In GenomicFeatures >= 1.21.10, the default for ignore.strand
was
changed to FALSE
for consistency with other methods in the
GenomicRanges and GenomicAlignments packages. Additionally,
the mapped position is computed from the TSS and does not depend on the
ignore.strand
argument.
See the section on ignore.strand
for details.
mapToTranscripts
, pmapToTranscripts
The genomic range in x
is mapped to the local position in the
transcripts
ranges. A successful mapping occurs when x
is completely within the transcripts
range, equivalent to:
findOverlaps(..., type="within")
Transcriptome-based coordinates start counting at 1 at the beginning
of the transcripts
range and return positions where x
was aligned. The seqlevels of the return object are taken from the
transcripts
object and should be transcript names. In this
direction, mapping is attempted between all elements of x
and
all elements of transcripts
.
mapToTranscripts
uses findOverlaps
to map ranges in
x
to ranges in transcripts
. This method does not return
unmapped ranges.
pmapToTranscripts
maps the i-th range in x
to the
i-th range in transcripts
. Recycling is supported for both
x
and transcripts
when either is length == 1L; otherwise
the lengths must match. Ranges in x
that do not map (out of bounds
or strand mismatch) are returned as zero-width ranges starting at 0.
These ranges are given the seqname of "UNMAPPED".
mapFromTranscripts
, pmapFromTranscripts
The transcript-based position in x
is mapped to genomic coordinates
using the ranges in transcripts
. A successful mapping occurs when
the following is TRUE:
width(transcripts) >= start(x) + width(x)
x
is aligned to transcripts
by moving in start(x)
positions in from the beginning of the transcripts
range. The
seqlevels of the return object are chromosome names.
mapFromTranscripts
uses the seqname of x
and the names
of transcripts
to determine mapping pairs (vs attempting to match
all possible pairs). Name matching is motivated by use cases such as
differentially expressed regions where the expressed regions in x
would only be related to a subset of regions in transcripts
.
This method does not return unmapped ranges.
pmapFromTranscripts
maps the i-th range in x
to the i-th
range in transcripts
and therefore does not use name matching.
Recycling is supported in pmapFromTranscripts
when either
x
or transcripts
is length == 1L; otherwise the lengths
must match. Ranges in x
that do not map (out of bounds or strand
mismatch) are returned as zero-width ranges starting at 0. These ranges
are given the seqname of "UNMAPPED".
pmapToTranscripts
returns a GRanges
the same length as
x
.
pmapFromTranscripts
returns a GRanges
when transcripts
is a GRanges
and a GRangesList
when transcripts
is a GRangesList
. In both cases the return object is the same
length as x
. The rational for returning the GRangesList
is
to preserve exon structure; ranges in a list element that are not overlapped
by x
are returned as a zero-width range. The GRangesList
return object will have no seqlevels called "UNMAPPED"; those will only
occur when a GRanges
is returned.
mapToTranscripts
and mapFromTranscripts
return GRanges
objects that vary in length similar to a Hits
object. The result
contains mapped records only; strand mismatch and out of bound ranges are
not returned. xHits
and transcriptsHits
metadata columns
(similar to the queryHits
and subjectHits
of a Hits
object) indicate elements of x
and transcripts
used in
the mapping.
When intronJunctions
is TRUE, mapToTranscripts
returns an
extra metdata column named intronic
to identify the intron ranges.
When mapping to transcript coordinates, seqlevels of the output are the names
on the transcripts
object and most often these will be transcript
names. When mapping to the genome, seqlevels of the output are the seqlevels
of transcripts
which are usually chromosome names.

## A. Basic Use: Conversion between CDS and Exon coordinates and the
## genome
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## Gene "Dgkb" has ENTREZID "217480":
library(org.Mm.eg.db)
Dgkb_geneid <- get("Dgkb", org.Mm.egSYMBOL2EG)
## The gene is on the positive strand, chromosome 12:
library(TxDb.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10.knownGene)
txdb <- TxDb.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10.knownGene
tx_by_gene <- transcriptsBy(txdb, by="gene")
Dgkb_transcripts <- tx_by_gene[[Dgkb_geneid]]
Dgkb_transcripts # all 7 Dgkb transcripts are on chr12, positive strand
## To map coordinates from local CDS or exon space to genome
## space use mapFromTranscripts().
## When mapping CDS coordinates to genome space the 'transcripts'
## argument is the collection of CDS parts by transcript.
coord <- GRanges("chr12", IRanges(4, width=1))
## Get the names of the transcripts in the gene:
Dgkb_tx_names <- mcols(Dgkb_transcripts)$tx_name
Dgkb_tx_names
## Use these names to isolate the region of interest:
cds_by_tx <- cdsBy(txdb, "tx", use.names=TRUE)
Dgkb_cds_by_tx <- cds_by_tx[intersect(Dgkb_tx_names, names(cds_by_tx))]
## Dgkb CDS parts grouped by transcript (no-CDS transcripts omitted):
Dgkb_cds_by_tx
lengths(Dgkb_cds_by_tx) # nb of CDS parts per transcript
## A requirement for mapping from transcript space to genome space
## is that seqnames in 'x' match the names in 'transcripts'.
names(Dgkb_cds_by_tx) <- rep(seqnames(coord), length(Dgkb_cds_by_tx))
## There are 6 results, one for each transcript.
mapFromTranscripts(coord, Dgkb_cds_by_tx)
## To map exon coordinates to genome space the 'transcripts'
## argument is the collection of exon regions by transcript.
coord <- GRanges("chr12", IRanges(100, width=1))
ex_by_tx <- exonsBy(txdb, "tx", use.names=TRUE)
Dgkb_ex_by_tx <- ex_by_tx[Dgkb_tx_names]
names(Dgkb_ex_by_tx) <- rep(seqnames(coord), length(Dgkb_ex_by_tx))
## Again the output has 6 results, one for each transcript.
mapFromTranscripts(coord, Dgkb_ex_by_tx)
## To go the reverse direction and map from genome space to
## local CDS or exon space, use mapToTranscripts().
## Genomic position 37981944 maps to CDS position 4:
coord <- GRanges("chr12", IRanges(37981944, width=1))
mapToTranscripts(coord, Dgkb_cds_by_tx)
## Genomic position 37880273 maps to exon position 100:
coord <- GRanges("chr12", IRanges(37880273, width=1))
mapToTranscripts(coord, Dgkb_ex_by_tx)
## The following examples use more than 2GB of memory, which is more
## than what 32-bit Windows can handle:
is_32bit_windows <- .Platform$OS.type == "windows" &&
.Platform$r_arch == "i386"
if (!is_32bit_windows) {

## B. Map sequence locations in exons to the genome
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## NAGNAG alternative splicing plays an essential role in biological
## processes and represents a highly adaptable system for
## posttranslational regulation of gene function. The majority of
## NAGNAG studies largely focus on messenger RNA. A study by Sun,
## Lin, and Yan (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2014/736798/)
## demonstrated that NAGNAG splicing is also operative in large
## intergenic noncoding RNA (lincRNA). One finding of interest was
## that linc-POLR3G-10 exhibited two NAGNAG acceptors located in two
## distinct transcripts: TCONS_00010012 and TCONS_00010010.
## Extract the exon coordinates of TCONS_00010012 and TCONS_00010010:
lincrna <- c("TCONS_00010012", "TCONS_00010010")
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.lincRNAsTranscripts)
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.lincRNAsTranscripts
exons <- exonsBy(txdb, by="tx", use.names=TRUE)[lincrna]
exons
## The two NAGNAG acceptors were identified in the upstream region of
## the fourth and fifth exons located in TCONS_00010012.
## Extract the sequences for transcript TCONS_00010012:
library(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19)
genome <- BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19
exons_seq <- getSeq(genome, exons[[1]])
## TCONS_00010012 has 4 exons:
exons_seq
## The most common triplet among the lincRNA sequences was CAG. Identify
## the location of this pattern in all exons.
cag_loc <- vmatchPattern("CAG", exons_seq)
## Convert the first occurance of CAG in each exon back to genome
## coordinates.
first_loc <- do.call(c, sapply(cag_loc, "[", 1, simplify=TRUE))
pmapFromTranscripts(first_loc, exons[[1]])

## The GIPR gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for gastric
## inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). Originally GIP was identified to
## inhibited gastric acid secretion and gastrin release but was later
## demonstrated to stimulate insulin release in the presence of elevated
## glucose.
## In this example 5 SNPs located in the GIPR gene are mapped to cDNA
## coordinates. A list of SNPs in GIPR can be downloaded from dbSNP or
## NCBI.
rsids <- c("rs4803846", "rs139322374", "rs7250736", "rs7250754",

library(SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP144.GRCh38)
snps <- snpsById(SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP144.GRCh38, rsids)
## Gene regions of GIPR can be extracted from a TxDb package of
## compatible build. The TxDb package uses Entrez gene identifiers
## and GIPR is a gene symbol. Let's first lookup its Entrez gene ID.
library(org.Hs.eg.db)
GIPR_geneid <- get("GIPR", org.Hs.egSYMBOL2EG)
## The transcriptsBy() extractor returns a range for each transcript that
## includes the UTR and exon regions (i.e., cDNA).
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene)
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene
tx_by_gene <- transcriptsBy(txdb, "gene")
GIPR_transcripts <- tx_by_gene[GIPR_geneid]
GIPR_transcripts # all 8 GIPR transcripts are on chr19, positive strand
## Before mapping, the chromosome names (seqlevels) in the two
## objects must be harmonized. The style is NCBI for 'snps' and
## UCSC for 'GIPR_transcripts'.
seqlevelsStyle(snps)
seqlevelsStyle(GIPR_transcripts)
## Modify the style (and genome) in 'snps' to match 'GIPR_transcripts'.
seqlevelsStyle(snps) <- seqlevelsStyle(GIPR_transcripts)
## The 'GIPR_transcripts' object is a GRangesList of length 1. This single
## list element contains the cDNA range for 8 different transcripts. To
## map to each transcript individually 'GIPR_transcripts' must be unlisted
## before mapping.
## Map all 5 SNPS to all 8 transcripts:
mapToTranscripts(snps, unlist(GIPR_transcripts))
## Map the first SNP to transcript "ENST00000590918.5" and the second to
## "ENST00000263281.7".
pmapToTranscripts(snps[1:2], unlist(GIPR_transcripts)[1:2])
## The cdsBy() extractor returns CDS parts by gene or by transcript.
## Extract the CDS parts for transcript "ENST00000263281.7".
cds <- cdsBy(txdb, "tx", use.names=TRUE)["ENST00000263281.7"]
cds
## The 'cds' object is a GRangesList of length 1 containing the ranges of
## all CDS parts for single transcript "ENST00000263281.7".
## To map to the concatenated group of ranges leave 'cds' as a GRangesList.
mapToTranscripts(snps, cds)
## Only the second SNP could be mapped. Unlisting the 'cds' object maps
## the SNPs to the individual cds ranges (vs the concatenated range).
mapToTranscripts(snps[2], unlist(cds))
## The location is the same because the SNP hit the first CDS part. If
## the transcript were on the "-" strand the difference in concatenated
## vs non-concatenated position would be more obvious.
## Change strand:
strand(cds) <- strand(snps) <- "-"
mapToTranscripts(snps[2], unlist(cds))
