Heatmap

Description

Generates a heatmap of amplicon data by using sample metadata to aggregate samples and taxonomy to aggregate OTUs.

Arguments

data

(required) Data list as loaded with amp_load.

group_by

(recommended) Group the samples by a categorical variable in the metadata. If NULL then all samples are shown.

facet_by

Facet the samples by a categorical variable in the metadata.

normalise

(logical) Transform the OTU read counts to be in percent per sample. (default: TRUE)

tax_aggregate

The taxonomic level to aggregate the OTUs. (default: "Phylum")

tax_add

Additional taxonomic level(s) to display, e.g. "Phylum". (default: "none")

tax_show

The number of taxa to show, or a vector of taxa names. (default: 10)

showRemainingTaxa

Add an additional row at the bottom displaying the sum of all remaining taxa that are not part of the top tax_show most abundant taxa. (default: FALSE)

tax_class

Converts a specific phylum to class level instead, e.g. "p__Proteobacteria".

tax_empty

How to show OTUs without taxonomic information. One of the following:

  • "remove": Remove OTUs without taxonomic information.

  • "best": (default) Use the best classification possible.

  • "OTU": Display the OTU name.

order_x_by

Reorder the x axis by providing a character vector of the x axis values in the desired order, or "cluster" for hierarchical clustering by hclust.

order_y_by

Reorder the y axis by providing a character vector of the y axis values in the desired order, or "cluster" for hierarchical clustering by hclust.

plot_values

(logical) Plot the values on the heatmap or not. (default: TRUE)

plot_values_size

The size of the plotted values. (default: 4)

plot_legendbreaks

A vector of breaks for the abundance legend, fx c(1, 10, 20).

plot_colorscale

The type of scale used for the coloring of abundances, either "sqrt" or "log10". (default: "log10")

plot_na

(logical) Whether to color missing values with the lowest color in the scale or not. (default: TRUE)

measure

Generic function name to use for sorting most abundant taxa, fx mean, median, or sum. (default: mean)

min_abundance

All values below this value are given the same color. (default: 0.1)

max_abundance

All values above this value are given the same color.

sort_by

Sorts the heatmap by the most abundant taxa in a specific sample or group of samples. Provide a sample name or a specific value of the group defined by the "group_by" argument, e.g. "Treatment A".

normalise_by

A variable or a specific sample in the metadata to normalise the counts by.

scale_by

Scale the abundances by a variable in the metadata.

color_vector

Vector of colors for the colorscale, e.g. c("white", "red").

round

Number of digits to show with the values. (default: 1)

textmap

(logical) Return a data frame to print as raw text instead of a ggplot2 object. (default: FALSE)

plot_functions

Return a 2-column grid plot instead, showing known functional information about the Genus-level OTUs next to the heatmap. By default, this functional information is retrieved directly from midasfieldguide.org. When using this feature, make sure that either tax_aggregate or tax_add is set to "Genus" and that Genus is the lowest level in either. (default: FALSE)

function_data

If plot_functions is set to TRUE: A data frame with functional information at Genus level. The first column must be the Genus names and any other column(s) can be any property or metabolic function of the individual Genera. If NULL then data will be retrieved directly from midasfieldguide.org. (default: NULL)

functions

If plot_functions is set to TRUE: A vector with the functions to be displayed (column names in the functions_data data frame). If data is succesfully retrieved from midasfieldguide.org then available functions can be listed with colnames(.ampvis2_midasfg_function_data). (default: c("MiDAS","Filamentous", "AOB", "NOB", "PAO", "GAO"))

rel_widths

If plot_functions is set to TRUE: A vector with the relative widths of the heatmap and function grid when plot_functions = TRUE. (default: c(0.75, 0.25))

Value

A ggplot2 object, or a list of ggplot2 objects if plot_functions = TRUE. A data frame if textmap = TRUE.

Preserving relative abundances in a subset of larger data

By default the raw read counts in the abundance matrix are normalised (transformed to percentages) by some plotting functions automatically (for example amp_heatmap, amp_timeseries, and more). This means that the relative abundances shown will be calculated based on the remaining taxa after the subset, not including the removed taxa, if any. To circumvent this, set normalise = TRUE when subsetting with the amp_filter_taxa and amp_filter_samples functions, and then set normalise = FALSE in the plotting function. This will transform the OTU counts to relative abundances BEFORE the subset, and setting normalise = FALSE will skip the transformation in the plotting function, see the example below.

data("MiDAS")
subsettedData <- amp_filter_samples(MiDAS,
                                    Plant %in% c("Aalborg West", "Aalborg East"),
                                    normalise = TRUE
                                    )
amp_heatmap(subsettedData,
            group_by = "Plant",
            tax_aggregate = "Phylum",
            tax_add = "Genus",
            normalise = FALSE
            )

Saving plot with ggsave

When plot_functions = TRUE a list of ggplot objects is returned to allow adjusting themes etc. of the individual subplots. The list is of class hmfunplot and a matching print function for the S3 class then stitches together the individual plots using the patchwork package. Therefore to save the plot with ggsave simply pass on the plot object explicitly and wrap it in print(), see examples. This is not necessary if plot_functions = FALSE, as the returned object is then a regular ggplot object.

Accessing detailed raw data

The complete raw data used to generate any ggplot can always be accessed with ggplot2_object$data when the plot is saved as a ggplot2 object. Additionally, a "textmap" version of the generated heatmap can also be generated by setting textmap = TRUE to only extract the raw data as shown on the particular heatmap, see examples.
