Class "AffyProbesMatch"

Description

Store the results of a call to matchAffyProbes.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("AffyProbesMatch", ...).

An object will store the result of matching probe sequences against target sequences.

Slots

pm:

Object of class "list": each element is vector of index values

mm:

Object of class "list": each element is vector of index values

labels:

Object of class "character"

chip_type:

Object of class "character" and of length 1.

probes:

Object of class "ANY": the probetable object used to perform the matches.

Methods

combine

signature(x = "AffyProbesMatch", y = "AffyProbesMatch"): combine two instances. This is can be useful when splitting the list of target sequences to parallelized the job.

show

signature(x = "AffyProbesMatch"):Show the instance.

toHypergraph

signature(object = "AffyProbesMatch"): build an Hypergraph from the matches.

Examples

showClass("AffyProbesMatch")

append probe sets to a CdfEnvAffy

Description

append probe sets to a CdfEnvAffy

Usage

appendCdfEnvAffy(acdfenv, id, i, nocopy = TRUE)

Arguments

acdfenv

instance of class CdfEnvAffy

id

identifier for the probe set to add

i

a matrix of indexes (see details)

nocopy

whether to make a copy of the environment or not (see details)

Details

The matrix i must have one column per probe type. For typical Affymetrix chip types, there are two probe types: "pm" and "mm".

nocopy set to TRUE means that the environment is added the probe set 'in-situ' (this can boost execution speed if you add a lot of probe sets).

Value

An CdfEnvAffy is returned

Examples

data(cdfenvEx)

## pm and mm probe set
m <- matrix(1:10, ncol = 2)
colnames(m) <- c("pm", "mm")

appendCdfEnvAffy(cdfenvEx, "blabla", m)

indexProbes(cdfenvEx, c("pm", "mm"), "blabla")

## pm only probe set
m <- matrix(6:9, ncol = 1)
colnames(m) <- c("pm")
appendCdfEnvAffy(cdfenvEx, "blabla2", m)
## note that the unspecified "mm" were set to NA
indexProbes(cdfenvEx, c("pm", "mm"), "blabla2")

Build CDF environments

Description

Build CDF environment from Biostrings matchPDict results

Usage

buildCdfEnv.biostrings(apm, abatch = NULL,
                       nrow.chip = NULL, ncol.chip = NULL,
                       simplify = TRUE,
                       x.colname = "x", y.colname = "y",
                       verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

apm

AffyProbesMatch

abatch

AffyBatch

nrow.chip

number of rows for the chip type (see details)

ncol.chip

number of columns for the chip type (see details)

simplify

simplify the environment built (removing target names when there is no matching probe)

x.colname

column name

y.colname

column name

verbose

verbose TRUE/FALSE

Details

Whenever an abatch is specified, nrow.chip and ncol.chip are not needed. Specifying the an AffyBatch in abatch is the easiest way to specify information about the geometry of a chip type.

Value

An instance of class CdfEnvAffy.


Class "CdfEnvAffy"

Description

A class to hold the information necessary to handle the grouping of probes in set of probes, and to find XY coordinates of probes on a chip

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("CdfEnvAffy", ...). Typically, there is an instance of the class for each type of chip (e.g. Hu6800, HG-U95A, etc...).

Slots

envir:

Object of class "environment". It has to be thought of as a hashtable: the keys are probe set identifiers, or gene names, and the values are indexes.

envName:

Object of class "character". A name for the environment.

index2xy:

Object of class "function". The function used to resolve index into xy coordinates. Unless you are an advanced user, you probably want to ignore this (and rely on the default provided with the package).

xy2index:

Object of class "function". The function used to resolve xy coordinates into index. Unless you are an advanced user, you probably want to ignore this (and rely on the default provided with the package).

nrow:

Object of class "integer". The number of rows of probes for the chip type.

ncol:

Object of class "integer". The number of columns of probes for the chip type.

probeTypes:

Object of class "character". The different types of probes stored for each probe set. In the case of Affymetrix chips, the probes are typically perfect match (pm) probes or mismatch probes (mm).

chipType:

Object of class "character". The name of the chip type the instance is associated with. This is useful when one starts to create alternative mappings of the probes on a chip (see associated vignette).

Methods

[

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy", i = "character", j = "missing", drop = "boolean"): subset a cdf, that is return a new cdf containing only a subset of the probe sets. The subset of probe sets to take is identified as a vector of identifiers (mode "character").

coerce

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy", "environment"): coerce an instance of the class to an environment.

coerce

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy", "Cdf"): coerce an instance of the class to a Cdf.

geneNames

signature(object="CdfEnvAffy"): Return the names of the known probe sets (of course, it depends on the associated CDF).

index2xy

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy", i="integer"): convert index values into XY coordinates.

indexProbes

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy", which = "character", probeSetNames = NULL): obtain the indexes for the probes associated wit the probe set name probeSetNames. When probeSetNames is set to NULL (default), the indexes are returned for the probe sets defined on the chip. See indexProbes.CdfEnvAffy

plot

signature(x = "CdfEnvAffy", y = "missing"): Plot the chip. It mainly sets coordinates for further plotting (see examples). See plot.CdfEnvAffy

show

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy"): Print method.

xy2index

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy", x="integer", y="integer"): convert XY coordinates into index values.

toHypergraph

signature(object = "CdfEnvAffy"): convert XY coordinates into index values.

A function to get the XY coordinates from a probes sequences data frame

Description

A function to get the XY coordinates from a probes sequences data.frame

Usage

getxy.probeseq(ppset.id = NULL, probeseq = NULL, i.row = NULL,
xy.offset = NULL, x.colname = "x", y.colname = "y")

Arguments

ppset.id

The probe sets of interest (a vector of mode character.

probeseq

The probe sequence data.frame (see details).

i.row

Row indexes in the data.frame (see details).

xy.offset

Offset for the xy coordinates. if NULL, uses the default offset stored as an option for the affy package.

x.colname, y.colname

The probe sequence packages have seen the names for the columns in their data.frame. This parameters exists to let us follow these changes.

Details

The data.frame passed as argument probeseq is expected to have (at least) the following columns: Probe.X, Probe.Y and Probe.Set.Name. When the argument ppset.id is not null, the probe sets

Value

A matrix of two columns. The first column contains x coordinates, while the second column contains y coordinates.

Warning

The parameter xy.offset.one is here for historical reasons. This should not be touched, the option in the affy package should be modified if one wishes to modify this.

This function should not be confused with the methods index2xy and similar. Here the the XY coordinate come from a data.frame that stores information about an arbitrary number probes on the chip. (See the ‘probe sequence’ data packages on Bioconductor, and the package Biostrings).

The methods index2xy are meant to interact with instances of class AffyBatch.

Match the probes on an Affymetrix array

Description

Match the individual probes on an Affymetrix array to arbitrary targets.

Usage

mmProbes(probes)

matchAffyProbes(probes, targets, chip_type,
                matchmm = TRUE,
                selectMatches = function(x) which(elementNROWS(x) > 0),
                ...)

Arguments

probes

a probetable object

targets

a vector of references

chip_type

a name for the chip type.

matchmm

whether to match MM probes or not

selectMatches

a function to select matches (see Details).

...

further arguments to be passed to matchPDict.

Details

The matching is performed by the function matchPDict. The man page for that function will indicate what are the options it accepts.

In the case where a large number targets are given, like when each target represents a possible mRNA, is it expected to have a largely sparse incidence matrix, that is a low number of probes matching every target. For that reason, only the index of matching probes are associated with each given target, with the function selectMatches giving the definition of what are matching probes. The default function just count anything matching, but the user can specify a more stringent definition if wanted.

Value

mmProbes returns a vector of MM probe sequences.

matchAffyProbes returns an instance of AffyProbesMatch-class.

A function to remove probes in an environment

Description

A function to remove probes in an environment, given their index.

Usage

removeIndex(x, i, simplify = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x

An instance of CdfEnvAffy-class
