Modern Statistics with R

LEGE — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 04:44:06 -0500

This is the online version of the second edition of Modern Statistics with R. It is free to use, and always will be. Printed copies are available from CRC Press.

Live online courses on statistics with R based on this book, led by the author, are offered regularly; see this page for more information and dates.

The past decades have transformed the world of statistical data analysis, with new methods, new types of data, and new computational tools. The aim of Modern Statistics with R is to introduce you to key parts of the modern statistical toolkit. It teaches you:

Data wrangling - importing, formatting, reshaping, merging, and filtering data in R.
Exploratory data analysis - using visualisations and multivariate techniques to explore datasets.
Statistical inference - modern methods for testing hypotheses and computing confidence intervals.
Predictive modelling - regression models and machine learning methods for prediction, classification, and forecasting.
Simulation - using simulation techniques for sample size computations and evaluations of statistical methods.
Ethics in statistics - ethical issues and good statistical practice.
R programming - writing code that is fast, readable, and (hopefully!) free from bugs.

The book includes plenty of examples and more than 200 exercises with worked solutions. The datasets used for the examples and the exercises can be downloaded here.

PaReBrick: PArallel REarrangements and BReaks identification toolkit

Jit — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 10:20:03 -0500

PaReBrick. The tool takes a collection of strains represented as a sequence of oriented synteny blocks and a phylogenetic tree as input data. It identifies rearrangements, tests them for consistency with a tree, and sorts the events by their parallelism score. The tool provides diagrams of the neighbors for each block of interest, allowing the detection of horizontally transferred blocks or their extra copies and the inversions in which copied blocks are involved.We demonstrated PaReBrick’s efficiency and accuracy and showed its potential to detect genome rearrangements responsible for pathogenicity and adaptation in bacterial genomes

Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) tutorial

Neel — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 15:16:23 -0500

The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) from the Broad Center allows you to view several types of data files involved in any NGS analysis that employs a reference genome, including how reads from a dataset are mapped, gene annotations, and predicted genetic variants.

MEDEA: Comparative Genomic Visualization with Adobe Flash

Jit — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 12:15:16 -0500

As the number of sequence and annotated genomes grows larger, the need to understand, compare, and contrast the data becomes increasingly important. Using the power of the human visual system to detect trends and spot outliers is necessary in such large and complex data sets.

Fancy Oneliner for Bioinformatics !!

Poonam Mahapatra — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:05:50 -0500

This webpage lists some of the one-liners that we frequently use in metagenomic analyses. You can click on the following links to browse through different topics. You can copy/paste the commands as they are in your terminal screen, provided you follow the same naming conventions and folder structures as we have. We are sharing these codes with the intention that if they are useful and help you in your analyses, then we will be appropriately credited as considerable effort has been put into devising them.

Krona

Jit — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 04:47:35 -0500

Krona allows hierarchical data to be explored with zooming, multi-layered pie charts. Krona charts can be created using an Excel template or KronaTools, which includes support for several bioinformatics tools and raw data formats. The interactive charts are self-contained and can be viewed with any modern web browser (see Browser support).

GMOL: An Interactive Tool for 3D Genome Structure Visualization

Jit — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 12:25:20 -0500

GMOL was developed based upon our multi-scale approach that allows a user to scale between six separate levels within the genome. With GMOL, a user can choose any unit at any scale and scale it up or down to visualize its structure and retrieve corresponding genome sequences.

D-GENIES: A tool for Dotplot large Genomes in an Interactive, Efficient and Simple way

Jit — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 09:41:22 -0500

D-GENIES – for Dotplot large Genomes in an Interactive, Efficient and Simple way – is an online tool designed to compare two genomes. It supports large genome and you can interact with the dot plot to improve the visualisation. We use minimap version 2 to align the two genomes. Then, the PAF file is parsed and plotted into an interactive plot written with d3.js library. D-Genies also allows to display dot plots from other aligners by uploading their PAF or MAF alignment file. http://dgenies.toulouse.inra.fr/

Osprey: Network Visualization System

BioJoker — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 05:34:24 -0600

Osprey is a software platform for the visualization of complex biological interaction networks. Osprey builds data-rich graphical representations from Gene Ontology (GO) annotated interaction data maintained by the BioGRID.

Osprey is developed by the TyersLab and is a part of the BioGRID family of software. It utilizes both MySQL and Java to operate and is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Apple operating systems.

These works were published in Breitkreutz, BJ., Stark, C., Tyers M. "Osprey: A Network Visualization System." Genome Biology 2003 4(3):R22 [Genome Biology] [PDF] [PubMed] and supported by the National Institutes of Health, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and Genome Canada.
