aucScores-class: Class to store the AUC scores for RcisTarget.

In RcisTarget: RcisTarget: Identify transcription factor binding motifs enriched on a gene list

Description

Contains the AUC scores for each gene- or region-set. They can be accessed through getAUC() and the regular methods (i.e. nrow, rownames... ) available for SummarizedExperiment objects.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'aucScores'
show(object)

## S4 method for signature 'aucScores'
getAUC(object)

Arguments

object

Results from calcAUC.

Value

• show: Prints a summary of the object

• getAUC: Returns the matrix containing the AUC scores

Examples

# Setup & previous steps in the workflow:

#### Gene sets
# As example, the package includes an Hypoxia gene set:
txtFile <- paste(file.path(system.file('examples', package='RcisTarget')),
                 "hypoxiaGeneSet.txt", sep="/")
geneLists <- list(hypoxia=read.table(txtFile, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)[,1])

#### Databases
## Motif rankings: Select according to organism and distance around TSS
## (See the vignette for URLs to download)
# motifRankings <- importRankings("hg19-500bp-upstream-7species.mc9nr.feather")

## For this example we will use a SUBSET of the ranking/motif databases:
library(RcisTarget.hg19.motifDBs.cisbpOnly.500bp)
data(hg19_500bpUpstream_motifRanking_cispbOnly)
motifRankings <- hg19_500bpUpstream_motifRanking_cispbOnly

## Motif - TF annotation:
data(motifAnnotations_hgnc) # human TFs (for motif collection 9)
motifAnnotation <- motifAnnotations_hgnc

### Run RcisTarget
# Step 1. Calculate AUC
motifs_AUC <- calcAUC(geneLists, motifRankings)

# Subsetting and regular manipulation methods are also available:

motifs_AUC[,3:4]
