New Software Packages

There are 100 new software packages in this release of Bioconductor.

• amplican amplican performs alignment of the amplicon reads, normalizes gathered data, calculates multiple statistics (e.g. cut rates, frameshifts) and presents results in form of aggregated reports. Data and statistics can be broken down by experiments, barcodes, user defined groups, guides and amplicons allowing for quick identification of potential problems.

• ANF This package is used for complex patient clustering by integrating multi-omic data through affinity network fusion.

• anota2seq anota2seq provides analysis of translational efficiency and differential expression analysis for polysome-profiling and ribosome-profiling studies (two or more sample classes) quantified by RNA sequencing or DNA-microarray. Polysome-profiling and ribosome-profiling typically generate data for two RNA sources; translated mRNA and total mRNA. Analysis of differential expression is used to estimate changes within each RNA source (i.e. translated mRNA or total mRNA). Analysis of translational efficiency aims to identify changes in translation efficiency leading to altered protein levels that are independent of total mRNA levels (i.e. changes in translated mRNA that are independent of levels of total mRNA) or buffering, a mechanism regulating translational efficiency so that protein levels remain constant despite fluctuating total mRNA levels (i.e. changes in total mRNA that are independent of levels of translated mRNA). anota2seq applies analysis of partial variance and the random variance model to fulfill these tasks.

• apeglm apeglm provides Bayesian shrinkage estimators for effect sizes for a variety of GLM models, using approximation of the posterior for individual coefficients.

• AUCell AUCell allows to identify cells with active gene sets (e.g. signatures, gene modules…) in single-cell RNA-seq data. AUCell uses the “Area Under the Curve” (AUC) to calculate whether a critical subset of the input gene set is enriched within the expressed genes for each cell. The distribution of AUC scores across all the cells allows exploring the relative expression of the signature. Since the scoring method is ranking-based, AUCell is independent of the gene expression units and the normalization procedure. In addition, since the cells are evaluated individually, it can easily be applied to bigger datasets, subsetting the expression matrix if needed.

• BASiCS Single-cell mRNA sequencing can uncover novel cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression levels in seemingly homogeneous populations of cells. However, these experiments are prone to high levels of technical noise, creating new challenges for identifying genes that show genuine heterogeneous expression within the population of cells under study. BASiCS (Bayesian Analysis of Single-Cell Sequencing data) is an integrated Bayesian hierarchical model to perform statistical analyses of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets in the context of supervised experiments (where the groups of cells of interest are known a priori, e.g. experimental conditions or cell types). BASiCS performs built-in data normalisation (global scaling) and technical noise quantification (based on spike-in genes). BASiCS provides an intuitive detection criterion for highly (or lowly) variable genes within a single group of cells. Additionally, BASiCS can compare gene expression patterns between two or more pre-specified groups of cells. Unlike traditional differential expression tools, BASiCS quantifies changes in expression that lie beyond comparisons of means, also allowing the study of changes in cell-to-cell heterogeneity. The latter are quantified via a biological over-dispersion parameter that measures residual over-dispersion (with respect to Poisson sampling) after normalisation and technical noise removal.

• beachmat Provides a consistent C++ class interface for a variety of commonly used matrix types, including sparse and HDF5-backed matrices.

• BiocSklearn This package provides interfaces to selected sklearn elements, and demonstrates fault tolerant use of python modules requiring extensive iteration.

• CEMiTool The CEMiTool package unifies the discovery and the analysis of coexpression gene modules in a fully automatic manner, while providing a user-friendly html report with high quality graphs. Our tool evaluates if modules contain genes that are over-represented by specific pathways or that are altered in a specific sample group. Additionally, CEMiTool is able to integrate transcriptomic data with interactome information, identifying the potential hubs on each network.

• ChIPanalyser Based on a statistical thermodynamic framework, ChIPanalyser tries to produce ChIP-seq like profile. The model relies on four consideration: TF binding sites can be scored using a Position weight Matrix, DNA accessibility plays a role in Transcription Factor binding, binding profiles are dependant on the number of transcription factors bound to DNA and finally binding energy (another way of describing PWM’s) or binding specificity should be modulated (hence the introduction of a binding specificity modulator). The end result of ChIPanalyser is to produce profiles simulating real ChIP-seq profile and provide accuracy measurements of these predicted profiles after being compared to real ChIP-seq data. The ultimate goal is to produce ChIP-seq like profiles predicting ChIP-seq like profile to circumvent the need to produce costly ChIP-seq experiments.

• chromswitch Chromswitch implements a flexible method to detect chromatin state switches between samples in two biological conditions in a specific genomic region of interest given peaks or chromatin state calls from ChIP-seq data.

• chromVAR Determine variation in chromatin accessibility across sets of annotations or peaks. Designed primarily for single-cell or sparse chromatin accessibility data, e.g. from scATAC-seq or sparse bulk ATAC or DNAse-seq experiments.

• ClusterJudge ClusterJudge implements the functions, examples and other software published as an algorithm by Gibbons, FD and Roth FP. The article is called “Judging the Quality of Gene Expression-Based Clustering Methods Using Gene Annotation” and it appeared in Genome Research, vol. 12, pp1574-1581 (2002). See package?ClusterJudge for an overview.

• coexnet Extracts the gene expression matrix from GEO DataSets (.CEL files) as a AffyBatch object. Additionally, can make the normalization process using two different methods (vsn and rma). The summarization (pass from multi-probe to one gene) uses two different criteria (Maximum value and Median of the samples expression data) and the process of gene differentially expressed analisys using two methods (sam and acde). The construction of the co-expression network can be conduced using two different methods, Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) or Mutual Information (MI) and choosing a threshold value using a graph theory approach.

• consensusOV This package implements four major subtype classifiers for high-grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer as described by Helland et al. (PLoS One, 2011), Bentink et al. (PLoS One, 2012), Verhaak et al. (J Clin Invest, 2013), and Konecny et al. (J Natl Cancer Inst, 2014). In addition, the package implements a consensus classifier, which consolidates and improves on the robustness of the proposed subtype classifiers, thereby providing reliable stratification of patients with HGS ovarian tumors of clearly defined subtype.

• DEP This package provides an integrated analysis workflow for robust and reproducible analysis of mass spectrometry proteomics data for differential protein expression or differential enrichment. It requires tabular input (e.g. txt files) as generated by quantitative analysis softwares of raw mass spectrometry data, such as MaxQuant or IsobarQuant. Functions are provided for data preparation, filtering, variance normalization and imputation of missing values, as well as statistical testing of differentially enriched / expressed proteins. It also includes tools to check intermediate steps in the workflow, such as normalization and missing values imputation. Finally, visualization tools are provided to explore the results, including heatmap, volcano plot and barplot representations. For scientists with limited experience in R, the package also contains wrapper functions that entail the complete analysis workflow and generate a report. Even easier to use are the interactive Shiny apps that are provided by the package.

• diffuStats Label propagation approaches are a widely used procedure in computational biology for giving context to molecular entities using network data. Node labels, which can derive from gene expression, genome-wide association studies, protein domains or metabolomics profiling, are propagated to their neighbours in the network, effectively smoothing the scores through prior annotated knowledge and prioritising novel candidates.

HiCcompare operates on processed Hi-C data in the form of chromosome-specific chromatin interaction matrices. It accepts three-column tab-separated text files storing chromatin interaction matrices in a sparse matrix format which are available from several sources. HiCcompare is designed to give the user the ability to perform a comparative analysis on the 3-Dimensional structure of the genomes of cells in different biological states.HiCcompare differs from other packages that attempt to compare Hi-C data in that it works on processed data in chromatin interaction matrix format instead of pre-processed sequencing data. In addition, HiCcompare provides a non-parametric method for the joint normalization and removal of biases between two Hi-C datasets for the purpose of comparative analysis. HiCcompare also provides a simple yet robust permutation method for detecting differences between Hi-C datasets.

• InterMineR Databases based on the InterMine platform such as FlyMine, modMine (modENCODE), RatMine, YeastMine, HumanMine and TargetMine are integrated databases of genomic, expression and protein data for various organisms. Integrating data makes it possible to run sophisticated data mining queries that span domains of biological knowledge. This R package provides interfaces with these databases through webservices. It makes most from the correspondence of the data frame object in R and the table object in databases, while hiding the details of data exchange through XML or JSON.

• IntramiRExploreR Intra-miR-ExploreR, an integrative miRNA target prediction bioinformatics tool, identifies targets combining expression and biophysical interactions of a given microRNA (miR). Using the tool, we have identified targets for 92 intragenic miRs in D. melanogaster, using available microarray expression data, from Affymetrix 1 and Affymetrix2 microarray array platforms, providing a global perspective of intragenic miR targets in Drosophila. Predicted targets are grouped according to biological functions using the DAVID Gene Ontology tool and are ranked based on a biologically relevant scoring system, enabling the user to identify functionally relevant targets for a given miR.

• IrisSpatialFeatures IrisSpatialFeatures reads the output of the PerkinElmer inForm software and calculates a variety of spatial statistics.

• M3C A central task in genomic data analyses for stratified medicine is class discovery which is accomplished through clustering. However, an unresolved problem with current clustering algorithms is they do not test the null hypothesis and derive p values. To solve this, we developed a novel hypothesis testing framework that uses consensus clustering called Monte Carlo Consensus Clustering (M3C). M3C use a multi-core enabled Monte Carlo simulation to generate a distribution of stability scores for each number of clusters using null datasets with the same gene-gene correlation structure as the real one. These distributions are used to derive p values and a beta distribution is fitted to the data to cheaply estimate p values beyond the limits of the simulation. M3C improves accuracy, allows rejection of the null hypothesis, removes systematic bias, and uses p values to make class number decisions. We believe M3C deals with a major pitfall in current automated class discovery tools.

It is currently considered the most promising biclustering method for identification of meaningful structures in complex and noisy data.

• RVS Rare Variant Sharing (RVS) implements tests of association and linkage between rare genetic variant genotypes and a dichotomous phenotype, e.g. a disease status, in family samples. The tests are based on probabilities of rare variant sharing by relatives under the null hypothesis of absence of linkage and association between the rare variants and the phenotype and apply to single variants or multiple variants in a region (e.g. gene-based test).

• Scale4C Scale4C is an R/Bioconductor package for scale-space transformation and visualization of 4C-seq data. The scale-space transformation is a multi-scale visualization technique to transform a 2D signal (e.g. 4C-seq reads on a genomic interval of choice) into a tesselation in the scale space (2D, genomic position x scale factor) by applying different smoothing kernels (Gauss, with increasing sigma). This transformation allows for explorative analysis and comparisons of the data’s structure with other samples.

• scfind Recently a very large collection of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) datasets has been generated and publicly released. For the collection to be useful, the information must be organized in a way that supports queries that are relevant to researchers. scfind builds an index from scRNA-seq datasets which organizes the information in a suitable and compact manner so that the datasets can be very efficiently searched for either cells or cell types in which a given list of genes is expressed.

• scmap Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is widely used to investigate the composition of complex tissues since the technology allows researchers to define cell-types using unsupervised clustering of the transcriptome.

Starting from a dataset containing the genomic positions of TF binding regions, for each base of the selected chromosome the accumulation of TFs is computed. Three different types of accumulation (TF, region and base accumulation) are available, together with the possibility of considering, in the single base accumulation computing, the TFs present not only in that single base, but also in its neighborhood, within a window of a given width. Then, high accumulation DNA zones are defined as regions of the genome formed by contiguous bases with accumulation equal or higher than a given threshold. In addition, some functions are provided in order to analyze, visualize and compare results obtained with different input parameters.

Does not appear to calibrate well for transcript level data.

• zinbwave Implements a general and flexible zero-inflated negative binomial model that can be used to provide a low-dimensional representations of single-cell RNA-seq data. The model accounts for zero inflation (dropouts), over-dispersion, and the count nature of the data.

cbaf

Changes in version 1.0.0 (2017-09-10):

New Functions

• New availableData() functon to scan all the cancer studies to examine presence of RNA-seq, microRNA-seq, microarray(mRNA), microarray(miRNA) and methylation data.

• New obtainOneStudy() function to obtain and store the supported data for at least one group of genes across multiple subgroups of a cancer study. In addion, it can check whether or not all genes are included in different subgroups of a cancer study and, if not, looks for the alternative gene names.

• New obtainMultipleStudies() function to obtain and store the supported data for at least one group of genes across multiple cancer studies. It can check whether or not all genes are included in each cancer study and, if not, it looks for the alternative gene names.

• New automatedStatistics() function to calculate the statistics of the data obtained by obtainOneStudy() or obtainMultipleStudies() functions. Based on user’s preference, these statistics can include frequency percentage, frequency ratio, mean value and median value of samples greater than specific value. Furthermore, it can look for the genes that comprise the highest values in each cancer and list the top 5 genes for frequency percentage, mean value and median value.

• New heatmapOutput() function to prepare heatmap for frequency percentage, mean value and median value data provided by automatedStatistics() function. Heatmaps for every gene group are stored in separate folder.

• New xlsxOutput() function to export the output of automatedStatistics() and the gene validation result of one of the obtainOneStudy() or obtainMultipleStudies() functions as an excel file. For every gene group, an excel file will be generated and stored in the same folder as heatmaps.

• New cleanDatabase() function to remove the created databases in the cbaf package directory. This helps users to obtain the fresh data from cbioportal.org.

• New processOneStudy() function to combine obtainOneStudy(), automatedStatistics(), heatmapOutput() and xlsxOutput() functions for the ease of use.

• New processMultipleStudies() function to combine obtainMultipleStudies(), automatedStatistics(), heatmapOutput() and xlsxOutput() functions for the ease of use.

ChAMP

Changes in version 2.8.8:

• Added one new parameter “method” in champ.load() function, which allows user to choose which method they want to use to read data. ChAMP or Minfi.

• champ.filter() has been totally recoded, now user can do any filtering on any data set they want. Merely champ.filter() is focused to take champ.import() result as input and generate filtered beta value for future analysis.

• Provide Whole New function champ.import() to read IDAT file to R, which is similar to minfi’s read.meth.exp() function.

• Added more strict checking in champ.runCombat(), now champ.runCombat() would check if your variable and batches conflict with each other.

Changes

• Added function tableClusters for tabling clusters by name.

• Added largeDataset option to subsampleClustering

• allow mergeInfo to be called in plotDendrogram to use stored merge info in plotting.

Bugs

• Fixed bug in .makeMergeDendrogram in getFeatures

Changes in version 1.3.6 (2017-10-18):

Changes

• MAJOR CHANGE TO DEFINITION OF CLASS: Added slots to ClusterExperiment object so that the object keeps the information about the merging, and added corresponding helper functions (see documentation). This means previous versions made of a ClusterExperiment object will no longer be valid objects! Old, saved objects from previous versions must be manually adapted to have these slots (with NULL or NA values as appropriate).

• Add function plotClustersWorkflow, see documentation

• Add function plotDimReduce for plotting low-dim pca with points labeled by cluster.

• Add function plotContrastHeatmap to plot the significant genes that are result of getBestFeatures

• getBestFeatures: can now be run on result of mergeClusters without having to call makeDendrogram again for the merged clusters.

• Change argument to plotClusters and plotBarplot from clusters to object

• makeDendrogram: default in is now dimReduce="mad" to avoid accidentally calling it with dimReduce="none" (previous default), which can kill interactive R sessions.

• Changes to plotHeatmap: - default in plotHeatmap to clusterSamplesData="dendrogramValue". - Changed handling of clusterSamplesData argument in plotHeatmap so that if argument equals dendrogramValue or primaryCluster and gives bad results / errors, will give warning and change argument appropriately. - Added arguments to plotHeatmap allowing more user control regarding making blank lines for when have gene groupings.

• mergeClusters now aligns the colors from mergeClusters and combineMany internally.

• mergeClusters now suppresses warnings created by the estimation of the percentage non-null unless showWarnings=TRUE.

• plotDendrogram: - has new argument clusterLabelAngle allowing user to change the angle of the clusterLabel printed on top (when plot is of type “colorblock”) - argument labelType has been changed to plotType

Bugs

• Arguments passed to mergeClusters, ClusterExperiment version, via the ... command will now go first to the mergeClusters matrix version and then onto the plotting, as stated in documentation (plotting arguments were being ignored on the clusterExperiment version of the function).

Changes in version 1.3.4 (2017-09-28):

Changes

• Add argument clusterLabels to plotClusters to allow user to set clusterLabels without changing the object.

• Added data object of run of RSEC. Changed lazyLoad to false because loading this object on installation was creating errors.

• Updated vignette to more completely cover RSEC.

• Change default clusterFunction argument to RSEC to be “hierarchical01” rather than all 01 methods (previous default). This reduces load of making simple call.

• Updated validity checks to reduce memory load, and dropped validObject calls.

• Added function getClusterManyParams to parse the parameter values in the clusterLabels from clusterMany

• Removed old dependency on diagram (from previous vignette, no longer needed)

Bugs

• Fixed error in subsetting of clusterExperiment object when dendrogram is attached (previously didn’t reset dendro_outbranch to NA)

Changes in version 1.3.3 (2017-09-07):

Changes

• Bug fix in clusterContrasts – missing match.arg option for outputType argument

Changes in version 1.3.2 (2017-07-05):

Changes

• Default for top.can in seqCluster are changed to be top.can=5.

• makeDendrogram now has the default argument ignoreUnassignedVar=TRUE like in RSEC

• add ClusterFunction class and update all functions to work on this. All built in cluster functions are now given ClusterFunction Objects, so all built in clustering functions can now work for either subsampleClustering or mainClustering. This will also make it easier for a user to define their own ClusterFunction object and have it be used by functions like clusterSingle. This is a major change in how some of the underlying functions work, but should not impact common functions like clusterMany and RSEC. Some of the more notable changes in the arguments for programmers are: - clusterD and clusterDArgs have been changed to mainClustering and mainClusterArgs. This change was made to make these arguments more clear as to their role in the clustering workflow (and because the clusterD refered to clustering a dissimilarity but it has clustered either x or D for many versions now. ) - seqCluster and clusterSingle no longer take the argument clusterFunction. clusterFunction must be given via mainClusterArgs and subsampleArgs to be passed to mainClustering or subsamplingCluster, respectively. Now only the upper-level function clusterMany takes clusterFunction directly as an argument. - mainClustering (previously clusterD) and subsampleClustering no longer take k nor alpha as a direct argument. These arguments, like all arguments used directly by the cluster function, now need to be passed to the clustering function in a list via clusterArgs. - The list of available built-in clustering routines provided by the package can now be accessed via listBuiltInFunctions(). The functions that are used for these functions are now available to the user via their ClusterFunction object that the user can access with the function getBuiltInFunction. (see ?listBuiltInFunctions)

• hiearchical01 clustering now has a different default, namely to apply as.dist to the input diss in order to get a dist object, rather than dist(1-diss) which was previously the default for historical reasons. This is controlled by argument whichHierDist, and can be set to the previous version by passing whichHierDist="dist" to the clusterArgs argument in either subsampleArgs or mainClusterArgs, depending on where hierarchical01 is being used.

• Spectral clustering is now available ("spectral") via the specc function of kernlab.

• clusterSingle now only returns the dissimilarity matrix in the coClustering slot if subsample=TRUE in the call. Furthermore, for the resulting dissimilarity to replace an existing coClustering slot value, the user must request it by setting replaceCoClustering=TRUE in the call to clusterSingle.

• Removed default value for argument proportion in combineMany. The previous default was proportion=1 but didn’t match most common use cases and was accidentally called by upper functions like RSEC.

• If the clusterFunction argument is not given to subsampleArgs by the user explicitly, and the clusterFunction of mainClusterArgs is appropriate, it will be used for subsampleClustering; if the clusterFunction in mainClusterArgs is not appropriate (e.g. subsampleClustering needs a type K because sequential=TRUE), then the default for the subsampleClustering will be 'pam'. This changes the previous behavior of subsampleClustering where the default was ‘pam’ in all cases where not explicitly given by the user. This change should have no impact on RSEC: since the clusterFunction for the mainClustering terms is a '01' type in RSEC and the subsampleClustering has to be type 'K' when sequential=TRUE, it will revert to the default "pam" as before.

Bugs

• Fixed error so where if clusterSingle was called on existing clusterExperiment object it would overwrite the information of the existing clusterExperiment object.

• Fixed RSEC so now if rerun on existing clusterExperiment object, it will grab defaults from the matrix version (previously defaults were those of the underlying function, which were not always the same, e.g. combineProportion default was previously 1)

• Fixed clusterMany so now it explicitly sets dimReduce="none" in call to clusterSingle. Before, might have been calling all of the dimReduce defaults (i.e. all of them!).

• Fixed so gives error if whichClusters in plotBarplot doesn’t match anything.

Changes in version 1.3.1 (2017-06-14):

Changes

• change how plotHeatmap handles visualizeData argument, so not required to have same number of genes as original, only same number of samples.

• Now if color of vectors given in clusterLegend does not have names, plotHeatmap will give them names matching the variable so that they will be used by aheatmap (previously would have left all colors white because do not have matching names).

• Large changes to how dendrograms are plotted by plotDendrogram and mergeClusters. This includes the ability to see the before and after clusterings along side the mergeClusters result, as well as a new slot added to the clusterExperiment class (dendro_outbranch). The names of several arguments to mergeClusters and plotDendrogram were changed for clarity: - leaves is now leafType in plotDendrogram. - plotType is now plotInfo in mergeClusters - doPlot is now plot in mergeClusters - leafType is now an option for mergeClusters as well. - Now when plotInfo (previously plotType) is set to none, the plot is still drawn, but just no information about the merging is added to the plot. To not plot the dendrogram at all, set plot=FALSE. - The option labelType in either plotDendrogram or mergeClusters controls whether names (name) or rectangular color blocks corresponding to the cluster (colorblock) are put at the tips of the dendrogram to label the clusters/samples.

• added dendroClusterIndex that behaves similarly to primaryClusterIndex

• added ability to give dendro as charater option to whichClusters argument

• added transformation<- to be able to assign manually the transformation slot

• Move MAST into ‘suggests’ pacakge so that not need R 3.4 to run the package.

• Change calculation of PCA dimensionality reduction to use svds from RSpectra package to improve speed

Bugs

• Fixed bug in RSEC where combineProportion argument was being ignored (set to 1)

• Fixed bug in definition of transform so that extends existing generic rather than masking it.

Changes in version 1.3.0 (2017-05-24):

Changes

• plotHeatmap accepts data.frame or ExpressionSet objects for the data argument (calls data.matrix or exprs on object and sends to matrix version)

• Added plotBarplot to plot a barplot for 1 cluster or comparison of 2 clusters along with tests.

• Added whichClusters argument to clusterMatrix to return only clusters corresponding to certain clusters. Mainly relevant for using arguments like workflow that are used by other commands (otherwise could just index the complete matrix manually…)

Bug fixes

• plotHeatmap now goes through the clusterLegend input and removes levels that do not exist in the sampleData; this was causing incorrect coloring when the clusterLegend had more (or less) levels that it assigned color to than the sampleData did (e.g. if sampleData was a subset of larger dataset upon which the original colors were assigned.) NOTE: that this now has the effect of NOT plotting all values in the clusterLegend if they are not represented in the data, thus changing the previous behavior of plotHeatmap legend.

• fixed bug in how plotHeatmap checked that the dimensions of user-supplied dendrogram match that of data (matrix version).

• fixed convertClusterLegend so when output is matrixNames or matrixColors, the resulting matrix has the colnames equal to cluster labels, like clusterMatrix.

• internal function .convertToNum now preserves names of input vector.

• fixed bug in plotting with merge clusters; previously if plotType=”all”, might not have been correctly plotted with the right internal node of the dendrogram.

GenomeInfoDb

Version: 1.14.0 Category: NEW FEATURES Text:

Version: 1.14.0 Category: SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES Text:

Version: 1.14.0 Category: DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT Text: Remove ‘force’ argument from seqinfo() and seqlevels() setters (the argument got deprecated in BioC 3.5 in favor of new and more flexible ‘pruning.mode’ argument).

Version: 1.14.0 Category: BUG FIXES Text: Add missing Y/chrY entry in seqlevel style db for Drosophila melanogaster and Rattus norvegicus.

GenomicAlignments

Changes in version 1.14.0:

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• makeGAlignmentPairs() no more drops pairs with discordant seqnames.

• Change ‘maxgap’ and ‘minoverlap’ argument defaults in methods of the findOverlaps() so they adhere to the new argument defaults of the generic defined in IRanges 2.12.0. See NEWS file in the IRanges package for more information about this change.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Remove ‘force’ argument from seqinfo() and seqlevels() setters (the argument got deprecated in BioC 3.5 in favor of new and more flexible ‘pruning.mode’ argument).

BUG FIXES

• Fix bug in pairing code of readGAlignmentPairs() when one mate in a pair is lost because of user-supplied filtering (e.g. mapqFilter=10).

GenomicFeatures

Changes in version 1.30:

NEW FEATURES

• Add makeTxDbFromEnsembl() for creating a TxDb object by querying directly an Ensembl MySQL server. This seems to be faster and more reliable than makeTxDbFromBiomart().

• Improve makeTxDbFromBiomart() support for EnsemblGenomes marts fungal_mart, metazoa_mart, plants_mart, and protist_mart.

• makeTxDbFromGFF() and makeTxDbFromGRanges() now import the CDS phase. This required a change in the schema of the underlying SQLite db of TxDb objects. This is still a work-in-progress e.g. cdsBy(txdb, by=”tx”) still needs to be modified to return the phase info.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• The *ByOverlaps() functions now use the same ‘maxgap’ and ‘minoverlap’ defaults as subsetByOverlaps().

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Remove ‘force’ argument from seqinfo() and seqlevels() setters (the argument got deprecated in BioC 3.5 in favor of new and more flexible ‘pruning.mode’ argument).

BUG FIXES

• exonicParts() and intronicParts() are now documented.

• Address a couple of issues pointed out by Matt Chambers in internal helpers get_organism_from_Ensembl_Mart_dataset() and .extractEnsemblReleaseFromDbVersion() used by makeTxDbFromBiomart().

• Fix internal utility .Ensembl_getMySQLCoreDir(). Was failing for some of the 69 datasets from the Ensembl mart, causing makeTxDbFromBiomart() to fail loopking up the organism scientific name and the chromosome lengths. Thanks to Matt Chambers for reporting this.

• Some tweaks and fixes needed to support RSQLite 2.0.

GenomicRanges

Changes in version 1.30.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Support GPos-based GRangesList objects.

• Add ‘na.rm’ argument to binnedAverage().

SIGNIFICANT USER-LEVEL CHANGES

• Change ‘maxgap’ and ‘minoverlap’ defaults for findOverlaps() and family (i.e. countOverlaps(), overlapsAny(), and subsetByOverlaps()). This change addresses 2 long-standing issues: (1) by default zero-width ranges are not excluded anymore, and (2) control of zero-width ranges and adjacent ranges is finally decoupled (only partially though). New default for ‘minoverlap’ is 0 instead of 1. New default for ‘maxgap’ is -1 instead of 0. See ?findOverlaps for more information about ‘maxgap’ and the meaning of -1. For example, if ‘type’ is “any”, you need to set ‘maxgap’ to 0 if you want adjacent ranges to be considered as overlapping.

• GPos now extends GRanges but with a ranges slot that must be an IPos object. Update “old” GPos objects with updateObject().

• Move pos() generic to IRanges package.

• Move rglist() generic to IRanges package.

• Rename GenomicRangesORmissing and GenomicRangesORGRangesList classes -> GenomicRanges_OR_missing and GenomicRanges_OR_GRangesList, respectively.

• Remove “seqinfo” method for RangesList objects.

• Remove “stack” method for GenomicRangesList objects.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Remove ‘force’ argument from seqinfo() and seqlevels() setters (the argument got deprecated in BioC 3.5 in favor of new and more flexible ‘pruning.mode’ argument).

BUG FIXES

• nearest() and distanceToNearest() now call findOverlaps() internally with maxgap=0 and minoverlap=0. This fixes incorrect results obtained in some situations e.g. in the situation reported here: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/99369/ (zero-width ranges) but also in this situation: nearest(GRanges(“chr1”, IRanges(5, 10)), GRanges(“chr1”, IRanges(1, 4:5)), select=”all”) where the 2 ranges in the subject are both nearest to the 5-10 range.

• ’$’ completion on GenomicRanges works in RStudio.

• Minor tweaks to conversion from character to GRanges and reverse conversion.

GenomicScores

Changes in version 1.2.0:

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

• Added methods ‘name()’ and ‘type()’ for GScores objects.

• Enabled the retrieval of multiple score values per genomic position (e.g., as in CADD or M-CAP scores).

• Added method ‘citation()’ to fetch citation information for genomic scores.

• Added function ‘makeGScoresPackage()’ to create an annotation package from an AnnotationHub genomic scores resource.

• Added ‘qfun()’ and ‘dqfun()’ methods to fetch the quantization and dequantization functions from used to store and retrieved genomic scores.

• Added ‘quantized’ argument to the ‘scores()’ method to obtain quantized values if the user wants to dequantize the values him or herself.

• Fallback to local AnnotationHub when there is no internet connection to fetch genomic scores through AnnotationHub resources.

• Added ‘MafDb’ class, derived from ‘GScores’ to store and access minor allele frequency values. This was originally defined in the ‘VariantFiltering’ package.

• The vignette has been updated to illustrate the use of some of the previous changes.

IntEREst

Changes in version 1.2.0:

NEW FEATURES

• DEXSeqIntEREst() runs DEXSeq differential exon usage or intron retention test on the SummarizedExperiment objects (resulted from interest() or interest.sequential() analysis).

IRanges

Changes in version 2.12.0:

NEW FEATURES

• Add IPos objects for storing a set of integer positions where most of the positions are typically (but not necessarily) adjacent.

• Add coercion of a character vector or factor representing ranges (e.g. “22-155”) to an IRanges object, as well as “as.character” and “as.factor” methods for Ranges objects.

• Introduce overlapsRanges() as a replacement for “ranges” methods for Hits and HitsList objects, and deprecate the latter.

• Add “is.unsorted” method for Ranges objects.

• Add “ranges” method for Ranges objects (downgrade the object to an IRanges instance and drop its metadata columns).

• Add ‘use.names’ and ‘use.mcols’ args to ranges() generic.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Change ‘maxgap’ and ‘minoverlap’ defaults for findOverlaps() and family (i.e. countOverlaps(), overlapsAny(), and subsetByOverlaps()). This change addresses 2 long-standing issues: (1) by default zero-width ranges are not excluded anymore, and (2) control of zero-width ranges and adjacent ranges is finally decoupled (only partially though). New default for ‘minoverlap’ is 0 instead of 1. New default for ‘maxgap’ is -1 instead of 0. See ?findOverlaps for more information about ‘maxgap’ and the meaning of -1. For example, if ‘type’ is “any”, you need to set ‘maxgap’ to 0 if you want adjacent ranges to be considered as overlapping. Note that poverlaps() still uses the old ‘maxgap’ and ‘minoverlap’ defaults.

• subsetByOverlaps() first 2 arguments are now named ‘x’ and ‘ranges’ (instead of ‘query’ and ‘subject’) for consistency with the transcriptsByOverlaps(), exonsByOverlaps(), and cdsByOverlaps() functions from the GenomicFeatures package and with the snpsByOverlaps() function from the BSgenome package.

• Replace ifelse() generic and methods with ifelse2() (eager semantics).

• Coercion from Ranges to IRanges now propagates the metadata columns.

• Move rglist() generic from GenomicRanges to IRanges package.

• The “union”, “intersect”, and “setdiff” methods for Ranges objects don’t act like endomorphisms anymore: now they always return an IRanges instance whatever Ranges derivatives are passed to them (e.g. NCList or NormalIRanges).

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Deprecate “ranges” methods for Hits and HitsList objects (replaced with overlapsRanges()).

• Deprecate the “overlapsAny”, “subsetByOverlaps”, “coverage” and “range” methods for RangedData objects.

• Deprecate the universe() getter and setter as well as the ‘universe’ argument of the RangesList(), IRangesList(), RleViewsList(), and RangedData() constructor functions.

• Default “togroup” method is now defunct (was deprecated in BioC 3.3).

• Remove grouplength() (was deprecated in BioC 3.3 and replaced with grouplengths, then defunct in BioC 3.4).

BUG FIXES

• nearest() and distanceToNearest() now call findOverlaps() internally with maxgap=0 and minoverlap=0. This fixes incorrect results obtained in some situations e.g. in the situation reported here: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/99369/ (zero-width ranges) but also in this situation: nearest(IRanges(5, 10), IRanges(1, 4:5), select=”all”) where the 2 ranges in the subject are both nearest to the 5-10 range.

• Fix restrict() and reverse() on IRanges objects with metadata columns.

• Fix table() on Ranges objects.

• Various other minor fixes.

IrisSpatialFeatures

Changes in version 0.99.3 (2017-08-10):

• First version

Version: 2017-10-25 Text: Fixed a small mistake in the documentation causing build warnings

Version: 2017-10-22 Text: isoformSwitchTestDRIMSeq() was updated to per default use dmFilter()

Version: 2017-10-22 Text: Small updates to documentation better explaining the functionalities from udate 0.99.12

Version: 2017-10-19 Text: Version bump for Bioconductor to keep up

Version: 2017-10-12 Text: importIsoformExpression() have been completely redesigned to utilize the tximport package as well as implementing the option for inter-library normalization of abundance (TxPM) values.

Version: 2017-10-12 Text: The vignette got a thorough workover - huge shoutout to Maria Dalby for the help!

Version: 2017-10-12 Text: isoformSwitchTestDRIMSeq() was extended to also include the dmFilter() functionality as part of the workflow.

Version: 2017-10-12 Text: The internal process calculating gene expression from isoform expression was cast as its own function: isoformToGeneExp().

Version: 2017-10-12 Text: Fixed an error that could cause problems when importing CDSs from a GTF file

Version: 2017-10-12 Text: Updated descriptions and other minor style issues.

Version: 2017-06-01 Text: Fixes some issue raised in the Bioconductor review To adhere to Bioconductor conventions the subset() method was removed and replaced by the subsetSwitchAnalyzeRlist() function.

Version: 2017-06-01 Text: The importIsoformExpression() function was updated to support import of Transcript Per Million (TxPM) as the relative abundance measure (Instead of TPM and RPKM/FPKM, which are discontinued) when importing data from Kallisto, Salmon and RSEM.

Version: 2017-06-01 Text: The isoformSwitchTestDRIMSeq() function was updated to make one linear model (one dmFit) instead of one model per pairwise comparison.

Version: 2017-06-01 Text: Small update to the switchPlot() functions to make it robust to NA annotation in non-essential data.

Version: 2017-06-01 Text: Added citation information since the article describing the R package was published: Vitting-Seerup et al. The Landscape of Isoform Switches in Human Cancers. Mol. Cancer Res. (2017).

Version: 2017-05-24 Text: Fixes some issue raised in the Bioconductor review

Version: 2017-05-24 Text: Fixes a but introdued during the recent update in how pfam results were integrated.

Version: 2017-05-24 Text: Updates of the vignette for inproved readability.

Version: 2017-05-19 Text: MAJOR update which: 1) Introduces the iso_ref and gene_ref handles to all entires in the switchAnalyzeRlist which allows for easy integration of data across the different enteries. 2) Now offers full integration with the DRIMSeq tool which utilizises advanced linear models to identify significant changes in isoform usage at isoform level enabling robust analysis of more complex designs including batch effects. The integraiton is availabe via the isoformSwitchTestDRIMSeq() function. 3) Updates IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR to handle EBI’s new server for running Pfam. 4) To enable the integration with DRIMSeq switchAnalyzeRlist object have been extended with: a) Isoform replciate count matrix. b) A design matrix. 5) The preFilter function have been updated with new functionalities and default cutoffs that are more suitable for use with DRIMSeq. See function documentation for details. 6) Implements suggested updates from Bioconductor reviewer This update is so large backward compatability is unfortunatly not feasiblie so all existing switchAnalyzeRlists will have to be remade. The extention of the switchAnalyzeRlist have also made a few changes in how to import data nessesary. Specifically: - The importRdata() function now take a replicate count matrix as it’s main input and the replicate FPKM matrix is optional. - The importBallgownData() function and it’s accompanying “exampleRdata.RData” have been decapitated since it does not contain count information. - The importIsoformExpression() function have been introduced to help with importing data from Kallisto, Salmon and RSEM. This function generates a isoform count matrix from the parent directory of the Kallisto/Salmon/RSEM analysis - which can easily be used with the importRdata() function to generate a switchAnalyzeRlist. Lastly the vignette have naturally been updated and improved accordingly.

Version: 2017-04 Text: Small incremental updates to ensure IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR lives up to all Bioconductor standards mostly consering how namespaces are organised and imported.

Version: 2017-04-18 Text: The following functionalities were added: - Enable filtering for significant switches in the preFilter() function. - The extractGenomeWideAnalysis() function was extended with the “annotationToAnalyze” parameter enabling specification of which annotation types to analyze. - The analyzeSwitchConsequences() function was extended to enable analysis of truncated protein (by supplying ‘domain_length’ to the ‘consequencesToAnalyze’ argument). - The analyzeSwitchConsequences() function was extended so the ‘ntCutoff’ also applies to TSS and TTS analysis. The following bugs were corrected: - A bug where importCufflinksCummeRbund() imported all genomic features of isoforms, including CDS etc, resulting in duplicated regions which caused problems for the intron retention analysis. This is only a problem for Cufflinks/Cuffdiff analysis where the refrence transcriptome contaied non-exon annotation (as defined in the type columns (column 3)) of the gtf file. - A bug in the analyzePFAM() function that sometimes prevented IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR in correctly format the result file whereby the function could not run. - The multi-threading option was removed since it was not supported by windows computers. We plan to bring it back in a later update. - The option of manually supplying the start and stop codon sequences that the annotateORF() function should scan for in transcripts. Furthermorethe vignette was extended for enhanced usability.

Changes in version 1.11.1:

• *corrected bugs that occur when mixture models include at most 1 predictor

MetaboSignal

Changes in version 1.7.12:

• MetaboSignal integrates KEGG metabolic and signaling networks with regulatory interactions reported in OmniPath and TRRUST.

• New functions: “MS2_ppiNetwork( )” and “MS2_mergeNetworks( )”.

Changes in version 1.7.8:

• MetaboSignal includes a new function: “MS_getPathIds()” which allows retrieving the identifiers (IDs) of all metabolic and signaling KEGG pathways of a given organism.

• “MS_keggNetwork()” can now transform KEGG IDs into Entrez gene IDs (use expand_genes = TRUE, convert_entrez = TRUE).

Unlike, MetaboSignal_matrix, “MS_keggNetwork()” does not perform network filtering by tissue expression data. Tissue filtering is now done with “MS_tissueFilter()”. Also, the compound nodes of the networks are not only metabolites, but also drugs and glycans.

• “MS_distances()”, “MS_shortestPathNetworks()”: use network nodes (i.e. KEGG IDs) as source nodes, not entrez IDs or gene symbols. However, the function “MS_convertGene()” allows to easily convert entrez IDs or gene symbols into KEGG IDs.

• First version based on profiling script version 010

minfi

Changes in version 1.23:

• Fixed as() (coercion) from RGChannelSetExtended to RGChannelSet, to support the argument extended=TRUE in read.matharray(). The core issue is the new(“RChannelSetExtended”) is an invalid object because it does not have correct elements of the assay slot. Instead of addressing this, I used a check for ncol=0, nrow=0 in the coercion function which asssumes the presence of correctly named assays. Original issue report by Stewart Morris swmorris@exseed.ed.ac.uk.

• Improved (made prettier) the printing of messages in read.metharray() and friends.

• Changed seqlevels(…, force = TRUE) to seqlevel(…, pruning.mode = “coarse”).

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• coerce,list,DataFrame generates “valid” names when list has none. This ends up introducing an inconsistency between DataFrame and data.frame but it is arguably a good one. We shouldn’t rely on DataFrame() to generate variable names from scratch anyway.

BUG FIXES

• Fix showAsCell() on data-frame-like and array-like objects with a single column, and on SplitDataFrameList objects.

• Calling DataFrame() with explict ‘row.names=NULL’ should block rownames inference.

• rbind_mcols() now is robust to missing ‘x’.

• Fix extractROWS() for arrays when subscript is a RangeNSBS.

• Temporary workaround to make the “union” method for Hits objects work even in the presence of another “union” generic in the cache (which is the case e.g. if the user loads the lubridate package).

• A couple of (long-time due) tweaks and fixes to “unlist” method for List objects so that it behaves consistently with “unlist” method for CompressedList objects.

• Modify Mini radix C code to accomodate a bug in Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 optimizer. [commit 241150d2b043e8fcf6721005422891baff018586]
