Package 'coMethDMR' reference manual

Title:	Accurate identification of co-methylated and differentially methylated regions in epigenome-wide association studies
Description:	coMethDMR identifies genomic regions associated with continuous phenotypes by optimally leverages covariations among CpGs within predefined genomic regions. Instead of testing all CpGs within a genomic region, coMethDMR carries out an additional step that selects co-methylated sub-regions first without using any outcome information. Next, coMethDMR tests association between methylation within the sub-region and continuous phenotype using a random coefficient mixed effects model, which models both variations between CpG sites within the region and differential methylation simultaneously.

Extract clusters of CpGs located closely in a genomic region.

Description

Extract clusters of CpGs located closely in a genomic region.

Usage

CloseBySingleRegion(
  CpGs_char,
  genome = c("hg19", "hg38"),
  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  manifest_gr = NULL,
  maxGap = 200,
  minCpGs = 3
)
CloseBySingleRegion(
  CpGs_char,
  genome = c("hg19", "hg38"),
  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  manifest_gr = NULL,
  maxGap = 200,
  minCpGs = 3
)

Arguments

`CpGs_char`	a list of CpG IDs
`genome`	Human genome of reference hg19 or hg38
`arrayType`	Type of array, 450k or EPIC
`manifest_gr`	A GRanges object with the genome manifest (as returned by `ExperimentHub` or by `ImportSesameData`). This function by default ignores this argument in favour of the `genome` and `arrayType` arguments.
`maxGap`	an integer, genomic locations within maxGap from each other are placed into the same cluster
`minCpGs`	an integer, minimum number of CpGs for the resulting CpG cluster

Details

Note that this function depends only on CpG locations, and not on any methylation data. The algorithm is based on the clusterMaker function in the bumphunter R package. Each cluster is essentially a group of CpG locations such that two consecutive locations in the cluster are separated by less than maxGap.

Value

a list, each item in the list is a character vector of CpG IDs located closely (i.e. in the same cluster)

Examples


   CpGs_char <- c(

`nCores_int`	Number of computing cores to be used when executing code in parallel. Defaults to 1 (serial computing).
`...`	Dots for additional arguments passed to the cluster constructor. See `CreateParallelWorkers` for more information.

Details

There are two ways to input genomic regions for this function: (1) use CpGs_ls argument, or (2) use file argument. Examples of these files are in /inst/extdata/ folder of the package.

Value

When output = "dataframe" is selected, returns a list of data frames, each with CpG (CpG name), Chr (chromosome number), MAPINFO (genomic position), r_drop (correlation between the CpG with rest of the CpGs), keep (indicator for co-methylated CpG), keep_contiguous (index for contiguous comethylated subregions).

When output = "CpGs" is selected, returns a list, each item is a list of CpGs in the contiguous co-methylated subregion.

Create a Parallel Computing Cluster

Description

This function is an operating-system agnostic wrapper for the SnowParam and MulticoreParam constructor functions.

Usage

CreateParallelWorkers(nCores, ...)
CreateParallelWorkers(nCores, ...)

Arguments

`nCores`	The number of computing cores to make available for coMethDMR computation
`...`	Additional arguments passed to the cluster constructors.

Details

This function checks the operating system and then creates a cluster of workers using the SnowParam function for Windows machines and the MulticoreParam function for non-Windows machines.

Value

A parameter class for use in parallel evaluation

Examples

   workers_cl <- CreateParallelWorkers(nCores = 4)
   
workers_cl <- CreateParallelWorkers(nCores = 4)

Computes leave-one-out correlations (rDrop) for each CpG

Description

Computes leave-one-out correlations (rDrop) for each CpG

Usage

CreateRdrop(data, method = c("pearson", "spearman"), use = "complete.obs")
CreateRdrop(data, method = c("pearson", "spearman"), use = "complete.obs")

Arguments

`data`	a dataframe with rownames = sample IDs, column names = CpG IDs.
`method`	method for computing correlation, can be "pearson" or "spearman", and is passed to the `cor` function.
`use`	method for handling missing values when calculating the correlation. Defaults to `"complete.obs"` because the option `"pairwise.complete.obs"` only works for Pearson correlation.

Details

An outlier CpG in a genomic region will typically have low correlation with the rest of the CpGs in a genomic region. On the other hand, in a cluster of co-methylated CpGs, we expect each CpG to have high correlation with the rest of the CpGs. The r.drop statistic is used to identify these co-methylated CpGs here.

Value

A data frame with the following columns:

CpG : CpG ID
r_drop : The correlation between each CpG with the sum of the rest of the CpGs

Examples

   data(betaMatrix_ex1)

   CreateRdrop(data = betaMatrix_ex1, method = "pearson")

data(betaMatrix_ex1)

   CreateRdrop(data = betaMatrix_ex1, method = "pearson")

Get Linear Model Residuals

Description

Remove covariate effects from methylayion values by fitting probe-specific linear models

Usage

GetResiduals(
  dnam,
  betaToM = TRUE,
  epsilon = 1e-08,
  pheno_df,
  covariates_char,
  nCores_int = 1L,
  ...
)
GetResiduals(
  dnam,
  betaToM = TRUE,
  epsilon = 1e-08,
  pheno_df,
  covariates_char,
  nCores_int = 1L,
  ...
)

Arguments

`dnam`	data frame or matrix of methylation values with row names = CpG IDs and column names = sample IDs. This is often the genome-wide array data.
`betaToM`	indicates if methylation beta values (ranging from [0, 1]) should be converted to M values (ranging from (-Inf, Inf)). Note that if beta values are the input to `dnam`, then `betaToM` should be set to `TRUE`, otherwise `FALSE`.
`epsilon`	When transforming beta values to M values, what should be done to values exactly equal to 0 or 1? The M value transformation would yield `-Inf` or `Inf` which causes issues in the statistical model. We thus replace all values exactly equal to 0 with 0 + `epsilon`, and we replace all values exactly equal to 1 with 1 - `epsilon`. Defaults to `epsilon = 1e-08`.
`pheno_df`	a data frame with phenotype and covariates, with variable `Sample` indicating sample IDs.
`covariates_char`	character vector for names of the covariate variables
`nCores_int`	Number of computing cores to be used when executing code in parallel. Defaults to 1 (serial computing).
`...`	Dots for additional arguments passed to the cluster constructor. See `CreateParallelWorkers` for more information.

Details

This function fits an ordinary linear model predicting methylation values for each probe from the specified covariates. This process will be useful in scenarios where methylation values in a region or at an individual probe are known a priori to have differential methylation independent of the disease or condition of interest.

Details

This function assumes that the .onLoad() function has executed properly and (therefore) that the necessary data sets are in the cache.

Examples

  hm450k_gr <- ImportSesameData("HM450.hg19.manifest")

  covariates_char,
  modelType = c("randCoef", "simple"),
  genome = c("hg19", "hg38"),
  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  manifest_gr = NULL,
  ignoreStrand = TRUE,
  outLogFile = NULL
)
lmmTest(

  genome = c("hg19", "hg38"),
  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  manifest_gr = NULL,
  ignoreStrand = TRUE,
  outLogFile = NULL
)

Arguments

`betaOne_df`	matrix of beta values for one genomic region, with row names = CpG IDs and column names = sample IDs
`pheno_df`	a data frame with phenotype and covariates, with variable `Sample` indicating sample IDs.
`contPheno_char`	character string of the main effect (a continuous phenotype) to be tested for association with methylation values in the region
`covariates_char`	character vector for names of the covariate variables
`modelType`	type of mixed model: can be `randCoef` for random coefficient mixed model or `simple` for simple linear mixed model.
`genome`	Human genome of reference: hg19 or hg38
`arrayType`	Type of array: "450k" or "EPIC"
`manifest_gr`	A GRanges object with the genome manifest (as returned by `ExperimentHub` or by `ImportSesameData`). This function by default ignores this argument in favour of the `genome` and `arrayType` arguments.
`ignoreStrand`	Whether strand can be ignored, default is TRUE
`outLogFile`	Name of log file for messages of mixed model analysis

Details

This function implements a mixed model to test association between methylation M values in a genomic region with a continuous phenotype. In our simulation studies, we found both models shown below are conservative, so p-values are estimated from normal distributions instead of Student's t distributions.

When modelType = "randCoef", the model is:

M ~ contPheno_char + covariates_char + (1|Sample) + (contPheno_char|CpG).

The last term specifies random intercept and slope for each CpG. When modelType = "simple", the model is

M ~ contPheno_char + covariates_char + (1|Sample).

Value

A dataframe with one row for association result of one region and the following columns: Estimate, StdErr, and pvalue showing the association of methylation values in the genomic region tested with the continuous phenotype supplied in contPheno_char

  covariates_char,
  modelType = c("randCoef", "simple"),

  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  ignoreStrand = TRUE,
  outFile = NULL,
  outLogFile = NULL,
  nCores_int = 1L,
  ...
)

Arguments

`betas`	data frame or matrix of beta values for all genomic regions, with row names = CpG IDs and column names = sample IDs. This is often the genome-wide array data.
`region_ls`	a list of genomic regions; each item is a vector of CpG IDs within a genomic region. The co-methylated regions can be obtained by function `CoMethAllRegions`.
`pheno_df`	a data frame with phenotype and covariates, with variable `Sample` indicating sample IDs.
`contPheno_char`	character string of the main effect (a continuous phenotype) to be tested for association with methylation values in each region
`covariates_char`	character vector for names of the covariate variables
`modelType`	type of mixed model; can be `randCoef` for random coefficient mixed model or `simple` for simple linear mixed model.
`genome`	Human genome of reference: hg19 or hg38
`arrayType`	Type of array: "450k" or "EPIC"
`ignoreStrand`	Whether strand can be ignored, default is TRUE
`outFile`	output .csv file with the results for the mixed model analysis
`outLogFile`	log file for mixed models analysis messages
`nCores_int`	Number of computing cores to be used when executing code in parallel. Defaults to 1 (serial computing).
`...`	Dots for additional arguments passed to the cluster constructor. See `CreateParallelWorkers` for more information.

Details

When modelType = "randCoef", the model is:

M ~ contPheno_char + covariates_char + (1|Sample) + (contPheno_char|CpG).

The last term specifies random intercept and slope for each CpG. When modelType = "simple", the model is

M ~ contPheno_char + covariates_char + (1|Sample).

For the results of mixed models, note that if the mixed model failed to converge, p-value for mixed model is set to 1. Also, if the mixed model is singular, at least one of the estimated variance components for intercepts or slopes random effects is 0, because there isn't enough variability in the data to estimate the random effects. In this case, the mixed model reduces to a fixed effects model. The p-values for these regions are still valid.

Value

If outFile is NULL, this function returns a data frame as described below. If outFile is specified, this function writes a data frame in .csv format with the following information to the disk: location of the genomic region (chrom, start, end), number of CpGs (nCpGs), Estimate, Standard error (StdErr) of the test statistic, p-value and False Discovery Rate (FDR) for association between methylation values in each genomic region with phenotype (pValue).

If outLogFile is specified, this function also writes a .txt file that includes messages for mixed model fitting to the disk.

Mark CpGs in contiguous and co-methylated region

Description

Mark CpGs in contiguous and co-methylated region

Usage

MarkComethylatedCpGs(
  betaCluster_mat,
  betaToM = TRUE,
  epsilon = 1e-08,
  rDropThresh_num = 0.4,
  method = c("pearson", "spearman"),

)
MarkComethylatedCpGs(
  betaCluster_mat,
  betaToM = TRUE,
  epsilon = 1e-08,
  rDropThresh_num = 0.4,
  method = c("pearson", "spearman"),
  use = "complete.obs"
)

Arguments

`betaCluster_mat`	matrix of beta values, with rownames = sample ids and column names = CpG ids. Note that the CpGs need to be ordered by their genomic positions, this can be accomplished by the `OrderCpGbyLocation` function.
`betaToM`	indicates if beta values should be converted to M values before computing correlations. Defaults to TRUE.
`epsilon`	When transforming beta values to M values, what should be done to values exactly equal to 0 or 1? The M value transformation would yield `-Inf` or `Inf` which causes issues in the statistical model. We thus replace all values exactly equal to 0 with 0 + `epsilon`, and we replace all values exactly equal to 1 with 1 - `epsilon`. Defaults to `epsilon = 1e-08`.
`rDropThresh_num`	threshold for minimum correlation between a cpg with the rest of the CpGs. Defaults to 0.4.
`method`	correlation method; can be "pearson" or "spearman"
`use`	method for handling missing values when calculating the correlation. Defaults to `"complete.obs"` because the option `"pairwise.complete.obs"` only works for Pearson correlation.

Details

Value

A data frame with the following columns:

CpG : CpG ID
keep : The CpGs with keep = 1 belong to the contiguous and co-methylated region
ind : Index for the CpGs
r_drop : The correlation between each CpG with the sum of the rest of the CpGs

Usage

MarkMissing(dnaM_df, sampMissing_p = 0.5, probeMissing_p = 0.25)
MarkMissing(dnaM_df, sampMissing_p = 0.5, probeMissing_p = 0.25)

Arguments

`dnaM_df`	A data frame of DNA methylation values. Samples are columns. Row names are probe IDs.
`sampMissing_p`	The maximum proportion of missingness allowed in a sample. Defaults to 50%.
`probeMissing_p`	The maximum proportion of missingness allowed in a probe. Defaults to 25%.

Details

Before calculating the missing proportion of samples, probes with missingness greater than the threshold are dropped first.

Value

A list of four entries:

dropSamples: the column names of samples with more than sampMissing_p percent missing values
keepSamples: the column names of samples with less than or equal to sampMissing_p percent missing values
dropProbes: the row names of probes with more than probeMissing_p percent missing values
keepProbes: the row names of probes with less than or equal to probeMissing_p percent missing values

Convert genomic regions in a data frame to GRanges format

Description

Convert genomic regions in a data frame to GRanges format

Usage

RegionsToRanges(regionName_char)
RegionsToRanges(regionName_char)

Arguments

regionName_char

a character vector of regions in the format "chrxx:xxxxxx-xxxxxx"

Value

genomic regions in GRanges format

Examples

 regions <- c("chr22:19709548-19709755", "chr2:241721922-241722113")

Extract clusters of CpG probes located closely

Description

Extract clusters of CpG probes located closely

Usage

WriteCloseByAllRegions(
  fileName,
  regions,
  genome = c("hg19", "hg38"),
  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  ignoreStrand = TRUE,
  maxGap = 200,
  minCpGs = 3,
  ...
)
WriteCloseByAllRegions(
  fileName,
  regions,
  genome = c("hg19", "hg38"),
  arrayType = c("450k", "EPIC"),
  ignoreStrand = TRUE,
  maxGap = 200,
  minCpGs = 3,
  ...
)

Arguments

`fileName`	Name of the RDS file where the output genomic regions will be saved.
`regions`	GRanges of input genomic regions
`genome`	Human genome of reference: hg19 or hg38
`arrayType`	Type of array: "450k" or "EPIC"
`ignoreStrand`	Whether strand can be ignored, default is TRUE
`maxGap`	an integer, genomic locations within maxGap from each other are placed into the same cluster
`minCpGs`	an integer, minimum number of CpGs for each resulting region
`...`	Dots for internal arguments. Currently unused.

Details

For maxGap = 200 and minCpGs = 3, we have already calculated the clusters of CpGs. They are saved in folder /inst/extdata/.

Value

Nothing. Instead, file with the genomic regions containing CpGs located closely within each inputting pre-defined genomic region will be written to the disk

Examples
