Bioconductor offers pre-built org.*
annotation
packages for model organisms, with their use described in the OrgDb
section of the Annotation work flow. Here we discover available
OrgDb

The object returned by AnnotationHub is directly usable with the
select()
interface, e.g., to discover the available
keytypes for querying the object, the columns that these keytypes can
map to, and finally selecting the SYMBOL and GENENAME corresponding to
the first 6 ENTREZIDs

All Roadmap Epigenomics files are hosted here. If one had to download these files on their own, one would navigate through the web interface to find useful files, then use something like the following R code.
url <- "http://egg2.wustl.edu/roadmap/data/byFileType/peaks/consolidated/broadPeak/E001-H3K4me1.broadPeak.gz"
filename <- basename(url)
download.file(url, destfile=filename)
if (file.exists(filename))
data <- import(filename, format="bed")
This would have to be repeated for all files, and the onus would lie on the user to identify, download, import, and manage the local disk location of these files.
AnnotationHub reduces this task to just a few lines of R code
A look at the value returned by epiFiles
shows us that
18250 roadmap resources are available via AnnotationHub.
Additional information about the files is also available, e.g., where
the files came from (dataprovider), genome, species, sourceurl,
sourcetypes.

A good sanity check to ensure that we have files only from the Roadmap Epigenomics project is to check that all the files in the returned smaller hub object come from Homo sapiens and the hg19, hg38 genome

Broadly, one can get an idea of the different files from this project looking at the sourcetype

Hub resources can also be selected using $
,
subset()
, and BiocHubsShiny()
; see the main AnnotationHub vignette for
additional detail.
Hub resources are imported as the appropriate Bioconductor object for use in further analysis. For example, peak files are returned as GRanges objects.

BigWig files are returned as BigWigFile objects. A
BigWigFile is a reference to a file on disk; the data in the
file can be read in using rtracklayer::import()
, perhaps
querying these large files for particular genomic regions of interest as
described on the help page ?import.bw
.
Each record inside AnnotationHub is associated with a unique identifier. Most GRanges objects returned by AnnotationHub contain the unique AnnotationHub identifier of the resource from which the GRanges is derived. This can come handy when working with the GRanges object for a while, and additional information about the object (e.g., the name of the file in the cache, or the original sourceurl for the data underlying the resource) that is being worked with.

Bioconductor represents gene models using ‘transcript’
databases. These are available via packages such as TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene
or can be constructed using functions such as txdbmaker::makeTxDbFromBiomart()
.
AnnotationHub provides an easy way to work with gene models published by Ensembl. Let’s see what Ensembl’s Release-94 has in terms of data for pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes.

We see that there is a GTF file descrbing gene models, as well as various DNA sequences. Let’s retrieve the GTF and top-level DNA sequence files. The GTF file is imported as a GRanges instance, the DNA sequence as a twobit file.

There is a one-to-one mapping between the genomic ranges contained in
exons
and the DNA sequences returned by
getSeq()
.
Some difficulties arise when working with this partly assembled genome that require more advanced GenomicRanges skills, see the GenomicRanges vignettes, especially “GenomicRanges HOWTOs” and “An Introduction to GenomicRanges”.
Suppose we wanted to lift features from one genome build to another, e.g., because annotations were generated for hg19 but our experimental analysis used hg18. We know that UCSC provides ‘liftover’ files for mapping between genome builds.
In this example, we will take our broad Peak GRanges from E126 which comes from the ‘hg19’ genome, and lift over these features to their ‘hg38’ coordinates.

Query the dbDNP files in the hub:
This returns a VcfFile which can be read in using
r Biocpkg("VariantAnnotation")
; because VCF files can be
large, readVcf()
supports several strategies for importing
only relevant parts of the file (e.g., particular genomic locations,
particular features of the variants), see ?readVcf

additional information.

Note that the broadPeaks files follow the UCSC chromosome naming convention, and the vcf data follows the NCBI style of chromosome naming convention. To bring these ranges in the same chromosome naming convention (ie UCSC), we would use
And then finally to find which variants overlap these broadPeaks we would use:
## Warning in .merge_two_Seqinfo_objects(x, y): The 2 combined objects have no sequence levels in common. (Use

Some insight into how these results can be interpretted comes from looking a particular peak, e.g., the 3852nd peak

There are three variants overlapping this peak; the coordinates of the peak and the overlapping variants are
