(Legacy) "AlignedRead" class for aligned short reads

Description

This class represents and manipulates reads and their genomic alignments. Alignment information includes genomic position, strand, quality, and other data.

Objects from the Class

Objects of this class can be created from a call to the AlignedRead constructor, or more typically by parsing appropriate files (e.g., readAligned).

Slots

chromosome

Object of class "factor" the particular sequence within a set of target sequences (e.g. chromosomes in a genome assembly) to which each short read aligns.

position

Object of class "integer" the (base-pair) position in the genome to which the read is aligned. AlignedRead objects created by readAligned use 1-based indexing, with alignemnts reported in ‘left-most’ coordinates, as described in the vignette.

strand

Object of class "factor" the strand of the alignment.

alignQuality

Object of class "numeric" representing an alignment quality score.

alignData

Object of class "AlignedDataFrame" additional alignment information.

quality

Object of class "BStringSet" representing base-call read quality scores.

sread

Object of class "DNAStringSet" DNA sequence of the read.

id

Object of class "BStringSet" read identifier.

Extends

Class "ShortReadQ", directly. Class "ShortRead", by class "ShortReadQ", distance 2. Class ".ShortReadBase", by class "ShortReadQ", distance 3.

Methods

See accessors for additional functions to access slot content, and ShortReadQ, ShortRead for inherited methods. Additional methods include:

[

signature(x = "AlignedRead", i = "ANY", j = "missing"): This method creates a new AlignedRead object containing only those reads indexed by i. chromosome is recoded to contain only those levels in the new subset.

append

signature(x = "AlignedRead", values = "AlignedRead"): append values after x. chromosome and strand must be factors with the same levels. See methods for ShortReadQ, AlignedDataFrame for details of how these components of x and y are appended.

coerce

signature(from = "PairwiseAlignments", to = "AlignedRead"):

signature(from = "AlignedRead", to = "IntegerRangesList"): signature(from = "AlignedRead", to = "GRanges"): signature(from = "AlignedRead", to = "GAlignments"): signature(from = "AlignedRead", to = "GappedReads"):

Invoke these methods with, e.g., as(from, "AlignedRead") to coerce objects of class from to class "AlignedRead".

Coercion from AlignedRead to IntegerRangesList or GRanges assumes that position(from) uses a ‘leftmost’ (see coverage on this page) coordinate system. Since IntegerRangesList objects cannot store NA values, reads with NA in the position, width, chromosome or (in the case of GRanges) strand vectors are dropped.

chromosome

signature(object = "AlignedRead"): access the chromosome slot of object.

position

signature(object = "AlignedRead"): access the position slot of object.

strand

signature(object = "AlignedRead"): access the strand slot of object.

coverage

signature(x = "AlignedRead", shift = 0L, width = NULL, weight = 1L, ..., coords = c("leftmost", "fiveprime"), extend=0L):

Calculate coverage across reads present in x.

shift must be either 0L or a named integer vector with names including all levels(chromosome(x)). It specifies how the reads in x should be (horizontally) shifted before the coverage is computed.

width must be either NULL or a named vector of non-negative integers with names including all levels(chromosome(x)). In the latter case, it specifies for each chromosome the end of the chromosome region over which coverage is to be calculated after the reads have been shifted. Note that this region always starts at chromosome position 1. If width is NULL, it ends at the rightmost chromosome position covered by at least one read.

weight must be 1L for now (weighting the reads is not supported yet, sorry).

coords specifies the coordinate system used to record position. Both systems number base pairs from left to right on the 5' strand. leftmost indicates the eland convention, where position(x) is the left-most (minimum) base pair, regardless of strand. fiveprime is the MAQ convention, where position(x) is the coordinate of the 5' end of the aligned read.

extend indicates the number of base pairs to extend the read. Extension is in the 3' direction, measured from the 3' end of the aligned read.

The return value of coverage is a SimpleRleList object.

%in%

signature(x = "AlignedRead", table = "IntegerRangesList"):

Return a length(x) logical vector indicating whether the chromosome, position, and width of x overlap with ranges in table. Reads for which chromosome(), position(), or width() return NA never overlap with table. This function assumes that positions are in ‘leftmost’ coordinates, as defined in coverage.

srorder

signature(x = "AlignedRead", ..., withSread=TRUE):

srrank

signature(x = "AlignedRead", ..., withSread=TRUE):

srsort

signature(x = "AlignedRead", ..., withSread=TRUE):

srduplicated

signature(x = "AlignedRead", ..., withSread=TRUE):

Order, rank, sort, and find duplicates in AlignedRead objects. Reads are sorted by chromosome, strand, position, and then (if withSread=TRUE) sread; less fine-grained sorting can be accomplished with, e.g., x[srorder(sread(x))]. srduplicated behaves like duplicated, i.e., the first copy of a duplicate is FALSE while the remaining copies are TRUE.

show

signature(object = "AlignedRead"): provide a compact display of the AlignedRead content.

detail

signature(x = "AlignedRead"): display alignData in more detail.

Usage

alphabetByCycle(stringSet, alphabet, ...)

Arguments

stringSet

A R object representing the collection of reads, amino acid sequences, or quality scores, to be summarized.

alphabet

The alphabet (character vector of length 1 strings) from which the sequences in stringSet are composed. Methods often define an appropriate alphabet, so that the user does not have to provide one.

...

Additional arguments, perhaps used by methods defined on this generic.

Details

The default method requires that stringSet extends the XStringSet class of Biostrings.

The following method is defined, in addition to methods described in class-specific documentation:

alphabetByCycle

Summarize low-complexity sequences

Description

dustyScore identifies low-complexity sequences, in a manner inspired by the dust implementation in BLAST.

Usage

dustyScore(x, batchSize=NA, ...)

Arguments

x

A DNAStringSet object, or object derived from ShortRead, containing a collection of reads to be summarized.

batchSize

NA or an integer(1) vector indicating the maximum number of reads to be processed at any one time.

...

Additional arguments, not currently used.

Details

The following methods are defined:

dustyScore

signature(x = "DNAStringSet"): operating on an object derived from class DNAStringSet.

dustyScore

signature(x = "ShortRead"): operating on the sread of an object derived from class ShortRead.

The dust-like calculations used here are as implemented at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-sig-sequencing/2009-February/000170.html. Scores range from 0 (all triplets unique) to the square of the width of the longest sequence (poly-A, -C, -G, or -T).

The batchSize argument can be used to reduce the memory requirements of the algorithm by processing the x argument in batches of the specified size. Smaller batch sizes use less memory, but are computationally less efficient.

Value

A vector of numeric scores, with length equal to the length of x.

ExperimentPath(experimentPath)

experimentPath

character(1) object pointing to the top-level directory of the experiment; see specific technology classes for additional detail.

verbose=FALSE

(optional) logical vector which, when TRUE results in warnings if paths do not exist.

All paths must be fully-specified.

Slots

ExperimentPath has one slot, containing a fully specified path to the corresponding directory (described above).

basePath

See above.

The slot is accessed with experimentPath.

Extends

Class ".ShortReadBase", directly.

Sampling and streaming records from fastq files

Description

FastqFile represents a path and connection to a fastq file. FastqFileList is a list of such connections.

FastqSampler draws a subsample from a fastq file. yield is the method used to extract the sample from the FastqSampler instance; a short illustration is in the example below. FastqSamplerList is a list of FastqSampler elements.

FastqStreamer draws successive subsets from a fastq file, a short illustration is in the example below. FastqStreamerList is a list of FastqStreamer elements.

Usage

## FastqFile and FastqFileList
FastqFile(con, ...)
FastqFileList(..., class="FastqFile")
## S3 method for class 'ShortReadFile'
open(con, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ShortReadFile'
close(con, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FastqFile'
readFastq(dirPath, pattern=character(), ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FastqFile'
countFastq(dirPath, pattern=character(), ...)

## FastqSampler and FastqStreamer
FastqSampler(con, n=1e6, readerBlockSize=1e8, verbose=FALSE,
    ordered = FALSE)
FastqSamplerList(..., n=1e6, readerBlockSize=1e8, verbose=FALSE,
    ordered = FALSE)
FastqStreamer(con, n, readerBlockSize=1e8, verbose=FALSE)
FastqStreamerList(..., n, readerBlockSize=1e8, verbose=FALSE)
yield(x, ...)

Arguments

con, dirPath

A character string naming a connection, or (for con) an R connection (e.g., file, gzfile).

n

For FastqSampler, the size of the sample (number of records) to be drawn. For FastqStreamer a numeric(1) (set to 1e6 when n is missing) providing the number of successive records to be returned on each yield, or an IRanges-class delimiting the (1-based) indicies of records returned by each yield; entries in n must have non-zero width and must not overlap.

readerBlockSize

The number of bytes or characters to be read at one time; smaller readerBlockSize reduces memory requirements but is less efficient.

verbose

Display progress.

ordered

logical(1) indicating whether sampled reads should be returned in the same order as they were encountered in the file.

x

An instance from the FastqSampler or FastqStreamer class.

...

Additional arguments. For FastqFileList, FastqSamplerList, or FastqStreamerList, this can either be a single character vector of paths to fastq files, or several instances of the corresponding FastqFile, FastqSampler, or FastqStreamer objects.

pattern

Ignored.

class

For developer use, to specify the underlying class contained in the FastqFileList.

Objects from the class

Available classes include:

FastqFile

A file path and connection to a fastq file.

FastqFileList

A list of FastqFile instances.

FastqSampler

Uniformly sample records from a fastq file.

FastqStreamer

Iterate over a fastq file, returning successive parts of the file.

Methods

The following methods are available to users:

readFastq,FastqFile-method:

see also ?readFastq.

writeFastq,ShortReadQ,FastqFile-method:

see also ?writeFastq, ?"writeFastq,ShortReadQ,FastqFile-method".

countFastq,FastqFile-method:

see also ?countFastq.

yield:

Draw a single sample from the instance. Operationally this requires that the underlying data (e.g., file) represented by the Sampler instance be visited; this may be time consuming.

Note

FastqSampler and FastqStreamer use OpenMP threads, when available, during creation of the return value. This may cause the OpenMP implementation 'libgomp' to produce an error, if these functions are called in a parallel R process, e.g.:

    libgomp: Thread creation failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
  

A solution is to precede problematic code with the following code snippet, to disable OpenMP multi-threading:

    nthreads <- .Call(ShortRead:::.set_omp_threads, 1L)
    on.exit(.Call(ShortRead:::.set_omp_threads, nthreads))

rfq <- readFastq(f)
close(f)

f <- FastqSampler(fl, 50)

Filter fastq from one file to another

Description

filterFastq filters reads from source to destination file(s) applying a filter to reads in each file. The filter can be a function or FilterRules instance; operations are done in a memory-efficient manner.

Usage

filterFastq(files, destinations, ..., filter = FilterRules(),
    compress=TRUE, yieldSize = 1000000L)

Arguments

files

a character vector of valid file paths.

destinations

a character vector of destinations, recycled to be the same length as files. destinations must not already exist.

...

Additional arguments, perhaps used by a filter function.

filter

A simple function taking as it's first argument a ShortReadQ instance and returning a modified ShortReadQ instance (e.g., with records or nucleotides removed), or a FilterRules instance specifying which records are to be removed.

compress

A logical(1) indicating whether the file should be gz-compressed. The default is TRUE.

yieldSize

Number of fastq records processed in each call to filter; increase this for (marginally) more efficient I/O at the expense of increased memory use.

trimEnds(fl, "V", destinations=tempfile())

(Legacy) "Intensity", "IntensityInfo", and "IntensityMeasure" base classes for short read image intensities

Description

The Intensity, IntensityMeasure, and IntensityInfo classes represent and manipulate image intensity measures. Instances from the class may also contain information about measurement errors, and additional information about the reads from which the intensities are derived.

Intensity, and IntensityMeasure, are virtual classes, and cannot be created directly. Classes derived from IntensityMeasure (e.g., ArrayIntensity) and Intensity (e.g., SolexaIntensity) are used to represent specific technologies.

Objects from the Class

ArrayIntensity objects can be created with calls of the form ArrayIntensity(array(0, c(1,2,3))).

Objects of derived classes can be created from calls such as the SolexaIntensity constructor, or more typically by parsing appropriate files (e.g., readIntensities).

Slots

Class Intensity has slots:

readInfo:

Object of class "IntensityInfo" containing columns for the lane, tile, x, and y coordinates of the read.

intensity:

Object of class "IntensityMeasure" containing image intensity data for each read and cycle.

measurementError:

Object of class "IntensityMeasure" containing measures of image intensity uncertainty for each read and cycle.

.hasMeasurementError:

Length 1 logical variable indicating whether intensity standard errors are included (internal use only).

Classes IntensityInfo and IntensityMeasure are virtual classes, and have no slots.

Extends

These classes extend ".ShortReadBase", directly.

Methods

Methods and accessor functions for Intensity include:

readIntensityInfo

signature(object = "Intensity"): access the readInfo slot of object.

intensity

signature(object = "Intensity"): access the intensity slot of object.

measurementError

signature(object = "Intensity"): access the nse slot of object, or signal an error if no standard errors are available.

dim

signature(object = "Intensity"): return the dimensions (e.g., number of reads by number of cycles) represented by object.

show

signature(object = "Intensity"): provide a compact representation of the object.

Subsetting "[" is available for the IntensityMeasure class; the drop argument to "[" is ignored.

Subsetting with "[[" is available for the ArrayIntensity class. The method accepts three arguments, corresponding to the read, base, and cycle(s) to be selected. The return value is the array (i.e., underlying data values) corresponding to the selected indices.

Perform quality assessment on short reads

Description

This function is a common interface to quality assessment functions available in ShortRead. Results from this function may be displayed in brief, or integrated into reports using, e.g., report.

Usage

qa(dirPath, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
qa(dirPath, pattern=character(0), 
    type=c("fastq", "SolexaExport", "SolexaRealign", "Bowtie",
           "MAQMap", "MAQMapShort"),
    ...)
## S4 method for signature 'list'
qa(dirPath, ...)

Arguments

dirPath

A character vector or other object (e.g., SolexaPath; see showMethods, below) locating the data for which quality assessment is to be performed. See help pages for defined methods (by evaluating the example code, below) for details of available methods.

pattern

A character vector limiting the files in dirPath to be processed, as with list.files. Care should be taken to specify pattern to avoid reading unintended files.

type

The type of file being parsed; must be a character vector of length 1, selected from one of the types enumerated in the parameter.

...

Additional arguments used by methods.

sample=TRUE:

Logical(1) indicating whether QA should be performed on a sample (default size 1000000) drawn from each FASTQ file, or from the entire file.

n:

The number of reads to sample when processing FASTQ files.

Lpattern, Rpattern:

A character vector or XString object to be matched to the left end of a sequence. If either Lpattern or Rpattern are provided, trimLRPatterns is invoked to produce a measure of adapter contamination. Mismatch rates are 0.1 on the left and 0.2 on the right, with a minimum overlap of 10 nt.

BPPARAM:

How parallel evalutation will be performed. see BiocParallelParam; the default is BiocParallel::registered()[1].

Details

The most common use of this function provides a directory path and pattern identifying FASTQ files for quality assessment. The default is then to create a quality assessment report based on a random sample of n=1000000 reads from each file.

The following methods are defined, in addition to those on S4 formal classes documented elsewhere:

qa,character-method

Quality assessment is performed on all files in directory dirPath whose file name matches pattern. The type of analysis performed is based on the type argument. Use SolexaExport when all files matching pattern are Solexa _export.txt files. Use SolexaRealign for Solexa _realign.txt files. Use Bowtie for Bowtie files. Use MAQMapShort for MAQ map files produced by MAQ versions below 0.70 and MAQMap for more recent output. Use fastq for collections of fastq-format files. Quality assessment details vary depending on data source.

qa,list-method

dirPath is a list of objects, all of the same class and typically derived from ShortReadQ, on which quality assessment is performed. All elements of the list must have names, and these should be unique.

Value

An object derived from class .QA. Values contained in this object are meant for use by report

(Updated) classes for representing quality assessment results

Description

Classes derived from .QA-class represent results of quality assurance analyses.

Objects from the Class

Users create instances of many of these classes by calling the corresponding constructors, as documented on the help page for qa2. Classes constructed in this way include QACollate, QAFastqSource, QAAdapterContamination, QAFrequentSequence, QANucleotideByCycle, QANucleotideUse, QAQualityByCycle, QAQualityUse, QAReadQuality, and QASequenceUse.

The classes QASource, QAFiltered, QAFlagged and QASummary are generated internally, not by users.

Extends

.QA2 extends class ".ShortReadBase", directly.

QASummary is a virtual class extending .QA2; all user-creatable classes extend QASummary.

QASource extends QASummary. All classes used to represent raw data input (QAFastqSource) extend QASource.

QAData is a reference class, used to contain a single instance of the fastq used in all QA Summary steps.

QACollate extends .QA2. It contains a SimpleList instance with zero or more QASummary elements.

QA extends .QA2, and contains a SimpleList of zero or more QASummary elements. This class represents the results of the qa2 analysis.

Methods

Methods defined on this class include:

qa2

signature(object="QACollate", state, ..., verbose=FALSE) creates a QA report from the elements of QACollate. Methods on qa2 for objects extending class QASummary summarize QA statistics for that class, e.g., qa2,QAFrequentSequences-method implements the calculations required to summarize frequently used sequences, using data in state.

report

signature(x="QA", ...) creates an HTML report. Methods on report for objects extending class QASummary are responsible for creating the html snippet for that QA component.

flag

signature(object=".QA2", ..., verbose=FALSE) implements criteria to flag individual lanes as failing quality assessment. NOTE: flag is not fully implemented.

rbind

signature(...="QASummary"): rbind multiple summary elements of the same class, as when these have been created by separately calculating statistics on a number of fastq files.

show

signature(object = "SolexaExportQA"): Display an overview of the object contents.

The source, e.g., QAFastqSource, on which the quality assessment report will be based.

object

An instance of class derived from QA on which quality metrics will be derived; for end users, this is usually the result of QACollate.

.

state

The data on which quality assessment will be performed; this is not usually necessary for end-users.

verbose

logical(1) indicating whether progress reports should be reported.

filtered, flagged

Primarily for internal use, instances of QAFiltered and QAFlagged.

x

deparse.level

see rbind.

...

Additional arguments, e.g., html to specify the location of the html source to use as a template for the report.

Details

Use QACollate to specify an order in which components of a QA report are to be assembled. The first argument is the data source (e.g., QAFastqSource).

Functions related to data input include:

QAFastqSource

defines the location of fastq files to be included in the report. con is used to construct a FastqSampler instance, and records are processed using qa2,QAFastqSource-method.

QAData

is a class for representing the data during the QA report generation pass; it is primarily for internal use.

Possible elements in a QA report are:

QAFrequentSequence

identifies the most-commonly occuring sequences. One of n or a can be non-NA, and determine the number of frequent sequences reported. n specifies the number of most-frequent sequences to filter, e.g., n=10 would filter the top 10 most commonly occurring sequences; a provides a threshold frequency (count) above which reads are filtered. The sample is flagged when a fraction flagK of the reads are filtered.

reportSequences determines whether the most commonly occuring sequences, as determined by n or a, are printed in the html report.

QANucleotideByCycle

reports nucleotide frequency as a function of cycle.

QAQualityByCycle

reports average quality score as a function of cycle.

QAQualityUse

summarizes overall nucleotide qualities.

QAReadQuality

summarizes the distribution of read qualities.

QASequenceUse

summarizes the cumulative distribution of reads occurring 1, 2, ... times.

QAAdapterContamination

reports the occurrence of ‘adapter’ sequences on the left and / or right end of each read.

Value

Quality scores for short reads and their alignments

Description

This class hierarchy represents quality scores for short reads. QualityScore is a virtual base class, with derived classes offering different ways of representing qualities. Methods defined on QualityScore are implemented in all derived classes.

Objects from the Class

Objects from the class are created using constructors (e.g., NumericQuality) named after the class name.

Defined classes are as follows:

QualityScore

Virtual base class; instances cannot be instantiated.

NumericQuality

A single numeric vector, where values represent quality scores on an arbitrary scale.

IntegerQuality

A integer numeric vector, where values represent quality scores on an arbitrary scale.

MatrixQuality

A rectangular matrix of quality scores, with rows representing reads and columns cycles. The content and interpretation of row and column entries is arbitrary; the rectangular nature implies quality scores from equal-length reads.

FastqQuality

‘fastq’ encoded quality scores stored in a BStringSet instance. Base qualities of a single read are represented as an ASCII character string. The integer-valued quality score of a single base is encoded as its ASCII equivalent plus 33. The precise definition of the integer-valued quality score is unspecified, but is usually a Phred score; the meaning can be determined from the source of the quality scores. Multiple reads are stored as a BStringSet, and so can be of varying lengths.

SolexaQuality

As with FastqQuality, but with integer qualities encoded as ASCII equivalent plus 64.

Extends

Class ".ShortReadBase", directly.

Methods

The following methods are defined on all QualityScore and derived classes:

[

signature(x = "QualityScore", i = "ANY", j = "missing")

[

signature(x = "MatrixQuality", i = "ANY", j = "missing"):

Subset the object, with index i indicating the reads for which quality scores are to be extracted. The class of the result is the same as the class of x. It is an error to provide any argument other than i.

[[

signature(x = "QualityScore", i = "ANY", j = "ANY"):

Subset the object, returning the quality score (e.g., numeric value) of the ith read.

[[

signature(x = "MatrixQuality", i = "ANY", j = "ANY"):

Returns the vector of quality scores associated with the ith read.

dim

signature(x = "MatrixQuality"):

The integer(2) dimension (e.g., number of reads, read width) represented by the quality score.

length

signature(x = "QualityScore"):

length

signature(x = "MatrixQuality"):

The integer(1) length (e.g., number of reads) represented by the quality score. Note that length of MatrixQuailty is the number of rows of the corresponding matrix, and not the length of the corresponding numeric vector.

append

signature(x = "QualityScore", values = "QualityScore"): append values after x.

width

signature(x = "QualityScore"):

width

signature(x = "NumericQuality"):

width

signature(x = "MatrixQuality"):

width

signature(x = "FastqQuality"):

A numeric vector with length equal to the number of quality scores, and value equal to the number of quality scores for each read. For instance, a FastqQuality will have widths equal to the number of nucleotides in the underlying short read.

show

signature(object = "QualityScore"):

show

signature(object = "NumericQuality"):

show

signature(object = "FastqQuality"):

provide a brief summary of the object content.

detail

signature(x = "QualityScore"):

provide a more detailed view of object content.

The following methods are defined on specific classes:

alphabet

signature(x = "FastqQuality", ...): Return a character vector of valid quality characters.

encoding

signature(x = "FastqQuality", ...), signature(x = "SFastqQuality", ...): Returns a named character vector of integer encodings.

alphabetFrequency

signature(stringSet = "FastqQuality"):

Apply alphabetFrequency to quality scores, returning a matrix as described in alphabetFrequency.

alphabetByCycle

signature(stringSet = "FastqQuality"):

Apply alphabetByCycle to quality scores, returning a matrix as described in alphabetByCycle.

alphabetScore

signature(object = "FastqQuality"):

alphabetScore

signature(object = "SFastqQuality"):

alphabetScore

signature(object = "PhredQuality"):

Apply alphabetScore (i.e., summed base quality, per read) to object.

coerce

signature(from = "FastqQuality", to = "numeric"):

coerce

signature(from = "FastqQuality", to = "matrix"):

coerce

signature(from = "FastqQuality", to = "PhredQuality"):

coerce

signature(from = "SFastqQuality", to = "matrix"):

coerce

signature(from = "SFastqQuality", to = "SolexaQuality"):

Use as(from, "matrix")) and similar to coerce objects of class from to class to, using the quality encoding implied by the class. When to is “matrix”, the result is a matrix of type integer with number of columns equal to the maximum width of from; elements i, j with j > width(from)[i] have value NA_integer_. The result always represents the integer encoding of the corresponding quality string.

reverse

signature(x = "FastqQuality", ...: reverse the quality sequence.

narrow

signature(x = "FastqQuality", start = NA, end = NA, width = NA, use.names = TRUE): ‘narrow’ quality so that scores are between start and end bases, according to narrow in the IRanges package.

trimTailw

signature(object="FastqQuality", k="integer", a="character", halfwidth="integer", ..., ranges=FALSE): trim trailing nucleotides when a window of width 2 * halfwidth + 1 contains k or more quality scores falling at or below a.

trimTails

signature(object="FastqQuality", k="integer", a="character", successive=FALSE, ..., ranges=FALSE): trim trailing scores if k scores fall below the quality encoded by a. If successive=FALSE, the k'th failing score and all subseqent scores are trimmed. If successive=TRUE, failing scores must occur successively; the sequence is trimmed from the first of the successive failing score.

srorder

signature(x = "FastqQuality"):

srrank

signature(x = "FastqQuality"):

srduplicated

signature(x = "FastqQuality"):

Apply srsort, srorder, srrank, and srduplicated to quality scores, returning objects as described on the appropriate help page.

Integer representations of SFastqQuality and FastqQuality can be obtained with as(x, "matrix").

(Legacy) Read aligned reads and their quality scores into R representations

Description

Import files containing aligned reads into an internal representation of the alignments, sequences, and quality scores. Most methods (see ‘details’ for exceptions) read all files into a single R object.

Usage

readAligned(dirPath, pattern=character(0), ...)

Arguments

dirPath

A character vector (or other object; see methods defined on this generic) giving the directory path (relative or absolute; some methods also accept a character vector of file names) of aligned read files to be input.

pattern

The (grep-style) pattern describing file names to be read. The default (character(0)) results in (attempted) input of all files in the directory.

...

Additional arguments, used by methods. When dirPath is a character vector, the argument type must be provided. Possible values for type and their meaning are described below. Most methods implement filter=srFilter(), allowing objects of SRFilter to selectively returns aligned reads.

Details

There is no standard aligned read file format; methods parse particular file types.

The readAligned,character-method interprets file types based on an additional type argument. Supported types are:

type="SolexaExport"

This type parses .*_export.txt files following the documentation in the Solexa Genome Alignment software manual, version 0.3.0. These files consist of the following columns; consult Solexa documentation for precise descriptions. If parsed, values can be retrieved from AlignedRead as follows:

alignData

The following optional arguments, set to FALSE by default, influence data input

withMultiplexIndex

When TRUE, include the multiplex index as a column multiplexIndex in alignData.

withPairedReadNumber

When TRUE, include the paired read number as a column pairedReadNumber in alignData.

withId

When TRUE, construct an identifier string as ‘Machine_Run:Lane:Tile:X:Y#multiplexIndex/pairedReadNumber’. The substrings ‘#multiplexIndex’ and ‘/pairedReadNumber’ are not present if withMultiplexIndex=FALSE or withPairedReadNumber=FALSE.

withAll

A convencience which, when TRUE, sets all with* values to TRUE.

Note that not all paired read columns are interpreted. Different interfaces to reading alignment files are described in SolexaPath and SolexaSet.

type="SolexaPrealign"

See SolexaRealign

type="SolexaAlign"

See SolexaRealign

type="SolexaRealign"

These types parse s_L_TTTT_prealign.txt, s_L_TTTT_align.txt or s_L_TTTT_realign.txt files produced by default and eland analyses. From the Solexa documentation, align corresponds to unfiltered first-pass alignments, prealign adjusts alignments for error rates (when available), realign filters alignments to exclude clusters failing to pass quality criteria.

Because base quality scores are not stored with alignments, the object returned by readAligned scores all base qualities as -32.

If parsed, values can be retrieved from AlignedRead as follows:

Sequence

stored in sread

Best score

stored in alignQuality

Number of hits

stored in alignData

Target position

stored in position

Strand

stored in strand

Target sequence

Ignored; parse using readXStringColumns

Next best score

stored in alignData

type="SolexaResult"

This parses s_L_eland_results.txt files, an intermediate format that does not contain read or alignment quality scores.

Because base quality scores are not stored with alignments, the object returned by readAligned scores all base qualities as -32.

Columns of this file type can be retrieved from AlignedRead as follows (description of columns is from Table 19, Genome Analyzer Pipeline Software User Guide, Revision A, January 2008):

Id

Not parsed

Sequence

stored in sread

Type of match code

Stored in alignData as matchCode. Codes are (from the Eland manual): NM (no match); QC (no match due to quality control failure); RM (no match due to repeat masking); U0 (best match was unique and exact); U1 (best match was unique, with 1 mismatch); U2 (best match was unique, with 2 mismatches); R0 (multiple exact matches found); R1 (multiple 1 mismatch matches found, no exact matches); R2 (multiple 2 mismatch matches found, no exact or 1-mismatch matches).

Number of exact matches

stored in alignData as nExactMatch

Number of 1-error mismatches

stored in alignData as nOneMismatch

Number of 2-error mismatches

stored in alignData as nTwoMismatch

Genome file of match

stored in chromosome

Position

stored in position

Strand

(direction of match) stored in strand

‘N’ treatment

stored in alignData, as NCharacterTreatment. ‘.’ indicates treatment of ‘N’ was not applicable; ‘D’ indicates treatment as deletion; ‘|’ indicates treatment as insertion

Substitution error

stored in alignData as mismatchDetailOne and mismatchDetailTwo. Present only for unique inexact matches at one or two positions. Position and type of first substitution error, e.g., 11A represents 11 matches with 12th base an A in reference but not read. The reference manual cited below lists only one field (mismatchDetailOne), but two are present in files seen in the wild.

type="MAQMap", records=-1L

Parse binary map files produced by MAQ. See details in the next section. The records option determines how many lines are read; -1L (the default) means that all records are input. For type="MAQMap", dir and pattern must match a single file.

type="MAQMapShort", records=-1L

The same as type="MAQMap" but for map files made with Maq prior to version 0.7.0. (These files use a different maximum read length [64 instead of 128], and are hence incompatible with newer Maq map files.). For type="MAQMapShort", dir and pattern must match a single file.

type="MAQMapview"

Parse alignment files created by MAQ's ‘mapiew’ command. Interpretation of columns is based on the description in the MAQ manual, specifically

        ...each line consists of read name, chromosome, position,
        strand, insert size from the outer coordinates of a pair,
        paired flag, mapping quality, single-end mapping quality,
        alternative mapping quality, number of mismatches of the
        best hit, sum of qualities of mismatched bases of the best
        hit, number of 0-mismatch hits of the first 24bp, number
        of 1-mismatch hits of the first 24bp on the reference,
        length of the read, read sequence and its quality.
      

The read name, read sequence, and quality are read as XStringSet objects. Chromosome and strand are read as factors. Position is numeric, while mapping quality is numeric. These fields are mapped to their corresponding representation in AlignedRead objects.

Number of mismatches of the best hit, sum of qualities of mismatched bases of the best hit, number of 0-mismatch hits of the first 24bp, number of 1-mismatch hits of the first 24bp are represented in the AlignedRead object as components of alignData.

Remaining fields are currently ignored.

type="Bowtie"

Parse alignment files created with the Bowtie alignment algorithm. Parsed columns can be retrieved from AlignedRead as follows:

Identifier

id

Strand

strand

Chromosome

chromosome

Position

position; see comment below

Read

sread; see comment below

Read quality

quality; see comments below

Similar alignments

alignData, ‘similar’ column; Bowtie v. 0.9.9.3 (12 May, 2009) documents this as the number of other instances where the same read aligns against the same reference characters as were aligned against in this alignment. Previous versions marked this as ‘Reserved’

Alignment mismatch locations

alignData ‘mismatch’, column

NOTE: the default quality encoding changes to FastqQuality with ShortRead version 1.3.24.

This method includes the argument qualityType to specify how quality scores are encoded. Bowtie quality scores are ‘Phred’-like by default, with qualityType='FastqQuality', but can be specified as ‘Solexa’-like, with qualityType='SFastqQuality'.

Bowtie outputs positions that are 0-offset from the left-most end of the + strand. ShortRead parses position information to be 1-offset from the left-most end of the + strand.

Bowtie outputs reads aligned to the - strand as their reverse complement, and reverses the quality score string of these reads. ShortRead parses these to their original sequence and orientation.

type="SOAP"

Parse alignment files created with the SOAP alignment algorithm. Parsed columns can be retrieved from AlignedRead as follows:

id

id

seq

sread; see comment below

qual

quality; see comment below

number of hits

alignData

a/b

alignData (pairedEnd)

length

alignData (alignedLength)

+/-

strand

chr

chromosome

location

position; see comment below

types

alignData (typeOfHit: integer portion; hitDetail: text portion)

This method includes the argument qualityType to specify how quality scores are encoded. It is unclear from SOAP documentation what the quality score is; the default is ‘Solexa’-like, with qualityType='SFastqQuality', but can be specified as ‘Phred’-like, with qualityType='FastqQuality'.

SOAP outputs positions that are 1-offset from the left-most end of the + strand. ShortRead preserves this representation.

SOAP reads aligned to the - strand are reported by SOAP as their reverse complement, with the quality string of these reads reversed. ShortRead parses these to their original sequence and orientation.

Value

A single R object (e.g., AlignedRead) containing alignments, sequences and qualities of all files in dirPath matching pattern. There is no guarantee of order in which files are read.

(Legacy) Read short reads and their quality scores into R representations

Description

readBaseQuality reads all base call files in a directory dirPath whose file name matches seqPattern and all quality score files whose name matches prbPattern, returning a compact internal representation of the sequences, and quality scores in the files. Methods read all files into a single R object.

Usage

readBaseQuality(dirPath, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
readBaseQuality(dirPath, seqPattern=character(0),
prbPattern=character(0), type=c("Solexa"), ...)

Arguments

dirPath

A character vector (or other object; see methods defined on this generic) giving the directory path (relative or absolute) of files to be input.

seqPattern

The (grep-style) pattern describing base call file names to be read. The default (character(0)) results in (attempted) input of all files in the directory.

prbPattern

The (grep-style) pattern describing quality score file names to be read. The default (character(0)) results in (attempted) input of all files in the directory.

type

The type of file to be parsed. Supported types include: Solexa: parse reads and their qualities from _seq.txt and _prb.txt-formatted files, respectively.

...

Additional arguments, perhaps used by methods.

Value

A single R object (e.g., ShortReadQ) containing sequences and qualities of all files in dirPath matching seqPattern and prbPattern respectively. There is no guarantee of order in which files are read.

(Legacy) Get a list of the sequences in a Maq .bfa file

Description

As coverage needs to know the lengths of the reference sequences, this function is provided which extracts this information from a .bfa file (Maq's "binary FASTA" format).

Usage

readBfaToc( bfafile )

Arguments

bfafile

The file name of the .bfa file.

Value

An integer vector with one element per reference sequence found in the .bfa file, each vector element named with the sequence name and having the sequence length as value.

Read and write FASTA files to or from ShortRead objects

Description

readFasta reads all FASTA-formated files in a directory dirPath whose file name matches pattern pattern, returning a compact internal representation of the sequences and quality scores in the files. Methods read all files into a single R object; a typical use is to restrict input to a single FASTA file.

writeFasta writes an object to a single file, using mode="w" (the default) to create a new file or mode="a" append to an existing file. Attempting to write to an existing file with mode="w" results in an error.

Usage

readFasta(dirPath, pattern = character(0), ...,
    nrec=-1L, skip=0L)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
readFasta(dirPath, pattern = character(0), ...,
    nrec=-1L, skip=0L)
writeFasta(object, file, mode="w", ...)
## S4 method for signature 'DNAStringSet'
writeFasta(object, file, mode="w", ...)

Arguments

dirPath

A character vector giving the directory path (relative or absolute) or single file name of FASTA files to be read.

pattern

The (grep-style) pattern describing file names to be read. The default (character(0)) results in (attempted) input of all files in the directory.

object

An object to be output in fasta format.

file

A length 1 character vector providing a path to a file to the object is to be written to.

mode

A length 1 character vector equal to either ‘w’ or ‘a’ to write to a new file or append to an existing file, respectively.

...

Additional arguments used by methods or, for writeFasta, writeXStringSet.

nrec

See ?readDNAStringSet.

skip

See ?readDNAStringSet.

Value

readFasta returns a DNAStringSet. containing sequences and qualities contained in all files in dirPath matching pattern. There is no guarantee of order in which files are read.

writeFasta is invoked primarily for its side effect, creating or appending to file file. The function returns, invisibly, the length of object, and hence the number of records written. There is a writeFasta method for any class derived from ShortRead.

Read, write, and count records in FASTQ-formatted files

Description

readFastq reads all FASTQ-formated files in a directory dirPath whose file name matches pattern pattern, returning a compact internal representation of the sequences and quality scores in the files. Methods read all files into a single R object; a typical use is to restrict input to a single FASTQ file.

writeFastq writes an object to a single file, using mode="w" (the default) to create a new file or mode="a" append to an existing file. Attempting to write to an existing file with mode="w" results in an error.

countFastq counts the nubmer of records, nucleotides, and base-level quality scores in one or several fastq files.

Usage

readFastq(dirPath, pattern=character(0), ...)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
readFastq(dirPath, pattern=character(0), ..., withIds=TRUE)

writeFastq(object, file, mode="w", full=FALSE, compress=TRUE, ...)

countFastq(dirPath, pattern=character(0), ...)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
countFastq(dirPath, pattern=character(0), ...)

Arguments

dirPath

A character vector (or other object; see methods defined on this generic) giving the directory path (relative or absolute) or single file name of FASTQ files to be read.

pattern

The (grep-style) pattern describing file names to be read. The default (character(0)) results in (attempted) input of all files in the directory.

object

An object to be output in fastq format. For methods, use showMethods(object, where=getNamespace("ShortRead")).

file

A length 1 character vector providing a path to a file to the object is to be written to.

mode

A length 1 character vector equal to either ‘w’ or ‘a’ to write to a new file or append to an existing file, respectively.

full

A logical(1) indicating whether the identifier line should be repeated full=TRUE or omitted full=FALSE on the third line of the fastq record.

compress

A logical(1) indicating whether the file should be gz-compressed. The default is TRUE.

...

Additional arguments. In particular, qualityType and filter:

qualityType:

Representation to be used for quality scores, must be one of Auto (choose Illumina base 64 encoding SFastqQuality if all characters are ASCII-encoded as greater than 58 : and some characters are greater than 74 J), FastqQuality (Phred-like base 33 encoding), SFastqQuality (Illumina base 64 encoding).

filter:

An object of class srFilter, used to filter objects of class ShortReadQ at input.

withIds

logical(1) indicating whether identifiers should be read from the fastq file.

Details

The fastq format is not quite precisely defined. The basic definition used here parses the following four lines as a single record:

    @HWI-EAS88_1_1_1_1001_499
    GGACTTTGTAGGATACCCTCGCTTTCCTTCTCCTGT
    +HWI-EAS88_1_1_1_1001_499
    ]]]]]]]]]]]]Y]Y]]]]]]]]]]]]VCHVMPLAS
  

The first and third lines are identifiers preceded by a specific character (the identifiers are identical, in the case of Solexa). The second line is an upper-case sequence of nucleotides. The parser recognizes IUPAC-standard alphabet (hence ambiguous nucleotides), coercing . to - to represent missing values. The final line is an ASCII-encoded representation of quality scores, with one ASCII character per nucleotide.

The encoding implicit in Solexa-derived fastq files is that each character code corresponds to a score equal to the ASCII character value minus 64 (e.g., ASCII @ is decimal 64, and corresponds to a Solexa quality score of 0). This is different from BioPerl, for instance, which recovers quality scores by subtracting 33 from the ASCII character value (so that, for instance, !, with decimal value 33, encodes value 0).

The BioPerl description of fastq asserts that the first character of line 4 is a !, but the current parser does not support this convention.

writeFastq creates files following the specification outlined above, using the IUPAC-standard alphabet (hence, sequences containing ‘.’ when read will be represented by ‘-’ when written).

Value

readFastq returns a single R object (e.g., ShortReadQ) containing sequences and qualities contained in all files in dirPath matching pattern. There is no guarantee of order in which files are read.

writeFastq is invoked primarily for its side effect, creating or appending to file file. The function returns, invisibly, the length of object, and hence the number of records written.

countFastq returns a data.frame with row names equal to the base (file) name of the fastq file, and columns records, nucleotides, and scores, corresponding to tally of each entity in each file. Parsing mistakes from poorly formmated files result in an error.

(Legacy) Read Illumina image intensity files

Description

readIntensities reads image ‘intensity’ files (such as Illumina's _int.txt and (optionally) _nse.txt) into a single object.

Usage

readIntensities(dirPath, pattern=character(0), ...)

Arguments

dirPath

Directory path or other object (e.g., SolexaPath) for which methods are defined.

pattern

A length 1 character vector representing a regular expression to be combined with dirPath, as described below, to match files to be summarized.

...

Additional arguments used by methods.

Details

Additional methods are defined on specific classes, see, e.g., SolexaPath.

The readIntensities,character-method contains an argument type that determines how intensities are parsed. Use the type argument to readIntensities,character-method, as described below. All readIntensities,character methods accepts the folling arguments:

withVariability:

Include estimates of variability (i.e., from parsing _nse files).

verbose:

Report on progress when starting to read each file.

The supported types and their signatures are:

type="RtaIntensity"

Intensities are read from Illumina _cif.txt and _cnf.txt-style files. The signature for this method is

dirPath, pattern=character(0), ..., type="RtaIntensity", lane=integer(0), cycles=integer(0), cycleIteration=1L, tiles=integer(0), laneName=sprintf("L cycleNames=sprintf("C tileNames=sprintf("s_ posNames=sprintf("s_ withVariability=TRUE, verbose=FALSE

lane:

integer(1) identifying the lane in which cycles and tiles are to be processed.

cycles:

integer() enumerating cycles to be processed.

cycleIteration:

integer(1) identifying the iteration of the base caller to be summarized

tiles:

integer() enumerating tile numbers to be summarized.

laneName, cycleNames, tileNames, posNames:

character() vectors identifying the lane and cycle directories, and the ‘pos’ and tile file names (excluding the ‘.cif’ or ‘.cnf’ extension) to be processed.

The dirPath and pattern arguments are combined as list.files(dirPath, pattern), and must identify a single directory. Most uses of this function will focus on a single tile (specified with, e.g., tiles=1L); the laneName, cycleNames, tileNames, and posNames parameters are designed to work with the default Illumina pipeline and do not normally need to be specified.

type="IparIntensity"

Intensities are read from Solexa _pos.txt, _int.txt.p, _nse.txt.p-style file triplets. The signature for this method is

dirPath, pattern=character(0), ..., type="IparIntensity", intExtension="_int.txt.p.gz", nseExtension="_nse.txt.p.gz", posExtension="_pos.txt", withVariability=TRUE, verbose=FALSE

Files to be parsed are determined as, e.g., paste(pattern, intExtension, sep="").

type="SolexaIntensity"

Intensities are read from Solexa _int.txt and _nse.txt-style files. The signature for this method is

dirPath, pattern=character(0), ..., type="SolexaIntensity", intExtension="_int.txt", nseExtension="_nse.txt", withVariability=TRUE, verbose=FALSE

Files to be parsed are determined as, e.g., paste(pattern, intExtension, sep="").

Value

An object derived from class Intensity.

(Legacy) Read Solexa prb files as fastq-style quality scores

Description

readPrb reads all _prb.txt files in a directory into a single object. Most methods (see details) do this by identifying the maximum base call quality for each cycle and read, and representing this as an ASCII-encoded character string.

Usage

readPrb(dirPath, pattern = character(0), ...)

Arguments

dirPath

Directory path or other object (e.g., SolexaPath for which methods are defined.

pattern

Regular expression matching names of _prb files to be summarized.

...

Additional arguments, unused.

Details

The readPrb,character-method contains an argument as that determines the value of the returned object, as follows.

as="SolexaEncoding"

The ASCII encoding of the maximum per cycle and read quality score is encoded using Solexa conventions.

as="FastqEncoding"

The ASCII encoding of the maximum per cycle and read quality score is encoded using Fastq conventions, i.e., ! has value 0.

The maximum per cycle and read quality score is returned as a in integer value. Values are collated into a matrix with number of rows equal to number of reads, and number of columns equal to number of cycles.

as="array"

The quality scores are not summarized; the return value is an integer array with dimensions corresponding to reads, nucleotides, and cycles.

Value

An object of class QualityScore, or an integer matrix.

(Legacy) Read Solexa qseq files as fastq-style quality scores

Description

readQseq reads all files matching pattern in a directory into a single ShortReadQ-class object. Information on machine, lane, tile, x, and y coordinates, filtering status, and read number are not returned (although filtering status can be used to selectively include reads as described below).

Read one or more columns into XStringSet (e.g., DNAStringSet) objects

Description

This function allows short read data components such as DNA sequence, quality scores, and read names to be read in to XStringSet (e.g., DNAStringSet, BStringSet) objects. One or several files of identical layout can be specified.

Usage

readXStringColumns(dirPath, pattern=character(0),
                   colClasses=list(NULL),
                   nrows=-1L, skip=0L,
                   sep = "\t", header = FALSE, comment.char="#")

Arguments

dirPath

A character vector giving the directory path (relative or absolute) of files to be read.

pattern

The (grep-style) pattern describing file names to be read. The default (character(0)) reads all files in dirPath. All files are expected to have identical numbers of columns.

colClasses

A list of length equal to the number of columns in a file. Columns with corresponding colClasses equal to NULL are ignored. Other entries in colClasses are expected to be character strings describing the base class for the XStringSet. For instance a column of DNA sequences would be specified as "DNAString". The column would be parsed into a DNAStringSet object.

nrows

A length 1 integer vector describing the maximum number of XString objects to read into the set. Reads may come from more than one file when dirPath and pattern parse several files and nrow is greater than the number of reads in the first file.

skip

A length 1 integer vector describing how many lines to skip at the start of each file.

sep

A length 1 character vector describing the column separator.

header

A length 1 logical vector indicating whether files include a header line identifying columns. If present, the header of the first file is used to name the returned values.

comment.char

A length 1 character vector, with a single character that, when appearing at the start of a line, indicates that the entire line should be ignored. Currently there is no way to use comment characters in other than the first position of a line.

Value

A list, with each element containing an XStringSet object of the type corresponding to the non-NULL elements of colClasses.

Martin Morgan <[email protected]>

Examples

## valid character strings for colClasses
names(slot(getClass("XString"), "subclasses"))

dirPath <- system.file('extdata', 'maq', package='ShortRead')

colClasses <- rep(list(NULL), 16)
colClasses[c(1, 15, 16)] <- c("BString", "DNAString", "BString")

## read one file

Renew (update) a ShortRead object with new values

Description

Use renew to update an object defined in ShortRead with new values. Discover update-able classes and values with renewable.

Usage

renewable(x, ...)
renew(x, ...)

Arguments

x

For renewable: missing, character(1), or a class defined in the ShortRead package. For renew: an instance of a class defined in the ShortRead package.

...

For renewable, ignored. For renew, named arguments identifying which parts of x are to be renewed.

Details

When invoked with no arguments renewable returns a character vector naming classes that can be renewed.

When invoked with a character(1) or an instance of a ShortRead class, a list of the names and values of the elements that can be renewed. When x is a character vector naming a virtual class, then each element of the returned list is a non-virtual descendant of that class that can be used in renewal. This is not fully recursive.

renew is always invoked with the x argument being an instance of a class identified by renewable(). Remaining arguments are name-value pairs identifying the components of x that are to be renewed (updated). The name-value pairs must be consistent with renewable(x). The resulting object is checked for validity. Multiple components of the object can be updated in a single call to renew, allowing comparatively efficient complex transformations.

Value

renewable() returns a character vector of renewable classes.

renewable(x) returns a named list. The names correspond to renewable classes, and the elements of the list correspond to renewable components of the class.

renew(x, ...) returns an object of the same class as x, but with components of x replaced by the named values of ....

(Legacy) "RochePath" class representing a Roche (454) experiment location

Description

This class represents the directory location where Roche (454) result files (fasta sequences and qualities) can be found.

Objects from the Class

Objects from the class are created with the RochePath constructor:

RochePath(experimentPath = NA_character_, readPath = experimentPath, qualPath = readPath, ..., verbose = FALSE)

experimentPath

character(1) or RochePath pointing to the top-level directory of a Roche experiment.

readPath

character() of directories (typically in experimentPath) containing sequence (read) information. The default selects all directories matching list.files(experimentPath, "run").

qualPath

character() of directories (typically in experimentPath) containing quality information. The default selects all directories matching list.files(experimentPath, "run").

verbose

logical(1) indicating whether invalid paths should be reported interactively.

Slots

RocheSet has the following slots:

readPath:

Object of class "character", as described in the constructor, above.

qualPath:

Object of class "character", as described in the constructor, above.

basePath:

Object of class "character", containing the experimentPath.

Extends

Class "ExperimentPath", directly. Class ".Roche", directly. Class ".ShortReadBase", by class "ExperimentPath", distance 2. Class ".ShortReadBase", by class ".Roche", distance 2.

Methods

RochePath has the following methods or functions defined:

readFasta

(optional) Gerald analysis pipeline path.

...

Additional arguments, unused by currently implemented methods.

verbose=FALSE

(optional) logical vector which, when TRUE results in warnings if paths do not exist.

All paths must be fully-specified.

Slots

SolexaPath has the following slots, containing either a fully specified path to the corresponding directory (described above) or NA if no appropriate directory was discovered.

basePath

See experimentPath, above.

dataPath

See above.

scanPath

See above.

imageAnalysisPath

See above.

baseCallPath

See above.

analysisPath

See above.

Extends

Class ".Solexa", directly. Class ".ShortReadBase", by class ".Solexa", distance 2.

Methods

Transforming methods include:

readIntensities

signature(dirPath = "SolexaPath", pattern=character(0), run, ...):

Use imageAnalysisPath(sp)[run] as the directory path(s) and pattern=character(0) as the pattern for discovering Solexa intensity files. See readIntensities,character-method for additional parameters.

readPrb

signature(dirPath = "SolexaPath", pattern=character(0), run, ...):

Use baseCallPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path(s) and pattern=character(0) as the pattern for discovering Solexa ‘prb’ files, returning a SFastqQuality object containing the maximum qualities found for each base of each cycle.

The ... argument may include the named argument as. This influences the return value, as explained on the readPrb,character-method page.

readFasta

signature(dirPath, pattern = character(0), ..., nrec=-1L, skip=0L):

Use analysisPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path(s) for discovering fasta-formatted files, returning a ShortRead object. The default method reads all files into a single object.

readFastq

signature(dirPath = "SolexaPath", pattern = ".*_sequence.txt", run, ..., qualityType="SFastqQuality"):

Use analysisPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path(s) and pattern=".*_sequence.txt" as the pattern for discovering fastq-formatted files, returning a ShortReadQ object. The default method reads all sequence files into a single object.

readBaseQuality

signature(dirPath = "SolexaPath", seqPattern = ".*_seq.txt", prbPattern = "s_[1-8]_prb.txt", run, ...):

Use baseCallPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path(s) and seqPattern=".*_seq.txt" as the pattern for discovering base calls and prbPattern=".*_prb.txt" as the pattern for discovering quality scores. Note that the default method reads all base call and quality score files into a single object; often one will want to specify a pattern for each lane.

readQseq

signature(directory="SolexaPath", pattern=".*_qseq.txt.*", run, ...., filtered=FALSE):

Use analysisPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path and pattern=".*_qseq.txt.*" as the pattern for discovering read and quality scores in Solexa 'qseq' files. Data from all files are read into a single object; often one will want to specify a pattern for each lane. Details are as for readQseq,character-method.

readAligned

signature(dirPath = "SolexaPath", pattern = ".*_export.txt.*", run, ..., filter=srFilter()):

Use analysisPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path and pattern=".*_export.txt" as the pattern for discovering Eland-aligned reads in the Solexa 'export' file format. Note that the default method reads all aligned read files into a single object; often one will want to specify a pattern for each lane. Use an object of SRFilter to select specific chromosomes, strands, etc.

qa

signature(dirPath="SolexaPath", pattern="character(0)", run, ...):

Use analysisPath(dirPath)[run] as the directory path(s) and pattern=".*_export.txt" as the pattern for discovering Solexa export-formatted fileds, returning a SolexaExportQA object summarizing quality assessment. If Rmpi or parallel has been initiated, quality assessment calculations are distributed across available nodes or cores (one node per export file.)

report

signature(x, ..., dest=tempfile(), type="pdf"): Use qa(x, ...) to generate quality assessment measures, and use these to generate a quality assessment report at location dest of type type (e.g., ‘pdf’).

SolexaSet

signature(path = "SolexaPath"): create a SolexaSet object based on path.

Additional methods include:

show

signature(object = "SolexaPath"): briefly summarize the file paths of object. The experimentPath is given in full; the remaining paths are identified by their leading characters.

detail

signature(x = "SolexaPath"): summarize file paths of x. All file paths are presented in full.

Edit distances between reads and a small number of short references

Description

srdistance calculates the edit distance from each read in pattern to each read in subject. The underlying algorithm pairwiseAlignment is only efficient when both reads are short, and when the number of subject reads is small.

Usage

srdistance(pattern, subject, ...)

Arguments

pattern

An object of class DNAStringSet containing reads whose edit distance is desired.

subject

A short character vector, DNAString or (small) DNAStringSet to serve as reference.

...

additional arguments, unused.

Details

The underlying algorithm performs pairwise alignment from each read in pattern to each sequence in subject. The return value is a list of numeric vectors of distances, one list element for each sequence in subject. The vector in each list element contains for each read in pattern the edit distance from the read to the corresponding subject. The weight matrix and gap penalties used to calculate the distance are structured to weight base substitutions and single base insert/deletions equally. Edit distance between known and ambiguous (e.g., N) nucleotides, or between ambiguous nucleotides, are weighted as though each possible nucleotide in the ambiguity were equally likely.

Value

A list of length equal to that of subject. Each element is a numeric vector equal to the length of pattern, with values corresponding to the minimum distance between between the corresponding pattern and subject sequences.

Order, sort, and find duplicates in XStringSet objects

Description

These generics order, rank, sort, and find duplicates in short read objects, including fastq-encoded qualities. srorder, srrank and srsort differ from the default functions rank, order and sort in that sorting is based on an internally-defined order rather than, e.g., the order implied by LC_COLLATE.

Usage

srorder(x, ...)
srrank(x, ...)
srsort(x, ...)
srduplicated(x, ...)

Arguments

x

The object to be sorted, ranked, ordered, or to have duplicates identified; see the examples below for objects for which methods are defined.

...

Additional arguments available for use by methods; usually ignored.

Details

Unlike sort and friends, the implementation does not preserve order of duplicated elements. Like duplicated, one element in each set of duplicates is marked as FALSE.

srrank settles ties using the “min” criterion described in rank, i.e., identical elements are ranked equal to the rank of the first occurrence of the sorted element.

The following methods are defined, in addition to methods described in class-specific documentation:

srsort

signature(x = "XStringSet"):

srorder

signature(x = "XStringSet"):

srduplicated

signature(x = "XStringSet"):

Apply srorder, srrank, srsort, srduplicated to XStringSet objects such as those returned by sread.

srsort

signature(x = "ShortRead"):

srorder

signature(x = "ShortRead"):

srduplicated

signature(x = "ShortRead"):

Apply srorder, srrank, srsort, srduplicated to XStringSet objects to the sread component of ShortRead and derived objects.

Value

The functions return the following values:

srorder

An integer vector the same length as x, containing the indices that will bring x into sorted order.

srrank

An integer vector the same length as x, containing the rank of each seqeunce when sorted.

srsort

An instance of x in sorted order.

srduplicated

A logical vector the same length as x indicating whether the indexed element is already present. Note that, like duplicated, subsetting x using the result returned by !srduplicated(x) includes one representative from each set of duplicates.

Functions for user-created and built-in ShortRead filters

Description

These functions create user-defined (srFitler) or built-in instances of SRFilter objects. Filters can be applied to objects from ShortRead, returning a logical vector to be used to subset the objects to include only those components satisfying the filter.

Usage

srFilter(fun, name = NA_character_, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'missing'
srFilter(fun, name=NA_character_, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'function'
srFilter(fun, name=NA_character_, ...)

         .name="idFilter")
occurrenceFilter(min=1L, max=1L,
                 withSread=c(NA, TRUE, FALSE),
                 duplicates=c("head", "tail", "sample", "none"),
                 .name=.occurrenceName(min, max, withSread,
                                       duplicates))

polynFilter(threshold=0L, nuc=c("A", "C", "T", "G", "other"),
           .name="PolyNFilter")
dustyFilter(threshold=Inf, batchSize=NA, .name="DustyFilter")
srdistanceFilter(subject=character(0), threshold=0L,
                 .name="SRDistanceFilter")

chromosomeFilter(regex=character(0), fixed=FALSE, exclude=FALSE,
                 .name="ChromosomeFilter")
positionFilter(min=-Inf, max=Inf, .name="PositionFilter")
strandFilter(strandLevels=character(0), .name="StrandFilter")
alignQualityFilter(threshold=0L, .name="AlignQualityFilter")
alignDataFilter(expr=expression(), .name="AlignDataFilter")

Arguments

fun

An object of class function to be used as a filter. fun must accept a single named argument x, and is expected to return a logical vector such that x[fun(x)] selects only those elements of x satisfying the conditions of fun

name

A character(1) object to be used as the name of the filter. The name is useful for debugging and reference.

filt

A SRFilter object, to be used with additional arguments to create a composite filter.

.name

An optional character(1) object used to over-ride the name applied to default filters.

regex

Either character(0) or a character(1) regular expression used as grep(regex, chromosome(x)) to filter based on chromosome. The default (character(0)) performs no filtering

fixed

logical(1) passed to grep, influencing how pattern matching occurs.

exclude

logical(1) which, when TRUE, uses regex to exclude, rather than include, reads.

min

numeric(1)

max

numeric(1). For positionFilter, min and max define the closed interval in which position must be found min <= position <= max. For occurrenceFilter, min and max define the minimum and maximum number of times a read occurs after the filter.

strandLevels

Either character(0) or character(1) containing strand levels to be selected. ShortRead objects have standard strand levels NA, "+", "-", "*", with NA meaning strand information not available and "*" meaning strand information not relevant.

withSread

A logical(1) indicating whether uniqueness includes the read sequence (withSread=TRUE), is based only on chromosome, position, and strand (withSread=FALSE), or only the read sequence (withSread=NA), as described for occurrenceFilter below..

duplicates

Either character{1}, a function name, or a function taking a single argument. Influence how duplicates are handled, as described for occurrenceFilter below.

threshold

A numeric(1) value representing a minimum (srdistanceFilter, alignQualityFilter) or maximum (nFilter, polynFilter, dustyFilter) criterion for the filter. The minima and maxima are closed-interval (i.e., x >= threshold, x <= threshold for some property x of the object being filtered).

nuc

A character vector containing IUPAC symbols for nucleotides or the value "other" corresponding to all non-nucleotide symbols, e.g., N.

batchSize

NA or an integer(1) vector indicating the number of DNA sequences to be processed simultaneously by dustyFilter. By default, all reads are processed simultaneously. Smaller values use less memory but are computationally less efficient.

subject

A character() of any length, to be used as the corresponding argument to srdistance.

expr

A expression to be evaluated with pData(alignData(x)).

...

Additional arguments for subsequent methods; these arguments are not currently used.

Details

srFilter allows users to construct their own filters. The fun argument to srFilter must be a function accepting a single argument x and returning a logical vector that can be used to select elements of x satisfying the filter with x[fun(x)]

The signature(fun="missing") method creates a default filter that returns a vector of TRUE values with length equal to length(x).

compose constructs a new filter from one or more existing filter. The result is a filter that returns a logical vector with indices corresponding to components of x that pass all filters. If not provided, the name of the filter consists of the names of all component filters, each separated by " o ".

The remaining functions documented on this page are built-in filters that accept an argument x and return a logical vector of length(x) indicating which components of x satisfy the filter.

idFilter selects elements satisfying grep(regex, id(x), fixed=fixed).

chromosomeFilter selects elements satisfying grep(regex, chromosome(x), fixed=fixed).

positionFilter selects elements satisfying min <= position(x) <= max.

strandFilter selects elements satisfying match(strand(x), strand, nomatch=0) > 0.

occurrenceFilter selects elements that occur >=min and <=max times. withSread determines how reads will be treated: TRUE to include the sread, chromosome, strand, and position when determining occurrence, FALSE to include chromosome, strand, and position, and NA to include only sread. The default is withSread=NA. duplicates determines how reads with more than max reads are treated. head selects the first max reads of each set of duplicates, tail the last max reads, and sample a random sample of max reads. none removes all reads represented more than max times. The user can also provide a function (as used by tapply) of a single argument to select amongst reads.

nFilter selects elements with fewer than threshold 'N' symbols in each element of sread(x).

polynFilter selects elements with fewer than threshold copies of any nucleotide indicated by nuc.

dustyFilter selects elements with high sequence complexity, as characterized by their dustyScore. This emulates the dust command from WindowMaker software. Calculations can be memory intensive; use batchSize to process the argument to dustyFilter in batches of the specified size.

srdistanceFilter selects elements at an edit distance greater than threshold from all sequences in subject.

alignQualityFilter selects elements with alignQuality(x) greater than threshold.

alignDataFilter selects elements with pData(alignData(x)) satisfying expr. expr should be formulated as though it were to be evaluated as eval(expr, pData(alignData(x))).

Value

srFilter returns an object of SRFilter.

Built-in filters return a logical vector of length(x), with TRUE indicating components that pass the filter.

(Legacy) A base class for Roche experiment-wide data

Description

This class coordinates phenotype (sample) and sequence data, primarily as used on the Roche platform.

Conceptually, this class has reads from a single experiment represented as a long vector, ordered by sample. The readCount slot indicates the number of reads in each sample, so that the sum of readCount is the total number of reads in the experiment. The readIndex field is a light-weight indicator of which reads from all those available that are currently referenced by the SRSet.

Objects from the Class

Objects of this class are not usually created directly, but instead are created by a derived class, e.g., RocheSet.

Slots

sourcePath:

Object of class "ExperimentPath", containing the directory path where sequence files can be found.

readIndex:

Object of class "integer" indicating specific sequences included in the experiment.

readCount:

Object of class "integer" containing the number of reads in each sample included in the experiment. The sum of this vector is the total number of reads.

phenoData:

Object of class "AnnotatedDataFrame" describing each sample in the experiment. The number of rows of phenoData equals the number of elements in readCount.

readData:

Object of class "AnnotatedDataFrame" containing annotations on all reads.

Extends

Class ".ShortReadBase", directly.

".SRUtil" and related classes

Description

These classes provide important utility functions in the ShortRead package, but may occasionally be seen by the user and are documented here for that reason.

Objects from the Class

Utility classes include:

  • .SRUtil-class a virtual base class from which all utility classes are derived.

  • SRError-class created when errors occur in ShortRead package code.

  • SRWarn-class created when warnings occur in ShortRead package code

  • SRList-class representing a list (heterogeneous collection) of objects. The S4Vectors::SimpleList class is a better choice for a list-like container.

  • SRVector-class representing a vector (homogeneous collection, i.e., all elements of the same class) of objects.

Objects from these classes are not normally constructed by the user. However, constructors are available, as follows.

SRError(type, fmt, ...), SRWarn(type, fmt, ...):

type

character(1) vector describing the type of the error. type must come from a pre-defined list of types.

fmt

a sprintf-style format string for the message to be reported with the error.

...

additional arguments to be interpolated into fmt.

SRList(...)

...

elements of any type or length to be placed into the SRList. If the length of ... is 1 and the argument is a list, then the list itself is placed into SRList.

SRVector(..., vclass)

...

elements all satisfying an is relationship with vclass, to be placed in SRVector.

vclass

the class to which all elements in ... belong. If vclass is missing and length(list(...)) is greater than zero, then vclass is taken to be the class of the first argument of ....

SRVector errors:

SRVectorClassDisagreement

this error occurs when not all arguments ... satisfy an ‘is’ relationship with vclass.

Slots

SRError and SRWarn have the following slots defined:

.type:

Object of class "character" containing the type of error or warning. .type must come from a pre-defined list of types, see, e.g., ShortRead:::.SRError_types.

.message:

Object of class "character" containing a detailed message describing the error or warning.

SRList has the following slot defined:

.srlist:

Object of class "list" containing the elements in the list.

SRVector extends SRList, with the following additional slot:

vclass:

Object of class "character" naming the type of object all elements of SRVector must be.

Methods

Accessors are available for all slots, and have the same name as the slot, e.g., vclass to access the vclass slot of SRVector. Internal slots (those starting with ‘.’ also have accessors, but these are not exported e.g., ShortRead:::.type.

SRList has the following methods:

length

signature(x = "SRList"): return the (integer(1)) length of the SRList.

names

signature(x = "SRList"): return a character vector of list element names. The length of the returned vector is the same as the length of x.

names<-

signature(x = "SRList", value = "character"): assign value as names for members of x.

[

signature(x = "SRList", i = "ANY", j = "missing"): subset the list using standard R list subset paradigms.

[[

signature(x = "SRList", i = "ANY", j = "missing"): select element ‘i’ from the list, using standard R list selection paradigms.

lapply

signature(X = "SRList", FUN="ANY"): apply a function to all elements of X, with additional arguments interpreted as with lapply.

sapply

signature(X = "SRList"): apply a function to all elements of X, simplifying the result if possible. Additional arguments interpreted as with sapply.

srlist

signature(object="SRList"): coerce the SRList object to a list.

show

signature(object = "SRList"): display an informative summary of the object content, including the length of the list represented by object.

detail

signature(x = "SRList"): display a more extensive version of the object, as one might expect from printing a standard list in R.

SRVector inherits all methods from SRList, and has the following additional methods:

show

signature(object = "SRVector"): display an informative summary of the object content, e.g., the vector class (vclass) and length.

detail

signature(x = "SRVector"): display a more extensive version of the object, as one might expect from a printing a standard R list.

Summarize XStringSet read frequencies

Description

This generic summarizes the number of times each sequence occurs in an XStringSet instance.

Usage

tables(x, n=50, ...)

Arguments

x

An object for which a tables method is defined.

n

An integer(1) value determining how many named sequences will be present in the top portion of the return value.

...

Additional arguments available to methods

Details

Methods of this generic summarize the frequency with which each read occurs, There are two components to the summary. The reads are reported from most common to least common; typically a method parameter controls how many reads to report. Methods also return a pair of vectors describing how many reads were represented 1, 2, ... times.

The following methods are defined, in addition to methods described in class-specific documentation:

tables

signature(x= "XStringSet", n = 50): Apply tables to the XStringSet x.

Value

A list of length two.

top

A named integer vector. Names correspond to sequences. Values are the number of times the corresponding sequence occurs in the XStringSet. The vector is sorted in decreasing order; methods typically include a parameter specifying the number of sequences to return.

distribution

a data.frame with two columns. nOccurrences is the number of times any particular sequence is represented in the set (1, 2, ...). nReads is the number of reads with the corresponding occurrence.

sp <- SolexaPath(system.file("extdata", package="ShortRead"))
aln <- readAligned(sp)
tables(sread(aln), n=6)
lattice::xyplot(log10(nReads)~log10(nOccurrences),
       tables(sread(aln))$distribution)

Trim ends of reads based on nucleotides or qualities

Description

These generic functions remove leading or trailing nucleotides or qualities. trimTails and trimTailw remove low-quality reads from the right end using a sliding window (trimTailw) or a tally of (successive) nucleotides falling at or below a quality threshold (trimTails). trimEnds takes an alphabet of characters to remove from either left or right end.

Usage

## S4 methods for 'ShortReadQ', 'FastqQuality', or 'SFastqQuality'
trimTailw(object, k, a, halfwidth, ..., ranges=FALSE)
trimTails(object, k, a, successive=FALSE, ..., ranges=FALSE)
trimEnds(object, a, left=TRUE, right=TRUE, relation=c("<=", "=="),
    ..., ranges=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'BStringSet'
trimTailw(object, k, a, halfwidth, ..., alphabet, ranges=FALSE)
## S4 method for signature 'BStringSet'
trimTails(object, k, a, successive=FALSE, ...,
    alphabet, ranges=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
trimTailw(object, k, a, halfwidth, ..., destinations, ranges=FALSE)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
trimTails(object, k, a, successive=FALSE, ..., destinations, ranges=FALSE)
## S4 method for signature 'character'
trimEnds(object, a, left=TRUE, right=TRUE, relation=c("<=", "=="),
    ..., destinations, ranges=FALSE)

Arguments

object

An object (e.g., ShortReadQ and derived classes; see below to discover these methods) or character vector of fastq file(s) to be trimmed.

k

integer(1) describing the number of failing letters required to trigger trimming.

a

For trimTails and trimTailw, a character(1) with nchar(a) == 1L giving the letter at or below which a nucleotide is marked as failing.

For trimEnds a character() with all nchar() == 1L giving the letter at or below which a nucleotide or quality scores marked for removal.

halfwidth

The half width (cycles before or after the current; e.g., a half-width of 5 would span 5 + 1 + 5 cycles) in which qualities are assessed.

successive

logical(1) indicating whether failures can occur anywhere in the sequence, or must be successive. If successive=FALSE, then the k'th failed letter and subsequent are removed. If successive=TRUE, the first succession of k failed and subsequent letters are removed.

left, right

logical(1) indicating whether trimming is from the left or right ends.

relation

character(1) selected from the argument values, i.e., “<=” or “==” indicating whether all letters at or below the alphabet(object) are to be removed, or only exact matches.

...

Additional arguments, perhaps used by methods.

destinations

For object of type character(), an equal-length vector of destination files. Files must not already exist.

alphabet

character() (ordered low to high) letters on which quality scale is measured. Usually supplied internally (user does not need to specify). If missing, then set to ASCII characters 0-127.

ranges

logical(1) indicating whether the trimmed object, or only the ranges satisfying the trimming condition, be returned.

Details

trimTailw starts at the left-most nucleotide, tabulating the number of cycles in a window of 2 * halfwidth + 1 surrounding the current nucleotide with quality scores that fall at or below a. The read is trimmed at the first nucleotide for which this number >= k. The quality of the first or last nucleotide is used to represent portions of the window that extend beyond the sequence.

trimTails starts at the left-most nucleotide and accumulates cycles for which the quality score is at or below a. The read is trimmed at the first location where this number >= k. With successive=TRUE, failing qualities must occur in strict succession.

trimEnds examines the left, right, or both ends of object, marking for removal letters that correspond to a and relation. The trimEnds,ShortReadQ-method trims based on quality.

ShortReadQ methods operate on quality scores; use sread() and the ranges argument to trim based on nucleotide (see examples).

character methods transform one or several fastq files to new fastq files, applying trim operations based on quality scores; use filterFastq with your own filter argument to filter on nucleotides.

Value

An instance of class(object) trimmed to contain only those nucleotides satisfying the trim criterion or, if ranges=TRUE an IRanges instance defining the ranges that would trim object.

Note

The trim* functions use OpenMP threads (when available) during creation of the return value. This may sometimes create problems when a process is already running on multiple threads, e.g., with an error message like

    libgomp: Thread creation failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
  

A solution is to precede problematic code with the following code snippet, to disable threading

    nthreads <- .Call(ShortRead:::.set_omp_threads, 1L)
    on.exit(.Call(ShortRead:::.set_omp_threads, nthreads))

Examples

showMethods(trimTails)

sp <- SolexaPath(system.file('extdata', package='ShortRead'))
rfq <- readFastq(analysisPath(sp), pattern="s_1_sequence.txt")

## remove leading / trailing quality scores <= 'I'
trimEnds(rfq, "I")
## remove leading / trailing 'N's
rng <- trimEnds(sread(rfq), "N", relation="==", ranges=TRUE)
narrow(rfq, start(rng), end(rng))
## remove leading / trailing 'G's or 'C's
trimEnds(rfq, c("G", "C"), relation="==")
