The SIFTDb class is a container for storing a connection to a SIFT sqlite database.
SIFT is a sequence homology-based tool that sorts intolerant from tolerant amino acid substitutions and predicts whether an amino acid substitution in a protein will have a phenotypic effect. SIFT is based on the premise that protein evolution is correlated with protein function. Positions important for function should be conserved in an alignment of the protein family, whereas unimportant positions should appear diverse in an alignment.
SIFT uses multiple alignment information to predict tolerated and deleterious substitutions for every position of the query sequence. The procedure can be outlined in the following steps,
search for similar sequences
choose closely related sequences that may share similar function to the query sequence
obtain the alignment of the chosen sequences
calculate normalized probabilities for all possible substitutions from the alignment.
Positions with normalized probabilities less than 0.05 are predicted to be deleterious, those greater than or equal to 0.05 are predicted to be tolerated.
In the code below, x
is a SIFTDb
object.
metadata(x)
:
Returns x
's metadata in a data frame.
columns(x)
:
Returns the names of the columns
that can be used to subset the
data columns.
keys(x)
:
Returns the names of the keys
that can be used to subset the
data rows. The keys
values are the rsid's.
select(x, keys = NULL, columns = NULL, ...)
:
Returns a subset of data defined by the character vectors keys
and columns
. If no keys
are supplied, all rows are
returned. If no columns
are supplied, all columns
are returned. For column descriptions see ?SIFTDbColumns
.
