In VDJgermlines: Variable, Diversity and Joining Sequences from Various Species

Description

Calculates the distance between VDJ germlines of interest and produces a matrix that can be used for further analysis or viewed using Heatmap/pheatmap/ComplexHeatmap.

Usage

VDJheatmap(species, chain, source, inference.method)

Arguments

species	Specifies desired species. Current species options can be found by running unique(VDJgermlines$species) after loading in data(VDJgermlines). "all_species" will select all available species. Species include ("alpaca","bovine","crab_eating_macaque","dog", "human","mouse","pig","platypus","rabbit",raintrout","rat","rhesus monkey","salmon", "sheep","zebrafish","atlanticcod","catfish","teleostei","goat","dolphin","mamonkey", "camel","runny")
chain	Specifies the desired chain. "all_chains" will select all chains. The various chains can be listed by running unique(VDJgermlines$chain).Antibody loci start with IG, TCR starts with TR.NExt comes either heavy, light, alpha, beta etc. Examples include IGHD IGHJ IGHV IGIJ IGIV IGKJ IGKV IGLJ IGLV TRAJ TRAV TRBD TRBJ TRBV TRDD TRDJ TRDV TRGJ TRGV
source	Specifies from which source the desired chains should be taken from. Current sources can be found by running unique(VDJgermlines$source) after loading in data(VDJgermlines). IMGT and vgenerepertoire are currently present.
inference.method	Specifies the distance metric to be used to calculate distance. Currently includes parameters from stringdist::stringdistmatrix(), such as "lv","jv","hamming","qgram","cosine","Jaccard","lcs", or "soundex".

Value

Returns a matrix where the entries correspond to the VDJ germlines used the neighbor joining algorithm. Can be viewed by heatmap() in base r, or pheatmap::pheatmap(VDJheatmap).

Examples

VDJheatmap(species = "dog",chain = "IGHD",source = "IMGT")
