BASiCS:Bayesian Analysis of Single-Cell Sequencing data

Single-cell mRNA sequencing can uncover novel cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression levels in seemingly homogeneous populations of cells. However, these experiments are prone to high levels of technical noise, creating new challenges for identifying genes that show genuine heterogeneous expression within the population of cells under study. BASiCS (Bayesian Analysis of Single-Cell Sequencing data) is an integrated Bayesian hierarchical model to perform statistical analyses of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets in the context of supervised experiments (where the groups of cells of interest are known a priori, e.g. experimental conditions or cell types). BASiCS performs built-in data normalisation (global scaling) and technical noise quantification (based on spike-in genes). BASiCS provides an intuitive detection criterion for highly (or lowly) variable genes within a single group of cells. Additionally, BASiCS can compare gene expression patterns between two or more pre-specified groups of cells. Unlike traditional differential expression tools, BASiCS quantifies changes in expression that lie beyond comparisons of means, also allowing the study of changes in cell-to-cell heterogeneity. The latter can be quantified via a biological over-dispersion parameter that measures the excess of variability that is observed with respect to Poisson sampling noise, after normalisation and technical noise removal. Due to the strong mean/over-dispersion confounding that is typically observed for scRNA-seq datasets, BASiCS also tests for changes in residual over-dispersion, defined by residual values with respect to a global mean/over-dispersion trend.

mulea:Enrichment Analysis Using Multiple Ontologies and False Discovery Rate

Background - Traditional gene set enrichment analyses are typically limited to a few ontologies and do not account for the interdependence of gene sets or terms, resulting in overcorrected p-values. To address these challenges, we introduce mulea, an R package offering comprehensive overrepresentation and functional enrichment analysis. Results - mulea employs a progressive empirical false discovery rate (eFDR) method, specifically designed for interconnected biological data, to accurately identify significant terms within diverse ontologies. mulea expands beyond traditional tools by incorporating a wide range of ontologies, encompassing Gene Ontology, pathways, regulatory elements, genomic locations, and protein domains. This flexibility enables researchers to tailor enrichment analysis to their specific questions, such as identifying enriched transcriptional regulators in gene expression data or overrepresented protein domains in protein sets. To facilitate seamless analysis, mulea provides gene sets (in standardised GMT format) for 27 model organisms, covering 22 ontology types from 16 databases and various identifiers resulting in almost 900 files. Additionally, the muleaData ExperimentData Bioconductor package simplifies access to these pre-defined ontologies. Finally, mulea's architecture allows for easy integration of user-defined ontologies, or GMT files from external sources (e.g., MSigDB or Enrichr), expanding its applicability across diverse research areas. Conclusions - mulea is distributed as a CRAN R package. It offers researchers a powerful and flexible toolkit for functional enrichment analysis, addressing limitations of traditional tools with its progressive eFDR and by supporting a variety of ontologies. Overall, mulea fosters the exploration of diverse biological questions across various model organisms.

ViSEAGO:ViSEAGO: a Bioconductor package for clustering biological functions using Gene Ontology and semantic similarity

The main objective of ViSEAGO package is to carry out a data mining of biological functions and establish links between genes involved in the study. We developed ViSEAGO in R to facilitate functional Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of complex experimental design with multiple comparisons of interest. It allows to study large-scale datasets together and visualize GO profiles to capture biological knowledge. The acronym stands for three major concepts of the analysis: Visualization, Semantic similarity and Enrichment Analysis of Gene Ontology. It provides access to the last current GO annotations, which are retrieved from one of NCBI EntrezGene, Ensembl or Uniprot databases for several species. Using available R packages and novel developments, ViSEAGO extends classical functional GO analysis to focus on functional coherence by aggregating closely related biological themes while studying multiple datasets at once. It provides both a synthetic and detailed view using interactive functionalities respecting the GO graph structure and ensuring functional coherence supplied by semantic similarity. ViSEAGO has been successfully applied on several datasets from different species with a variety of biological questions. Results can be easily shared between bioinformaticians and biologists, enhancing reporting capabilities while maintaining reproducibility.
