matchPDict | R Documentation |
A set of functions for finding all the occurrences (aka "matches" or "hits") of a set of patterns (aka the dictionary) in a reference sequence or set of reference sequences (aka the subject)
The following functions differ in what they return: matchPDict
returns the "where" information i.e. the positions in the subject of all the
occurrences of every pattern; countPDict
returns the "how many
times" information i.e. the number of occurrences for each pattern;
and whichPDict
returns the "who" information i.e. which patterns
in the input dictionary have at least one match.
vcountPDict
and vwhichPDict
are vectorized versions
of countPDict
and whichPDict
, respectively, that is,
they work on a set of reference sequences in a vectorized fashion.
This man page shows how to use these functions (aka the *PDict
functions) for exact matching of a constant width dictionary i.e.
a dictionary where all the patterns have the same length (same number
of nucleotides).
See ?`matchPDict-inexact`
for how to use these functions
for inexact matching or when the original dictionary has a variable width.

In this man page, we assume that you know how to preprocess a dictionary
of DNA patterns that can then be used with any of the *PDict
functions described here. Please see ?PDict
if you don't.
When using the *PDict
functions for exact matching of a constant
width dictionary, the standard way to preprocess the original dictionary
is by calling the PDict
constructor on it with no extra
arguments. This returns the preprocessed dictionary in a PDict
object that can be used with any of the *PDict
functions.
If M
denotes the number of patterns in the pdict
argument (M <- length(pdict)
), then matchPDict
returns
an MIndex object of length M
,
and countPDict
an integer vector of length M
.
whichPDict
returns an integer vector made of the indices of the
patterns in the pdict
argument that have at least one match.
If N
denotes the number of sequences in the subject
argument (N <- length(subject)
), then vcountPDict
returns an integer matrix with M
rows and N
columns,
unless the collapse
argument is used. In that case, depending
on the type of weight
, an integer or numeric vector is returned
(see above for the details).
vwhichPDict
returns a list of N
integer vectors.

## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## A. A SIMPLE EXAMPLE OF EXACT MATCHING
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## Creating the pattern dictionary:
library(drosophila2probe)
dict0 <- DNAStringSet(drosophila2probe)
dict0 # The original dictionary.
length(dict0) # Hundreds of thousands of patterns.
pdict0 <- PDict(dict0) # Store the original dictionary in
# a PDict object (preprocessing).
## Using the pattern dictionary on chromosome 3R:
library(BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3)
chr3R <- Dmelanogaster$chr3R # Load chromosome 3R
chr3R
mi0 <- matchPDict(pdict0, chr3R) # Search...
## Looking at the matches:
start_index <- startIndex(mi0) # Get the start index.
length(start_index) # Same as the original dictionary.
start_index[[8220]] # Starts of the 8220th pattern.
end_index <- endIndex(mi0) # Get the end index.
end_index[[8220]] # Ends of the 8220th pattern.
nmatch_per_pat <- elementNROWS(mi0) # Get the number of matches per pattern.
nmatch_per_pat[[8220]]
mi0[[8220]] # Get the matches for the 8220th pattern.
start(mi0[[8220]]) # Equivalent to startIndex(mi0)[[8220]].
sum(nmatch_per_pat) # Total number of matches.
table(nmatch_per_pat)
i0 <- which(nmatch_per_pat == max(nmatch_per_pat))
pdict0[[i0]] # The pattern with most occurrences.
mi0[[i0]] # Its matches as an IRanges object.
Views(chr3R, mi0[[i0]]) # And as an XStringViews object.
## Get the coverage of the original subject:
cov3R <- as.integer(coverage(mi0, width=length(chr3R)))
max(cov3R)
mean(cov3R)
sum(cov3R != 0) / length(cov3R) # Only 2.44% of chr3R is covered.
if (interactive()) {
library(graphics)
plotCoverage <- function(cx, start, end)
{
graphics::plot.new()
graphics::plot.window(c(start, end), c(0, 20))
graphics::axis(1)
graphics::axis(2)
graphics::axis(4)
graphics::lines(start:end, cx[start:end], type="l")
}
plotCoverage(cov3R, 27600000, 27900000)
}
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## B. NAMING THE PATTERNS
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## The names of the original patterns, if any, are propagated to the
## PDict and MIndex objects:
names(dict0) <- mkAllStrings(letters, 4)[seq_len(length(dict0))]
dict0
dict0[["abcd"]]
pdict0n <- PDict(dict0)
names(pdict0n)[1:30]
pdict0n[["abcd"]]
mi0n <- matchPDict(pdict0n, chr3R)
names(mi0n)[1:30]
mi0n[["abcd"]]
## This is particularly useful when unlisting an MIndex object:
unlist(mi0)[1:10]
unlist(mi0n)[1:10] # keep track of where the matches are coming from
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## C. PERFORMANCE
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## If getting the number of matches is what matters only (without
## regarding their positions), then countPDict() will be faster,
## especially when there is a high number of matches:
nmatch_per_pat0 <- countPDict(pdict0, chr3R)
stopifnot(identical(nmatch_per_pat0, nmatch_per_pat))
if (interactive()) {
## What's the impact of the dictionary width on performance?
## Below is some code that can be used to figure out (will take a long
## time to run). For different widths of the original dictionary, we
## look at:
## o pptime: preprocessing time (in sec.) i.e. time needed for
## building the PDict object from the truncated input
## sequences;
## o nnodes: nb of nodes in the resulting Aho-Corasick tree;
## o nupatt: nb of unique truncated input sequences;
## o matchtime: time (in sec.) needed to find all the matches;
## o totalcount: total number of matches.

## D. USING A NON-PREPROCESSED DICTIONARY
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
dict3 <- DNAStringSet(mkAllStrings(DNA_BASES, 3)) # all trinucleotides
dict3
pdict3 <- PDict(dict3)
## The 3 following calls are equivalent (from faster to slower):
res3a <- countPDict(pdict3, chr3R)
res3b <- countPDict(dict3, chr3R)
res3c <- sapply(dict3,
function(pattern) countPattern(pattern, chr3R))
stopifnot(identical(res3a, res3b))
stopifnot(identical(res3a, res3c))
## One reason for using a non-preprocessed dictionary is to get rid of
## all the constraints associated with preprocessing, e.g., when
## preprocessing with PDict(), the input dictionary must be DNA and a
## Trusted Band must be defined (explicitly or implicitly).
## See '?PDict' for more information about these constraints.
## In particular, using a non-preprocessed dictionary can be
## useful for the kind of inexact matching that can't be achieved
## with a PDict object (if performance is not an issue).
## See '?`matchPDict-inexact`' for more information about inexact
## matching.
dictD <- xscat(dict3, "N", reverseComplement(dict3))
## The 2 following calls are equivalent (from faster to slower):
resDa <- matchPDict(dictD, chr3R, fixed=FALSE)
resDb <- sapply(dictD,
function(pattern)
matchPattern(pattern, chr3R, fixed=FALSE))
stopifnot(all(sapply(seq_len(length(dictD)),
function(i)
identical(resDa[[i]], as(resDb[[i]], "IRanges")))))
## A non-preprocessed dictionary can be of any base class i.e. BString,
## RNAString, and AAString, in addition to DNAString:
matchPDict(AAStringSet(c("DARC", "EGH")), AAString("KMFPRNDEGHSTTWTEE"))
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## E. vcountPDict()
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## Load Fly upstream sequences (i.e. the sequences 2000 bases upstream of
## annotated transcription starts):
dm3_upstream_filepath <- system.file("extdata",
"dm3_upstream2000.fa.gz",
package="Biostrings")
dm3_upstream <- readDNAStringSet(dm3_upstream_filepath)
dm3_upstream
subject <- dm3_upstream[1:100]
mat1 <- vcountPDict(pdict0, subject)
dim(mat1) # length(pdict0) x length(subject)
nhit_per_probe <- rowSums(mat1)
table(nhit_per_probe)
## Without vcountPDict(), 'mat1' could have been computed with:
mat2 <- sapply(unname(subject), function(x) countPDict(pdict0, x))
stopifnot(identical(mat1, mat2))
## but using vcountPDict() is faster (10x or more, depending of the
## average length of the sequences in 'subject').
if (interactive()) {
## This will fail (with message "allocMatrix: too many elements
## specified") because, on most platforms, vectors and matrices in R
## are limited to 2^31 elements:
subject <- dm3_upstream
vcountPDict(pdict0, subject)
length(pdict0) * length(dm3_upstream)
1 * length(pdict0) * length(dm3_upstream) # > 2^31
## But this will work:
nhit_per_seq <- vcountPDict(pdict0, subject, collapse=2)
sum(nhit_per_seq >= 1) # nb of subject sequences with at least 1 hit
table(nhit_per_seq) # max is 74
which.max(nhit_per_seq) # 1133
sum(countPDict(pdict0, subject[[1133]])) # 74
}

## H. MAPPING PROBE SET IDS BETWEEN CHIPS WITH vwhichPDict()
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## Here we show a simple (and very naive) algorithm for mapping probe
## set IDs between the hgu95av2 and hgu133a chips (Affymetrix).
## 2 probe set IDs are considered mapped iff they share at least one
## probe.
## WARNING: This example takes about 10 minutes to run.
if (interactive()) {
library(hgu95av2probe)
library(hgu133aprobe)
probes1 <- DNAStringSet(hgu95av2probe)
probes2 <- DNAStringSet(hgu133aprobe)
pdict2 <- PDict(probes2)
## Get the mapping from probes1 to probes2 (based on exact matching):
map1to2 <- vwhichPDict(pdict2, probes1)
## The following helper function uses the probe level mapping to induce
## the mapping at the probe set IDs level (from hgu95av2 to hgu133a).
## To keep things simple, 2 probe set IDs are considered mapped iff
## each of them contains at least one probe mapped to one probe of
## the other:
mapProbeSetIDs1to2 <- function(psID)
unique(hgu133aprobe$Probe.Set.Name[unlist(
map1to2[hgu95av2probe$Probe.Set.Name == psID]
)])
## Use the helper function to build the complete mapping:
psIDs1 <- unique(hgu95av2probe$Probe.Set.Name)
mapPSIDs1to2 <- lapply(psIDs1, mapProbeSetIDs1to2) # about 3 min.
names(mapPSIDs1to2) <- psIDs1
## Do some basic stats:
table(sapply(mapPSIDs1to2, length))
## [ADVANCED USERS ONLY]
## An alternative that is slightly faster is to put all the probes
## (hgu95av2 + hgu133a) in a single PDict object and then query its
## 'dups0' slot directly. This slot is a Dups object containing the
## mapping between duplicated patterns.
## Note that we can do this only because all the probes have the
## same length (25) and because we are doing exact matching:
probes12 <- DNAStringSet(c(hgu95av2probe$sequence, hgu133aprobe$sequence))
pdict12 <- PDict(probes12)
dups0 <- pdict12@dups0
mapProbeSetIDs1to2alt <- function(psID)
{
ii1 <- unique(togroup(dups0, which(hgu95av2probe$Probe.Set.Name == psID)))
ii2 <- members(dups0, ii1) - length(probes1)
ii2 <- ii2[ii2 >= 1L]
unique(hgu133aprobe$Probe.Set.Name[ii2])
}
mapPSIDs1to2alt <- lapply(psIDs1, mapProbeSetIDs1to2alt) # about 5 min.
names(mapPSIDs1to2alt) <- psIDs1
## 'mapPSIDs1to2alt' and 'mapPSIDs1to2' contain the same mapping:
stopifnot(identical(lapply(mapPSIDs1to2alt, sort),
lapply(mapPSIDs1to2, sort)))
}
