In GOCompare: Comprehensive GO Terms Comparison Between Species

Undirected network representation for the results of functional enrichment analysis for one species

Description

graphGOspecies is a function to create undirected graphs using two options: \loadmathjax

Categories option:

The nodes \mjseqn(V) represent groups of gene lists (categories), and the edges \mjseqn(E) represent GO terms co-occurring between pairs of categories. More specifically, Two categories: \mjseqnu,v \epsilon V are connected by an edge \mjseqne=(u,v).the edge weights \mjseqnw(e) are defined as the ratio of the number of GO terms co-occurring between two categories. Edge weights w(e) are defined as the ratio of the number of GO terms (e.g. biological processes) co-occurring between two categories \mjseqnBP_u \ n BP_v compared to the total number of GO terms available. A node weight \mjseqnK_w(u) is defined as the sum of the edge weights where the node u is a participant. Thus, the node weight represents how frequently GO terms are reported and expressed in a biological phenomenon.

\mjsdeqn

w(e) = \frac\mid BP_u n BP_v\mid\mid BP\mid (1)

\mjsdeqn

K_w = \sum_v \epsilon Vw(u,v) (2)

GO option:

The nodes \mjseqnV represent GO terms and the edges \mjseqnE' represent categories where a pair of GO terms co-occur. More specifically, two GO terms are connected by an edge \mjseqne'=(u,v'). the edge weight \mjseqnw'(e') corresponds to the number of categories co-occurring the GO terms \mjseqnu and \mjseqnv',compared with the total number of GO terms (Equation 3). A node weight \mjseqnK'_w(u') is defined,in this case the weight represents the importance of a GO term (more frequent co-occurring).(Please be patient, it requires a long time to finish).

\mjsdeqn

w'(e')=\frac\midCu'\cap Cv'\mid\mid BP \mid (3)

\mjsdeqn

K'_w(u')=\sum_v'\epsilon V'w'(u',v') (4)

Usage

graphGOspecies(
  df,
  GOterm_field,
  option = "Categories",
  numCores = 2,
  saveGraph = FALSE,
  outdir = NULL,
  filename = NULL
)

Arguments

df	A data frame with the results of a functional enrichment analysis for a species with an extra column "feature" with the features to be compared
GOterm_field	This is a string with the column name of the GO terms (e.g: "Functional.Category")
option	(values: "GO" or "Categories"). This option allows create either a graph where nodes are GO terms and edges are features or alternatively a graph where nodes are features and edges are GO terms (default value="Categories")
numCores	numeric, Number of cores to use for the process (default value numCores=2). For the example below, only one core will be used
saveGraph	logical, if TRUE the function will allow save the graph in graphml format
outdir	This parameter will allow save the graph file in a folder described here (e.g: "D:").This parameter only works when saveGraph=TRUE
filename	The name of the graph filename to be saved in the outdir detailed by the user.This parameter only works when saveGraph=TRUE

Value

This function will return a list with two slots: edges and nodes.

(Categories): Edges list columns:

Column	Description
SOURCE and TARGET	The source and target categories (Nodes in the edge)
FEATURES_N	The number of GO terms between the categories
WEIGHT	Edge weight
FEATURES	GO terms available for both nodes

Node list columns:

Column	Description
feature	Category name
GO_count	GO terms counts for the node
WEIGHT	Node weight

(GO):

Edges list columns:

Column	Description
SOURCE and TARGET	The source and target GO terms (Nodes in the edge)
FEATURE	The number of Categories where both GO Terms were found
WEIGHT	Edge weight

Node list columns:

Column	Description
GO	GO term node name
GO_WEIGHT	Node weight

Examples

#Loading example datasets
data(H_sapiens_compress)

GOterm_field <- "Functional_Category"

#Running function
x <- graphGOspecies(df=H_sapiens_compress,
                     GOterm_field=GOterm_field,
                     option = "Categories",
                     numCores=1,
                     saveGraph=FALSE,
                     outdir = NULL,
                     filename=NULL)
