working with matrices having precision weights and missing data. This package provides a common representation and tools that can be used with many types of high-throughput data. The meaning of the weights is compatible with usage in the base R function “lm” and the package “limma”. Calibrate weights by scaling weights row-wise to account for known predictors of precision. Find PCA-like components of variation even with many missing values, rotated so that individual components may be meaningfully interpreted. DelayedArray matrices and BiocParallel are supported.

New Data Experiment Packages

There are 10 new data experiment packages in this release of Bioconductor.

  • curatedAdipoArray A curated dataset of Microarrays samples. The samples are MDI- induced pre-adipocytes (3T3-L1) at different time points/stage of differentiation under different types of genetic (knockdown/overexpression) and pharmacological (drug treatment) perturbations. The package documents the data collection and processing. In addition to the documentation, the package contains the scripts that was used to generated the data.

  • dorothea This package contains human and mouse TF regulons. The human regulons were curated and collected from different types of evidence such as literature curated resources, ChIP-seq peaks, TF binding site motifs and interactions inferred directly from gene expression. The mouse regulons were constructed by mapping the human gene symbols to their orthologs in mice. Those regulons can be coupled with any statistical method that aims to analyse gene sets to infer TF activity from gene expression data. Preferably the statistical method viper is used.

  • gpaExample Example data for the GPA package, consisting of the p-values of 1,219,805 SNPs for five psychiatric disorder GWAS from the psychiatric GWAS consortium (PGC), with the annotation data using genes preferentially expressed in the central nervous system (CNS).

CAGEfightR

                    Changes in version 1.7.5                        
  • MAJOR/BREAKING UPDATE: quantifyCTSSs is now a generic with new defaults. When importing BigWig files, tiles are no specifed as a single number of tiles across the genome, rather than size in basepairs. The new default is to import the entire genome as a single tile. This should be the fastest option for small datasets, for larger datasets is usually faster to use multiple tiles.

  • quantifyCTSSs now accepts bedGraph files. Unlike BigWig import, this works on Windows.

  • New convert*-family of functions which can convert CTSSs between BigWig/BED/bedGraph formats.

  • New checkCTSSs for checking whether CTSSs-files are correctly formatted, and if not, will hopefully output some useful diagnostics.

  • New quickGenes wrapper function for collapsing cluster-level data to gene-level data. Check the vignette for example of usage.

  • New shapeMean function.

  • Many internal functions are now exposed as utils*-function. This should make it easier for power users and/or developers to modify and extend CAGEfightR.

  • Some internal changes to quantifyCTSSs and quantifyClusters for slightly better performance.

  • Fixed a small bug where assignGeneID counted NA as a gene when outputting a message. Note, this never affected the actual output of the function, just the message produced.

DelayedArray

                   Changes in version 0.14.0                        

NEW FEATURES

  • Support ‘type(x) <- new_type’ to change the type of a DelayedArray object.

  • 1D-style single bracket subsetting of DelayedArray objects now supports subsetting by a numeric matrix with one column per dimension.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • No more parallel evaluation by default, that is, getAutoBPPARAM() now returns NULL on a fresh session instead of one of the parallelization backends defined in BiocParallel. It is now the responsibility of the user to set the parallelization backend (with setAutoBPPARAM()) if they wish things like matrix multiplication, rowsum() or rowSums() use parallel evaluation again. Also BiocParallel has been moved from Depends to Suggests.

  • Replace arrayInd2() and linearInd() with Lindex2Mindex() and Mindex2Lindex(). The new functions are implemented in C for better performances and they properly handle L-index values greater than INT_MAX (2^31 - 1) in the input and output.

  • 2x speedup to coercion from DelayedArray to SparseArraySeed or dgCMatrix.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • arrayInd2() and linearInd() are now deprecated in favor of Lindex2Mindex() and Mindex2Lindex().

BUG FIXES

  • Fix handling of linear indices >= 2^31 in 1D-style single bracket subsetting of DelayedArray objects.

  • rowsum() & colsum() methods for DelayedArray objects now respect factor level ordering (issue #59).

  • Coercion from DelayedMatrix to dgCMatrix now propagates the dimnames.

  • No more quotes around the NA values of a DelayedArray of type “character”.

  • Better error message when Ops methods for DelayedArray objects reject their operands.

DeMixT

                    Changes in version 1.2.5                        
  • Added pi01 and pi02 as input values for users to initialize the proportion estimation.

  • Added nspikein as an input value in the DeMixT, DeMixT_S1 and DeMixT_GS functions to specify how many spike-in normal reference samples need to be generated; Setting nspikein at null as a default value, the number of spike-in normal reference samples equal the min(200, 0.3 x My), where My is the number of mixed samples; By setting nspikein equals 0, no spike-in normal reference will be generated; If the input value of data.N2 is not null, nspikein will be forced to be 0.

  • Added DeMixT_GS function, new proposed gene selection method which applies profile likelihood, for proportion estimation.

  • Added simulate_2comp function for users to simulate test data for 2-component de-convolution.

  • Added simulate_3comp function for users to simulate test data for 3-component de-convolution.

  • Added row names and column names for all output values.

  • Added gene.selection.method as an input value for DeMixT function. The default is ‘GS’.

  • Added ngene.Profile.selected as an input value for DeMixT function. The default is NA.

fishpond

                    Changes in version 1.4.0                        
  • Added isoformProportions(), which can be run after scaleInfReps() and optionally after filtering out transcripts using labelKeep(). Running swish() after isoformProportions() will produce differential transcript usage (DTU) results, instead of differential transcript expression (DTE) results. Example in vignette. + Default number of permutations increased from 30 to 100. It was observed that there was too much fluctuation in the DE called set for nperms=30 across different seeds, and setting to 100 helped to stabilize results across seeds, without increasing running time too much. For further reduced dependence on the seed, even higher values of nperms (e.g. 200, 300) can be used.

                      Changes in version 1.3.8

infercnv

             Changes in version 1.3.6 (2020-03-20)                  
  • Fix a read.table() call who’s behavior was changed by the latest R base devel changes.

               Changes in version 1.3.5 (2020-03-02)                  
    
  • Fix saving file name for preliminary object.

  • Added an option to plot_cnv(), plot_chr_scale, that allows to plot chromosomes proportionally to their full size. Either a list of chromosomes sizes is provided, or the last gene stop position + 10k bp is assumed. Gene width is proportional to the area in the chromosomes they “cover” (midpoints between genes). This option is slower than the default as rasterization can not be applied when drawing the heatmap.

               Changes in version 1.3.4 (2020-02-18)

               Changes in version 1.3.3 (2020-02-07)                  
    
  • Large speed improvements in plot_cnv() that are more significant the bigger the matrix size.

  • plot_cnv() now uses clustering information stored in the infercnv object for the references instead of rerunning the clustering every time.

  • Fix assumption that length(class(obj)) == 1, in this case for matrix objects for R 2020-01-28 update.

  • Made color.palette an exported function so that it can be used for the “custom_color_pal” option.

  • Updated some logging to be more accurate.

               Changes in version 1.3.2 (2019-12-06)                  
    
  • Added an new option “custom_color_pal” to plot_cnv() so a user can provide their choice of colors for the heatmap.

               Changes in version 1.2.2 (2019-12-06)                  
    
  • Fixed check of how HMM results are reported by so that add_to_seurat works when HMM_report_by is “cell” but HMM analysis_mode was “subclusters”.

  • Fix check of HMM_report_by setting in add_to_seurat when the option was not specified.

               Changes in version 1.2.1 (2019-11-14)                  
    
  • Fix R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2 related error because an argument was checked before matching to it’s list of potential arguments.

  • Fix text outputs for CNV reports when running with report_by=”cell”.

  • Fix add_to_seurat method to handle CNVs reported by cells in HMM predictions.

  • Fix how options used for a run are stored in the object and compared when trying to reload previous results so that it handles arguments given as variables in the call to run(). This also fixes the command-line script to run infercnv.

InPAS

                   Changes in version 1.19.1                        
  • replace all class by is.

INSPEcT

                   Changes in version 1.16.1                        
  • added the slot ‘version’ that store the version used in each object created (IMPORTANT! objects without this slot, i.e. created before this version cannot be used anymore and must be regenerated)

  • added 2 wrap-up function to run the entire INSPEcT pipeline with a single command line

  • ratePvals modified (calculated at the time of modeling via calculateRatePvals method and stored into slot ratePvals of the class INSPEcT)

  • changes in model params accession (modeling parameters are set via modelRates and only accessed via modelingParams; model selection parameters are set via calculatePvals and only accessed via modeingParams)

  • modifications to INSPEcT-GUI (Added Fix-Y-Axis & pvals in Y-labels, Confidence intervals controlled by a button rather than the checkbox)

IRanges

                   Changes in version 2.22.0                        

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Resync with change to smoothEnds() in R 4.0. In R 4.0, stats::smoothEnds() always returns an integer vector when the input is an integer vector. smoothEnds() on an IntegerList now reflects this: it returns an IntegerList object instead of a NumericList object.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • RangedData objects are now defunct. RangedData objects are defunct in BioC 3.11. They were deprecated in BioC 3.9 and, before that, their used has been discouraged in favor of GRanges or GRangesList objects since BioC 2.12, that is, since 2014.

IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR

             Changes in version 1.9.5 (2020-04-22)                  
  • Update type: Minor.

  • Update of createSwitchAnalyzeRlist() documentation.

  • Clean up of code for removal of fusion transcripts in importRdata()

               Changes in version 1.9.4 (2020-04-21)                  
    
  • Update type: Minor.

  • importRdata() was also updated to handle edge-case fusion transcripts.

               Changes in version 1.9.3 (2020-04-20)                  
    
  • Update type: Minor.

  • The creation of the switchAnalyzeRlist was updated to better handle cases where multiple isoforms have the same isoform_id (which could potentially be fusion transcripts). This was done by introducing the “removeFusionTranscripts” argument in both importGTF() and createSwitchAnalyzeRlist().

  • Update date for version 1.9.3 was updated.

               Changes in version 1.9.2 (2020-04-20)                  
    
  • Update type: Minor

  • analyzeSignalP and its documentation was further updated to handle edge case senarios from SignalP-5 predictions.

  • In extractSequence() the ‘filterAALength’ argument which removed to short and long sequences were split into to arguments: ‘removeShortAAseq’ (default is TRUE) and ‘removeLongAAseq’ (default is FALSE) to allow more nuanced control.

  • Fixed a problem in extractSequence() where the onlySwitchingGenes did not work if the nuclotide/amino acid sequences was already stored in the switchAnalyzeRlist.

  • extractConsequenceSummary() was modified to now also plot consequences analyzed but where no differences was found. This behaviour can be controled with the ‘removeEmptyConsequences’ argument.

  • Small documentation improvements.

               Changes in version 1.9.1 (2019-10-18)                  
    
  • (Version bump due to Bioconductor release)

  • Update type: Minor.

  • importCufflinksFiles() was updated to have the isoformNtFasta option making it easier to work with non-model organisms.

  • importGTF() was updated to allow the fasta file pointed to by the isoformNtFasta argument to contain extra sequences (which are then just ignored). This is what importRdata() already did.

  • Corrected a copy/paste mistake where analyzeCPC2 was suggested to be run with a codingCutoff of 0.725. This have now been corrected to 0.5
    • which was the default value all the time.
  • A bug in isoformToGeneExp() which could cause problems when using Gencode data was fixed. It was also updated to give better warning message in case of different ids in the quantification and annotation.

  • Due to the repport of pfam results whith missing data (which should not affect its usage within IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR) analyzePFAM() now uses readr::read_fwf() in combination with readr::fwf_empty() instead of read.table() to import the fixed width file (fwf) with the pfam results into R. analyzePFAM() will give warnings if it finds missing data.

  • analyzeSignalP() was updated to better handle stand-alone versions of SignalP-5 as well as edge case senarios from SignalP-5 predictions.

  • Various documentation updates.

  • switchPlotTopSwitches() was updated to give better warnings for edge case senarios.

  • the createSwitchAnalyzeRlist() was updated add the version number of IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR when the switchAnalyzeRlist was created.

isomiRs

                   Changes in version 1.15.2                        

FIX

  • Fix error for class type when using counts method.

                     Changes in version 1.15.1                        
    

FIX

KnowSeq

             Changes in version 1.1.15 (2019-11-11)                 
  • Novel Biological Based Feature Selection method named as Disease Association Feature Selection (DA-FS) added Further versions

  • MAC_OS alignment tools support

  • Incorporation of RUV to batch effect methods

limma

                   Changes in version 3.44.0                        

New functionality

  • Add new argument package to changeLog(). changeLog() now works for any package rather than only for limma.

Code improvements

  • Improved treatment of NA coefficients by contrasts.fit(). contrasts.fit() has always removed coefficients that were NA because of singularities in the design matrix, but any extra NA coefficients caused by NA expression values would cause all the stdev.unscaled values returned by contrasts.fit() to be NA for those genes. contrasts.fit() now returns non-NA coefficients and non-NA stdev.unscaled values if all the NA coefficients are multiplied by zero contrast multipliers.

  • Speed improvement for contrasts.fit() if some input coefficients are not involved (have zero multipliers) in any of the contrasts.

  • contrasts.fit() now preserves the pivot component of the fit object instead of removing it.

  • voom now checks explicitly for NA or negative counts and gives an informative error message.

  • fitFDist() now allows a covariate trend even with fewer than 4 useable observations. (Useable means positive residual df and finite variance and covariate values.)

  • Internal code cleaned up to avoid partial matching of function arguments, attributes or list component names. The automatic package tests are now run with the warnPartialMatchArgs, warnPartialMatchAttr and warnPartialMatchDollar options all set to TRUE.

Documentation

  • More explanation of covariates argument to removeBatchEffects().

Bug fixes

  • Fix bug in contrasts.fit() when some coefficients are NA due to NA expression values and the corresponding contrast multipliers are zero. The new code fixes the improvement originally introduced in limma 3.35.9. The new code will return non-NA contrasts if the NA coefficients all get 0 weight in the contrast. Previous code was correct if all genes had the same NA coefficients but could give an avoidable NA result if some genes had NA coefficients but the first gene did not.

  • Improvements to subsetting MArrayLM objects by column. Previously the presence of non-estimable coefficients sometimes caused the cov.coefficient matrix to be subsetted incorrectly; that is now fixed. Subsetting zero columns is now allowed even when F-statistics are present.

  • Fix to classifyTestsF() when one or more of the coefficients have zero variance. Previously the zero variance will introduce NAs into the correlation matrix and hence cause an error. This is now avoided. This also fixes eBayes() when one or more of the coefficients are identically zero (usually caused by an all-zero contrast).

More bug fixes and minor changes

  • TCGA and SRA data loading: - loadFirebrowseData() now returns expected data when asking for multiple datasets (such as in the case of performing a pan-cancer analysis) in both visual and command-line interface - SRA projects containing only one column of extra information in sample metadata are now correctly loaded instead of raising an error (loadSRAproject()) - Data loading and manipulation:
  • Copy-edit information on the format of user-provided files - Warn when discarding rows with duplicated rownames after loading user-provided files - getGtexDataTypes() is now exported, as expected
  • parseSplicingEvent() now returns the coordinates as numeric if coords = TRUE and char = FALSE - Improve dialog when trying to load a local folder without any supported files available - Alternative splicing annotation: - Confirmation dialog is not displayed any more when creating a folder (specially useful while running the visual interface) - Allow to select cache directory of AnnotationHub (command-line interface) - Fix prepareGeneQuant() discarding the argument strandedness if either stranded or stranded (reverse) - Data grouping: - Samples not associated with any subject are now kept when exporting groups to a file - Fix issues related with importing groups based on a file with groups of splicing events and/or genes - Inform user when groups are successfully loaded from a file and whether any group elements are discarded in the process - Show number of genes contained in pre-made gene lists - Discard unavailable genes when creating group of genes based on pre-made gene lists (unless these are automatically created at startup) - Density plot (plotDistribution()): - Fix visual bug when plotting a group with only one sample (if one data point is available for a group, only the rug plot is drawn) - After hiding all plot series, rug plots of the different groups can be distinguished based on the Y axis (different arbitrary Y values are given to each rug plot series) - Rug plot labels now show data values if sample names are not provided - Rug plot labels can now be rotated (rotation is not enabled by default given Highcharts issues that may occur at different zoom levels and depending on proximity between different sample values) - Fix misguiding example in function documentation - When hovering the values in the rug plot, the colour of the tooltip is now the same used for the rug points as expected - Survival analysis (p-value plot): - Fix alternative splicing quantification cutoff being selected based on the one whose difference has the highest (instead of the lowest) p-value - Fix plot line label presenting “p < 0.05” independently of the threshold used for significance - Gene, transcript and protein annotation: - Show available annotation information and query PubMed even if Ensembl is down - Avoid app crash when searching for PubMed articles too many times - Improve warning/error alerts: - Fix alerts crashing the visual interface - Improve message formatting regarding HTML-containing alerts - Improve unit tests and function documentation

regionReport

                   Changes in version 1.21.11                       

BUG FIXES

  • Cropping images through magick::image_trim() as done by default by BiocStyle::html_document() can fail on Linux. This could be an ImageMagick issue or an issue about lack of resources. The full investigative report is at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-April/016650.html. This is related to: https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/1785#issuecomment-574723631 https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/1796 https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStyle/issues/65#issuecomment-552832630 https://github.com/ropensci/magick/issues/171 https://github.com/ropensci/magick/issues/194 In regionReport version 1.21.10 I have opted by using crop = NULL to disable cropping of images by BiocStyle::html_document() and thus avoid the issues with ImageMagick either coming from magick, from the version of ImageMagick installed on the Linux Bioconductor build machine and devel docker, or from resources in these two Linux environments as described in the investigative report. About a month ago I also saw failures on Windows on Bioc 3.10. Whether they were caused by ggbio 1.35.1 or this issue will remain a mystery. But it’s likely that this magick::image_trim() issue also affected the Bioconductor windows builder. The related bioc-devel threads are: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-April/016538.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-March/016365.html

                     Changes in version 1.21.10                       
    

BUG FIXES

  • Add crop = NULL to all template Rmarkdown files. Drop magick as a depencency since cropping is not used on the reports (as done through BiocStyle by default). This is again related to responding to https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-April/016645.html.

                     Changes in version 1.21.9                        
    

BUG FIXES

  • Ran another test in preparation for https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-April/016645.html after the test in version 1.21.8 failed. The code will now be run in the example of derfinderReport() instead of the vignette.

                     Changes in version 1.21.8                        
    

BUG FIXES

  • In an attempt to fix the bug I reported at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-April/016645.html and in preparation to reply to this thread, I’m experimenting with suggesting that magick is installed, at which point BiocStyle will try to crop. Another option might be to use crop = NULL on all Rmd files.

                     Changes in version 1.21.5                        
    

BUG FIXES

  • The example in renderReport() was failing because the first time the function was called, it ran derfinder::makeGenomicState() which in turn uses GenomicFeatures::isActiveSeq(). derfinder version 1.21.5 fixed this bug and is thus required by regionReport now.

                     Changes in version 1.21.4                        
    

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Add links to the example reports created when deploying the documentation website with pkgdown::deploy_to_branch(). This eliminates the need for the vignetttes/Makefile and the fake vignettes. It should also avoid confusing pkgdown.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Now connect_database() uses BiocFileCache::BiocFileCache() and BiocFileCache::bfcrpath() to download the database from Dropbox when it’s not available from AnnotationHub::query() and caches the file so you don’t have to re-download it multiple times.

                     Changes in version 0.99.1                        
    

BUG FIXES

  • Address as many errors, warnings and notes as possible from http://bioconductor.org/spb_reports/regutools_buildreport_20200302121040.html#malbec2_check_anchor. For the Windows error, it’s likely related to mode = “w” versus mode = “wb” for utils::download.file() as in https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/commit/7ac24dc72cc75e42c9af8382c661517f4a64f08d.

SummarizedExperiment

                   Changes in version 1.18.0                        

NEW FEATURES

  • SummarizedExperiment objects with assays of > 4 dimensions are now fully supported.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • By default the assays() and assay() setters now reject inconsistent dimnames. By default the dimnames on the supplied assay(s) must be identical to the dimnames on the SummarizedExperiment object. The user now must use ‘withDimnames=FALSE’ if it’s not the case or they get an error. This is for symmetry with the behavior of the assays() and assay() getters (see issue #35). Unfortunately this change is likely to break existing code but at least the fix is easy.

  • dimnames() now returns NULL instead of list(NULL, NULL) on a SummarizedExperiment object with no dimnames. This is consistent with matrix objects.

  • Swap positions of arguments ‘…’ and ‘withDimnames’ in assays() setter and getter. So now it’s: assays(x, withDimnames=TRUE, …) assays(x, withDimnames=TRUE, …) <- value

  • Add ‘withDimnames’ argument to the assay() getter/setter. So now it’s: assay(x, i, withDimnames=TRUE, …) assay(x, i, withDimnames=TRUE, …) <- value Note that before this change, the user was able to explicitly set ‘withDimnames’ when calling assay() but since this was not a formal argument it was forwarded to assays() via the ellipsis. Having it as a formal argument makes it easier to discover and allows tab completion.

tximeta

                    Changes in version 1.6.0                        
  • Added PLOS Computational Biology citation! :-)

  • Added function splitSE to split one assay of a SummarizedExperiment into multiple assays, each containing features of a given type.

  • Added a wrapper function makeDGEList() to simplify making a DGEList for use with edgeR. See vignette for example. + tximeta will now make use of EnsDb created and distributed on AnnotationHub, unless useHub=FALSE. Also, a new function retrieveDb() can be called on a SummarizedExperiment to retrieve the underlying TxDb or EnsDb. + tximeta can now use customMetaInfo argument to locate a custom metadata information file such as meta_info.json, which should contain a tage, index_seq_hash, with the SHA-256 hash value of the reference transcripts.

  • Added markDuplicateTxps argument to add hasDuplicate and duplicates columns to rowData of SummarizedExperiment. One note is that, for efficiency, this argument and cleanDuplicateTxps will now share a duplicates CharacterList that is stored in the BiocFileCache, with the name dups-.... Therefore, if you have previously used cleanDuplicateTxps, you may need to bfcremove() any dups-... entries. Summarization to gene level will keep track of numDupSets per gene which informs about the number of transcripts sets (equivalence classes by transcript sequence content). + If during the indexing step, user didn’t use –gencode for a Gencode transcriptome file, tximeta will deal with this internally now by stripping all characters after the vertical bar |, in order to match long transcript names in the quant.sf files to the correct transcript names in the GTF.

                     Changes in version 1.5.28

tximport

                   Changes in version 1.16.0                        
  • Moved alevin arguments into a new ‘list’ argument, alevinArgs. As of this version the possible values for alevinArgs are: filterBarcodes, tierImport, forceSlow (all logical).

  • Added alevinArgs argument tierImport, which will import the “tier” information from alevin on the quantification assessment.

  • Add an alevinArgs argument filterBarcodes, which will only import cells with barcodes in the whitelist.txt file.

  • Fixed bug where the bootstrap matrices from alevin were not aligned by cell with the counts matrix. This affected the variance and the infReps list. The fix will also be propogated to tximport v1.14.1 (Oct 2019 release).

                     Changes in version 1.15.12

universalmotif

                    Changes in version 1.6.0                        

NEW FEATURES

  • log_string_pval(): small utility function to obtain the log of string-formatted p-values (such as those often carried in MEME-formatted motifs which are smaller than R’s double.xmin limit). Likely only a temporary solution.

  • view_motifs(…, return.raw) option: instead of returning a plot type object, return the aligned motif matrices.

  • view_motifs(…, dedup.names) option: allows plotting of motifs with duplicated names by appending a unique string.

  • merge_motifs(…, new.name) option: assign a name to the new merged motif instead of collapsing the names of the merged motifs together.

  • round_motif() utility: round down very low letter-position scores to zero.

MINOR CHANGES

  • Removed most previously deprecated function arguments.

  • Make sure view_motifs(…, use.type = “ICM”) properly sets ylim.

  • create_motif(): single motif positions can now be created.

  • create_motif(), character input: nsites slot is left empty is input is a single string. It is still filled if the input consists of multiple strings.

  • merge_motifs(): ALLR/ALLR_LL/KL/IS methods no longer add pseudocounts to the motifs. Instead, pseudocounts are added to temporary internal copies which are used for comparison and alignment. The original un-modified matrices are then combined.

  • read_meme(): now supports DNA-LIKE, RNA-LIKE, and AA-LIKE alphabets, though these will be treated as regular DNA, RNA, and AA alphabets, respectively. Contribution from Spencer Nystrom (https://github.com/bjmt/universalmotif/pull/7).

  • Some cleanup to documentation and vignettes.

  • General code cleanup.

BUG FIXES

  • write_meme() now includes altname slot if filled. Contribution from Spencer Nystrom (https://github.com/bjmt/universalmotif/pull/5).

  • write_meme() checks for and removes any spaces/equal signs in motif names/altnames.

  • view_motifs(…, use.type = “ICM”): check for zero IC motifs, as these cannot be plotted by ggseqlogo.

                      Changes in version 3.9.2                        
    
  • Fix featureChromatograms and chromatograms on a XCMSnExp object with features: features can be duplicated across rows (EICs).

  • findChromPeaks: add parameter add to allow several rounds of peak detections on the same object.

  • Small performance enhancement in fillChromPeaks.

  • Better support for MS > 1 data in fillChromPeaks: skip MS level 2 spectra for filling in.

  • Add refineChromPeaks for XChromatogram and XChromatograms objects.

  • Add groupOverlaps function to group arbitrary ranges.

  • Add quantify,XCMSnExp object to quantify an XCMSnExp into a SummarizedExperiment.

  • Fine-tune MergeNeighboringPeaks peak refinement method: the average of the 3 data points between candidate peaks is used to evaluate whether the peaks should be merged making the approach more robust against outliers. In addition, an ion chromatogram for candidate peaks is extracted with an m/z range expanded depending on the expandMz and ppm setting ensuring that low intensity data points between candidate peaks are not missed out (because their m/z might be slightly shifted on ToF instruments). The mzmin and mzmax of the merged peak represents also the minimum and maximum m/z of all data points in that extracted ion chromatogram.

                      Changes in version 3.9.1                        
    
  • Fix problem of not shown/plotted peak positions in plotChromPeakSpectra for experiments in which peaks were not detected in the first sample(s).

  • Add method from_to to missing value imputation method imputeRowMinRand.

  • Show warning in findChromPeaks if empty spectra are detected.

  • Add refineChromPeaks method and CleanPeaksParam class to allow removal of chromatographic peaks exceeding a user-definable maximal peak width.

  • Add MergeNeighboringPeaksParam for refineChromPeaks to allow merging of chromatographic peaks close in m/z and retention time with a signal between them higher than a certain threshold (issue #414).

  • Fix misspelled parameter mzd in LC-MS/MS vignette.

YAPSA

                   Changes in version 1.13.3                        

This is a stable version after several important changes

  • 95% Confidence intervals for exposures to mutational signatures can be computed

  • Analysis of the PCAWG mutational signatures is supported, both for PCAWG SNV and PCAWG Indel signatures

The vignettes have been substantially changed

  • new vignettes have been written for the new features confidence intervals and Indel signatures

  • new vignettes were added for features already present in the package before, especially the optimal signature-specific cutoffs

  • the topic of stratifiec analyses of mutational signatures was taken out of the main vignette and now is described in a vignette on its own.
