Analysis of high-throughput sequencing of T and B cell receptors with LymphoSeq
Application of high-throughput sequencing of T and B lymphocyte antigen receptors has great potential for improving the monitoring of lymphoid malignancies, assessing immune reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and characterizing the composition of lymphocyte repertoires (Warren, E. H. et al. Blood 2013;122:19–22). LymhoSeq is an R package designed to import, analyze, and visualize antigen receptor sequencing from Adaptive Biotechnologies’ ImmunoSEQ assay. The package is also adaptable to the analysis of T and B cell receptor sequencing processed using other platforms such as MiXCR or IMGT/HighV-QUEST. This vignette has been written to highlight some of the features of LymphoSeq and guide the user through a typical workflow.
Importing data
The LymphoSeq function readImmunoSeq imports
tab-separated value (.tsv) files exported by Adaptive
Biotechnologies ImmunoSEQ analyzer v2 where each row represents a unique
sequence and each column is a variable with information about that
sequence such as read count, frequency, or variable gene name.
Note that the file format for ImmunoSEQ analyzer v3 is not yet
supported and users must choose to export the v2 format from the
analyzer software. Only files with the extension
.tsv are imported while all other are disregarded. It is
possible to import files processed using other platforms as long as the
files are tab-delimited, are given the extension .tsv and
have identical column names as the ImmunoSEQs files (see
readImmunoSeq manual for a list of column names used by
this file type). Refer to the LymphoSeq manual regarding the required
column names used by each function.
To explore the features of LymphoSeq, this package includes 2 example
data sets. The first is a data set of T cell receptor beta (TCRB)
sequencing from 10 blood samples acquired serially from a single patient
who underwent a bone marrow transplant (Kanakry,
C.G., et al. JCI Insight 2016;1(5):pii: e86252). The
second, is a data set of B cell receptor immunoglobulin heavy (IGH)
chain sequencing from Burkitt lymphoma tumor biopsies acquired from 10
different individuals (Lombardo, K.A.,
et al. Blood Advances 2017 1:535-544). To improve
performance, both data sets contain only the top 1,000 most frequent
sequences. The complete data sets are publicly available through Adapatives’
immuneACCESS portal. As shown in the example below, you can specify
the path to the example data sets using the command
system.file("extdata", "TCRB_sequencing", package = "LymphoSeq")
for the TCRB files and
system.file("extdata", "IGH_sequencing", package = "LymphoSeq")
for the IGH files.
readImmunoSeq imports each file in the specified
directory as a list object where each file becomes a data frame. You can
import all columns from each file by setting the columns
parameter to "all" or list just those columns of interest.
Be aware that Adaptive Biotechnologies has changed the column names of
their files over time and if the headings of your files are not all the
same, you will need to specify "all" or provide all
variations of the column header. By default, the columns
parameter is set to import only those columns used by LymphoSeq.
## Loading required package: LymphoSeqDBTCRB.path <- system.file("extdata", "TCRB_sequencing", package = "LymphoSeq")
TCRB.list <- readImmunoSeq(path = TCRB.path)Notice that each data frame listed in the TCRB.list
object is named according the ImmunoSEQ file names. If different names
are desired, you may rename the original .tsv files or
assign names(TCRB.list) to a new character vector of
desired names in the same order as the list.

[10] "TRB_Unsorted_949" Having the data in the form of a list makes it easy to apply a
function over that list using the base function lapply. For
example, you may use the function dim to report the
dimensions of each data frame as shown below. Noticed that each data
frame in the example below has less than 1,000 rows and 11 columns.

nrow, ncol, or other more complex functions
that perform operations on subsetted columns.
Subsetting data
If you imported all of the files from your project but just want to
perform an analysis on a subset, use standard R methods to subset the
list. Remember that a single bracket [ returns a list and a
double bracket [[ returns a single data frame.

In the example below, a metadata file is imported for the example TCRB data set which contains information on the number of days post bone marrow transplant the sample was collected and the cellular phenopyte the blood sample was sorted for prior to sequencing.

A productive sequence is defined as a sequences that is in frame and
does not have an early stop codon. If you sequenced genomic DNA as
opposed to complimentary DNA made from RNA, then you will have
unproductive and productive sequences in your data files. Use the
function productiveSeq to remove unproductive sequences and
recompute the frequencyCount for each of your samples.
If you are interested in just the complementarity determining region
3 (CDR3) amino acid sequences, then set aggregate to
"aminoAcid" and the count and estimated number of genomes
for duplicate amino acid sequences will be summed. Note that the
resulting list of data frames will have columns corresponding to
“aminoAcid”, “count”, “frequencyCount”, and “estimatedNumberGenomes” (if
this column is available) only. All other columns, such as those
corresponding to the V, D, and J gene names, will be removed if they
were included in your original file list. The reason for this is to
avoid confusion since a single amino acid CDR3 sequence may be encoded
by multiple different nucleotide sequences with differing V, D, and J
genes.
productive.TRB.aa <- productiveSeq(file.list = TCRB.list, aggregate = "aminoAcid",
prevalence = FALSE)Alternatively, you may set aggregate to "nucleotide" and
the resulting list of data frames will all have the same columns as your
original file list. Take note that some LymphoSeq functions require a
productive sequence list aggregated by amino acid or nucleotide.
productive.TRB.nt <- productiveSeq(file.list = TCRB.list, aggregate = "nucleotide",
prevalence = FALSE)If the parameter prevalence is set to TRUE,
then a new column is added to each of the data frames giving the
prevalence (%) of each TCR beta CDR3 amino acid sequence in 55 healthy
donor peripheral blood samples. Values range from 0 to 100% where 100%
means the sequence appeared in the blood of all 55 individuals. The data
for this operation resides in a separate package that is automatically
loaded called LymphoSeqDB. Please refer to that package manual for more
details.
Notice in the example below that there are no amino acid sequences given in the first and fourth row of the TCRB.list data frame for sample “TRB_Unsorted_949”. This is because the nucleotide sequence is out of frame and does not produce a productively transcribed amino acid sequence. If an asterisk (*) appears in the amino acid sequences, this would indicate an early stop codon.

nucleotide sequence, they would be combined and their counts added
together.

This normalized entropy value is then inverted (1 - normalized entropy) to produce the clonality metric.
The Gini coefficient is an alternative metric used to calculate repertoire diversity and is derived from the Lorenz curve. The Lorenz curve is drawn such that x-axis represents the cumulative percentage of unique sequences and the y-axis represents the cumulative percentage of reads. A line passing through the origin with a slope of 1 reflects equal frequencies of all clones. The Gini coefficient is the ratio of the area between the line of equality and the observed Lorenz curve over the total area under the line of equality.
Both Gini coefficient and clonality are reported on a scale from 0 to 1 where 0 indicates all sequences have the same frequency and 1 indicates the repertoire is dominated by a single sequence.
Draw a phylogenetic tree
A phylogenetic tree is a useful way to visualize the similarity
between sequences. The phyloTree function create a
phylogenetic tree of a single sample using neighbor joining tree
estimation for amino acid or nucleotide CDR3 sequences. Each leaf in the
tree represents a sequence color coded by the V, D, and J gene usage.
The number next to each leaf refers to the sequence count. A triangle
shaped leaf indicates the most frequent sequence. The distance between
leaves on the horizontal axis corresponds to the sequence similarity
(i.e. the further apart the leaves are horizontally, the less similar
the sequences are to one another).
phyloTree(list = productive.IGH.nt, sample = "IGH_MVQ92552A_BL", type = "nucleotide",
layout = "rectangular")Warning: The `<scale>` argument of `guides()` cannot be `FALSE`. Use "none" instead as
of ggplot2 3.3.4.

Multiple sequence alignment
In LymphoSeq, you can perform a multiple sequence alignment using one of three methods provided by the Bioconductor msa package (ClustalW, ClustalOmega, or Muscle) and output results to the console or as a pdf file. One may perform the alignment of all amino acid or nucleotide sequences in a single sample. Alternatively, one may search for a given sequence within a list of samples using an edit distance threshold.
alignSeq(list = productive.IGH.nt, sample = "IGH_MVQ92552A_BL", type = "aminoAcid",
method = "ClustalW", output = "consule")use default substitution matrixSearching for sequences
To search for one or more amino acid or nucleotide CDR3 sequences in
a list of data frames, use the function searchSeq. You may
specify to search in either a list of productive or unproductive data
frames.

2 TRB_CD8_949 CASSPVSNEQFF 2 0.008923791 2If you have only a partial sequence, set the parameter match to
"partial". If you are looking for related sequences that
differ by one or more nucleotides or amino acids, then increase the
editDistance value. Edit distance is a way of quantifying
how dissimilar two sequences are to one another by counting the minimum
number of operations required to transform one sequence into the other.
For example, an edit distance of 0 means the sequences are identical and
an edit distance of 1 indicates that the sequences differ by a single
amino acid or nucleotide.

Visualizing repertoire diversity
Antigen receptor repertoire diversity can be characterized by a
number such as clonality or Gini coefficient calculated by the
clonality function. Alternatively, you can visualize the
repertoire diversity by plotting the Lorenz curve for each sample as
defined above. In this plot, the more diverse samples will appear near
the dotted diagonal line (the line of equality) whereas the more clonal
samples will appear to have a more bowed shape.
Alternatively, you can get a feel for the repertoire diversity by
plotting the cumulative frequency of a selected number of the top most
frequent clones using the function topSeqsPlot. In this
case, each of the top sequences are represented by a different color and
all less frequent clones will be assigned a single color (violet).
Both of these functions are built using the ggplot2 package. You can
reformat the plot using ggplot2 functions. Please refer to the
lorenzCurve and topSeqsPlot manual for
specific examples.
Comparing samples
To compare the T or B cell repertoires of all samples in a pairwise
fashion, use the bhattacharyyaMatrix or
similarityMatrix functions. Both the Bhattacharyya
coefficient and similarity score are measures of the amount of overlap
between two samples. The value for each ranges from 0 to 1 where 1
indicates the sequence frequencies are identical in the two samples and
0 indicates no shared frequencies. The Bhattacharyya coefficient differs
from the similarity score in that it involves weighting each shared
sequence in the two distributions by the arithmetic mean of the
frequency of each sequence, while calculating the similarity scores
involves weighting each shared sequence in the two distributions by the
geometric mean of the frequency of each sequence in the two
distributions.

4 CASSFGIQETQYF 0.01404692 0.09570523To visualize the number of overlapping sequences between two or three
samples in the form of a Venn diagram, use the function
commonSeqVenn.
commonSeqsVenn(samples = c("TRB_Unsorted_32", "TRB_Unsorted_83"),
productive.seqs = productive.TRB.aa)
commonSeqsVenn(samples = c("TRB_Unsorted_0", "TRB_Unsorted_32", "TRB_Unsorted_83"),
productive.seqs = productive.TRB.aa)
To compare the frequency of sequences between two samples as a
scatter plot, use the function commonSeqsPlot.
commonSeqsPlot("TRB_Unsorted_32", "TRB_Unsorted_83",
productive.aa = productive.TRB.aa, show = "common")
If you have more than 3 samples to compare, use the
commonSeqBar function. You can chose to color a single
sample with the color.sample argument or a desired
intersection with the color.intersection argument.
Differential abundance
When comparing a sample from two different time points, it is useful
to identify sequences that are significantly more or less abundant in
one versus the other time point (DeWitt, W.S.,
et al. Journal of Virology 2015 89(8):4517-4526). The
differentialAbundance function uses a Fisher exact test to
calculate differential abundance of each sequence in two time points and
reports the log2 transformed fold change, P value and adjusted P
value.
differentialAbundance(list = productive.TRB.aa,
sample1 = "TRB_Unsorted_949",
sample2 = "TRB_Unsorted_1320",

To create a data frame of unique, productive amino acid sequences as
rows and sample names as headers use the seqMatrix
function. Each value in the data frame represents the frequency that
each sequence appears in the sample. You can specify your own list of
sequences or all unique sequences in the list using the output of the
function uniqueSeqs. The uniqueSeqs function
creates a data frame of all unique, productive sequences and reports the
total count in all samples.

To visually track the frequency of sequences across multiple samples,
use the function cloneTrack. This function takes the output
from the seqMatrix function. You can specify a character
vector of amino acid sequences using the parameter track to
highlight those sequences with a different color. Alternatively, you can
highlight all of the sequences from a given sample using the parameter
map. If the mapping feature is use, then you must specify a
productive amino acid list and a character vector of labels to title the
mapped samples. To hide sequences that are not being tracked or mapped,
set unassigned to FALSE.
cloneTrack(sequence.matrix = sequence.matrix,
productive.aa = productive.TRB.aa,
map = c("TRB_CD4_949", "TRB_CD8_949"),
label = c("CD4", "CD8"),
track = "CASSPPTGERDTQYF",
unassigned = FALSE)
Refer to the cloneTrack manual for examples on how to
reformat the chart using ggplot2 function.
Comparing V(D)J gene usage
To compare the V, D, and J gene usage across samples, start by
creating a data frame of V, D, and J gene counts and frequencies using
the function geneFreq. You can specify if you are
interested in the “VDJ”, “DJ”, “VJ”, “DJ”, “V”, “D”, or “J” loci using
the locus parameter. Set family to TRUE if you
prefer the family names instead of the gene names as reported by
ImmunoSeq.

3 TRB_Unsorted_949 TCRBV04 780 14.928230
4 TRB_Unsorted_949 TCRBV05 398 7.617225
5 TRB_Unsorted_949 TCRBV06 413 7.904306
6 TRB_Unsorted_949 TCRBV07 475 9.090909To create a chord diagram showing VJ or DJ gene associations from one
or more more samples, combine the output of geneFreq with
the function chordDiagramVDJ. This function works well the
topSeqs function that creates a data frame of a selected
number of top productive sequences. In the example below, a chord
diagram is made showing the association between V and J genes of just
the single dominant clones in each sample. The size of the ribbons
connecting VJ genes correspond to the number of samples that have that
recombination event. The thicker the ribbon, the higher the frequency of
the recombination.
top.seqs <- topSeqs(productive.seqs = productive.TRB.nt, top = 1)
chordDiagramVDJ(sample = top.seqs,
association = "VJ",
colors = c("darkred", "navyblue"))
You can also visualize the results of geneFreq as a heat
map, word cloud, our cumulative frequency bar plot with the support of
additional R packages as shown below.
vGenes <- geneFreq(productive.nt = productive.TRB.nt, locus = "V", family = TRUE)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(grDevices)
RedBlue <- grDevices::colorRampPalette(rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(11, "RdBu")))(256)
library(wordcloud)
wordcloud::wordcloud(words = vGenes[vGenes$samples == "TRB_Unsorted_83", "familyName"],
freq = vGenes[vGenes$samples == "TRB_Unsorted_83", "frequencyGene"],
colors = RedBlue)
library(reshape)
vGenes <- reshape::cast(vGenes, familyName ~ samples, value = "frequencyGene", sum)
rownames(vGenes) = as.character(vGenes$familyName)
vGenes$familyName = NULL
library(pheatmap)
pheatmap::pheatmap(vGenes, color = RedBlue, scale = "row")
vGenes <- geneFreq(productive.nt = productive.TRB.nt, locus = "V", family = TRUE)
library(ggplot2)
multicolors <- grDevices::colorRampPalette(rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(9, "Set1")))(28)
ggplot2::ggplot(vGenes, aes(x = samples, y = frequencyGene, fill = familyName)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
theme_minimal() +
scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) +
guides(fill = guide_legend(ncol = 2)) +
scale_fill_manual(values = multicolors) +
labs(y = "Frequency (%)", x = "", fill = "") +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5, hjust = 1))
Removing sequences
Occasionally you may identify one or more sequences in your data set
that appear to be contamination. You can remove an amino acid sequence
from all data frames using the function removeSeq and
recompute frequencyCount for all remaining sequences.

searchSeq(list = cleansed, sequence = "CASSESAGSTGELFF")No sequences found.Merging samples
If you need to combine multiple samples into one, use the
mergeFiles function. It merges two or more sample data
frames into a single data frame and aggregates count, frequencyCount,
and estimatedNumberGenomes.
Conclusion
Advances in high-throughput sequencing have enabled characterizing T and B lymphocyte repertoires with unprecedented depth. LymphoSeq was developed as a tool to assist in the analysis of targeted next generation sequencing of the hypervariable CDR3 region of T and B cell receptors. The three key features of this R package are to characterize lymphocyte repertoire diversity, compare two or more lymphocyte repertoires, and track the frequency of CDR3 sequences across multiple samples. LymphoSeq also provides the unique ability to search for sequences in a curated database of published TCRB sequences with known antigen specificity. Finally, LymphoSeq can assign the percent prevalence that any given TCRB sequence appears in a the peripheral blood in healthy population of donors.
