ADaCGH2

Changes in version 2.1.3 (2010-10-06):

  • Rmpi in “Enhances”, not “Suggests”, to allow for R CMD check in Mac and Windows.

Changes in version 2.1.2 (2010-10-04):

  • rsprng no longer in depends; L’Ecuyer as default random number generator.

  • Using R’s registration mechanism for C routines.

  • Decreased size of example to speed up R CMD check.

  • SOCK is default cluster, and Rmpi not loaded by us.

Changes in version 2.1.1 (2010-09-30):

  • Output to CGHregions and input from limma and snapCGH. Changes in functions, help, vignnette.

  • Can also use rlecuyer.

  • Works with R-2.11 (adapted to differences in “inherits”).

Changes in version 2.1.0 (2010-09-23):

  • First fully working version for BioC. Versioning changed!

Changes in version 1.3.3 (2011-10-19):

  • Added more “Sys.sleep” to see if we can get it not to crash in Windoze.

Changes in version 1.3.2 (2011-10-18):

  • Added unloading of rlecuyer, to prevent problems with cleanEx during R CMD check.

Changes in version 1.2.1 (2011-06-06):

  • Changed “if” in stop.na.inf, as per Dundan Murdoch’s suggestion.

affxparser

Changes in version 1.25.1 (2011-09-27):

  • Maintainer email was updated.

Changes in version 1.25.0 (2011-04-13):

  • The version number was bumped for the Bioconductor devel version.

AnnotationFuncs

Changes in version 1.3:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Added function ‘getOrthologs’ and auxcillary functions that speeds up ortholog mappings in the Inparanoid databases.

  • Added parameter ‘simple’ to ‘translate’ for improved usage with lapply.

aroma.light

Changes in version 1.21.2 (2011-10-10):

  • Updated robustSmoothSpline() such that it works with the new “uniqueness” scheme of smooth.spline() in R v2.14.0 and newer. It is tricky, because robustSmoothSpline() is a reiterative algorithm which requires that the choosen “unique” x:s does not change in each iteration. Previously, ‘signif(x, 6)’ was used to identify unique x:s, which gives the same set of values when called twice, whereas this is not true for the new choice with ‘round((x - mean(x))/tol)’.

Changes in version 1.21.1 (2011-06-26):

  • Added argument ‘aspectRatio’ to plotMvsA(). It can be used to adjust the range of the ‘Mlim’ argument relative to the ‘Alim’ argument.

Changes in version 1.21.0 (2011-04-13):

  • The version number was bumped for the Bioconductor devel version.

  • Added automatic fixing of reference .fai index, namely duplicated chromosome entries

  • Added automatic detection of quality scale where possible

  • Added and option to specify quality scale for custom experiments

  • Performed performance and memory optimization

  • Added memory monitoring

BUG FIXES

  • Fixes to accommodate changes in Ensembl interfaces, required for preparation of reference and annotation data.

  • Fixes to accommodate changes in ENA interfaces, required for querying metadata & downloading datasets for ArrayExpress experiments.

  • Fixed examples in prepareReference help page

  • Mapping of bead-level ArrayAddress IDs to Illumina IDs is now performed by loading a companion annotation package. e.g. illuminaHumanv3.db

  • The addFeatureData function has been added to simplify the annotation of summary data objects

  • The ggplot2 library is now used to produce boxplots of summary data with the option of including columns of featureData or phenoData as factors in the plot

  • The combinedControlPlot has been added, which uses ggplot2 to consolidate the bead-level control plots into a single graphic

  • BASH and HULK can now only operate on a single array at a time and accept an outlier-calling method as a parameter

OTHER CHANGES

  • The imageplot function now uses ggplot2

  • Accessor functions added for metrics, P95 value and signal-to-noise ratio

  • Errors in BASH that led to the einvasions and dinvasions arguments not being respected have been corrected

  • lower-level BASH functions (e.g. BASHDiffuse) will no longer calculate a Neighbours matrix if one is not supplied (ergo one must be supplied)

  • beadarray used to have problems if no outlier removal method were set in summarization (important if the outliers have already been removed by Illumina’s scanner software). The function noOutlierMethod is provided to address this

  • findAllOutliersE and findAllOutliersIgnore are to be deprecated, used internally by BASH have been removed

Changes in version 2.3:

NEW FEATURES

BUG FIXES in 2.3.2

  • readBeadLevelTextFile will now take (and use) a seperator argument.

  • locs information correctly taken from a bab file if required. This effects functions such as generateNeighbours(), BASH(), HULK(), imageplot()

BUG FIXES in 2.3.1

  • Image processing functions can now be passed matrices containing either integer or numeric values.

  • Passed forceIScan argument to functions called by readIllumina()

BeadDataPackR

Changes in version 1.5:

BUG FIXES

  • Beads with negative coordinates can now be included in the bab file

  • If overlapping segments are found a warning is printed and the full locs index is used.

  • Added Help pages

  • Added data and extdata for the examples

edgeR

Changes in version 2.4.0:

NEW FEATURES

  • New function spliceVariants for detecting alternative exon usage from exon-level count data.

  • A choice of rejection regions is now implemented for exactTest, and the default is changed from one based on small probabilities to one based on doubling the smaller of the tail probabilities. This gives better results than the original conditional test when the dispersion is large (especially > 1). A Beta distribution approximation to the tail probability is also implemented when the counts are large, allowing exactTest() to be much faster and use less memory.

  • exactTest now uses tagwise.dispersion by default if found in the object.

  • estimateCRDisp is removed. It is now replaced by estimateGLMCommonDisp, estimateGLMTrendedDisp and estimateGLMTagwiseDisp.

  • Changes to glmFit so that it automatically detects dispersion estimates if in data object. It uses tagwise if available, then trended, then common.

  • Add getPriorN() to calculate the weight given to the common parameter likelihood in order to smooth (or stabilize) the dispersion estimates. Used as default for estimateTagwiseDisp and estimateGLMTagwiseDisp.

  • New function cutWithMinN used in binning methods.

  • glmFit now S3 generic function, and glmFit has new method argument specifying fitting algorithm.

  • DGEGLM objects now subsettable.

  • plotMDS.dge is retired, instead a DGEList method is now defined for plotMDS in the limma package. One advantage is that the plot can be repeated with different graphical parameters without recomputing the distances. The MDS method is also now much faster.

  • Add as.data.frame method for TopTags objects.

  • New function cpm to calculate counts per million conveniently.

  • Adding args to dispCoxReidInterpolateTagwise to give more access to tuning parameters.

  • estimateGLMTagwiseDisp now uses trended.dispersion by default if trended.dispersion is found.

  • Change to glmLRT to ensure character coefficient argument will work.

  • Change to maPlot so that any really extreme logFCs are brought back to a more reasonable scale.

  • estimateGLMCommonDisp now returns NA when there are no residual df rather than returning dispersion of zero.

  • The trend computation of the local common likelihood in dispCoxReidInterpolateTagwise is now based on moving averages rather than lowess.

  • Changes to binGLMDispersion to allow trended dispersion for data sets with small numbers of genes, but with extra warnings.

BUG FIXES

  • dispDeviance and dispPearson now give graceful estimates and messages when the dispersion is outside the specified interval.

  • Bug fix to mglmOneWay, which was confusing parametrizations when the design matrix included negative values.

  • mglmOneWay (and hence glmFit) no longer produces NA coefficients when some of the fitted values were exactly zero.

  • Changes to offset behaviour in estimateGLMCommonDisp, estimateGLMTrendedDisp and estimateGLMTagwiseDisp to fix bug. Changes to several other functions on the way to fixing bugs when computing dispersions in data sets with genes that have all zero counts.

  • Bug fix to mglmSimple with matrix offset.

  • Bug fix to adjustedProfLik when there are fitted values exactly at zero for one or more groups.

fabia

Changes in version 2.0.0:

NEW FEATURES

  • spfabia: fabia for a sparse data matrix (in sparse matrix format) and sparse vector/matrix computations in the code to speed up computations. spfabia applications: (a) detecting >identity by descent< in next generation sequencing data with rare variants, (b) detecting >shared haplotypes< in disease studies based on next generation sequencing data with rare variants

  • fabia for non-negative factorization (parameter: non_negative)

  • changed to C and removed dependencies to Rcpp

  • improved update for lambda (alpha should be smaller, e.g. 0.03)

  • introduced maximal number of row elements (lL)

  • introduced cycle bL when upper bounds nL or lL are effective

  • reduced computational complexity

BUG FIXES

  • update formula for lambda: tighter approximation

  • corrected inverse of the conditional covariance matrix of z

flowFP

  • We now require that length of sampleClasses be the same as the number of instances in the flowFP object. The documentation indicated that, but the code didn’t enforce it.

  • Fixed a bug regarding setting sampleClasses for a flowFPPlex. It erroneously assigned classes to only the first member of the plex.

  • Setting sampleClasses for a fp or a pled to NULL or to a zero-length factor now results in removing sampleClasses from the fp or plex.

  • Cleaned up documentation for flowFP-class and flowFPPlex-class.

flowWorkspace

  • 0.6.0 This version supports importing of flowJo XML workspaces generated using, up to version 9.2 of the Mac OS X version of flowJo. We do not yet support workpsaces generated using the windows version of flowJo.

FEATURES:

-import flowJo XML workspace from the Mac version. (Greg Finak)

-convert GatingHierarchy objects to workflows. (Mike Jiang)

-export workflows to flowJo XML workspace readable by Mac version of flowJo (Mose Andre)

-netCDF support for large data sets. Based on code contributed by Nisat Gopalakrishnan.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • export to flowJo - flowWorkspace will export the correct compensation matrices, but they will need to apply manually via the menu items in flowJo.

  • Navigating between graphs of populations is buggy.

  • export expects to receive a workflow that contains a compensation view and a transformation view as the first two actions in the workflow.

  • import from flowJ - we may not support all gating configurations. The parsing code was written based on examples. If your workspace is not being imported correctly, contact the authors. If your workspace is not being imported correctly because it’s generated by flowJo for windows, it is not supported. Are you sure you’re trying to import the XML workspace and not the .jo or .wsp file?

  • flowJo 8.2 for MAC. - XML has some differences and there may be issues importing workspaces into R. We have resolved those bugs that we’ve found but we have not had the opportunity for extensive testing with this version.

  • speed - import can slow for very large workspaces with many gates.

  • This version supports importing of flowJo XML workspaces generated using, up to version 9.2 of the Mac OS X version of flowJo. We do not yet support workpsaces generated using the windows version of flowJo.

geneplotter

Changes in version 1.31.4:

USER VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Using NEWS.Rd

  • The interpretation of the argument bw by the function multidensity has been changed with the aim to make the behaviour more robust when the data ranges or sample sizes of the groups are quite different. Also, to allow more control, bw can now also be a vector, with elements corresponding to the different groups.

GenomicFeatures

Changes in version 1.6:

NEW FEATURES

  • TranscriptDbs are now available as standard packages. Functions that were made available before the last release allow users to create these packages.

  • TranscriptDb objects now can be used with select

  • select method for TranscriptDb objects to extract data.frames of available annotations. Users can specify keys, along with the keytype, and the columns of data that they want extracted from the annotation package.

  • keys now will operate on TranscriptDB objects to expose ID types as potential keys

  • keytypes will show which kinds of IDs can be used as a key by select

  • cols will display the kinds of data that can be extracted by select

  • isActiveSeq has been added to allow entire chromosomes to be toggled active/inactive by the user. By default, everything is exposed, but if you wish you can now easily hide everything that you don’t want to see. Subsequence to this, all your accessors will behave as if only the “active” things are present in the database.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • saveDb and loadDb are here and will be replacing saveFeatures and loadFeatures. The reason for the name change is that they dispatch on (and should work with a wider range of object types than just trancriptDb objects (and their associated databases).

BUG FIXES

  • ORDER BY clause has been added to SQL statements to enforce more consistent ordering of returned rows.

  • bug fixes to enable DB construction to still work even after changes in schemas etc at UCSC, and ensembl sources.

  • bug fixes to makeFeatureDbFromUCSC allow it to work more reliably (it was being a little too optimistic about what UCSC would actually supply data for)

GenomicRanges

Changes in version 1.6.0:

NEW FEATURES

  • seqlevels() and seqinfo() setters have a new arg (‘force’, default is FALSE) to force dropping sequence levels currently in use.

  • Seqinfo objects now have a genome column that can be accessed with genome() getter/setter.

  • “pgap” method for c(x=”GRanges”, y=”GRanges”).

  • Add comparison (==, <=, duplicated, unique, etc…) and ordering (order, sort, rank) methods for GenomicRanges objects.

  • Add “flank” method for GRangesList objects.

  • Add “isDisjoint” and “restrict” methods for GRanges and GRangesList objects.

  • Add GRangesList constructor makeGRangesListFromFeatureFragments().

  • Add “names” and “names<-“ methods for GappedAlignments objects.

  • Add ‘ignore.strand’ arg to a number of methods: - findOverlaps,GRangesList,RangesList - findOverlaps,GappedAlignments,ANY - findOverlaps,ANY,GappedAlignments

  • ‘shift’ and ‘weight’ arguments of “coverage” method for GenomicRanges objects now can be numeric vectors in addition to lists.

  • Add “c” method for GappedAlignments objects.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • readGappedAlignments() supports 2 new arguments: (1) ‘use.names’ (default is FALSE) for using the query template names (QNAME field in a SAM/BAM file) to set the names of the returned object, and (2) ‘param’ (default is NULL, otherwise a ScanBamParam object) for controlling what fields and which records are imported. readGappedAlignments() doesn’t support the ‘which’ arg anymore.

  • The names of a GRanges/GRangesList/GappedAlignments object are not required to be unique anymore.

  • By default, the rownames are not set anymore on the DataFrame returned by elementMetadata() on a GRanges/GRangesList/GappedAlignments object.

  • ‘width’ arg of “coverage” method for GenomicRanges objects now must be NULL or numeric vector (instead of NULL or list).

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • Deprecate countGenomicOverlaps() in favor of summarizeOverlaps().

  • Deprecate grg() in favor of granges().

BUG FIXES

  • Fix bug in “pintersect” methods operating on GappedAlignments objects.

genoset

1.0.0

  • Object creation at user level changed so that GenoSet, BAFSet, and CNSet functions all call an internal input checker and object generator function initGenoSet rather than having GenoSet() create all 3 objects using a “type” arg.

  • Segmentation functions now return DataFrame objects containing one Rle vector per sample. These give the same effect of having big matrices with repeated data matching the dimensions of the un-segmented data, but are considerably smaller. For a dataset of ~1k SNP6 arrays, the data in the lrr matrix is about 0.8% of the size using this strategy. In all regards, these can be treated as just another matrix in assayData, but in special cases it is useful to take advantage of the data in its runValue and runLength form.

  • New methods defined for DataFrame to allow usage as assayData element: colMeans annotatedDataFrameFrom

  • Methods that get genome information from a GenoSet now work on RangedData too. RangedData and GenoSet now share some API to make this easier. RangedData gets chr and pos, GenoSet gets names, ranges, and elementLengths. Now chrInfo, chrIndices, genoPos, etc. can work on either object type.

  • pos and genoPos now defined as floor of mean of start and end positions.

1.0.6

  • Substantial speed improvements for boundingIndices() and rangeSampleMeans.

1.1.7

  • Added loadGC function to get local GC content and version bump for bioC2.9

1.1.8

  • genomeOrder becomes toGenomeOrder which now takes and returns a GenoSet or RangedData rather than just returning the index to reorder such objects. locData<- now reorders the whole GenoSet and assures that all of the featureNames match.

1.1.9

  • Added support for big.matrix objects from bigmemory as assayDataElements

1.1.10

  • API Change list operator “[[” no longer used to subset by chromosome. It reverts back to extracting a column from pData like other eSets. chrIndices gains a “chr” argument that serves as a fast way to get the indices needed to subset rows by chromosome.

1.1.11

  • API Addition “k” argument to “[” can be used to subset from a specific assayDataElement. Numeric and character “k”s are allowed. assayDataElement(ds,k)[i,j] is the same as ds[i,j,k], but “i” can be a RangedData or RangesList.

1.1.12

  • assayDataElements can be integer matrices with levels that will serve as factors for now. Please see the help for convertToBigMatrix.

GOSemSim

  • Changed call to parallel to multicore::parallel to avoid confusion with other packages

Changes in version 0.2.5:

  • Added arguments maxRepeats and ppOverAmp to filterDuplReads to allow it to eliminate reads appearing more than k times (before only k=1 was allowed), or with a large posterior probability of being an artifact

  • Added ppEnrichedCounts function

  • Modified enrichedRegions to make it compatible with new IRanges version

  • Added cmds function to perform MultiDimensional Scaling on sequencing data

  • Exact P-value calculation in enrichedRegions is now based on Fisher’s exact test, instead of simulations, to increase speed. Changed parameters simulate.p.value and B for exact.

  • Chi-square P-value calculation in enrichedRegions is now substantially faster (reduced to about 25% of previous implementation)

  • enrichedRegions now selects regions with pval <= pvalFilter, instead of pval < pvalFilter. This allows to obtain all regions by setting pvalFilter=1.

  • enrichedRegions now returns reads per kilobase per million (RPKM), as well as raw counts

  • Corrected enrichedRegions fold change calculation. Now it is (counts1/nsample1)/(counts2/nsample2) instead of (counts1/(nsample1-counts1))/(counts2/(nsample2-counts2))

  • Reduced substantially the amount of memory required by rangesPlot

Changes in version 0.2.3:

  • Fixed issue in enrichedRegions which caused it to return an object with too many spaces

  • Added function tabDuplReads

  • Fixed bug in filterDuplReads for RangedData signature which caused it to filter two reads from different chromosomes which had the same start and end positions

  • Added extendRanges and filterDuplReads methods for RangedDataList objects. Added mc.cores argument to allow for parallel computing.

  • Added export2SGR method for RangedDataList objects.

  • export2SGR now uses ‘coverage’ function instead of ‘pileup’, as the latter has been deprecated

  • Added export2aligned method for RangedDataList objects. Added argument dir.

  • alignPeaks now returns an object of the same class as its input, instead of always returning IRangesList objects.

  • Added alignPeaks method for RangedDataList objects, and parameter mc.cores to allow parallel computation.

  • Major change in readAlignedBatch. Sequences from all files are now returned into a single RangedDataList object. Files are not directly saved to disk as in previous versions.

  • Fixed bug in rangesPlot which caused it to plot reads longer than maxFragLength twice

  • Fixed bug in genePlot which caused an error for genes with a single exon

  • Added PeakLocation function. It produces the same plots as stdPeakLocation except that it doesn’t standardize the coordinates.

  • Added p-value adjustment in enrichedRegions. Defined methods for the case when sample2 is missing.

  • readAlignedBatch now checks for the existence of the files, and returns a warning if they don’t.

  • Added listOverlap function, which allows to assess the overlap between lists e.g. two ChIP-seq experiments, or ChIP-Seq vs microarray results.

  • Corrected bug in alignPeaks which could cause sequences to start at negative indexes.

Changes in version 0.2.1:

  • Added closestGene method for signature ‘RangedData’.

  • Added enrichedPeaks function to detect peaks in sequencing experiments.

  • Added enrichedRegions function to detect significantly enriched regions in sequencing experiments.

  • closestGene modified: After bioC upgrade parameter multiple stoped working due to findOverlaps function that deprecated Overlaps function (which was used in previous versions).

  • closestGene: Some rbinds have been removed and do.call is used insted to use less memory.

  • closestGene: Better control of downloaded refflat files has been added.

  • closestGene: new parameter added (promoterInOther). If it’s TRUE peaks that are in a promoter region and inside other gene will be assigned to both genes. Only works when multiple=TRUE.

Changes in version 0.2.0:

  • Fixed bug in alignPeaks which caused it not to work when there were some chromosomes with no sequences. Also, now alignPeaks reports the estimated shift.

  • readAlignedBatch deletes memory consuming objects after they have been saved to disk. This lowers memory requirements.

  • readAlignedBatch forces the chromosome names to start by ‘chr’, to ensure compatibility with external softwares.

  • Added vignette

  • Added Rd file for alignPeaks

  • Added export2aligned, export2SGR and rangesPlot methods for RangedData and RangedDataList objects.

Changes in version 0.1.1:

  • closestGene now uses findOverlaps function instead of the deprecated ‘overlap’.

  • Converted rangesPlot function to S4. Added methods for character, IRanges and IRangesList.

  • Converted genePlot function to S4. Added methods for IRanges, IRangesList and CompressedIRangesList objects (additionally to the already existing one for character).

  • Added alignPeaks function to align the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ reads in ChipSeq experiments

  • Now readAlignedBatch returns a RangeDataList object for single end experiments instead of an IRangesList. This allows to store the strand information, which could not be done with the IRangesList object.

  • Added export2aligned method for ‘IRanges’ objects

  • Added ‘paired’ option in readAlignedBatch

  • Changed default type=’Bowtie’ in readAlignedBatch

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • Views and RleViewsList classes don’t derive from IRanges and IRangesList classes anymore.

  • When used on a List or a list, togroup() now returns an integer vector (instead of a factor) for consistency with what it does on other objects (e.g. on a Partitioning object).

  • Move compact() generic from Biostrings to IRanges.

  • Drop deprecated ‘multiple’ argument from “findOverlaps” methods.

  • Drop deprecated ‘start’ and ‘symmetric’ arguments from “resize” method for Ranges objects.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • Deprecate all coercion methods from AtomicList to atomic vectors. Those methods were unlisting the object, which can still be done with unlist().

  • Deprecate the Binning class.

  • Remove defunct overlap() and countOverlap().

BUG FIXES

  • Fix ‘relist(IRanges(), IRangesList())’.

  • Fix ‘rep.int(Rle(), integer(0))’.

  • Fix some long-standing issues with the XIntegerViews code (better handling of “out of limits” or empty views, overflows, NAs).

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  • ScanBamParam argument ‘what’ defaults to character(0) (nothing) rather than scanBamWhat() (everything)

  • bamFlag returns a user-friendly description of flags by default

BUG FIXES

  • Added some ‘drop=FALSE’ in plotSpectra function.

  • Calls to ‘pdf’ are now followed by ‘on.exit(dev.off())’ to make sure that the device is closed after unexpected errors or user interruption.

Changes in version 1.8.2:

BUG FIXES

  • Change GUI message to a more suitable one.

  • ‘FAMEoutliers’ failed if only one sample was analyzed.

  • ‘ProfileCleanUP’ accepts a minPairObs parameter like ‘Profile’

  • The parameter minPairObs is now checked so that cannot take a value lower than 5 in ‘sampleRI’, ‘Profile’, and ‘ProfileCleanUP’ functions.

TEQC

Changes in version 2.0.0:

  • new function ‘TEQCreport’ creates an html report with standard TEQC analysis results

  • besides bed files, now also BAM files can be used as input for ‘get.reads’

  • ‘get.reads’ and ‘get.targets’ now only read the columns required for the analysis from the respective bed files

  • when read IDs include ‘#0/1’ and ‘#0/2’ (to indicate read 1 and read 2 of a pair), those characters will be removed from the IDs within ‘get.reads’. The reason is that in ‘reads2pairs’ the two IDs of a read pair have to be identical.

  • the package now depends on packages Rsamtools and hwriter

  • ‘chrom.barplot’,’ fraction.reads.target’, ‘insert.size.hist’, and ‘duplicates.barplot’ now also can deal with with ‘reads2pairs’ output having the two elements ‘singleReads’ and ‘readpairs’

Changes in version 1.1.2:

  • bug fix in ‘coverage.target’ and ‘coverage.GC’ (in very large datasets, global coverage average and standard deviation were not calculated)

Changes in version 1.1.0:
