R
is an open-source statistical environment which can be
easily modified to enhance its functionality via packages. derfinder
is a R
package available via the Bioconductor
repository for packages. R
can be installed on any
operating system from CRAN
after which you can install derfinder
by using the following commands in your R
session:
derfinder is based on many other packages and in particular in those that have implemented the infrastructure needed for dealing with RNA-seq data. That is, packages like Rsamtools, GenomicAlignments and rtracklayer that allow you to import the data. A derfinder user is not expected to deal with those packages directly but will need to be familiar with GenomicRanges to understand the results derfinder generates. It might also prove to be highly beneficial to check the BiocParallel package for performing parallel computations.
If you are asking yourself the question “Where do I start using Bioconductor?” you might be interested in this blog post.
As package developers, we try to explain clearly how to use our
packages and in which order to use the functions. But R
and
Bioconductor
have a steep learning curve so it is critical
to learn where to ask for help. The blog post quoted above mentions some
but we would like to highlight the Bioconductor support site
as the main resource for getting help: remember to use the
derfinder
tag and check the older
posts. Other alternatives are available such as creating GitHub
issues and tweeting. However, please note that if you want to receive
help you should adhere to the posting
guidelines. It is particularly critical that you provide a small
reproducible example and your session information so package developers
can track down the source of the error.
We would like to highlight the derfinder user Jessica Hekman. She has used derfinder with non-human data, and in the process of doing so discovered some small bugs or sections of the documentation that were not clear.
We hope that derfinder will be useful for your research. Please use the following information to cite the package and the overall approach. Thank you!

derfinder is an R package that implements the DER Finder approach (Frazee, Sabunciyan, Hansen, Irizarry, and Leek, 2014) for RNA-seq data. Briefly, this approach is an alternative to feature-counting and transcript assembly. The basic idea is to identify contiguous base-pairs in the genome that present differential expression signal. These base-pairs are grouped into _d_ifferentially _e_xpressed _r_regions (DERs). This approach is annotation-agnostic which is a feature you might be interested in. In particular, derfinder contains functions that allow you to identify DERs via two alternative methods. You can find more details on the full derfinder users guide.
This is a brief overview of what a DER Finder analysis looks like. In particular, here we will be identifying expressed regions (ERs) without relying on annotation. Next, we’ll identify candidate differentially expressed regions (DERs). Finally, we’ll compare the DERs with known annotation features.
We first load the required packages.
Next, we need to locate the chromosome 21 coverage files for a set of
12 samples. These samples are a small subset from the BrainSpan
Atlas of the Human Brain (BrainSpan, 2011) publicly available data.
The function rawFiles()
helps us in locating these
files.
## Determine the files to use and fix the names
files <- rawFiles(system.file("extdata", "AMY", package = "derfinderData"),
samplepatt = "bw", fileterm = NULL
)
names(files) <- gsub(".bw", "", names(files))
Next, we can load the full coverage data into memory using the
fullCoverage()
function. Note that the BrainSpan
data is already normalized by the total number of mapped reads in each
sample. However, that won’t be the case with most data sets in which
case you might want to use the totalMapped
and
targetSize
arguments. The function
getTotalMapped()
will be helpful to get this
information.
## Load the data from disk
fullCov <- fullCoverage(
files = files, chrs = "chr21", verbose = FALSE,
totalMapped = rep(1, length(files)), targetSize = 1
)
Now that we have the data, we can identify expressed regions (ERs) by using a cutoff of 30 on the base-level mean coverage from these 12 samples. Once the regions have been identified, we can calculate a coverage matrix with one row per ER and one column per sample (12 in this case). For doing this calculation we need to know the length of the sequence reads, which in this study were 76 bp long.
## Get the region matrix of Expressed Regions (ERs)
regionMat <- regionMatrix(fullCov, cutoff = 30, L = 76, verbose = FALSE)
regionMatrix()
returns a list of elements, each with
three pieces of output. The actual ERs are arranged in a
GRanges
object named regions
.

We can then use the coverage matrix and packages such as limma, DESeq2 or edgeR to identify which ERs are differentially expressed. Here we’ll use DESeq2 for which we need some phenotype data.
Now we can identify the DERs using a rounded version of the coverage matrix.

We can then compare the DERs against known annotation to see which
DERs overlap known exons, introns, or intergenic regions. A way to
visualize this information is via a Venn diagram which we can create
using vennRegions()
from the derfinderPlot
package as shown in Figure @ref(fig:vennRegions).

We can check the base-level coverage information for some of our DERs. In this example we do so for the first 5 ERs (Figures @ref(fig:firstfive1), @ref(fig:firstfive2), @ref(fig:firstfive3), @ref(fig:firstfive4), @ref(fig:firstfive5)).
## Extract the region coverage
regionCov <- regionMat$chr21$bpCoverage

groupInfo = pheno$group, nearestAnnotation = annotation,
annotatedRegions = annoRegs, whichRegions = seq_len(5), txdb = txdb,
scalefac = 1, ask = FALSE, verbose = FALSE
)
You can then use the regionReport package to generate interactive HTML reports exploring the results.
