(MeD)IP-seq data analysis

Description

MEDIPS was developed for analyzing data derived from methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) experiments followed by sequencing (MeDIP-seq). Nevertheless, several functionalities may be applied to other types of sequencing data (e.g. differential coverage or testing the saturation of ChIP-seq data). MEDIPS addresses several aspects in the context of MeDIP-seq data analysis including basic data processing, several quality controls, normalization, and identification of differential coverage.

Calculates CpG enrichment of provided short reads compared to the reference genome.

Description

As a quality check for the enrichment of CpG rich DNA fragments obtained by the immunoprecipitation step of a MeDIP experiment, this function provides the functionality to calculate CpG enrichment values. The main idea is to check, how strong the regions are enriched for CpGs compared to the reference genome. For this, the function counts the number of Cs, the number of Gs, the number CpGs, and the total number of bases within the stated reference genome. Subsequently, the function calculates the relative frequency of CpGs and the observed/expected ratio of CpGs present in the reference genome. Additionally, the function calculates the same for the DNA sequences underlying the given regions. The final enrichment values result by dividing the relative frequency of CpGs (or the observed/expected value, respectively) of the regions by the relative frequency of CpGs (or the observed/expected value, respectively) of the reference genome.

regions.merged=MEDIPS.mergeFrames(regions)

regions.merged

Creates one merged MEDIPS SET out of two.

Description

A MEDIPS SET contains a genome vector which is the count coverage at genome wide windows. Moreover, the MEDIPS SET stores the total number of reads given for calculating the genome vector. Two MEDIPS SETs can be merged whenever they have been construcetd based on the same reference genome, the same set of chromosomes and for the same window size. The returned MEDIPS SET will contain a genome vector where at each window the counts of both given MEDIPS SETs are added. In addtion, the total number of reads will be the sum of both given MEDIPS SETs. Please note, several other attributes like the extend or shift value can be different in both of the given MEDIPS SETs and will be empty in the merged MEDIPS SET. The merged MEDIPS SET will not contain any path to a concrete input file anymore and therefore, cannot be used for the MEDIPS.addCNV function anymore.

Usage

merged_Set

Funtion summarizes coverage profiles for given MEDIPS SETs and allows to calculate differental coverage and copy number vartiation, if applicable.

Description

The function summarizes coverage profiles (counts, rpkm) for given MEDIPS SETs at the slots MSet1, MSet2, ISet1, and ISet1. In case the parameter MeDIP is set to TRUE and a COUPLING SET was provided at the slot CS, the function will calculate CpG density normalized methylation profiles (relative methylation score, rms) for the MEDIPS SETs at the slots MSet1 and MSet2. In case two groups of MEDIPS SETs have been provided at MSet1 and MSet2, the function will calculate differential coverage. In case two groups of MEDIPS SETs have been provided at ISet1 and ISet2 and the parameter CNV was set to TRUE, the function will calculate copy number variation. The function allows for processing a variable number of provided MEDIPS SETs and therefore, the returned matrix is of variable length.

Usage

MEDIPS.meth(MSet1 = NULL, MSet2 = NULL, CSet = NULL, ISet1 = NULL, ISet2 = NULL, chr = NULL, p.adj="bonferroni", diff.method="edgeR", CNV=FALSE, MeDIP=FALSE, minRowSum=10, diffnorm="tmm")

has to be one or a concatenated list of Input derived MEDIPS SET objects (general Input data or Inputs from the control replicates) or empty

ISet2

has to be one or a concatenated list of Input derived MEDIPS SET objects (Inputs from the treatment replicates) or empty

chr

specify one or several chromosomes (e.g. c("chr1", "chr2")), if only a subset of available chromosomes have to be processed.

p.adj

in order to correct p.values derived from the differential coverage analysis for multiple testing, MEDIPS uses Rs' p.adjust function. Therefore, the following methods are available: holm, hochberg, hommel, bonferroni (default) , BH, BY, fdr, none.

diff.method

method for calculating differential coverage. Available methods: ttest (default) and edgeR.

CNV

In case there are INPUT SETs provided at both Input slots (i.e. ISet1 and ISet2), copy number variation will be tested by applying the package DNAcopy to the window-wise log-ratios calculated based on the the means per group. By setting CNV=F this function will be disabled (default: CNV=TRUE). Please note, there is the function MEDIPS.addCNV which allows to run the CNV analysis on two groups of INPUT SETs using another (typically increased) window size.

MeDIP

This parameter determines, whether for the MEDIPS SETs given at the slots MSet1 and MSet2, CpG density dependent normalization values (rms and prob) will be calculated (default: MeDIP=TRUE).

default="all". It is recommended to call a graphics device (e.g. png("calibrationPlot.png")) before calling the plot command, because R might not be able to plot the full amount of data in reasonable time.

rpkm

can be either TRUE or FALSE. If set to TRUE, the methylation signals will be transformed into rpkm before plotted. The coupling values remain untouched. It is necessary to set rpkm=T, if both, a MSet and an ISet are given and plotted at the same time.

main

The title of the calibration plot.

xrange

The signal range of the calibration curve typically falls into a low signal range. By setting the xrange parameter to TRUE, the calibration plot will visualize the low signal range only.

Value

The calibration plot will be visualized.

bam.file.hESCs.Rep1.MeDIP = system.file("extdata", "hESCs.MeDIP.Rep1.chr22.bam", package="MEDIPSData")

cr=MEDIPS.seqCoverage(file=bam.file.hESCs.Rep1.MeDIP, pattern="CG", BSgenome="BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19", chr.select="chr22", extend=250, shift=0, uniq=1e-3, paired=FALSE)

MEDIPS.plotSeqCoverage(seqCoverageObj=cr, main="Sequence pattern coverage", type="pie", cov.level = c(0,1,2,3,4,5))

Function calculates the saturation/reproducibility of the provided IP-Seq data.

Description

The saturation analysis addresses the question, whether the number of short reads is sufficient to generate a saturated and reproducible coverage profile of the reference genome. The main idea is that an insufficent number of short reads will not result in a saturated methylation profile. Only if there is a sufficient number of short reads, the resulting genome wide coverage profile will be reproducible by another independent set of a similar number of short reads.

Usage

MEDIPS.saturation(file=NULL, BSgenome=NULL, nit=10, nrit=1, empty_bins=TRUE, rank=FALSE, extend=0, shift=0,  window_size=500, uniq=1e-3, chr.select=NULL, paired = F, isSecondaryAlignment = FALSE, simpleCigar=TRUE)

Arguments

file

Path and file name of the IP data

BSgenome

The reference genome name as defined by BSgenome

nit

defines the number of subsets created from the full sets of available regions (default=10)

nrit

methods which randomly select data entries may be processed several times in order to obtain more stable results. By specifying the nrit parameter (default=1) it is possible to run the saturation analysis several times. The final results returned to the saturation results object are the averaged results of each random iteration step.

empty_bins

can be either TRUE or FALSE (default TRUE). This parameter effects the way of calculating correlations between the resulting genome vectors. A genome vector consists of concatenated vectors for each included chromosome. The size of the vectors is defined by the bin_size parameter. If there occur genomic bins which contain no overlapping regions, neither from the subsets of A nor from the subsets of B, these bins will be neglected when the paramter is set to FALSE.

rank

can be either TRUE or FALSE (default FALSE). This parameter also effects the way of calculating correlations between the resulting genome vectors. If rank is set to TRUE, the correlation will be calculated for the ranks of the windows instead of considering the counts (Spearman correlation). Setting this parameter to TRUE is a more robust approach that reduces the effect of possible occuring outliers (these are windows with a very high number of overlapping regions) to the correlation.

extend

defines the number of bases by which the region will be extended before the genome vector is calculated. Regions will be extended along the plus or the minus strand as defined by their provided strand information. Please note, the extend and shift parameter are mutual exclusive.

shift

defines the number of bases by which the region will be shifted before the genome vector is calculated. Regions will be shifted along the plus or the minus strand as defined by their provided strand information. Please note, the extend and shift parameter are mutual exclusive.

window_size

defines the size of genome wide windows and therefore, the size of the genome vector.

uniq

The uniq parameter determines, if all reads mapping to exactly the same genomic position should be kept (uniq = 0), replaced by only one representative (uniq = 1), or if the number of stacked reads should be capped by a maximal number of stacked reads per genomic position determined by a poisson distribution of stacked reads genome wide and by a given p-value (1 > uniq > 0) (deafult: 1e-3). The smaller the p-value, the more reads at the same genomic position are potentially allowed.

chr.select

specify a subset of chromosomes for which the saturation analysis is performed.

paired

option for paired end reads

isSecondaryAlignment

option to import only primary alignments.

simpleCigar

option to import only alignments with simple Cigar string.

Value

distinctSets

Contains the results of each iteration step (row-wise) of the saturation analysis. The first column is the number of considered regions in each set, the second column is the resulting pearson correlation coefficient when comparing the two independent genome vectors.

estimation

Contains the results of each iteration step (row-wise) of the estimated saturation analysis. The first column is the number of considered regions in each set, the second column is the resulting pearson correlation coefficient when comparing the two independent genome vectors.

distinctSets

the total number of available regions

maxEstCor

contains the best pearson correlation (second column) obtained by considering the artifically doubled set of reads (first column)

distinctSets

contains the best pearson correlation (second column) obtained by considering the total set of reads (first column)

Selects row-wise subsets of a result table as returned by the MEDIPS.meth function.

Description

MEDIPS provides the functionality to select subsets of the result matrix returned by the MEDIPS.meth function according to any given set of regions of interest (ROIs).

Usage

MEDIPS.selectROIs(results=NULL, rois=NULL, columns=NULL, summarize=NULL)

Arguments

results

a result table as returned by the function MEDIPS.meth

rois

A matrix containing genomic coordinates of any regions of interest.

columns

Only selected columns will be returned as determined by the columns parameter. It is possible to specify one or more concrete column names, please see an example below.

summarize

By setting summarize=NULL (default) all windows included in the genomic ranges of the given ROIs will be returned. As an alternative, it is possible to calculate mean (summarize = "avg") or sum (summarize = "sum") values over the individual windows included in each ROI, or to select only the most significant window within each given ROI (summarize="minP").

rois=data.frame(chr=c("chr22","chr22"), start=c(19136001, 19753401), stop=c(19136200, 19753500), ID=c("ID_1", "ID_2"))
columns=names(resultTable)[grep("counts|rpkm|logFC",names(resultTable))]
s = MEDIPS.selectROIs(results=resultTable, rois=rois, columns=columns, summarize=NULL)

Selects windows which show significant differential coverage between two MEDIPS SETs from a resultTable (as returned by the function MEDIPS.meth).

Description

Based on the results table returned by the MEDIPS.meth function, the function selects windows which show significant differential coverage between the two groups of MEDIPS SETs. Selection of significant windows follows according to the specification of the available parameters.

Usage

MEDIPS.selectSig(results=NULL, p.value=0.01, adj=T, ratio=NULL, bg.counts=NULL, CNV=F)

Arguments

results

specifies the result table derived from the MEDIPS.meth function.

p.value

this is the p.value threshold as calculated either by the ttest or edgeR method

adj

this parameter specifies whether the p.value or the adjusted p.values is considered

ratio

this parameter sets an additional thresold for the ratio where the ratio is either score.log2.ratio or edgeR.logFC depending on the previously selected method. Please note, the specified value will be transformed into log2 internally.

bg.counts

as an additional filter parameter, it is possible to require a minimal number of reads per window in at least one of the MEDIPS SET groups. For this, the mean of counts per group is considered. The parameter bg.counts can either be a concrete integer or an appropriate column name of the result table. By specifying a column name, the 0.95 quantile of the according genome wide count distribution is determined and used as a minimal background threshold (please note, only count columns are reasonable).

CNV

The information on CNVs present in the samples of interest can be used for correcting differential coverage observed in the corresponding IP data (e.g. MeDIP or ChIP data). In case Input data has been provided for both conditions, MEDIPS is capable of calculating genome wide CNV ratios by employing the package DNAcopy. In case the parameter CNV is set to TRUE, MEDIPS will subtract the CNV ratio from the IP ratio. Subsequently, only genomic windows having a CNV corrected IP ratio higher than the specified ratio threshold (specification of the ratio parameter is required in this case) will be considered as windows with sufficient differential IP coverage.

The function identifies the number of CpGs (or any other predefined sequence pattern) covered by the given short reads.

Description

The main idea of the sequence pattern coverage analysis is to test the number of CpGs (or any other predefined sequence pattern) covered by the given short reads and to test the depth of coverage.

Usage

MEDIPS.seqCoverage(file = NULL, BSgenome = NULL, pattern = "CG", extend = 0, shift = 0, uniq = 1e-3, chr.select = NULL, paired = F, isSecondaryAlignment = FALSE, simpleCigar=TRUE)

extend

defines the number of bases by which the region will be extended before the genome vector is calculated. Regions will be extended along the plus or the minus strand as defined by their provided strand information. Please note, the extend and shift parameter are mutual exclusive.

shift

defines the number of bases by which the region will be shifted before the genome vector is calculated. Regions will be shifted along the plus or the minus strand as defined by their provided strand information. Please note, the extend and shift parameter are mutual exclusive.

uniq

The uniq parameter determines, if all reads mapping to exactly the same genomic position should be kept (uniq = 0), replaced by only one representative (uniq = 1), or if the number of stacked reads should be capped by a maximal number of stacked reads per genomic position determined by a poisson distribution of stacked reads genome wide and by a given p-value (1 > uniq > 0) (deafult: 1e-3). The smaller the p-value, the more reads at the same genomic position are potentially allowed.

Funtion to annotate a matrix of genomic coordinates (i.e. a result table) by a given annotation object.

Description

The function appends any annotation IDs included in the given annotation object to the given regions object. An annotation object can be retrived by the MEDIPS.getAnnotation function and the regions object is typically a (filtered) result table as returned by the MEDIPS.meth function. An annotation ID is appended to a genomic region if their genomic coordinates overlap by at least one base. There will be as many columns added to the regions object as overlapping annotations exist in the annotation object.

Usage

MEDIPS.setAnnotation(regions, annotation, cnv=F)

Arguments

regions

a matrix that contains row-wise genomic regions, e.g. as a result of the MEDIPS.meth function.

annotation

the annotation data object contains the genomic coordinates of annotations. An annotation object can be e.g. retrived by the MEDIPS.getAnnotation function.

cnv

the MEDIPS.setAnnotation function is also internally used by the MEDIPS.addCNV function which automatically sets this parameter to TRUE. Otherwise cnv should be set to FALSE.

Value

The provided result object with added columns containing overlapping annotations.
