http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/CNVassoc/
Software package that carries out association analysis of common copy number variants in population-based studies. It includes functions for analysing association under a series of study designs (case-control, cohort, etc), using several dependent variables (class status, censored data, counts) as response, adjusting for covariates and considering various inheritance models. It also includes functions for inferring copy number (CNV genotype calling). Various classes and methods for generic functions (print, summary, plot, anova, ... ) have been created to facilitate the analysis.

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ptw/
Software that aligns patterns, i.e. it aims to put corresponding features at the same locations. The algorithm searches for an optimal polynomial describing the warping. It is possible to align one sample to a reference, several samples to the same reference, or several samples to several references. One can choose between calculating individual warpings, or one global warping for a set of samples and one reference. Two optimization criteria are implemented: RMS (Root Mean Square error) and WCC (Weighted Cross Correlation).

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ggbio.html
An R package for extending the grammar of graphics for genomic data. The graphics are designed to answer common scientific questions, in particular those often asked of high throughput genomics data. All core Bioconductor data structures are supported, where appropriate. The package supports detailed views of particular genomic regions, as well as genome-wide overviews. Supported overviews include ideograms and grand linear views. High-level plots include sequence fragment length, edge-linked interval to data view, mismatch pileup, and several splicing summaries.

http://primerseq.sourceforge.net/
Software that designs RT-PCR primers that evaluate alternative splicing events by incorporating RNA-Seq data. It is particularly advantageous for designing a large number of primers for validating alternative splicing events found in RNA-Seq data. It incorporates RNA-Seq data in the design process to weight exons by their read counts. Essentially, the RNA-Seq data allows primers to be placed using actually expressed transcripts. This could be for a particular cell line or experimental condition, rather than using annotations that incorporate transcripts that are not expressed for the data. Alternatively, you can design primers that are always on constitutive exons. PrimerSeq does not limit the use of gene annotations and can be used for a wide array of species.

An R package designed to simulate RNA sequencing experiments with differential transcript expression. Given a set of annotated transcripts, it will simulate the steps of an RNA-seq experiment (fragmentation, reverse-complementing, and sequencing) and produce files containing simulated RNA-seq reads. Simulated reads can be analyzed using a choice of downstream analysis tools. Polyester has a built-in wrapper function to simulate a case/control experiment with differential transcript expression and biological replicates. Users are able to set the levels of differential expression at transcripts of their choosing. This means they know which transcripts are differentially expressed in the simulated dataset, so accuracy of statistical methods for differential expression detection can be analyzed. Polyester offers several unique features: * Built-in functionality to simulate differential expression at the transcript level * Ability to explicitly set differential expression signal strength * Simulation of small datasets, since large RNA-seq datasets can require lots of time and computing resources to analyze * Generation of raw RNA-seq reads, as opposed to alignments or transcript-level abundance estimates * Transparency/open-source code

http://www.omicsoft.com/fusionmap/
An efficient fusion aligner which aligns reads spanning fusion junctions directly to the genome without prior knowledge of potential fusion regions. It detects and characterizes fusion junctions at base-pair resolution. FusionMap can be applied to detect fusion junctions in both single- and paired-end dataset from either gDNA-Seq or RNA-Seq studies. FusionMap runs under both Windows and Linux (requiring MONO) environments. Although it can run on 32 bit machine, it is recommended to run on 64-bit machine with 8GB RAM or more. If you have an ArrayStudio License, you can run the fusion detection easily through its GUI.

A software package that allows for inference about the structure of a population from a set of short sequence reads as obtained from ultra-deep sequencing of a mixed sample. The package contains programs that support mapping of reads to a reference genome, correcting sequencing errors by locally clustering reads in small windows of the alignment, reconstructing a minimal set of global haplotypes that explain the reads, and estimating the frequencies of the inferred haplotypes.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/DMRforPairs.html
Software for identifying differentially methylated regions between unique samples using array based methylation profiles. It allows researchers to compare n greater than or equal to 2 unique samples with regard to their methylation profile. The (pairwise) comparison of n unique single samples distinguishesit from other existing pipelines as these often compare groups of samples in either single CpG locus or region based analysis. DMRforPairs defines regions of interest as genomic ranges with sufficient probes located in close proximity to each other. Probes in one region are optionally annotated to the same functional class(es). Differential methylation is evaluated by comparing the methylation values within each region between individual samples and (if the difference is sufficiently large), testing this difference formally for statistical significance.
