The biobtreeR package provides an interface to biobtree tool which allows mapping the bioinformatics datasets via identifiers and special keywors with simple or advance chain query capability.
library(biobtreeR)
# Create an folder and set as an output directory
# It is used for database and configuration files
# temporary directory is used for demonstration purpose
bbUseOutDir(tempdir())
## [1] 0
For mapping queries, biobtreeR use a database which stored in local storage. Database can be built 2 ways, first way is to retrieve pre built database. These database consist of commonly studied datasets and model organism and updated regularly following the major uniprot and ensembl data releases.
# Called once and saves the built in database to local disk
# Included datasets hgnc,hmdb,taxonomy,go,efo,eco,chebi,interpro
# Included uniprot proteins and ensembl genomes belongs to following organisms:
# homo_sapiens, danio_rerio(zebrafish), gallus_gallus(chicken), mus_musculus, Rattus norvegicus, saccharomyces_cerevisiae,
# arabidopsis_thaliana, drosophila_melanogaster, caenorhabditis_elegans, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655, Escherichia coli K-12
# Requires ~ 6 GB free storage
bbBuiltInDB()
For the genomes which are not included in the pre built database can be built in local computer. All the ensembl and ensembl genomes organisms are supported. List of these genomes and their taxonomy identifiers can be seen from ensembl websites 1,2,3,4,5,6,
Once database is retrieved or built to local disk queries are performed via lightweight local server. Local server provide web interface for data expoloration in addition to the R functions for performing queries for R pipelines. Local server runs as a background process so both web interface and R functions can be used at the same time once it is started. While web server running web interface can be accessed via address http://localhost:8888/ui

Searching dataset identfiers and keywords such as gene name or accessions is performed with bbSearch function by passing comma seperated terms.

Mapping and filtering queries are performed via bibobtree’s mapping
query syntax which allowed chain mapping and filtering capability from
identifiers to target identifiers or attributes. Mapping query syntax
consist of single or multiple mapping queries in the format
map(dataset_id).filter(Boolean query expression).map(...).filter(...)...
and allow performing chain mapping among datasets. For mapping queries
bbMapping function is used, for instance in following example, maps
protein to its go terms and in the second query mapping has been done
with filter.
## mapping_id type
## 1 GO:0000276 cellular_component
## 2 GO:0005741 cellular_component
## 3 GO:0005743 cellular_component
## 4 GO:0005753 cellular_component
## 5 GO:0008289 molecular_function
## 6 GO:0015078 molecular_function
## 7 GO:0015986 biological_process
## 8 GO:0016021 cellular_component
## 9 GO:0045263 cellular_component
## mapping_id type
## 1 GO:0015986 biological_process
In the example for the first parameter single protein accession has
been used but similar with bbSearch functions multiple identifers or
keywords can be used. In the last query type attribute was used to
filter mapping only with biological process go terms. Dataset attributes
are used in the filters starts with their dataset name as in the above
example it starts with go.
In order use in filter expressions, each datasets attributes lists
with bbListAttrs
function via sample identifier. For
instance following query shows gene ontology attributes.
## [1] "type" "name" "[]synonyms"
## [1] "[]accessions" "[]genes" "[]names"
## [4] "[]alternative_names" "[]submitted_names" "sequence.seq"
## [7] "sequence.mass" "reviewed"
In this section biobtreeR functionalities will be discussed in detail via gene and protein centric example use cases. For live demo of web interface including these use cases with additional chemistry centric use cases can be accessed via https://www.ebi.ac.uk/~tgur/biobtree/
Ensembl, Ensembl Genomes and HGNC datasets are used for gene related
data. One of the most common gene related dataset identfiers are
ensembl
,hgnc
,transcript
,exon
.
Let’s start with listing their attiributes,
## [1] "[]names" "[]symbols" "locus_group" "[]aliases"
## [5] "locus_type" "[]prev_names" "[]prev_symbols" "status"
## [9] "[]gene_groups"
## [1] "name" "description" "start" "end" "biotype"
## [6] "genome" "strand" "seq_region" "branch"
## [1] "name" "start" "end" "biotype" "strand"
## [6] "seq_region" "utr5Start" "utr5End" "utr3Start" "utr3End"
## [11] "source"
## [1] "start" "end" "strand" "seq_region"
## [1] "start" "end" "strand" "seq_region" "frame"
Note that there are several other gene related datasets without
attributes and can be used in mapping queries such as probesets,
genebank and entrez etc. Full dataset list can be discovered with
bbListDatasets
. Now lets build example mapping queries,

In the above example as a first parameter taxonomy identifier is used instead of specifying as homo sapiens like in the previous example. Both of these usage are equivalent and produce same output as homo sapiens refer to taxonomy identifer 9606.
Built in function for genomic range queries
To simplfy previous use case query 3 builtin range query functions
are provided. These functions are overlaps
,
within
and covers
. These functions can be used
for ensembl
, transcript
, exon
and
cds
entries which have start and end genome coordinates.
For instance previous query can be written following way with
overlaps
function which list all the overlapping genes in
human with given range.
