	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are many R software and bioconductor packages for NGS data analysis, some of them are as follows</p><h3><a name="TOC-Biostrings" id="TOC-Biostrings"></a>Biostrings</h3><p>The Biostrings package from Bioconductor provides an advanced environment for efficient sequence management and analysis in R. It contains many speed and memory effective string containers, string matching algorithms, and other utilities, for fast manipulation of large sets of biological sequences. The objects and functions provided by Biostrings form the basis for many other sequence analysis packages. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/Biostrings.html">Documentation</a></p><div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="color: #000000;"><h4><a name="TOC-IRanges-Overview" id="TOC-IRanges-Overview"></a>IRanges Overview</h4><p>IRanges provides the low-level infrastructure and containers for handling sets of integer ranges within Bioconductor's BioC-Seq domain. Its classes and methods provide support for many more high-level packages like GenomicRanges, ShortRead, Rsamtools, etc. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/IRanges.html">Documentation</a></p><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><h4><a name="TOC-GenomicRanges-Overview" id="TOC-GenomicRanges-Overview"></a>GenomicRanges Overview</h4><p>The <em>GenomicRanges</em> package serves as the foundation for representing genomic locations within the Bioconductor project. It is built upon the <em>IRanges</em> infrastructure and defines three major data containers - <em>GRanges, GRangesList</em> and <em>GappedAlignments</em> - which are supporting other important BioC-Seq packages including <em>ShortRead, Rsamtools, rtracklayer, GenomicFeatures</em> and <em>BSgenome</em>.&nbsp; Compared to the IRanges container, the GRanges/<em>GRangesList</em> classes are more flexible and extensible to store additional information about sequence ranges, such as chromosome identifiers (sequence space), strand information and annotation data. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GenomicRanges.html">Documentation</a></p></div></div></div></div><h3><a name="TOC-Motif-Discovery" id="TOC-Motif-Discovery"></a>Motif Discovery</h3><h4><a name="TOC-cosmo" id="TOC-cosmo"></a>cosmo</h4><p>The cosmo package allows to search a set of unaligned DNA sequences for a shared motif that may function as transcription factor binding site. The algorithm extends the popular motif discovery tool MEME (Bailey and Elkan, 1995) in that it allows the search to be supervised by specifying a set of constraints that the motif to be discovered must satisfy. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/cosmo.html">Documentation</a></p></div><div>
<p><span></span><span></span></p>
<div style="color: #0000ff;"><h4><a name="TOC-BCRANK" id="TOC-BCRANK"></a>BCRANK</h4><p>BCRANK is a method that takes a ranked list of genomic regions as input and outputs short DNA sequences that are overrepresented in some part of the list. The algorithm was developed for detecting transcription factor (TF) binding sites in a large number of enriched regions from high-throughput ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq experiments, but it can be applied to any ranked list of DNA sequences.

While support is provided for many sequencing technologies, this package is primairly focused on Solexa/Illumina reads. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ShortRead.html">Documentation</a></p><h3><a name="TOC-Rsamtools" id="TOC-Rsamtools"></a>Rsamtools</h3><p>Rsamtools provides functions for parsing and inspecting samtools BAM formatted binary alignment data.

BSgenome packages exist for many common genomes, and can be created to represent custom genomes. See the "How to forge a BSgenome data package" Vignette for instructions to create a new BSgenome package if a prebuilt package does not exist for your organism. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/BSgenome.html">Documentation</a></p><h3><a name="TOC-rtracklayer" id="TOC-rtracklayer"></a>rtracklayer</h3><p>rtracklayer provides an interface for exporting annotation feature data to various genome browsers and file formats (such as GFF).

The package enables online retrieval of large amounts of data in a uniform way without the need to know the underlying database schemas. This data is retrieved automatically via the Internet, so it's recommended that you cache the data locally, or check versions if your code will be adversely affected by updates to these data. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/biomaRt.html">Documentation</a></p><h3><a name="TOC-ChIP-Seq-Analysis-Packages" id="TOC-ChIP-Seq-Analysis-Packages"></a>ChIP-Seq Analysis Packages</h3><p>Bioconductor provides various packages for analyzing and visualizing ChIP-Seq data.

Additional useful introductions to this topic are: <a href="http://www.bioconductor.org/workshops/2009/SeattleJan09/ChIP-seq/">BioC ChIP-seq Case Study</a> and BioC <a href="http://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/2009/SeattleNov09/ChIP-seq/">ChIP-Seq</a>.</p><h4><a name="TOC-chipseq" id="TOC-chipseq"></a>chipseq</h4><p>The chipseq package combines a variety of HT-Seq packages to a pipeline for ChIP-Seq data analysis. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/chipseq.html">Documentation</a></p><h4><a name="TOC-BayesPeak" id="TOC-BayesPeak"></a>BayesPeak</h4><p>BayesPeak is a peak calling package for identifying DNA binding sites of proteins in ChIP-Seq experiments. Its algorithm uses hidden Markov models (HMM) and Bayesian statistical methods. The following sample code introduces the identification of peaks with the BayesPeak package as well as the incorporation of read coverage information obtained by the chipseq package. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/BayesPeak.html">Documentation</a> [ <a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/10/299">Publication</a> ]</p><h4><a name="TOC-PICS" id="TOC-PICS"></a>PICS</h4><p>The PICS package applies probabilistic inference to aligned-read ChIP-Seq data in order to identify regions bound by transcription factors. PICS identifies enriched regions by modeling local concentrations of directional reads, and uses DNA fragment length prior information to discriminate closely adjacent binding events via a Bayesian hierarchical t-mixture model. The following sample code uses the test data set from the above BayesPeak package in order to compare the results from both methods by identifying their consensus peak set. <a href="http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/PICS.html">Documentation</a> [ <a href="http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=20528864">Publication</a> ]</p><h4><a name="TOC-ChIPpeakAnno" id="TOC-ChIPpeakAnno"></a>ChIPpeakAnno</h4><p>The ChIPpeakAnno package provides. batch annotation of the peaks identified from either ChIP-seq or ChIP-chip experiments.
