IntelliPy: A GUI for analyzing IntelliCage data.

ABSTRACT: The IntelliCage systems offer the possibility to conduct long-term behavioral experiments on mice in social groups without human intervention. Although this setup provides new findings, only about 150 studies with the IntelliCage system have been published in the last two decades, which is also caused by the challenging problems of processing and handling the large and heterogeneous amounts of captured data. This application note introduces the Python-GUI IntelliPy, especially designed for users not very experienced in using programming languages. IntelliPy allows users to quickly analyze the IntelliCage output in a user-friendly way, thus making the systems more accessible to a broader audience. https://github.com/NiRuff/IntelliPy. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

tReasure: R-based GUI package analyzing tRNA expression profiles from small RNA sequencing data.

Project description:BackgroundRecent deep sequencing technologies have proven to be valuable resources to gain insights into the expression profiles of diverse tRNAs. However, despite these technologies, the association of tRNAs with diverse diseases has not been explored in depth because analytical tools are lacking.ResultsWe developed a user-friendly tool, tRNA Expression Analysis Software Utilizing R for Easy use (tReasure), to analyze differentially expressed tRNAs (DEtRNAs) from deep sequencing data of small RNAs using R packages. tReasure can quantify individual mature tRNAs, isodecoders, and isoacceptors. By adopting stringent mapping strategies, tReasure supports the precise measurement of mature tRNA read counts. The whole analysis workflow for determining DEtRNAs (uploading FASTQ files, removing adapter sequences and poor-quality reads, mapping and quantifying tRNAs, filtering out low count tRNAs, determining DEtRNAs, and visualizing statistical analysis) can be performed with the tReasure package.ConclusionstReasure is an open-source software available for download at https://treasure.pmrc.re.kr and will be indispensable for users who have little experience with command-line software to explore the biological implication of tRNA expression.

FLUTE: A Python GUI for interactive phasor analysis of FLIM data.

Project description:Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique used to probe the local environment of fluorophores. The fit-free phasor approach to FLIM data is increasingly being used due to its ease of interpretation. To date, no open-source graphical user interface (GUI) for phasor analysis of FLIM data is available in Python, thus limiting the widespread use of phasor analysis in biomedical research. Here, we present Fluorescence Lifetime Ultimate Explorer (FLUTE), a Python GUI that is designed to fill this gap. FLUTE simplifies and automates many aspects of the analysis of FLIM data acquired in the time domain, such as calibrating the FLIM data, performing interactive exploration of the phasor plot, displaying phasor plots and FLIM images with different lifetime contrasts simultaneously, and calculating the distance from known molecular species. After applying desired filters and thresholds, the final edited datasets can be exported for further user-specific analysis. FLUTE has been tested using several FLIM datasets including autofluorescence of zebrafish embryos and in vitro cells. In summary, our user-friendly GUI extends the advantages of phasor plotting by making the data visualization and analysis easy and interactive, allows for analysis of large FLIM datasets, and accelerates FLIM analysis for non-specialized labs.

FishResp: R package and GUI application for analysis of aquatic respirometry data.

Project description:Intermittent-flow respirometry is widely used to measure oxygen uptake rates and subsequently estimate aerobic metabolic rates of aquatic animals. However, the lack of a standard quality-control software to detect technical problems represents a potential impediment to comparisons across studies in the field of evolutionary and conservation physiology. Here, we introduce 'FishResp', a versatile R package and its graphical implementation for quality-control and filtering of raw respirometry data. Our goal is to provide a straightforward, cross-platform and free software to help improve the quality and comparability of metabolic rate estimates for reducing methodological fragmentation in the field of aquatic respirometry. FishResp accepts data from various respirometry systems, allows users to detect potential mechanical problems which can occur during oxygen uptake measurements (e.g. chamber leaking, poor water circulation), and offers six options to correct raw data for microbial oxygen consumption. The software performs filtering of raw data based on user criteria, and produces accurate and unbiased estimates of absolute and mass-specific metabolic rates. Using data from three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata), we demonstrate the virtues of FishResp, highlighting the importance of detecting mechanical problems and correcting measurements for background respiration.

Data Mining Techniques in Analyzing Process Data: A Didactic.

Project description:Due to increasing use of technology-enhanced educational assessment, data mining methods have been explored to analyse process data in log files from such assessment. However, most studies were limited to one data mining technique under one specific scenario. The current study demonstrates the usage of four frequently used supervised techniques, including Classification and Regression Trees (CART), gradient boosting, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), and two unsupervised methods, Self-organizing Map (SOM) and k-means, fitted to one assessment data. The USA sample (N = 426) from the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) responding to problem-solving items is extracted to demonstrate the methods. After concrete feature generation and feature selection, classifier development procedures are implemented using the illustrated techniques. Results show satisfactory classification accuracy for all the techniques. Suggestions for the selection of classifiers are presented based on the research questions, the interpretability and the simplicity of the classifiers. Interpretations for the results from both supervised and unsupervised learning methods are provided.

HDTD: analyzing multi-tissue gene expression data.

Project description:MotivationBy collecting multiple samples per subject, researchers can characterize intra-subject variation using physiologically relevant measurements such as gene expression profiling. This can yield important insights into fundamental biological questions ranging from cell type identity to tumour development. For each subject, the data measurements can be written as a matrix with the different subsamples (e.g. multiple tissues) indexing the columns and the genes indexing the rows. In this context, neither the genes nor the tissues are expected to be independent and straightforward application of traditional statistical methods that ignore this two-way dependence might lead to erroneous conclusions. Herein, we present a suite of tools embedded within the R/Bioconductor package HDTD for robustly estimating and performing hypothesis tests about the mean relationship and the covariance structure within the rows and columns. We illustrate the utility of HDTD by applying it to analyze data generated by the Genotype-Tissue Expression consortium.Availability and implementationThe R package HDTD is part of Bioconductor. The source code and a comprehensive user's guide are available at http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/HDTD.htmlContact: A.Touloumis@brighton.ac.ukSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
