Bead-based signal normalization and cross-batch harmonization for CyTOF and high-parameter cytometry - EQ four-element bead normalization of instrument sensitivity drift (CATALYST normCytof, premessa), and reference-anchor cross-batch normalization (CytoNorm, per-cluster quantile splines). Covers the distinction between within-run drift correction and between-batch correction, the mandatory anchor/reference sample, why normalization is per-cluster with many quantiles, and the over-correction risk. Use when correcting CyTOF signal drift, harmonizing multi-batch or multi-site studies, or deciding whether to normalize data versus model batch in the design.

Normalizes and transforms RNA-seq count matrices for DE, visualization, clustering, and ML. Covers between-sample (TMM, TMMwsp, RLE/median-of-ratios, upper quartile), within-sample (TPM, FPKM/RPKM), variance-stabilizing (VST, rlog, log-CPM), GC-content correction (cqn, EDASeq), and single-cell (scran deconvolution, scanpy normalize_total). Encodes the composition-bias rationale, the "most genes not DE" assumption and its catastrophic failure modes (MYC amplification, apoptosis, viral host shutoff, prokaryotic stress), the "lengthScaledTPM is not TPM" naming trap, the "TPM is not for DE" rule, the blind=TRUE vs FALSE decision, ERCC spike-in normalization (SBN), and the single-cell zero-inflation breakdown of TMM/RLE. Use when choosing or applying normalization, debugging shifted-MA-plot diagnostics, handling zero-heavy single-cell data, or correcting GC bias.

Quantifies biodiversity from species abundance/incidence tables using Hill numbers (iNEXT) with coverage-based rarefaction-extrapolation (Chao & Jost 2012), asymptotic richness via Chao1/ACE/jackknife as a lower bound, Baselga turnover/nestedness partition with the Podani alternative as sensitivity check, mandatory Hellinger transformation before ordination (Legendre & Gallagher 2001), Faith PD and SES_MPD/SES_MNTD with explicit null-model choice, and Maire 2015 functional-diversity dimensionality optimization. Use when comparing diversity across sites with unequal sampling effort, picking the right richness estimator for singleton-heavy amplicon data, partitioning beta diversity into turnover vs nestedness, reporting Hill-number effective species counts rather than raw entropies, computing SES_MPD with explicit null-model justification, or deciding whether to apply standard metrics to compositional amplicon data. Not for clinical 16S microbiome diversity (see microbiome/diversity-analysis).

Infers person-to-person transmission from pathogen genomes using outbreaker2 (Campbell 2018), TransPhylo (Didelot 2017), phybreak (Klinkenberg 2017), BadTrIP (De Maio 2018), SCOTTI (De Maio 2016), BEASTLIER (Hall 2015), and SNP-distance / cluster-picker approaches (HIV-TRACE for HIV; transcluster). Defines outbreak clusters using pathogen-specific SNP thresholds (NOT a universal cutoff -- TB <=12 SNPs / Walker 2013; MRSA <=15 / Coll 2017; C. difficile <=2 / Eyre 2013; Klebsiella <=21 / Snitkin 2012), models within-host diversity and transmission bottlenecks (Worby-Lipsitch-Hanage 2014; McCrone 2018; Sobel Leonard 2017; Lythgoe 2021 SARS-CoV-2), integrates contact-tracing data, distinguishes generation interval from serial interval (Britton & Scalia Tomba 2019; Ali 2020), attributes source via Bayesian source attribution (Mather 2013 DT104; islandR), and reconciles transmission-network reconstruction with epi metadata. Use when investigating outbreaks for who-infected-whom, defining SNP-cluster outbreak definitions, accounting for unsampled intermediates, choosing between outbreaker2 (rich epi data) and TransPhylo (genomic-only after dated phylogeny), running source attribution between host populations, calling HIV-TRACE thresholds appropriate to the local subtype, or distinguishing recent transmission from reactivation in TB / chronic HIV.

Corrects fluorophore spillover (conventional compensation) or spectral overlap (spectral unmixing) and applies variance-stabilizing transforms (logicle/biexponential, arcsinh, log) for flow and mass cytometry. Covers spillover-matrix estimation from single-stain controls, AutoSpill, the spillover spreading matrix and why panel design (not compensation) bounds resolution, compensate-then-transform ordering, and arcsinh cofactor choice (5 for CyTOF, ~150 for fluorescence, per-channel via flowVS). Use when correcting spectral overlap, preparing data for gating/clustering, choosing logicle vs arcsinh, deciding a cofactor, or distinguishing compensation from spectral unmixing.

Covers Pangolin pangolin-data version pinning (mandatory for reproducibility), Nextclade dataset versioning (lineage-defining mutations change with dataset), Freyja barcode forward-only date constraint, ARTIC primer scheme version churn (V3 / V4 / V4.1 / V5.3.2 / Midnight 1200) with documented dropout regions, recombinant X-prefix Pango designation lag, GISAID vs INSDC dual-deposition tensions, and the Karthikeyan 2022 wastewater early-detection signal with explicit reproducibility caveats.

Calls m6A peaks from MeRIP-seq / m6A-seq paired IP-vs-input data using exomePeak2 (transcript-aware, GC-bias-corrected Poisson GLM; Liu 2022 *NAR Genom Bioinform* 4:lqac046), MeTPeak (HMM over sliding windows; Cui 2016 *Bioinformatics* 32:i378), MACS3 / MACS2 with --nomodel --broad --keep-dup all (genome-wide broad alternative), and DRACH motif enrichment confirmation via HOMER or ggseqlogo as a sanity check (NOT a filter). Covers BED12 vs narrowPeak output formats, exonic vs intronic peak handling, multi-tool reconciliation (intersection vs union; cross-caller IDR-equivalent), the m6A-vs-m6Am ambiguity at 5'UTR peaks that antibody-based methods cannot resolve, and orthogonal-validation routes (miCLIP / GLORI / m6A-SAC-seq / m6Anet). Use when calling peaks from paired IP/input genome BAMs, choosing exomePeak2 (transcript-aware default) vs MACS3 (broad genomic) vs MeTPeak (HMM-smoothed low-coverage), confirming DRACH enrichment as a sanity check on the peak set as a whole, reconciling differing peak sets across tools, validating MeRIP peaks against orthogonal single-base methods, interpreting peaks at the 5' end where m6Am contamination is possible, or recommending a multi-tool consensus strategy.

Use when calling m6A from ONT DRS without immunoprecipitation, choosing m6Anet vs xPore vs Nanocompore vs ELIGOS vs Dorado native, interpreting per-site `probability_modified` vs `mod_ratio` vs per-read modification probabilities, comparing methylation between conditions from ONT data, deciding between m6Anet for known DRACH sites and Dorado/Remora for genome-wide screening, pinning RNA002 vs RNA004 chemistry and basecaller model versions, or troubleshooting eventalign / dataprep failures.

Use when comparing distributions across a small number of groups — expression per cluster, biomarker per arm, scores per condition — and the bar-of-mean default is misleading.
