Contents -------- * Getting Started with Bioconductor 2.12 * New Software Packages * NEWS from new and existing packages * Packages removed from the release Getting Started with Bioconductor 2.12 ====================================== To install Bioconductor 2.12: 1. Install R 3.0. Bioconductor 2.12 has been designed expressly for this version of R. 2. Follow the instructions at http://bioconductor.org/install/ New Software Packages ===================== There are 65 new packages in this release of Bioconductor. - AnnotationHub: A client for retrieving data from the Bioconductor AnnotationHub online services. - antiProfiles: Implements gene expression anti-profiles as described in Corrada Bravo et al., BMC Bioinformatics 2012, 13:272 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-13-272. - ARRmNormalization: Perform the Adaptive Robust Regression method (ARRm) for the normalization of methylation data from the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450k assay. - BaseSpaceR: A rich R interface to Illumina's BaseSpace cloud computing environment, enabling the fast development of data analysis and visualisation tools. - biomvRCNS: In this package, a Hidden Semi Markov Model and one homogeneous segmentation model are designed and implemented for segmentation genomic data, with the aim of assisting in transcripts detection using high throughput technology like RNA-seq or tiling array, and copy number analysis using aCGH or sequencing. - BiSeq: The BiSeq package provides useful classes and functions to handle and analyze targeted bisulfite sequencing (BS) data such as reduced- representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) data. In particular, it implements an algorithm to detect differentially methylated regions (DMRs). The package takes already aligned BS data from one or multiple samples. - bumphunter: Tools for finding bumps in genomic data - CAGEr: Preprocessing of CAGE sequencing data, identification and normalization of transcription start sites and downstream analysis of transcription start sites clusters (promoters). - casper: Infer alternative splicing from paired-end RNA-seq data. The model is based on counting paths across exons, rather than pairwise exon connections, and estimates the fragment size and start distributions non- parametrically, which improves estimation precision. - chimera: This package facilitates the characterisation of fusion products events. It allows to import fusion data results from the following fusion finders: bellerophontes, deFuse, FusionFinder, FusionHunter, mapSplice, tophat-fusion, FusionMap - cisPath: cisPath is an R package for identification and visualization of the shortest functional paths between proteins in the protein-protein interaction network. - clipper: clipper is a package for topological gene set analysis. It implements a two-step empirical approach based on the exploitation of graph decomposition into a junction tree to reconstruct the most relevant signal path. In the first step clipper selects significant pathways according to statistical tests on the means and the concentration matrices of the graphs derived from pathway topologies. Then, it "clips" the whole pathway identifying the signal paths having the greatest association with a specific phenotype. - CNORfeeder: This package integrates literature-constrained and data- driven methods to infer signalling networks from perturbation experiments. It permits to extends a given network with links derived from the data via various inference methods, and uses information on physical interactions of proteins to guide and validate the integration of links. - copynumber: Penalized least squares regression is applied to fit piecewise constant curves to copy number data to locate genomic regions of constant copy number. Procedures are available for individual segmentation of each sample, joint segmentation of several samples and joint segmentation of the two data tracks from SNP-arrays. Several plotting functions are available for visualization of the data and the segmentation results. - DASiR: R package for programmatic retrieval of information from DAS servers - deltaGseg: Identifying distinct subpopulations through multiscale time series analysis - DESeq2: Estimate variance-mean dependence in count data from high-throughput sequencing assays and test for differential expression based on a model using the negative binomial distribution - dexus: DEXUS identifies differentially expressed genes in RNA-Seq data under all possible study designs such as studies without replicates, without sample groups, and with unknown conditions. DEXUS works also for known conditions, for example for RNA-Seq data with two or multiple conditions. RNA-Seq read count data can be provided both by the S4 class Count Data Set and by read count matrices. Differentially expressed transcripts can be visualized by heatmaps, in which unknown conditions, replicates, and samples groups are also indicated. This software is fast since the core algorithm is written in C. For very large data sets, a parallel version of DEXUS is provided in this package. DEXUS is a statistical model that is selected in a Bayesian framework by an EM algorithm. DEXUS does not need replicates to detect differentially expressed transcripts, since the replicates (or conditions) are estimated by the EM method for each transcript. The method provides an informative/non-informative value to extract differentially expressed transcripts at a desired significance level or power. - DriverNet: DriverNet is a package to predict functional important driver genes in cancer by integrating genome data (mutation and copy number variation data) and transcriptome data (gene expression data). The different kinds of data are combined by an influence graph, which is a gene-gene interaction network deduced from pathway data. A greedy algorithm is used to find the possible driver genes, which may mutated in a larger number of patients and these mutations will push the gene expression values of the connected genes to some extreme values. - DrugVsDisease: This package generates ranked lists of differential gene expression for either disease or drug profiles. Input data can be downloaded from Array Express or GEO, or from local CEL files. Ranked lists of differential expression and associated p-values are calculated using Limma. Enrichment scores (Subramanian et al. PNAS 2005) are calculated to a reference set of default drug or disease profiles, or a set of custom data supplied by the user. Network visualisation of significant scores are output in Cytoscape format. - eiR: The eiR package provides utilities for accelerated structure similarity searching of very large small molecule data sets using an embedding and indexing approach. - ensemblVEP: Query the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor via the perl API - epigenomix: A package for the integrative analysis of microarray based gene expression and histone modification data obtained by ChIP-seq. The package provides methods for data preprocessing and matching as well as methods for fitting bayesian mixture models in order to detect genes with differences in both data types. - gCMAPWeb: The gCMAPWeb R package provides a graphical user interface for the gCMAP package. gCMAPWeb uses the Rook package and can be used either on a local machine, leveraging R's internal web server, or run on a dedicated rApache web server installation. gCMAPWeb allows users to search their own data sources and instructions to generate reference datasets from public repositories are included with the package. The package supports three common types of analyses, specifically queries with 1. one or two sets of query gene identifiers, whose members are expected to show changes in gene expression in a consistent direction. For example, an up-regulated gene set might contain genes activated by a transcription factor, a down-regulated geneset targets repressed by the same factor. 2. a single set of query gene identifiers, whose members are expected to show divergent differential expression (non-directional query). For example, members of a particular signaling pathway, some of which may be up- some down-regulated in response to a stimulus. 3. a query with the complete results of a differential expression profiling experiment. For example, gene identifiers and z-scores from a previous perturbation experiment. gCMAPWeb accepts three types of identifiers: EntreIds, gene Symbols and microarray probe ids and can be configured to work with any species supported by Bioconductor. For each query submission, significantly similar reference datasets will be identified and reported in graphical and tabular form. - GENE.E: Interactive exploration of matrices in GENE-E. - geNetClassifier: Comprehensive package to automatically train a multi- class SVM classifier based on gene expression data. Provides transparent selection of gene markers, their coexpression networks, and an interface to query the classifier. - GraphPAC: Identifies mutational clusters of amino acids in a protein while utilizing the proteins tertiary structure via a graph theoretical model. - HCsnip: Decompose given hierarchical clustering tree into non- overlapping clusters in a semi-supervised way by using available patients follow- up information as guidance.

Gentleman, and Marc Carlson, and KEGG (python package) by Aurelien Mazurie. - lpNet: lpNet takes perturbation data as input and generates an LP model which allows the inference of signaling networks. For parameter identification either leave-one-out cross-validation or stratified n-fold cross-validation can be used. - metagenomeSeq: metagenomeSeq is designed to determine features (be it Operational Taxanomic Unit (OTU), species, etc.) that are differentially abundant between two or more groups of multiple samples. metagenomeSeq is designed to address the effects of both normalization and under- sampling of microbial communities on disease association detection and the testing of feature correlations. - MethylSeekR: This is a package for the discovery of regulatory regions from Bis-seq data - MineICA: The goal of MineICA is to make easier the interpretation of the interpretation of a decomposition obtained by Independent Component Analysis on transcriptomic data. It helps the biological interpretation of the components by studying their association with variables (e.g sample annotations) and gene sets, and enables the comparison of components from different datasets using correlation-based graph. - MMDiff: This package detects statistically significant difference between read enrichment profiles in different ChIP-Seq samples. To take advantage of shape differences it uses Kernel methods (Maximum Mean Discrepancy, MMD). - PAPi: The Pathway Activity Profiling - PAPi - is an R package for predicting the activity of metabolic pathways based solely on a metabolomics data set containing a list of metabolites identified and their respective abundances in different biological samples. PAPi generates hypothesis that improves the final biological interpretation. See Aggio, R.B.M; Ruggiero, K. and Villas-Boas, S.G. (2010) - Pathway Activity Profiling (PAPi): from metabolite profile to metabolic pathway activity. Bioinformatics. - PathNet: PathNet uses topological information present in pathways and differential expression levels of genes (obtained from microarray experiment) to identify pathways that are 1) significantly enriched and 2) associated with each other in the context of differential expression. The algorithm is described in: PathNet: A tool for pathway analysis using topological information. Dutta B, Wallqvist A, and Reifman J. Source Code for Biology and Medicine 2012 Sep 24;7(1):10. - pathview: Pathview is a tool set for pathway based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis. - piano: Piano performs gene set analysis using various statistical methods, from different gene level statistics and a wide range of gene-set collections . Futhermore, the Piano package contains functions for combining the results of multiple runs of gene set analyses. - plrs: The present package implements a flexible framework for modeling the relationship between DNA copy number and gene expression data using Piecewise Linear Regression Splines (PLRS). - prebs: The prebs package aims at making RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data more comparable to microarray data. The comparability is achieved by summarizing sequencing-based expressions of probe regions using a modified version of RMA algorithm. The pipeline takes mapped reads in BAM format as an input and produces either gene expressions or original microarray probe set expressions as an output. - pRoloc: This package implements pattern recognition techniques on quantitiative mass spectrometry data to infer protein sub-cellular localisation. - proteinProfiles: Significance assessment for distance measures of time- course protein profiles - pvca: This package contains the function to assess the batch sources by fitting all "sources" as random effects including two-way interaction terms in the Mixed Model(depends on lme4 package) to selected principal components, which were obtained from the original data correlation matrix. This package accompanies the book "Batch Effects and Noise in Microarray Experiements, chapter 12. - QuasR: This package provides a framework for the quantification and analysis of Short Reads. It covers a complete workflow starting from raw sequence reads, over creation of alignments and quality control plots, to the quantification of genomic regions of interest. - rBiopaxParser: Parses BioPAX files and represents them in R, at the moment BioPAX level 2 and level 3 are supported. - Rbowtie: This package provides an R wrapper around the popular bowtie short read aligner and around SpliceMap, a de novo splice junction discovery and alignment tool. The package is used by the QuasR bioconductor package. We recommend to use the QuasR package instead of using Rbowtie directly. - RIPSeeker: Infer and discriminate RIP peaks from RIP-seq alignments using two-state HMM with negative binomial emission probability. While RIPSeeker is specifically tailored for RIP-seq data analysis, it also provides a suite of bioinformatics tools integrated within this self-contained software package comprehensively addressing issues ranging from post-alignments processing to visualization and annotation. - RNASeqPower: RNA-seq, sample size - ROntoTools: Suite of tools for functional analysis - RSVSim: RSVSim is a package for the simulation of deletions, insertions, inversion, tandem-duplications and translocations of various sizes in any genome available as FASTA-file or BSgenome data package. SV breakpoints can be placed uniformly accross the whole genome, with a bias towards repeat regions and regions of high homology (for hg19) or at user-supplied coordinates. - rTANDEM: This package encapsulate X!Tandem in R. In its most basic functionality, this package allows to call tandem(input) from R, just as tandem.exe /path/to/input.xml would be used to run X!Tandem from the command line. Classes are also provided for taxonomy and parameters objects and methods are provided to convert xml files to R objects and vice versa. This package is the first step in an attempt to provide a reliable worflow for proteomics analysis in R. - SANTA: This package provides methods for measuring the strength of association between a network and a phenotype. It does this by measuring clustering of the phenotype across the network. Vertices can also be individually ranked by their strength of association with high-weight vertices. - SeqArray: Big data management of genome-wide variants using the CoreArray library, where genotypic data and annotations are stored in an array- oriented manner, offering efficient access of genetic variants using the R language. - SeqGSEA: Gene set enrichment analysis of high-throughput RNA-Seq data by integrating differential expression and splicing. Using negative binomial distribution to model read count data, which accounts for sequencing biases and biological variation. Based on permutation, significance analysis can also be done regarding each gene's differential expression and splicing, respectively. - SNAGEE: Signal-to-Noise applied to Gene Expression Experiments. Signal-to-noise ratios can be used as a proxy for quality of gene expression studies and samples. The SNRs can be calculated on any gene expression data set as long as gene IDs are available, no access to the raw data files is necessary. This allows to flag problematic studies and samples in any public data set. - SomatiCA: SomatiCA is a software suite that is capable of identifying, characterizing, and quantifying somatic CNAs from cancer genome sequencing. First, it uses read depths and lesser allele frequencies (LAF) from mapped short sequence reads to segment the genome and identify candidate CNAs. Second, SomatiCA estimates the admixture rate from the relative copy-number profile of tumor-normal pair by a Bayesian finite mixture model. Third, SomatiCA quantifies absolute somatic copy-number and subclonality for each genomic segment to guide its characterization. Results from SomatiCA can be further integrated with single nucleotide variations (SNVs) to get a better understanding of the tumor evolution. - SPEM: This package can optimize the parameter in S-system models given time series data - SplicingGraphs: This package allows the user to create, manipulate, and visualize splicing graphs and their bubbles based on a gene model for a given organism. Additionally it allows the user to assign RNA- seq reads to the edges of a set of splicing graphs, and to summarize them. - triplex: This package provides functions for identification and visualization of potential intramolecular triplex patterns in DNA sequence. The main functionality is to detect the positions of subsequences capable of folding into an intramolecular triplex (H-DNA) in a much larger sequence. The potential H-DNA (triplexes) should be made of as many canonical nucleotide triplets as possible. The package includes visualization showing the exact base-pairing in 1D, 2D or 3D. - UniProt.ws: A collection of functions for retrieving, processing and repackaging the Uniprot web services. - wateRmelon: 15 flavours of betas and three performance metrics, with methods for objects produced by methylumi, minfi and IMA packages.

Johnson) edgeR ----- Changes in version 3.2.0: - The User's Guide has a new section on between and within subject designs and a new case study on RNA-seq profiling of unrelated Nigerian individuals. Section 2.9 (item 2) now gives a code example of how to pre-specify the dispersion value. - New functions estimateDisp() and WLEB() to automate the estimation of common, trended and tagwise dispersions. The function estimateDisp() provides a simpler alternative pipeline and in principle replaces all the other dispersion estimation functions, for both glms and for classic edgeR. It can also incorporate automatic estimation of the prior degrees of freedom, and can do this in a robust fashion. - glmLRT() now permits the contrast argument to be a matrix with multiple columns, making the treatment of this argument analogous to that of the coef argument. - glmLRT() now has a new F-test option. This option takes into account the uncertainty with which the dispersion is estimated and is more conservative than the default chi-square test. - glmQLFTest() has a number of important improvements. It now has a simpler alternative calling sequence: it can take either a fitted model object as before, or it can take a DGEList object and design matrix and do the model fit itself. If provided with a fitted model object, it now checks whether the dispersion is of a suitable type (common or trended). It now optionally produces a plot of the raw and shrunk residual mean deviances versus AveLogCPM. It now has the option of robustifying the empirical Bayes step. It now has a more careful calculation of residual df that takes special account of cases where all replicates in a group are identically zero. - The gene set test functions roast(), mroast() and camera() now have methods defined for DGEList data objects. This facilitates gene set testing and pathway analysis of expression profiles within edgeR. - The default method of plotMDS() for DGEList objects has changed. The new default forms log-counts-per-million and computes Euclidean distances. The old method based on BCV-distances is available by setting method="BCV". The annotation of the plot axes has been improved so that the distance method used is apparent from the plot. - The argument prior.count.total used for shrinking log-fold-changes has been changed to prior.count in various functions throughout the package, and now refers to the average prior.count per observation rather than the total prior count across a transcript. The treatment of prior.counts has also been changed very slightly in cpm() when log=TRUE. - New function aveLogCPM() to compute the average log count per million for each transcript across all libraries. This is now used by all functions in the package to set AveLogCPM, which is now the standard measure of abundance. The value for AveLogCPM is now computed just once, and not updated when the dispersion is estimated or when a linear model is fitted. glmFit() now preserves the AveLogCPM vector found in the DGEList object rather than recomputing it. The use of the old abundance measure is being phased out. - The glm dispersion estimation functions are now much faster. - New function rpkm() to compute reads per kilobase per million (RPKM). - New option method="none" for calcNormFactors(). - The default span used by dispBinTrend() has been reduced. - Various improvements to internal C++ code. - Functions binCMLDispersion() and bin.dispersion() have been removed as obsolete. - Bug fix to subsetting for DGEGLM objects. - Bug fix to plotMDS.DGEList to make consistent use of norm.factors. eiR --- Changes in version 1.0.0: NEW FEATURES - The eiR packages introduces efficient methods for accelerating structure similarity searches and clustering of very large compound datasets. The acceleration is achieved by applying embedding and indexing techniques to represent chemical compounds in a high-dimensional Euclidean space and to employ ultra-fast pre-screening of the compound dataset using the LSH-assisted nearest neighbor search in the embedding space. This method can drastically reduce the search time of large databases, by a factor of 40?200 fold when searching for the 100 closest compounds to a query.

Changes in version 2.9.1: - removed dependency on multtest package for p-value FDR adjustment, use p.adjust function of the stat package instead. - change "depends" to "imports" for graph package as we only need to import graphNEL class and connComp method. - subset kegg.gs. From now, kegg.gs only include the subset of canonical signaling and metabolic pathways from KEGG pathway database, and kegg.gs.dise is the subset of disease pathways. And it is recommended to do KEGG pathway analysis with either kegg.gs or kegg.gs.dise seperately (rather than combined altogether) for better defined results. Note that kegg.gs and subsets are be defined slightly different in gageData package. - In gage vignette, add citation section and an example of including all genes (rather than those selected using essGene function) in top gene set result check using geneData function. GeneAnswers ----------- Changes in version 2.0.0: NEW FEATURES - Reactome pathway analysis is based on local reactome.db. The previous xml queries had been disabled.

This allows for resize(x, w, fix = "end") without worrying about 'x' being zero-length. - Change the behavior of "distance". Previously adjacent ranges had a distance of 1 and overlapping had a distance of 0. Now both adjacent AND overlapping have a distance of 0. - shift,GenomicRanges-method no longer trims out of bound ranges. - "distanceToNearest" no longer drops ranges that have no hit but returns 'NA' for 'subjectHits' and 'distance'. - "genome" is no longer an invalid metadata colname for GenomicRanges objects. - 4x-8x speedup for doing coverage() on a GRanges or GRangesList with many seqlevels. - Remove ">=", "<", and ">" methods for GenomicRanges objects. - Speedup "seqinfo" setters for GenomicRanges and GappedAlignments by avoiding validation when not necessary. - readGappedAlignments can now pass a BamFile to readBamGappedAlignments. - Remove unneeded "unique" and "sort" methods for GenomicRanges objects. - Change behavior of "match" and "%in%" on GenomicRanges objects to use equality instead of overlap for comparing elements between GenomicRanges objects 'x' and 'table'. - match,GenomicRanges-method gets the same 'method' argumnet as the "duplicated" method for these objects. - Remove unneeded "countOverlaps" methods. - "classNameForDisplay" shortens the name of data type when displayed. - Add global options 'showHeadLines' and 'showTailLines' to control the number of head/tails lines displayed in show,GRanges and show,GappedAlignments methods. - "distanceToNearest" now returns a Hits object instead of DataFrame.

GGtools ------- Changes in version 4.7: - The snplocsDefault() function has been added to simplify appropriate selection of SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP.* to a common value for all usages - The sensanal() function now operates on a sensiCisInput instance to help provide an overview of sensitivity analysis for cis-eQTL searches gmapR ----- Changes in version 1.2.0: NEW FEATURES - New method getSeq,GmapGenome retrieves sequence from a GmapGenome index. This also supports a coercion to DNAStringSet and thus easy export to FASTA via rtracklayer. - bam_tally gains an ignore_duplicates argument for ignoring BAM records flagged as PCR/optical duplicates. - Read position mean and variance are now output by bam_tally. USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - GMAP has been updated to the July '12 version (yes, this is old). - GSTRUCT (bamtally) updated to trunk as of 3/22/13. BUG FIXES - asBam,GsnapOutput now actually works. GOSemSim -------- Changes in version 1.17.1: - update IC data for next release <2013-03-08, Fri> - after removing NA row/col of similarity matrix, if only one row/col remains, R will turn it to be a vector, and combineScore function will not work properly.

GSEABase -------- Changes in version 1.21: SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - GeneSetCollection,*,*,GOCollection-method respects evidenceCode and ontology Gviz ---- Changes in version 1.4.0: NEW FEATURES - BiomartGeneRegionTracks will now make use of the available CDS information in Ensembl. - The constructors to the AnnotationTrack, GeneRegionTrack, DataTrack and SequenceTrack classes now accept a character scalar that points to a file on the file system. A number of default parser functions have been implemented to read the standard file types. Alternatively, a user-defined import function can be provided. This feature also supports streaming from indexed file types like BAM or bigWig, in which case the data is fetched dynamically upon each plotting operation. - The mart object in BiomartGeneRegionTrack objects is now cached in order to speed up subsequent queries to the same mart. - When plotting DataTracks with type 'gradient' or 'heatmap', a color scale is plotted next to the regular y-axis to indicate the mapping of numeric values in the false color range. Thanks to Mark Heron for his code contribution. - Sample names can now be shown in heatmap-type plots by setting the 'showSampleNames' display parameter. SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - Complete refactoring of the automatic font size adjustments to provide more reasonable defaults. - Tick labels on the genomic axis are now show in between tick marks when zoomed in to single nucleotide level. BUG FIXES - Fixed a bug in IdeogramTracks where all bands in the rounded caps at the edges of the Ideogram were missing. - The way genomic ranges are plotted is now according to the Lego block model suggested by Herve. This is only relevant when zooming in to the level of single nucleotides. - Tick labels on the genome axis show only significant digits now. - Sample ordering in heatmap plots is now correct. - Numerous little fixes. GWASTools --------- Changes in version 1.5.9: - assocTestRegression computes allele counts separately for each model. - convertNcdfGds uses information from a SnpAnnotationDataFrame to store allele and chromosome codes in the GDS file. Changes in version 1.5.8: - Adding missing value support to GdsReader. - Fixed bug in getAttribute method for GdsReader. - Updated GdsReader for compatibility with gdsfmt 0.9.11 (no longer compatible with older versions). Changes in version 1.5.7: - Fixed bug in genotypeToCharacter that resulted in calls to getGenotype(char=TRUE) for a single SNP to return NA. - Renamed minorAlleleSensitivitySpecificity to minorAlleleDetectionAccuracy and added additional output. Changes in version 1.5.6: - Added function minorAlleleSensitivitySpecificity. Changes in version 1.5.5: - Deprecated pedigreeClean and pedigreeFindDuplicates. pedigreeCheck now encompasses all pedigree checks and should be used instead. - Added pedigreeMaxUnrelated to find the maximum set of unrelated members of a pedigree. - Added additional output column "MAF" to matrix returned by alleleFrequency. Changes in version 1.5.4: - Removed hard-coding of autosomes as 1:22; can now set a vector of integer codes corresponding to autosomes with "autosomeCode" argument at object creation and retrieve with "autosomeCode" methods. This change makes GWASTools compatible with non-human organisms. - Added option to duplicateDiscordanceAcrossDatasets to count missing data as discordance. - Added option to start axes of genoClusterPlot at 0. Changes in version 1.5.3: - Removed "alleleA.col" and "alleleB.col" options from plink functions, as "alleleA" and "alleleB" are now standard names. - Added "getAlleleA" and "getAlleleB" methods to GdsGenotypeReader. - Added "getDimension" method to NcdfReader.

Error in constructor when the interaction map has a dim = 1 - mapC. Bug fixed in the visualization of two interaction maps of different sizes. The scale was updated, and the annotation tracks is always drawn from the larger map. Changes in version 1.3.2: NEW FEATURES - New visualization for HTClist objects - New methods for HTClist objects - New HTClist class to manage list of HTCexp object (basically Hi-C data) SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - Update of all man pages - Update of the Nora_5C data. E14 and MEF are now HTClist objects - Update of the importC/exportC function. The standard format is now matrix-based. This seems to be the most commonly used format. - Update of all mapC methods. The view parameter is removed. The HTCexp object are now displayed in the triangle view, whereas the HTClist are displayed in the heatmap view Changes in version 1.3.1: NEW FEATURES - MAJOR RELEASE : replace all GenomeIntervals objects by GRanges ones in order to improve the compatibility with other HT BioC packages SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - The ExtractRegion method has a new MARGIN parameter. The idea is the same than for any apply function. If MARGIN is equal to 1 (resp. 2, resp. c(1,2)), the region is extracted from the 'x' (resp. 'y', resp. both) intervals - Plot function. When two HTCexp objects are plot together, only the intersection of the 'x' and 'y' intervals are used. - The 'range' method now returns a GRanges object - Changes in the data windowing for the extreme bins - mapC requires a HTCexp object only. Objects from the matrix class are no longer allowed DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT - seq_name is now deprecated - export and normPerZscore are now defunct BUG FIXES - exportC. Bug fixed in bin coordinates - CQC. Bug fixed with NA values - mapC. Bug fixed in the visualization of annotation features. Select the annotation in the same chromosome space before plotting. - mapC. Bug fixed in the visualization of count values for interchromosomal data hpar ---- Changes in version 1.1.2: - Vignette update for knitr 1.0 compatibility, thanks Dan! <2013-01-15 Tue> Changes in version 1.1.1: - fixing vignette <2012-10-02 Tue> Changes in version 1.1.0: - version bump for new devel <2012-10-01 Mon> HTSeqGenie ---------- Changes in version 3.9.25: - VariantTools "analyzeVariants.indels" are OK Changes in version 3.9.24: - aloow for new quality score range "GATK-rescaled" from 1-50 (33-83 in ASCII) Changes in version 3.9.23: - added the config parameter "analyzeVariants.indels" Changes in version 3.9.22: - removed the dependency towards the "logging" package Changes in version 3.9.21: - variant calling via GATK Changes in version 3.9.20: - preparation to BioC submission - now using detectRRNA.do: FALSE in default-config.txt Changes in version 3.9.19: - removed mc.preschedule=FALSE from mergeBAMsAcrossDirs - added the configuration parameter 'analyzeVariants.method' (GATK check has yet to be done) Changes in version 3.9.18: - now depends on VariantTools 1.1.13 that fixes the mclapply(mc.preschedule=FALSE) bug Changes in version 3.9.17: - added the config parameter 'alignReads.analyzedBam' to control how analyzed.bam are built - removed the former config parameter 'alignReads.analyzed_bamregexp' that could not work on single ends Changes in version 3.9.16: - sessionInfo() is not called anymore in writePreprocessAlignReport() during generation of report, to prevent crash when PACKAGES have been updated while the pipeline is running - sclapply() now uses a 'finally' cleanup procedure to kill all threads it has created - added some unit tests to check that no leftover threads are present after sclapply() in different scenarios Changes in version 3.9.15: - use low lever variant calling interface from VariantTools. This allows for access to the raw_variants as well as the filtered ones/ - variant calling now included in mergeLanes() Changes in version 3.9.14: - added the config parameter "alignReads.use_gmapR_gsnap" to control if gsnap should be called from gmapR or from the PATH - default config parameter "alignReads.use_gmapR_gsnap" is now TRUE - removed the duplicated default config parameters: path.picard_tools, markDuplicates.do - added a check in checkConfig() to stop if some config paramters are duplicated Changes in version 3.9.13: - add variant calling using VariantTools (not yet parallelized yet) Changes in version 3.9.12: - include markDuplicates into runPipeline(), controlled by markDuplicates.do config Changes in version 3.9.11: - refactor setupTestFramework() to allow for injection of TP53 genome template Changes in version 3.9.10: - add function to mark duplicates via picard tools Changes in version 3.9.9: - fixed detectRRNA code, including bug in wrapGsnap - add test for detectRRNA working on tp53 genome Changes in version 3.9.8: - the system command 'samtools' is no used anymore in the code - removed unused functions: indexBAMFiles, filterBam, getReadLengthFromBam, getBamIndexStats - (filterBam will be back in the xenograft module) Changes in version 3.9.7: - works with Biobase 2.18.0 (Bioconductor release 2.11) - fixed the "x is not present in the PATH" bogus message - old gmapR stuffs are now gone: parallelized_gsnap, consolidateSAM, consolidateGsnapOutput, consolidateBAm - now use wrapGsnap, to facilitate the transition to the gsnap offered by gmapR - now depends on gmapR (to load TP53Genome()) Changes in version 3.9.6: - make remaining tests run with TP53 genome - move detectRRNA tests to HTSeqGenie.gne as they depend on IGIS Changes in version 3.9.5: - remove runPipeline tests depending on IGIS. Instead use simple integration test based on TP53 genome. This requried additon of : R/runPipeline.R R/TP53GenomicFeatures.R copied from bioc branch and dependance on gmapR for the TP53Genome Changes in version 3.9.4: - converging with the BioC version: adding @internal keyword - configuration parameter Changes in version 3.9.3: - minor comments (converging with the BioC version...) - checks OK on module apps/ngs_pipeline/dev Changes in version 3.9.2: - removed everything related to calculateJunctionReads, junctionReads (due to the usage of an obsolete newCompressedList in BioC) - checks OK on apps/ngs_pipeline/dev Changes in version 3.9.1: - removed everything related to SNVsOmuc, analyzeVariants, variantConcordance (due to gmapR conflict) - renamed CHANGES into NEWS Changes in version 3.9.0: - strict copy from 3.8.0 htSeqTools ---------- Changes in version 1.5.1: - Fixed bug in enrichedRegions method for RangedDataList objects iPAC ---- Changes in version 1.1.2: - Included get.Remapped.Order() function that displays the reshuffled amino acids after culling. - Set the "AtomCount" column label to display "Can.Count" when the get.Positions function is called to be consistent with the get.AlignedPositions function. - Included a "Plot.Protein.Linear" function that helps visualize the protein rearrangements. - You can now specify the title of your choice to the "Plot.Protein.Linear" function. IRanges ------- Changes in version 1.18.0: NEW FEATURES - Add global options 'showHeadLines' and 'showTailLines' to control the number of head/tails lines displayed by "show" methods for Ranges, DataTable, and Hits objects. - "subset" method for Vector objects now considers metadata columns. - Add classNameForDisplay() generic and use it in all "show" methods defined in IRanges and GenomicRanges. - as(x, "DataFrame") now works on *any* R object. - Add findMatches(), an enhanced version of match() that returns all the matches between 'x' and 'table'. The hits are returned in a Hits object. Also add countMatches() for counting the number of matches in 'table' for each element in 'x'. - Add overlapsAny() as a replacement for %in% (now deprecated on range-based objects), and %over% and %within% as convenience wrappers for overlapsAny(). %over% is the replacement for %in%. - Add 'with.mapping' arg to "reduce" methods for IRanges, Ranges, Views, RangesList, and CompressedIRangesList objects. - Add "order" method for Rle objects. - Add subsetByRanges() generic with methods for ANY, NULL, vector, and IRanges for now. This is work-in-progress and more methods will be added soon. The long term plan is to make this a replacement for seqselect(), but with a faster and cleaner implementation. - Add promoters() generic with methods for Ranges, RangesList, Views, and CompressedIRangesList objects. - elementLengths() now works on XVectorList objects (and thus works on DNAStringSet objects and family defined in the Biostrings package). Note that this is the first step towards having relist() work on XVector objects (e.g. DNAString objects) eventhough this is not ready yet. - Add "mstack" method for DataFrame objects. - Add 'name.var' argument to "stack" method for List objects for naming the optional column formed when the elements themselves have named elements. SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - "distanceToNearest" methods now return a Hits instead of a DataFrame object. - The behavior of distance() has changed. Adjacent and overlapping ranges now return a distance of 0L. See ?distance man page for details. A temporary warning will be emitted by distance() until the release of Bioconductor 2.13. - Change arg list of expand() generic: function(x, ...) instead of function(x, colnames, keepEmptyRows). - Dramatic duplicated() and unique() speedups on CompressedAtomicList objects. - Significant endoapply() speedup on XVectorList objects (this benefits DNAStringSet objects and family defined in the Biostrings package). - 2x speedup to "c" method for CompressedList objects. - classNameForDisplay() strips 'Simple' or 'Compressed', which affects all the "show" methods based on it. So now: > IntegerList(1:4, 2:-3) IntegerList of length 2 [[1]] 1 2 3 4 [[2]] 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 instead of: > IntegerList(1:4, 2:-3) CompressedIntegerList of length 2 [[1]] 1 2 3 4 [[2]] 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 - Optimization of "[<-" method for Rle objects when no indices are selected (just return self). - "stack" method for List objects now creates a factor for the optional name variable. - Evaluating FilterRules now subsets by each filter individually, rather than subsetting by all at the end. - Optimized which() on CompressedLogicalList objects. - All the binary comparison operations (==, <=, etc...) on Ranges objects are now using compare() behind the scene. This makes them slightly faster and also slightly more memory efficient. DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT - %in% is now deprecated on range-based objects. Please use %over% instead. More precisely: - "match" and "%in%" methods that operate on Views, ViewsList, RangesList, or RangedData objects (20 methods in total) are now deprecated. - Behavior of match() and %in% on Ranges objects was changed (and will issue a warning) to use equality instead of overlap for comparing elements between Ranges objects 'x' and 'table'. The old behavior is still available for match() via new 'match.if.overlap' arg that is FALSE by default (the arg will be deprecated in BioC 2.13 and removed in BioC 2.14). - tofactor() is now defunct. - '.ignoreElementMetadata' argument of "c" method for IRanges objects is now defunct. BUG FIXES - Small fix to "unlist" method for CompressedList objects when 'use.names' is TRUE and 'x' is a zero-length named List (the zero-length vector returned in that case was not named, now it is). - "resize" method for Ranges objects now allows zero-length 'fix' when 'x' is zero-length. - Subsetting a Views object now subsets its metadata columns. - Names on the vector-like columns of a DataFrame object are now preserved when calling DataFrame(), or when coercing to DataFrame, or when combining DataFrame objects with rbind(). - relist() now propagates the names on 'skeleton' when returning a SimpleList. - Better argument checking in breakInChunks(). - Fix broken "showAsCell" method for ANY. Now tries to coerce uni-dimensional objects to vector instead of data.frame (which never worked anyway, due to a bug). - Fix long standing bug in "flank" method for Ranges objects: it no longer returns an invalid object when NAs are passed thru the 'width' arg. Now it's an error to try to do so. - Fix issue with some of the "as.env" methods not being able to find the environment of the caller. - Fix bug in "showAsCell" method for AtomicList objects: now returns character(0) instead of NULL on an object of length 0. - sort() now drops NA's when 'na.last=NA' on an Rle object (consistent with base::sort). - table() now handles NA's appropriately on an Rle object. - table() now returns all the levels on a factor-Rle object. - Fix sub-replacement of Rles when using Ranges as the index. - Fix bug in [<- method for DataFrame objects. The fix corrects the way a new column created by a subset assignment is filled. Previously, if the first row was set, say, to '1', all values in the column were set to '1' when they needed to be set to NA (for consistency with data.frame). - Fix bug in compare() (was not returning 0 when comparing a 0-width range to itself). - Fix naming of column when passing an AsIs matrix to DataFrame() -- no more .X suffix. - Fix "rbind" method for DataFrame objects when some columns are matrix objects. isobar ------ Changes in version 1.5.2: - added MSGF+ tsv import [one-line-per-psm format] - refactored various parts of the code (proteinRatios, report-utils, isobar-import) - PTM XLS report: report significance for protein ratio, and peptide ratio Changes in version 1.5.1: - added molecular weight correction to emPAI and dNSAF - added property 'ratiodistr.class.labels': biological variability can be calculated in the report with other labels - improved PDF analysis report: added number of proteins in each section - added location scale family T distribution as biological variability distribution (distr class) and fitTlsd. - better protein PDF analysis report layout. Changes in version 1.5: - Added modules for PTM validation and quantification - Validation - PhosphoRS XML import writers and outpout readers - DeltaScore calculation when the data is provided - Quantification - All quantifications can be done now either on the protein level, peptide level, or modified peptide level. For modified peptide level, supply a matrix with a 'peptide' and 'modif' column to the appropriate functions. - Correction of peptide ratios with protein ratios is possible. Also the variance can be adjusted (assuming no or full correlation) - Report generation - Import PhosphoSitePlus or neXtProt information on modification sites KEGGREST -------- Changes in version 1.0.0: SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - Package introduced. NEW FEATURES - Package introduced. limma ----- Changes in version 3.16.0: - New section in User's Guide on time course experiments with many time points. The RNA-seq case study in User's Guide has also been revised. - Improvements to various help pages including read.maimages.Rd, squeezeVar.Rd, fitFDist.Rd, trigammaInverse.Rd, normalizeRobustSpline.Rd, genas.Rd and roast.Rd. Previously the meaning of source="agilent" was mis-stated in read.maimages.Rd. - New robust method for estimating the empirical Bayes prior, called by specifying robust=TRUE in the call to eBayes(). When this is TRUE the output df.prior is now a vector instead of a scalar. - New function fitFDistRobustly() estimates the parameters of a scaled F-distribution robustly using Winsorized values. Outlier observations receive smaller values for df.prior than non-outliers. This permits robust methods for squeezeVar(), ebayes() and eBayes(), all of which now have a new argument wins.tail.p to specify the tail proportions for Winsorizing. - fitFDist() now permits infinite values for the covariate. It also gracefully handles cases where the covariate takes only a small number of distinct values. Similarly for eBayes() and squeezeVar() that call fitFDist(). - All the functions that perform gene set tests have been revised to make the input and output formats more consistent. roast(), mroast() and camera() are now S3 generic functions, with methods for EList and MAList objects. The order of arguments has been changed for roast(), mroast() and camera() so that the first argument is now y. All functions that perform gene sets now use the argument 'index' to specify which genes are included in the test set. Previously this argument was called 'iset' for roast() and romer() and 'indices' for camera(). camera() and mroast() now produce a data.frames. Instead of separate up and down p-value columns, there is now a two-sided p-value and a column indicating direction of change. There are new columns giving FDR values and the number of genes in each set. There is a new argument 'sort' to indicate whether output results should be sorted by p-value. mroast() has a new argument 'weights' for observational weights, to bring it into line with roast(), - vennDiagram() can now plot up to five sets (previously limited to three). - genas() now optionally draws a plot in which ellipses are used to represent the technical and biological components of correlation. It also now has the ability to automatically select which probes are used for the correlation analysis, and a new argument controls the method used for this selection. - New options for the method argument of propTrueNull(). - New functions vooma() and voomaByGroup() for computing precision weights based on a mean-variance trend. vooma() is similar to voom() but for microarray data instead of RNA-Seq. voomaByGroup() allows different groups to have systematically different variances. - New function predFCm() to compute predictive (shrunk) log fold changes. - New function fitGammaIntercept() for estimating the intercept of a gamma glm with an offset. Used by genas(). - New function zscoreHyper() for computing z-score equivalents of deviates from a hypergeometric distribution. - New function qqf() for qq-plots relative to an F-distribution. - normalizeWithinArrays() with method="robustspline" now longer requires the layout argument to be set. The layout argument for normalizeRobustSpline() now defaults to a single print-tip group. - fitFDist() now coerces degrees of freedom df1 below 1e-15 to zero. - Due to changes in R, loessFit() no longer makes direct calls to foreign language code in the stats package, and instead calls R functions. Unfortunately, this makes loessFit() about 25-30% slower than previously when weights are used. - Bug fix to read.maimages(), which was not accepting source="agilent.mean". - Bug fix for contrasts.fit() when the covariance matrix of the coefficients (cov.coefficients) is not found in the fitted model object. This situation doesn't arise using any of the standard limma analysis pipelines. - Bug fix to lmscFit() when the residual df = 1. - Bug fix to readTargets() to avoid warning message when targets$Label is used to set row names but targets$Label contains duplicated entries.

Bioinformatics (2013) 29(4): 520-522. - rBiopaxParser has been accepted to Bioconductor! http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/rBiopaxParser.h tml - README.md has been updated accordingly with steps to install directly from Bioconductor. - Function selectInstances correctly returns all referenced instances with parameter "includeReferencedInstances=TRUE" now. Changes in version 0.99.6: - Fixed pathway layouting. It broke simarily to: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conduct or/44745 - Function createBiopax can create Biopax Level 3 models now! - Function listInstances was very slow. It is alot faster now with huge databases like Reactome. - Functions pathway2Geneset, pathway2RegulatoryGraph, pathway2AdjacencyMatrix now fully support nested Subpathways and PathwayOrder/PathwaySteps in Biopax Level 2 and Level 3. - Started to integrate RUnit tests for some of my functions. More to come. Changes in version 0.99.5: - Submitted some fixes. colorGraphNodes is finally working (again) using graph and Rgraphviz packages. Changes in version 0.99.3: - We are finally supporting BioPAX level 3 now! All functions (except for getXrefAnnotations) have been updated and work correctly with BioPAX Level 2 and Level 3 objects. Changes in version 0.99.0: - Pushing version number to 0.99.0 according to Bioconductor checklist Changes in version 0.23: - Fixes to documentation. All function documentation is featuring examples now. Changes in version 0.21: - Attention: Major function renaming and restructuring in this version! This unfortunatly leads to incompatibilities with the previous versions due to the renaming. - The variables "instancetype" and "instanceid" have been renamed to "class" and "id". This keeps everyones code shorter and matches general ontology syntax. - Function names of the ever-growing number of convenience functions were a mess and hard to understand. I have taken the time to refactor and consolidate the collection of functions to increase usability and give function(name)s a common structure. This will also serve as a stepping stone to allow biopax level 3 integration. - Functions with names starting "get" were previously being used for all selecting/accessing of data. These functions are now effectively being split up into functions with names "select" and "list". - Functions with prefix "select" return a TRUE/FALSE index vector for the whole biopax internal data.frame. This allows easy combination of select statements via logical & and |. - Functions with prefix "list" return a specific list of IDs or items depending on the function definition. - Functions with prefix "get" return newly created objects or informations about the biopax data.frame or its instance(s). Changes in version 0.15: - Added function createBiopax which creates a new Biopax model from scratch. - Added some more parameter checks. - Added verbosity to writeBiopax since re-exporting the NCI Pathway Interaction Database took almost 15 minutes. - Updated the vignette. Nice pictures, text and more! Changes in version 0.14: - Some more sanity checks added to fix sloppy BioPAX models - Added functions getBiopaxIDsByName, which does as the name suggests, and getXrefAnnotations, which returns all Xref annontations of given Biopax IDs. - Function pathway2RegulatoryGraph now has the optional parameter useIDasNodenames, this causes a regulatory graph to be created with the Biopax IDs used instead of the instance names. - Function plotRegulatoryGraph can be passed logical argument layoutGraph, which can be used to stop the function from re- layouting the graph in case you modified it. - Added a check for BioPAX Levels different from Level 2 and started to build a foundation to enable those too. - Unzipping functionality of downloadBiopaxData only works using Linux. Added checks and instructions for Windows users. Changes in version 0.13: - Added functions removeInstance, removeProperties, addPhysicalEntity, addPhysicalEntityParticipant, addBiochemicalReaction, addControl. - See new examples for modifying a biopax model with R in the short vignette! Changes in version 0.12: - Fixed some documentation and vignette pdfs. Changes in version 0.11: - Set packages RCurl and Rgraphviz from imports to suggests. This means you will not have to have these installed to run most of the commands. However layouting the graphs requires Rgraphviz and downloading data requires RCurl. Changes in version 0.10: - Detailed installation instructions are available now. rBiopaxParser depends on some packages which might be a hassle to install. Check out the README or github front page for instructions! - Provided some more documentation. - Fixed a very embarrassing typo in downloadBiopaxData. Changes in version 0.09: - Provided some more documentation. - getNeighborhood: a function to build a neigborhood graph for molecules Changes in version 0.08: - First version on GitHub! Code still needs some cleaning up but everything works, longer examples comming next! Changes in version 0.06: - Visualization & Layouting added. Check out new functions - layoutRegulatoryBiopaxGraph, plotRegulatoryBiopaxGraph - intersectGraphs, uniteGraphs, diffGraphs Changes in version 0.04: - Building regulatory graphs from biopax model works now! - pathway2adjacancyMatrix, pathway2RegulatoryGraph, Changes in version 0.01: - Parsing works! Alot of thing changing quickly now, still bugs to fix.

These can be paths, connections, or other indications of report destination. - Link generic function provided to build tables/sets of HTML links - Added support for publishing ggbio and recordedplot objects - CSS changed to Twitter Bootstrap - Bugfixes to how NAs are handled when filtering and sorting columns - New methods to handle output from running a glmLRT test in edgeR or nbinomTest in DESeq - DEPRECATED: HTMLReport class is superseded by HTMLReportRef - DEPRECATED: publication of HTMLReportRefs directly to a report (in order to make an index page) is no longer supported. Use the Link function. - DEPRECATED: the page generic is not meaningful for HTMLReportRef objects (not all of which have a corresponding connection) and is deprecated. Use path instead. ReQON ----- Changes in version 1.5.0: BUG FIXES - Some users were receiving errors from hist.default(), which depended on the training region specified. This has been fixed. Rgraphviz --------- Changes in version 2.3: - Fixing bug in Graphviz on OpenBSD regarding sincos (Thanks to Rainer Hurling). - Now using path.expand to fix tilde-expansion. - We no longer include <r_ext rconverters.h="">; which seemingly was not needed (Thanks to Brian D. Ripley). - Fix handling of fontsize attrib for nodes and edges (seems it has been broken at least since 2006). rhdf5 ----- Changes in version 2.4.0: NEW FEATURES - support for reading 64-bit integers added - support for reading variable length strings added - support for reading scalar objects added USER VISIBLE CHANGES - NEWS.Rd added - display of chunksize.pdf as a vignette avoided Risa ---- 1.1.0: 1. The ISAtab-class was extended to include the definition of assay.names, factors, treatments and groups. 2. The previous processAssayXcmsSet method was split into processAssayXcmsSet.1factor and processAssayXcmsSet to consider the first factor only (as it was in the previous definition) or all the factors, respectively. 3. More methods for processing mass spectrometry assays were added: - the method getMSAssayFilenames retrieves a list with the mass spectrometry assay filenames - the method getRawDataFiles retrieves a list with all the files listed under the column 'Raw Spectral Data File' within the mass spectrometry assays. - the method is.ms receives an object from the ISAtab-class and an assay filename as parameter, and retrieves TRUE if the assay filename is a mass spectrometry assay, or FALSE otherwise. 4. A method called suggestBiocPackage was added, which retrieves a list of packages in Bioconductor that might be relevant to the ISAtab dataset, according to its assays' mesaurement and technology types. This method relies on the BiocViews annotations for each of the packages available in Bioconductor in a specific version. 5. Added AssayTab-class and subclasses for MS, Microarray, Seq and NMR. 6. Defined method getAssayRawDataFilenames and getRawDataFilenames 7. Defined method getExpressionSet for microarray assays relying on affy package.

BUG FIXES - completely free razip, bgzip files when done. - sortBam, indexBam fail gracefully on non-BAM input. - headerTabix on an open TabixFile no longer reads the first record - scanBcfHeader provides informative error message when header line ('#CHROM POS ...') is missing Rsubread -------- Changes in version 1.10.0: NEW FEATURES - Rsubread package can now run on Mac OS X operating systems. NEW FEATURES - Major updates to the function 'featureCounts', a general-purpose read summarization function. RTCA ---- Changes in version 2009-07-13: - combineRTCA(list): Additional column is renamed into Plate. The vlues is evaluated from list item names. When the list has no name, an integer index beginning from 1 is used. Special attentions to list partially with names is noted in the documentation. - parseRTCA(file, dec=".",phenoData, skipWell,...): Example is added in the documentation how to import pre-configured phenoData. Details section in the documentation is re-written to describe the process of parsing. - RTCA-class: Experiment ID added to RTCA class - Makefile: add Makefile to simplify common tasks like check and install - plotGridEffect: takes 'column' instead of 'col' as mode parameter, and renders the mode as the title of the legend. Documentation updated. - plotRTCA: is removed from the package and is substituted by the plot function. rtracklayer ----------- Changes in version 1.20: NEW FEATURES - Table query interface supports multiple query ranges. - Files (RTLFile objects) can be directly uploaded to UCSC, via track<-. SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - All methods with asRangedData argument now have it default to FALSE, instead of TRUE. A warning is issued if the argument is missing. Eventually, we will drop all support for RangedData import (export will still work via automatic coercion to GRanges). BUG FIXES - Chromosome list for a genome is now downloaded from the table browser, instead of the Genome Browser page. This supports genomes with more than 1000 contigs. - BEDX+Y formats now work when a track line is present, and the extraCols argument is used for the column names. - path.expand() is now called for paths passed off to the Kent library. - Order of metadata columns upon GFF import no longer depends on LC_COLLATE.

Changes in version 1.2.5: BUG FIXES - annotatePeaks() did not accurately resolve ambiguities in some instances. Changes in version 1.2.4: BUG FIXES - gtf2gr() can now handle gene and transcript IDs with white spaces. Changes in version 1.2.3: NEW FEATURES - All slice methods can now return binned densities of predefined width. NEW FEATURES - The method to bin data can be specified by a new option in plotTV and the slice methods called bin_method. The amount of bins to be returned can be specified by nbins.

This method creates one VCF file from another, using FilterRules. - Enhance show,VCF method with header information. - Stephanie Gogarten added genotypeToSnpMatrix() generic and CollapsedVCF and matrix methods. - Chris Wallace added snpSummary() generic and CollapsedVCF method. - Add cbind and rbind for VCF objects. MODIFICATIONS - writeVcf,connection-method allows writing to console and appending. - writeVcf,connection-method accepts connections with open="a", only adding a header if the file does not already exist. - predictCoding and genotypeToSnpMatrix can now handle ALT as CharacterList. Structural variants are set to empty character (""). - When no INFO data are present in a vcf file, the info() slot is now an empty DataFrame. Previously an empty column named 'INFO' was returned. - Empty VCF class now has an empty VCFHeader - expand,CollapsedVCF-method expands 'geno' data with Number=A. - VCF class accessors "fixed", "info" now return DataFrame instead of GRanges. "rowData" returns fixed fileds as the mcols. - Updates to the vignette. DEPRECATED and DEFUNCT - Deprecate dbSNPFilter() and regionFilter(). - Deprecate MatrixToSnpMatrix(). BUG FIXES - Multiple bugs fixed in "locateVariants". - Multiple bugs fixed in "writeVcf". - Bug fixed in subsetting of VCF objects. - Bug fixed in "predictCoding" related to QUERYID column not mapping back to original indices (rows).

This is based on a power calculation that considers the coverage. - Some functions for estimating concordance between samples have been added; these were developed for sample ID verification and should be considered experimental. - matchVariants() utility for matching variants by pos and alt. USER-VISIBLE CHANGES - The VCF output is now always in expanded form (one alt per row). The AD (allele depth) geno tag contains the REF and ALT counts, while AP (allele present) indicates presence of the REF and/or ALT allele. Besides the DP tag, all other tags were removed. These changes bring VariantTools more in line with GATK. - Control alt and total counts are returned from callSampleSpecificVariants. BUG FIXES - The power cutoff in the sample-specific algorithm was not considering the minimum alt read count filter. wateRmelon ---------- 0.99.16: seabird() no longer takes a vector for the stop argument 0.99.15: temporarily removed dependency on ROCR (and thus gdata) 0.99.14: normalized intensities as well as betas fixed a bug in as.methylumi 0.99.13: 0.99.12: Sentrix IDs should work (thanks to Elodie Portales-Casamar for bug report). 0.99.11: 0.99.10: 0.9.8: new MethyLumiSet method for pfilter RGtoy2 removed from data(minfitoy). This is because minfi now expects the manifest to be a package. swan function patched so that it can process subsets of array data (provided by Jovana Maksimovic). Now works with melon data set. as.methylumi generic function added. Gets fData from package:IlluminaHumanMethylation450k.db . The MethyLumiSet method is useful for ensuring methylumi objects contain this data. Andrew Teschendorff's BMIQ function and a MethyLumiSet method added minfi 1.4.0 has a changed manifest structure resulting in SNP probes being left out of the MethylSet. This breaks genki() for the minfi objects and also the minfitoy data() set. xcms ---- Changes in version 1.35.7: BUG FIXES - fixed indexing bug in group.nearest, which under certain circumstances caused all peaks in the first sample to be ignored (reported by Tony Larson) Changes in version 1.35.6: BUG FIXES - Obiwarp retention time alignment error-ed if scanrange was used as a parameter setting during xcmsSet/peak detection The method now tries to automatically find the set scanrange and uses this range for alignment. Changes in version 1.35.4: NEW FEATURES - Introducing parallel fillPeaks USER VISIBLE CHANGES - Replace snow requirement with minimum R version 2.14.0 Changes in version 1.35.3: BUG FIXES - if group.density was used with very low minfrac settings (< 0.5) it did not return all feature groups, but only those that include features from at least 50% of samples in a group. This limitation was removed. Changes in version 1.35.2: UPDATED FEATURES - Behind the scenes xcms now uses the xcmsSource class to read raw data. This allows e.g. to write a class that pulls raw data from e.g. a database BUG FIXES - massifquant: simplified logic structure of Tracker::claimDataIdx resolved failure on new test case. - massifquant: reporting features data structure compatible with multiple sample comparison within XCMS. Changes in version 1.35.1: UPDATED FEATURES - The mzData export is now much faster and uses less memory xps --- Changes in version 2.16: VERSION xps-1.19.10 - update XPSSchemes.cxx to correct possible memory error in TString array names[i] VERSION xps-1.19.9 - update README VERSION xps-1.19.8 - replace .path.package() with path.package() VERSION xps-1.19.7 - update XPSSchemes.cxx to replace error with warning for missing annotation header '%genome-species' VERSION xps-1.19.2 - 6 - update configure.win and Makefile.win for ROOT compiled with MinGW; xps works now on Windows 7 VERSION xps-1.19.1 - update Import..Annotation() methods in XPSchemes.cxx to protect against tabs in Affymetrix annotation files - update script4schemes.R to include schemes with annotation na33 Packages removed from the release ================================= The following packages are no longer in the release: cosmo, cosmoGUI, gene2pathway

Dear All, Although our Subread read aligner and Subjunc junction detector have been around for a while, we have just got them published on Nucleic Acids Research today. Subread and Subjunc employ a novel read mapping paradigm called "seed- and-vote" to achieve a fast mapping speed and a high mapping accuracy. It takes Subread less than 20 minutes to map 10 million 100bp reads using one thread. Its running time remains nearly the same when mapping longer reads thanks to the high scalability of the seed-and- vote paradigm. Subread and Subjunc can be used to map reads generated from all major sequencing platforms including Illumina GA/HiSeq, Roche 454, ABI SOLiD and Ion Torrent. The Rsubread package provides access functions, called 'align' and 'subjunc', respectively, for Subread and Subjunc. This package also includes other useful functions such as quality assessment ('qualityScores'), read summarization ('featureCounts') and absolute expression calling ('detectionCall'), providing an integrated toolkit for processing gDNA and RNA sequencing data. The Rsubread package in the latest Bioc release (2.12) can be run on both Linux/unix and Mac computers. Our paper for Subread and Subjunc can be freely accessed at: http://na r.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/04/03/nar.gkt214.abstract Hope you found them useful.
