StructuRly: A novel shiny app to produce comprehensive, detailed and interactive plots for population genetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Population genetics focuses on the analysis of genetic differences within and between-group of individuals and the inference of the populations' structure. These analyses are usually carried out using Bayesian clustering or maximum likelihood estimation algorithms that assign individuals to a given population depending on specific genetic patterns. Although several tools were developed to perform population genetics analysis, their standard graphical outputs may not be sufficiently informative for users lacking interactivity and complete information. StructuRly aims to resolve this problem by offering a complete environment for population analysis. In particular, StructuRly combines the statistical power of the R language with the friendly interfaces implemented using the shiny libraries to provide a novel tool for performing population clustering, evaluating several genetic indexes, and comparing results. Moreover, graphical representations are interactive and can be easily personalized. StructuRly is available either as R package on GitHub, with detailed information for its installation and use and as shinyapps.io servers for those users who are not familiar with R and the RStudio IDE. The application has been tested on Linux, macOS and Windows operative systems and can be launched as a shiny app in every web browser.

ShinyAIM: Shiny-based application of interactive Manhattan plots for longitudinal genome-wide association studies.

Project description:Owning to advancements in sensor-based, non-destructive phenotyping platforms, researchers are increasingly collecting data with higher temporal resolution. These phenotypes collected over several time points are cataloged as longitudinal traits and used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Longitudinal GWAS typically yield a large number of output files, posing a significant challenge to data interpretation and visualization. Efficient, dynamic, and integrative data visualization tools are essential for the interpretation of longitudinal GWAS results for biologists; however, these tools are not widely available to the community. We have developed a flexible and user-friendly Shiny-based online application, ShinyAIM, to dynamically view and interpret temporal GWAS results. The main features of the application include (a) interactive Manhattan plots for single time points, (b) a grid plot to view Manhattan plots for all time points simultaneously, (c) dynamic scatter plots for p-value-filtered selected markers to investigate co-localized genomic regions across time points, (d) and interactive phenotypic data visualization to capture variation and trends in phenotypes. The application is written entirely in the R language and can be used with limited programming experience. ShinyAIM is deployed online as a Shiny web server application at https://chikudaisei.shinyapps.io/shinyaim/, enabling easy access for users without installation. The application can also be launched on a local machine in RStudio.

shinyChromosome: An R/Shiny Application for Interactive Creation of Non-circular Plots of Whole Genomes.

Project description:Non-circular plots of whole genomes are natural representations of genomic data aligned along all chromosomes. Currently, there is no specialized graphical user interface (GUI) designed to produce non-circular whole genome diagrams, and the use of existing tools requires considerable coding effort from users. Moreover, such tools also require improvement, including the addition of new functionalities. To address these issues, we developed a new R/Shiny application, named shinyChromosome, as a GUI for the interactive creation of non-circular whole genome diagrams. shinyChromosome can be easily installed on personal computers for own use as well as on local or public servers for community use. Publication-quality images can be readily generated and annotated from user input using diverse widgets. shinyChromosome is deployed at http://150.109.59.144:3838/shinyChromosome/, http://shinyChromosome.ncpgr.cn, and https://yimingyu.shinyapps.io/shinyChromosome for online use. The source code and manual of shinyChromosome are freely available at https://github.com/venyao/shinyChromosome.

HiCeekR: A Novel Shiny App for Hi-C Data Analysis.

Project description:The High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C) technique combines the power of the Next Generation Sequencing technologies with chromosome conformation capture approach to study the 3D chromatin organization at the genome-wide scale. Although such a technique is quite recent, many tools are already available for pre-processing and analyzing Hi-C data, allowing to identify chromatin loops, topological associating domains and A/B compartments. However, only a few of them provide an exhaustive analysis pipeline or allow to easily integrate and visualize other omic layers. Moreover, most of the available tools are designed for expert users, who have great confidence with command-line applications. In this paper, we present HiCeekR (https://github.com/lucidif/HiCeekR), a novel R Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows researchers to easily perform a complete Hi-C data analysis. With the aid of the Shiny libraries, it integrates several R/Bioconductor packages for Hi-C data analysis and visualization, guiding the user during the entire process. Here, we describe its architecture and functionalities, then illustrate its capabilities using a publicly available dataset.

ranacapa: An R package and Shiny web app to explore environmental DNA data with exploratory statistics and interactive visualizations.

Project description:Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is becoming a core tool in ecology and conservation biology, and is being used in a growing number of education, biodiversity monitoring, and public outreach programs in which professional research scientists engage community partners in primary research. Results from eDNA analyses can engage and educate natural resource managers, students, community scientists, and naturalists, but without significant training in bioinformatics, it can be difficult for this diverse audience to interact with eDNA results. Here we present the R package ranacapa, at the core of which is a Shiny web app that helps perform exploratory biodiversity analyses and visualizations of eDNA results. The app requires a taxonomy-by-sample matrix and a simple metadata file with descriptive information about each sample. The app enables users to explore the data with interactive figures and presents results from simple community ecology analyses. We demonstrate the value of ranacapa to two groups of community partners engaging with eDNA metabarcoding results.

DepLink: an R Shiny app to systematically link genetic and pharmacologic dependencies of cancer.

Project description:MotivationLarge-scale genetic and pharmacologic dependency maps are generated to reveal genetic vulnerabilities and drug sensitivities of cancer. However, user-friendly software is needed to systematically link such maps.ResultsHere, we present DepLink, a web server to identify genetic and pharmacologic perturbations that induce similar effects on cell viability or molecular changes. DepLink integrates heterogeneous datasets of genome-wide CRISPR loss-of-function screens, high-throughput pharmacologic screens and gene expression signatures of perturbations. The datasets are systematically connected by four complementary modules tailored for different query scenarios. It allows users to search for potential inhibitors that target a gene (Module 1) or multiple genes (Module 2), mechanisms of action of a known drug (Module 3) and drugs with similar biochemical features to an investigational compound (Module 4). We performed a validation analysis to confirm the capability of our tool to link the effects of drug treatments to knockouts of the drug's annotated target genes. By querying with a demonstrating example of CDK6, the tool identified well-studied inhibitor drugs, novel synergistic gene and drug partners and insights into an investigational drug. In summary, DepLink enables easy navigation, visualization and linkage of rapidly evolving cancer dependency maps.Availability and implementationThe DepLink web server, demonstrating examples and detailed user manual are available at https://shiny.crc.pitt.edu/deplink/.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics Advances online.

LFSPROShiny: an interactive R/Shiny app for prediction and visualization of cancer risks in families with deleterious germline <i>TP53</i> mutations.

Project description:PurposeLFSPRO is an R library that implements risk prediction models for Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a genetic disorder characterized by deleterious germline mutations in the TP53 gene. To facilitate the use of these models in clinics, we developed LFSPROShiny, an interactive R/Shiny interface of LFSPRO that allows genetic counselors (GCs) to perform risk predictions without any programming components, and further visualize the risk profiles of their patients to aid the decision-making process.MethodsLFSPROShiny implements two models that have been validated on multiple LFS patient cohorts: a competing-risk model that predicts cancer-specific risks for the first primary, and a recurrent-event model that predicts the risk of a second primary tumor. Starting with a visualization template, we keep regular contact with GCs, who ran LFSPROShiny in their counseling sessions, to collect feedback and discuss potential improvement. Upon receiving the family history as input, LFSPROShiny renders the family into a pedigree, and displays the risk estimates of the family members in a tabular format. The software offers interactive overlaid side-by-side bar charts for visualization of the patients' cancer risks relative to the general population.ResultsWe walk through a detailed example to illustrate how GCs can run LFSPROShiny in clinics, from data preparation to downstream analyses and interpretation of results with an emphasis on the utilities that LFSPROShiny provides to aid decision making.ConclusionSince Dec 2021, we have applied LFSPROShiny to over 100 families from counseling sessions at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Our study suggests that software tools with easy-to-use interfaces are crucial for the dissemination of risk prediction models in clinical settings, hence serving as a guideline for future development of similar models.

MatrixQCvis: shiny-based interactive data quality exploration for omics data.

Project description:MotivationFirst-line data quality assessment and exploratory data analysis are integral parts of any data analysis workflow. In high-throughput quantitative omics experiments (e.g. transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics), after initial processing, the data are typically presented as a matrix of numbers (feature IDs × samples). Efficient and standardized data quality metrics calculation and visualization are key to track the within-experiment quality of these rectangular data types and to guarantee for high-quality datasets and subsequent biological question-driven inference.ResultsWe present MatrixQCvis, which provides interactive visualization of data quality metrics at the per-sample and per-feature level using R's shiny framework. It provides efficient and standardized ways to analyze data quality of quantitative omics data types that come in a matrix-like format (features IDs × samples). MatrixQCvis builds upon the Bioconductor SummarizedExperiment S4 class and thus facilitates the integration into existing workflows.Availability and implementationMatrixQCVis is implemented in R. It is available via Bioconductor and released under the GPL v3.0 license.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
