shiftFootprintsByExperiment: Shift footprints of each file in experiment

shiftFootprintsByExperimentR Documentation

Shift footprints of each file in experiment

Description

A function that combines the steps of periodic read length detection, p-site shift detection and p-shifting into 1 function. For more details, see: detectRibosomeShifts
Saves files to a specified location as .ofst and .wig, The .ofst file will include a score column containing read width.
The .wig files, will be saved in pairs of +/- strand, and score column will be replicates of reads starting at that position, score = 5 means 5 reads.
Remember that different species might have different default Ribosome read lengths, for human, mouse etc, normally around 27:30.

Arguments

df

an ORFik experiment

out.dir

output directory for files, default: pasteDir(libFolder(df), "/pshifted/"), making a /pshifted folder inside default bam file location

start

(logical) Whether to include predictions based on the start codons. Default TRUE.

stop

(logical) Whether to include predictions based on the stop codons. Default FASLE. Only use if there exists 3' UTRs for the annotation. If peridicity around stop codon is stronger than at the start codon, use stop instead of start region for p-shifting.

top_tx

(integer), default 10. Specify which % of the top TIS coverage transcripts to use for estimation of the shifts. By default we take top 10 top covered transcripts as they represent less noisy data-set. This is only applicable when there are more than 1000 transcripts.

minFiveUTR

(integer) minimum bp for 5' UTR during filtering for the transcripts. Set to NULL if no 5' UTRs exists for annotation.

minCDS

(integer) minimum bp for CDS during filtering for the transcripts

minThreeUTR

(integer) minimum bp for 3' UTR during filtering for the transcripts. Set to NULL if no 3' UTRs exists for annotation.

firstN

(integer) Represents how many bases of the transcripts downstream of start codons to use for initial estimation of the periodicity.

min_reads

default (1000), how many reads must a read-length have in total to be considered for periodicity.

min_reads_TIS

default (50), how many reads must a read-length have in the TIS region to be considered for periodicity.

accepted.lengths

accepted read lengths, default 26:34, usually ribo-seq is strongest between 27:32.

output_format

default c("ofst", "wig"), use export.ofst or wiggle format (wig) using export.wiggle ? Default is both.
Options are: c("ofst", "bigWig", "wig", "bed", "bedo") For future coverage per nucleotide, we advice to do here ofst and bigWig for other genome browsers, then call convert_to_covRleList to get much faster R objects.
The wig format version can be used in IGV, the score column is counts of that read with that read length, the cigar reference width is lost, ofst is much faster to save and load in R, and retain cigar reference width, but can not be used in IGV.
Also for larger tracks, you can use "bigWig".

BPPARAM

how many cores/threads to use? default: bpparam()

tx

a GRangesList, if you do not have 5' UTRs in annotation, send your own version. Example: extendLeaders(tx, 30) Where 30 bases will be new "leaders". Since each original transcript was either only CDS or non-coding (filtered out).

shift.list

default NULL, or a list containing named data.frames / data.tables with minimum 2 columns, fraction (selected read lengths) and offsets_start (relative position in nt). 1 named data.frame / data.table per library. Output from detectRibosomeShifts.
Run ORFik::shifts_load(df) for an example of input. The names of the list must be the file.paths of the Ribo-seq libraries. Use this to edit the shifts, if you suspect some of them are wrong in an experiment.

log

logical, default (TRUE), output a log file with parameters used and a .rds file with all shifts per library (can be loaded with shifts_load)

heatmap

a logical or character string, default FALSE. If TRUE, will plot heatmap of raw reads before p-shifting to console, to see if shifts given make sense. You can also set a filepath to save the file there.

must.be.periodic

logical TRUE, if FALSE will not filter on periodic read lengths. (The Fourier transform filter will be skipped). This is useful if you are not going to do periodicity analysis, that is: for you more coverage depth (more read lengths) is more important than only keeping the high quality periodic read lengths.

strict.fft

logical, TRUE. Use a FFT without noise filter. This means keep only reads lengths that are "periodic for the human eye". If you want more coverage, set to FALSE, to also get read lengths that are "messy", but the noise filter detects the periodicity of 3. This should only be done when you do not need high quality periodic reads! Example would be differential translation analysis by counts over each ORF.

verbose

logical, default FALSE. Report details of analysis/periodogram. Good if you are not sure if the analysis was correct.

Value

NULL (Objects are saved to out.dir/pshited/"name_pshifted.ofst", wig, bedo or .bedo)

Examples

df <- ORFik.template.experiment.zf()
df <- df[1,] #lets only p-shift first RFP sample
## Output files as both .ofst and .wig(can be viewed in IGV/UCSC)
shiftFootprintsByExperiment(df)
# If you only need in R, do: (then you get no .wig files)
#shiftFootprintsByExperiment(df, output_format = "ofst")
## With debug info:
#shiftFootprintsByExperiment(df, verbose = TRUE)
## Re-shift, if you think some are wrong
## Here as an example we update library 1, third read length to shift 12
shift.list <- shifts_load(df)
shift.list[[1]]$offsets_start[3] <- -12
#shiftFootprintsByExperiment(df, shift.list = shift.list)
## For additional speedup in R for nucleotide coverage (coveragePerTiling etc)
