THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Software tools for modeling genetic ancestry based on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information. This package of functions helps the user account for genetic ancestry of a large number of individuals using spectral graph theory and projections to break a large problem into smaller pieces and calculate genetic ancestry information efficiently, i.e., a divide and conquer (dac) strategy. It is completely written in R and runs on any platform that supports R.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/sRAP.html

Software package that provides a pipeline for gene expression analysis (primarily for RNA-Seq data). The normalization function is specific for RNA-Seq analysis, but all other functions (Quality Control Figures, Differential Expression and Visualization, and Functional Enrichment via BD-Func) will work with any type of gene expression data.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SCAN.UPC.html

A microarray normalization software (SCAN) to facilitate personalized-medicine workflows with an extension (UPC) that estimates whether a given gene/transcript is active above background levels in a given sample. Rather than processing microarray samples as groups, which can introduce biases and present logistical challenges, SCAN normalizes each sample individually by modeling and removing probe- and array-specific background noise using only data from within each array. SCAN can be applied to one-channel (e.g., Affymetrix) or two-channel (e.g., Agilent) microarrays. The UPC method can be applied to one-channel or two-channel microarrays as well as to RNA-Seq read counts. Because UPC values are represented on the same scale and have an identical interpretation for each platform, they can be used for cross-platform data integration. A

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/snm.html

Software package that uses a modeling strategy especially designed for normalizing high-throughput genomic data. The premise is that your data is a function of study-specific variables which are either biological variables that represent the target of the statistical analysis, or adjustment variables that represent factors arising from the experimental or biological setting the data is drawn from. The SNM approach aims to simultaneously model all study-specific variables in order to more accurately characterize the biological or clinical variables of interest.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/gprege.html

Software R package for Gaussian Process Ranking and Estimation of Gene Expression time-series. The software fits two Gaussian processes (GPs) with an radial basis function (RBF) (+ noise diagonal) kernel on each profile. One GP kernel is initialized wih a short lengthscale hyperparameter, signal variance as the observed variance and a zero noise variance. It is optimized via scaled conjugate gradients (netlab). A second GP has fixed hyperparameters: zero inverse-width, zero signal variance and noise variance as the observed variance. The log-ratio of marginal likelihoods of the two hypotheses acts as a score of differential expression for the profile. Comparison via receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves) is performed against Bayesian hierarchical model for the analysis of time-series (BATS) (Angelini et.al, 2007).

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/mdqc.html

A multivariate quality assessment software for microarrays based on quality control (QC) reports. The Mahalanobis distance of an array's quality attributes is used to measure the similarity of the quality of that array against the quality of the other arrays. Then, arrays with unusually high distances can be flagged as potentially low-quality.
