leafkin-An R package for automated kinematic data analysis of monocot leaves.

ABSTRACT: Growth is one of the most studied plant responses. At the cellular level, plant growth is driven by cell division and cell expansion. A means to quantify these two cellular processes is through kinematic analysis, a methodology that has been developed and perfected over the past decades, with in-depth descriptions of the methodology available. Unfortunately, after performing the lab work, researchers are required to perform time-consuming, repetitive and error-prone calculations. To lower the barrier towards this final step in the analysis and to aid researchers currently applying this technique, we have created leafkin, an R-package to perform all the calculations involved in the kinematic analysis of monocot leaves using only four functions. These functions support leaf elongation rate calculations, fitting of cell length profiles, extraction of fitted cell lengths and execution of kinematic equations. With the leafkin package, kinematic analysis of monocot leaves becomes more accessible than before.

AMDA: an R package for the automated microarray data analysis.

Project description:BackgroundMicroarrays are routinely used to assess mRNA transcript levels on a genome-wide scale. Large amount of microarray datasets are now available in several databases, and new experiments are constantly being performed. In spite of this fact, few and limited tools exist for quickly and easily analyzing the results. Microarray analysis can be challenging for researchers without the necessary training and it can be time-consuming for service providers with many users.ResultsTo address these problems we have developed an automated microarray data analysis (AMDA) software, which provides scientists with an easy and integrated system for the analysis of Affymetrix microarray experiments. AMDA is free and it is available as an R package. It is based on the Bioconductor project that provides a number of powerful bioinformatics and microarray analysis tools. This automated pipeline integrates different functions available in the R and Bioconductor projects with newly developed functions. AMDA covers all of the steps, performing a full data analysis, including image analysis, quality controls, normalization, selection of differentially expressed genes, clustering, correspondence analysis and functional evaluation. Finally a LaTEX document is dynamically generated depending on the performed analysis steps. The generated report contains comments and analysis results as well as the references to several files for a deeper investigation.ConclusionAMDA is freely available as an R package under the GPL license. The package as well as an example analysis report can be downloaded in the Services/Bioinformatics section of the Genopolis http://www.genopolis.it/.

ddPCRclust: an R package and Shiny app for automated analysis of multiplexed ddPCR data.

Project description:Motivation:Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is an emerging technology for quantifying DNA. By partitioning the target DNA into ∼20 000 droplets, each serving as its own PCR reaction compartment, a very high sensitivity of DNA quantification can be achieved. However, manual analysis of the data is time consuming and algorithms for automated analysis of non-orthogonal, multiplexed ddPCR data are unavailable, presenting a major bottleneck for the advancement of ddPCR transitioning from low-throughput to high-throughput. Results:ddPCRclust is an R package for automated analysis of data from Bio-Rad's droplet digital PCR systems (QX100 and QX200). It can automatically analyze and visualize multiplexed ddPCR experiments with up to four targets per reaction. Results are on par with manual analysis, but only take minutes to compute instead of hours. The accompanying Shiny app ddPCRvis provides easy access to the functionalities of ddPCRclust through a web-browser based GUI. Availability and implementation:R package: https://github.com/bgbrink/ddPCRclust; Interface: https://github.com/bgbrink/ddPCRvis/; Web: https://bibiserv.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/ddPCRvis/. Supplementary information:Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Semi-Automated Data Analysis for Ion-Selective Electrodes and Arrays Using the R Package ISEtools.

Project description:A new software package, ISEtools, is introduced for use within the popular open-source programming language R that allows Bayesian statistical data analysis techniques to be implemented in a straightforward manner. Incorporating all collected data simultaneously, this Bayesian approach naturally accommodates sensor arrays and provides improved limit of detection estimates, including providing appropriate uncertainty estimates. Utilising >1500 lines of code, ISEtools provides a set of three core functions-loadISEdata, describeISE, and analyseISE- for analysing ion-selective electrode data using the Nikolskii-Eisenman equation. The functions call, fit, and extract results from Bayesian models, automatically determining data structures, applying appropriate models, and returning results in an easily interpretable manner and with publication-ready figures. Importantly, while advanced statistical and computationally intensive methods are employed, the functions are designed to be accessible to non-specialists. Here we describe basic features of the package, demonstrated through a worked environmental application.

flowClust: a Bioconductor package for automated gating of flow cytometry data.

Project description:BackgroundAs a high-throughput technology that offers rapid quantification of multidimensional characteristics for millions of cells, flow cytometry (FCM) is widely used in health research, medical diagnosis and treatment, and vaccine development. Nevertheless, there is an increasing concern about the lack of appropriate software tools to provide an automated analysis platform to parallelize the high-throughput data-generation platform. Currently, to a large extent, FCM data analysis relies on the manual selection of sequential regions in 2-D graphical projections to extract the cell populations of interest. This is a time-consuming task that ignores the high-dimensionality of FCM data.ResultsIn view of the aforementioned issues, we have developed an R package called flowClust to automate FCM analysis. flowClust implements a robust model-based clustering approach based on multivariate t mixture models with the Box-Cox transformation. The package provides the functionality to identify cell populations whilst simultaneously handling the commonly encountered issues of outlier identification and data transformation. It offers various tools to summarize and visualize a wealth of features of the clustering results. In addition, to ensure its convenience of use, flowClust has been adapted for the current FCM data format, and integrated with existing Bioconductor packages dedicated to FCM analysis.ConclusionflowClust addresses the issue of a dearth of software that helps automate FCM analysis with a sound theoretical foundation. It tends to give reproducible results, and helps reduce the significant subjectivity and human time cost encountered in FCM analysis. The package contributes to the cytometry community by offering an efficient, automated analysis platform which facilitates the active, ongoing technological advancement.

STXMPy: a new software package for automated region of interest selection and statistical analysis of XANES data.

Project description:BackgroundSoft X-ray spectromicroscopy based absorption near-edge structure analysis, is a spectroscopic technique useful for investigating sample composition at a nanoscale of resolution. While the technique holds great promise for analysis of biological samples, current methodologies are challenged by a lack of automatic analysis software e. g. for selection of regions of interest and statistical comparisons of sample variability.ResultsWe have implemented a set of functions and scripts in Python to provide a semiautomatic treatment of data obtained using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy. The toolkit includes a novel line-by-line absorption conversion and data filtering automatically identifying image components with significant absorption. Results are provided to the user by direct graphical output to the screen and by output images and data files, including the average and standard deviation of the X-ray absorption spectrum. Using isolated mouse melanosomes as a sample biological tissue, application of STXMPy in analysis of biological tissues is illustrated.ConclusionThe STXMPy package allows both interactive and automated batch processing of scanning transmission X-ray microscopic data. It is open source, cross platform, and offers rapid script development using the interpreted Python language.

autoRasch: An R Package to Do Semi-Automated Rasch Analysis.

Project description:The R package autoRasch has been developed to perform a Rasch analysis in a (semi-)automated way. The automated part of the analysis is achieved by optimizing the so-called in-plus-out-of-questionnaire log-likelihood (IPOQ-LL) or IPOQ-LL-DIF when differential item functioning (DIF) is included. These criteria measure the quality of fit on a pre-collected survey, depending on which items are included in the final instrument. To compute these criteria, autoRasch fits the generalized partial credit model (GPCM) or the generalized partial credit model with differential item functioning (GPCM-DIF) using penalized joint maximum likelihood estimation (PJMLE). The package further allows the user to reevaluate the output of the automated method and use it as a basis for performing a manual Rasch analysis and provides standard statistics of Rasch analyses (e.g., outfit, infit, person separation reliability, and residual correlation) to support the model reevaluation.

GlycReSoft: a software package for automated recognition of glycans from LC/MS data.

Project description:Glycosylation modifies the physicochemical properties and protein binding functions of glycoconjugates. These modifications are biosynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus by a series of enzymatic transformations that are under complex control. As a result, mature glycans on a given site are heterogeneous mixtures of glycoforms. This gives rise to a spectrum of adhesive properties that strongly influences interactions with binding partners and resultant biological effects. In order to understand the roles glycosylation plays in normal and disease processes, efficient structural analysis tools are necessary. In the field of glycomics, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is used to profile the glycans present in a given sample. This technology enables comparison of glycan compositions and abundances among different biological samples, i.e. normal versus disease, normal versus mutant, etc. Manual analysis of the glycan profiling LC/MS data is extremely time-consuming and efficient software tools are needed to eliminate this bottleneck. In this work, we have developed a tool to computationally model LC/MS data to enable efficient profiling of glycans. Using LC/MS data deconvoluted by Decon2LS/DeconTools, we built a list of unique neutral masses corresponding to candidate glycan compositions summarized over their various charge states, adducts and range of elution times. Our work aims to provide confident identification of true compounds in complex data sets that are not amenable to manual interpretation. This capability is an essential part of glycomics work flows. We demonstrate this tool, GlycReSoft, using an LC/MS dataset on tissue derived heparan sulfate oligosaccharides. The software, code and a test data set are publically archived under an open source license.

Digital PCR cluster predictor: a universal R-package and shiny app for the automated analysis of multiplex digital PCR data.

Project description:Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) is an emerging technology that enables accurate and sensitive quantification of nucleic acids. Most available dPCR systems have two channel optics, with ad hoc software limited to the analysis of single and duplex assays. Although multiplexing strategies were developed, variable assay designs, dPCR systems, and the analysis of low DNA input data restricted the ability for a universal automated clustering approach. To overcome these issues, we developed dPCR Cluster Predictor (dPCP), an R package and a Shiny app for automated analysis of up to 4-plex dPCR data. dPCP can analyse and visualize data generated by multiple dPCR systems carrying out accurate and fast clustering not influenced by the amount and integrity of input of nucleic acids. With the companion Shiny app, the functionalities of dPCP can be accessed through a web browser.

RepEnTools: an automated repeat enrichment analysis package for ChIP-seq data reveals hUHRF1 Tandem-Tudor domain enrichment in young repeats.

Project description:BackgroundRepeat elements (REs) play important roles for cell function in health and disease. However, RE enrichment analysis in short-read high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data, such as ChIP-seq, is a challenging task.ResultsHere, we present RepEnTools, a software package for genome-wide RE enrichment analysis of ChIP-seq and similar chromatin pulldown experiments. Our analysis package bundles together various software with carefully chosen and validated settings to provide a complete solution for RE analysis, starting from raw input files to tabular and graphical outputs. RepEnTools implementations are easily accessible even with minimal IT skills (Galaxy/UNIX). To demonstrate the performance of RepEnTools, we analysed chromatin pulldown data by the human UHRF1 TTD protein domain and discovered enrichment of TTD binding on young primate and hominid specific polymorphic repeats (SVA, L1PA1/L1HS) overlapping known enhancers and decorated with H3K4me1-K9me2/3 modifications. We corroborated these new bioinformatic findings with experimental data by qPCR assays using newly developed primate and hominid specific qPCR assays which complement similar research tools. Finally, we analysed mouse UHRF1 ChIP-seq data with RepEnTools and showed that the endogenous mUHRF1 protein colocalizes with H3K4me1-H3K9me3 on promoters of REs which were silenced by UHRF1. These new data suggest a functional role for UHRF1 in silencing of REs that is mediated by TTD binding to the H3K4me1-K9me3 double mark and conserved in two mammalian species.ConclusionsRepEnTools improves the previously available programmes for RE enrichment analysis in chromatin pulldown studies by leveraging new tools, enhancing accessibility and adding some key functions. RepEnTools can analyse RE enrichment rapidly, efficiently, and accurately, providing the community with an up-to-date, reliable and accessible tool for this important type of analysis.
