The package contains tools to calculate similarity score matrix for DNA k-mers. The pairwise similarity score is calculated using PAM or BLOSUM substitution matrix. The results are evaluated by similarity score calculated by Needleman-Wunsch (global) [@NEEDLEMAN1970443] or Smith-Waterman (local) alignment. [@SMITH1981195]. Higher similarity score indicates more similar sequences for BLOSUM and less similar sequences for PAM matrix; 30, 40, 70, 120, 250 and 62, 45, 50, 62, 80, 100 matrix versions are available for PAM and BLOSUM, respectively.
# Import the package library(kmeRs)
Simply apply the kmeRs_similarity_matrix function and mark as an input the vector contains the nucleotides letters for witch the score should be calculated.
# Simple BLOSUM62 similarity matrix for all DNA nucleotides result <- kmeRs_similarity_matrix(kmers_given = c("A", "T", "C", "G"), submat = "BLOSUM62") # Fancy knitr table knitr::kable(result)
In this example, the most 'different' k-mer to "GATTACA" sequence will be indicated from given set of heptamers. Here, 7 heptamer (being an anagram of the movie title "GATTACA") are given, as follow:
# Given hexamers kmers_given <- c("GATTACA", "ACAGATT", "GAATTAC", "GAAATCT", "CTATAGA", "GTACATA", "AACGATT") # Matrix calculation result <- kmeRs_similarity_matrix(kmers_given = c("GATTACA"), compare_to = kmers_given , submat = "BLOSUM62") # Fancy knitr table knitr::kable(result)
Now, applying kmeRs_score_and_sort function the total score is calculated and the matrix is sorted by decreasing score value. The lowest value (in case of BLOSUM) indicates the most 'different' sequence from given k-mers, in contrast to the highest value which indicates the most similar one.
# Score and sort the matrix result <- kmeRs_score_and_sort(result) # Fancy knitr table knitr::kable(result)
As can be observed, the most 'different' sequence to GATTACA is ACAGATT with total score equal to 1 and the most similar to GATTACA sequence is of course GATTACA sequence with the highest score equal to 37.
In this example, the most 'different' k-mer to whole given set of heptamers will be indicated. The same heptamers as in example 2 are used.
# Given hexamers kmers_given <- c("GATTACA", "ACAGATT", "GAATTAC", "GAAATCT", "CTATAGA", "GTACATA", "AACGATT") # Matrix calculation result <- kmeRs_similarity_matrix(kmers_given = kmers_given, submat = "BLOSUM62") # Score the matrix and sort by decreasing score result <- kmeRs_score_and_sort(result) # Fancy knitr table knitr::kable(result)
As can be observed, the most 'different' sequence to all given heptamers is CTATAGA with score equal to 62 and the most similar sequence is GAAATCT with the highest score equal to 97.
Applying function kmeRs_statistics to the result matrix (here, result matrix from example 3) the basic statistics can be calculated as additional columns. When summary_statistics_only is set to TRUE only summary table is returned. It is much more elegant way to present results, especially in case of 'big data' output.
# Score the matrix and sort by decreasing score result <- kmeRs_statistics(result) # Fancy knitr table knitr::kable(result[ , 1:(length(result[1, ])-4)])
