Package 'geneRxCluster'

Title: gRx Differential Clustering
Description: Detect Differential Clustering of Genomic Sites such as gene therapy integrations. The package provides some functions for exploring genomic insertion sites originating from two different sources. Possibly, the two sources are two different gene therapy vectors. Vectors are preferred that target sensitive regions less frequently, motivating the search for localized clusters of insertions and comparison of the clusters formed by integration of different vectors. Scan statistics allow the discovery of spatial differences in clustering and calculation of False Discovery Rates (FDRs) providing statistical methods for comparing retroviral vectors. A scan statistic for comparing two vectors using multiple window widths to detect clustering differentials and compute FDRs is implemented here.

Differential Clustering of Integration Sites

Description

geneRxCluster provides the function gRxCluster and friends.

Details

Windows defined by k consecutive integration sites are scanned. A two class indicator is tallied to determine whether one class dominates. If one does, a flag is set and the window is retained. Various values of k are used. Conflicts between overlapping windows with the same value of k can occur — two windows are dominated by the two different classes. In that case, the sites of overlap are marked and neither window is retained. Conflicts can also arise between windows differing in their values of k. In that case, the window having the smaller value of k is retained and the other is discarded.

Permutation tests and permutation based false discovery rates are available.

Filtering of windows is allowed so that regions which are sparsely populated need not be studied.


gRxCluster

Description

cluster integration sites - optionally perform the permutations needed to estimate the discoveries expected under a null hypothesis

Usage

gRxCluster(object, starts, group, kvals, nperm = 0L,
  pruneFun = prune.loglik, ..., cutpt.filter.expr, cutpt.tail.expr, tmp.env,
  sample.id, sample.tab)

Arguments

object

chromosome names or other grouping of starts

starts

ordered chromosome position or ordered integer vector

group

logical vector separating two groups

kvals

integer vector of window widths

nperm

number of permutations for FDR calculation

pruneFun

a function like prune.loglik.

...

other args

cutpt.filter.expr

(optional) R object or call (or variable naming a call) with (optional) var x (window widths in base pairs) to filter windows. It must evaluate to mode "double". If not specified, as.double(apply(x,2,median,na.rm=TRUE)) is used. If an atomic vector of length one is supplied it is expanded to the proper length and coerced to double. If this arg is the name of a variable provided in tmp.env, it must be protected with quote(...).

cutpt.tail.expr

R object or call (or variable naming a call) with (optional) vars: k,n, and x (as above). Returns list like critVal.target. k is a vector of the number of sites in a collection of windows, and n is a vector of counts or proportions for the two classes of insertion. If not supplied, critVal.target(k,n,target=5,posdiff=x) is used. If this arg is the name of a variable provided in tmp.env, it must be protected with quote(...).

tmp.env

(optional) environment to use in evaluation of cutpt.* expressions. This is usually needed for critVal.power, which is first calculated and placed in the environment, and the supplied object is used in the expression for cutpt.filter.expr.

sample.id

(optional) integer vector indexing cells in sample.tab to be looked up to determine group under permutation. A factor can be used, too, but will be coerced to integer.

sample.tab

(optional) integer vector containing 0 or 1 in each cell. Its length is the same as max(sample.id). Both or neither sample.id and sample.tab should be supplied. When supplied sample.tab[sample.id] must equal group. If the arguments are supplied, permutations are of the form sample(sample.tab)[sample.id]. Otherwise they are of the form sample(group).

Value

a GRanges object with a special metadata slot, see gRxCluster-object

gRxCluster object

Description

Overview of the result of gRxCluster(...)

Details

The object returned is a GRanges object.

If the object is x, seqnames(x) and ranges(x) slots demarcate the clusters discovered. There will be one element for each cluster (aka ‘clump’) discovered.

Using the default argument pruneFun=prune.loglik or pruneFun=noprune, mcols(x) will have these columns:

value1 and value2

are the counts of the two classes of insertion sites for the clusters of object x

clump.id

numbers each cluster.

If the user supplies a custom pruneFun, it should return a GRanges with those columns and one element for each unique clump.id. The column target.min has the smallest nominal False Discoveries Expected for each cluster and is added to (or replaces) the mcols(x) produced by the argument supplied as pruneFun.

metadata(x) will include these components:

criticalValues

A list object such as supplied by critVal.target whose elements each give the cutpoints to be used for a window with k sites. attributes(metadata(object)$criticalValues[[i]]) will contain elements

fdr

with dimension c(k+1,4) of target false discovery expectations and and the one-sided p-values

target

the target for false discovery which sometimes is specified a priori and sometimes results from calculation

n

an upper bound on the number of windows to screen, if this number is needed.

In some cases, an attribute is attached to metadata(object)$criticalValues, see critVal.power for an example.

kvals

the number of sites, k, to include in a window

perm_cluster_best

a list whose canonical element is a vector of values like x$target.min obtained from a permutation of the class indicators

summary_matrix

a matrix giving the start, end, depth, and counts in each class for every cluster and depth in sequential order

call

the call invoking gRxCluster

which may include some arguments added by default.
