plot5Prime3PrimeBias: Plot 5' to 3' bias

In hbc/bcbioRNASeq: Bcbio RNA-Seq

Plot 5' to 3' bias

Description

RNA-seq data can have specific biases at either the 5’ or 3’ end of sequenced fragments.

Usage

plot5Prime3PrimeBias(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'bcbioRNASeq'
plot5Prime3PrimeBias(
  object,
  interestingGroups = NULL,
  labels = list(title = "5'->3' bias", subtitle = NULL, sampleAxis = NULL, metricAxis =
    "5'->3' bias"),
  flip = getOption(x = "acid.flip", default = TRUE)
)

Arguments

object	Object.
interestingGroups	character. Groups of interest to use for visualization. Corresponds to factors describing the columns of the object.
labels	list. ggplot2 labels. See ggplot2::labs() for details.
flip	logical(1). Flip x and y axes. Recommended for plots containing many samples.
...	Additional arguments.

Details

It is common to see a small amount of bias, especially if polyA enrichment was performed, or if there is any sample degradation. If a large amount of bias is observed here, be sure to analyze the samples with a Bioanalyzer and check the RIN scores.

5' (3') bias is generally calculated as the median of the following ratio:

[mean expression of 5' (3')] /
[mean expression of whole transcript]

For example:

• Mean expression for 5' (3') is calculated as mean coverage of first (last) 100 bases.

• Mean expression of transcript is the mean coverage of all bases in that transcript.

• Median is calculated for the representative set of 1000 transcripts.

Value
