Geneplast: R/Bioconductor package for evolutionary rooting and plasticity inference based on distribution of orthologous groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Figure 1 shows a toy example to illustrate the analysis. The observed itens in Figure 1a are distributed evenly among the different species (i.e. high diversity), while Figure 1b shows the opposite case. The diversity is given by the normalized Shannon’s diversity and represents the distribution of orthologous and paralogous genes in a set of species. High diversity represents an homogeneous distribution among the evaluated species, while low diversity indicates that few species concentrate most of the observed orthologous genes.

tigre: Transcription factor inference through gaussian process reconstruction of expression for bioconductor
UNLABELLED tigre is an R/Bioconductor package for inference of transcription factor activity and ranking candidate target genes from gene expression time series. The underlying methodology is based on Gaussian process inference on a differential equation model that allows the use of short, unevenly sampled, time series. The method has been designed with efficient parallel implementation in mind...
متن کاملCorMut: an R/Bioconductor package for computing correlated mutations based on selection pressure
UNLABELLED Correlated mutations constitute a fundamental idea in evolutionary biology, and understanding correlated mutations will, in turn, facilitate an understanding of the genetic mechanisms governing evolution. CorMut is an R package designed to compute correlated mutations in the unit of codon or amino acid mutation. Three classical methods were incorporated, and the computation results c...
متن کاملMultivariate correlation estimator for inferring functional relationships from replicated genome-wide data
UNLABELLED Estimating pairwise correlation from replicated genome-scale (a.k.a. OMICS) data is fundamental to cluster functionally relevant biomolecules to a cellular pathway. The popular Pearson correlation coefficient estimates bivariate correlation by averaging over replicates. It is not completely satisfactory since it introduces strong bias while reducing variance. We propose a new multiva...

UNLABELLED Characterization of biological processes is progressively enabled with the increased generation of omics data on different signaling levels. Here we present a straightforward approach for the integrative analysis of data from different high-throughput technologies based on pathway and interaction models from public databases. pwOmics performs pathway-based level-specific data compari...
متن کاملDIGGIT: a Bioconductor package to infer genetic variants driving cellular phenotypes
UNLABELLED Identification of driver mutations in human diseases is often limited by cohort size and availability of appropriate statistical models. We propose a method for the systematic discovery of genetic alterations that are causal determinants of disease, by prioritizing genes upstream of functional disease drivers, within regulatory networks inferred de novo from experimental data. Here w...
