megadepth quick start guide
The goal of megadepth is to provide an R interface to the command line tool Megadepth for BigWig and BAM related utilities created by Christopher Wilks (Wilks, Ahmed, Baker, Zhang, Collado-Torres, and Langmead, 2020). This R package enables fast processing of BigWig files on downstream packages such as dasper and recount3. The Megadepth software also provides utilities for processing BAM files and extracting coverage information from them.
Here is an illustration on how fast megadepth is compared to other tools for processing local and remote BigWig files.
Timing results. Timing comparison for processing 1,000 genomic regions on a bigWig file that is available on the local disk or on a remote resource. We compared megadepth against rtracklayer and pyBigWig. megadepth is typically faster that these other software solutions for computing the mean coverage across a set of 1,000 input genomic regions. Check https://github.com/LieberInstitute/megadepth/tree/devel/analysis for more details.
Throughout the documentation we use a capital M to refer
to the software by Christopher Wilks and a lower case m to
refer to this R/Bioconductor package.
Basics
Install megadepth
R is an open-source statistical environment which can be
easily modified to enhance its functionality via packages. megadepth
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
megadepth
by using the following commands in your R session:
Required knowledge
megadepth is based on many other packages and in particular in those that have implemented the infrastructure needed for dealing with RNA-seq data and high-throughput sequencing data in general. You might benefit from being familiar with the BigWig file format and the rtracklayer for importing those files into R as well as exporting BED files (Lawrence, Gentleman, and Carey, 2009). If you are working with annoation files, GenomicFeatures and GenomicRanges will also be useful to you.
If you are asking yourself the question “Where do I start using Bioconductor?” you might be interested in this blog post.
Asking for help
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
megadepth 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.
Citing megadepth
We hope that megadepth will be useful for your research. Please use the following information to cite the package and the overall approach. Thank you!

To get started, we need to load the megadepth package into our R session. This will load all the required dependencies.
Once we have the R package loaded, we need to install the Megadepth
software. We can do so with install_megadepth(), which
downloads a binary for your OS (Linux, Windows or macOS) 1. We can then use with
an example BigWig file to compute the coverage at a set of regions.
## Install the latest version of Megadepth
install_megadepth(force = TRUE)
#> The latest megadepth version is 1.2.0
#> This is not an interactive session, therefore megadepth has been installed temporarily to
#> /tmp/RtmpWO7cac/megadepthNext, we might want to use megadepth to quantify the coverage at a set of regions of the genome of interest to us. Here we will use two example files that are include in the package for illustration and testing purposes. One of them is a bigWig file that contains the base-pair coverage information for a sample of interest and the second one is BED file which contains the genomic region coordinates of interest. So we first locate them.
## Next, we locate the example BigWig and annotation files
example_bw <- system.file("tests", "test.bam.all.bw",
package = "megadepth", mustWork = TRUE
)
annotation_file <- system.file("tests", "testbw2.bed",
package = "megadepth", mustWork = TRUE
)
## Where are they?
example_bw
#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpdgqG5r/Rinst20a675224248/megadepth/tests/test.bam.all.bw"
annotation_file
#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpdgqG5r/Rinst20a675224248/megadepth/tests/testbw2.bed"Once we have located the example files we can proceed to calculating
the base-pair coverage for our genomic regions of interest. There are
several ways to do this with megadepth,
but here we use the user-friendly function get_coverage().
This function will perform a given operation op on the
bigWig file for a given set of regions of interest
(annotation). One of those operations is to compute the mean
base-pair coverage for each input region. This is what we’ll do with our
example bigWig file.
## We can then use megadepth to compute the coverage
bw_cov <- get_coverage(
example_bw,
op = "mean",
annotation = annotation_file
)
bw_cov

users, that is, a GRanges object that can be used with
other Bioconductor software packages (Huber, Carey, Gentleman, Anders,
Carlson, Carvalho, Bravo, Davis, Gatto, Girke, Gottardo, Hahne, Hansen,
Irizarry, Lawrence, Love, MacDonald, Obenchain, Oleś, Pagès, Reyes,
Shannon, Smyth, Tenenbaum, Waldron, and Morgan, 2015).
This example is just the tip of the iceberg, as Megadepth and thus megadepth can do a lot of useful processing operations on BAM and bigWig files.
Users guide
Command interface
Megadepth
is very powerful and can do a lot of different things. The
R/Bioconductor package provides two functions for interfacing with Megadepth,
megadepth_cmd() and megadepth_shell(). For the
first one, megadepth_cmd(), you need to know the actual
command syntax you want to use and format it accordingly. If you are
more comfortable with R functions, megadepth_shell() uses
cmdfun
to power this interface and capture the standard output stream into
R.
To make it easier to use, megadepth includes functions
that simplify the number of arguments, read in the output files, and
converts them into R/Bioconductor friendly objects, such as
get_coverage() illustrated previously in the quick start
section.
We hope that you’ll find megadepth and Megadepth
useful for your work. If you are interested in checking how
fast megadepth is, check out the speed
analysis comparison against other tools. Note that the size
of the files used and the number of genomic regions queried will affect
the speed comparisons.

#> BAM to bigWig
One use case of Megadepth is to
convert BAM files to bigWig coverage files. To simplify this process and
verify that you are not accidentally overwriting valuable files, megadepth
provides the function bam_to_bigwig(). To illustrate this
functionality, we first locate an example BAM file. We then generate the
output bigWig files
## Find the example BAM file
example_bam <- system.file("tests", "test.bam",
package = "megadepth", mustWork = TRUE
)
## Create the BigWig file
## Currently Megadepth does not support this on Windows
example_bw <- bam_to_bigwig(example_bam, overwrite = TRUE)
## Path to the output files generated by bam_to_bigwig()
example_bw
#> all.bw
#> "/tmp/RtmpWO7cac/test.bam.all.bw"Currently this functionality does not work on Windows. In which case, you can continue the vignette with the following example bigWig file.
Summarize coverage over regions
Once you have a biWig file, you might want to quantify the mean or
total expression across a set of genomic coordinates. bigWig files are
typically used by genome browsers, and as part of the recount
and recount3
projects we have released thousands of them. Before we expand more
complex uses cases, you might be interested in
get_coverage(). This function will use Megadepth to
create a tab-separated value (TSV) file containing the coverage summary
information 2 for a given input file that can be read
into R using read_coverage() 3 as shown below with an
example set of genomic regions of interest (annotation).
## Next, we locate the example annotation BED file
annotation_file <- system.file("tests", "testbw2.bed",
package = "megadepth", mustWork = TRUE
)
## Now we can compute the coverage
bw_cov <- get_coverage(example_bw, op = "mean", annotation = annotation_file)
bw_cov

#> seqinfo: 2 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsIf you are familiar with rtracklayer,
you’ll notice that the coverage summaries are basically the same to the
one that can be generated with rtracklayer::import.bw(),
which is what derfinder
uses internally.
## Checking with derfinder and rtracklayer
bed <- rtracklayer::import(annotation_file)
## The file needs a name
names(example_bw) <- "example"
## Read in the base-pair coverage data
regionCov <- derfinder::getRegionCoverage(
regions = bed,
files = example_bw,
verbose = FALSE
)
## Summarize the base-pair coverage data.
## Note that we have to round the mean to make them comparable.
testthat::expect_equivalent(
round(sapply(regionCov[c(1, 3:4, 2)], function(x) mean(x$value)), 2),
bw_cov$score,
)
#> Warning: `expect_equivalent()` was deprecated in the 3rd edition.
#> ℹ Use expect_equal(ignore_attr = TRUE)
## If we compute the sum, there's no need to round
testthat::expect_equivalent(
sapply(regionCov[c(1, 3:4, 2)], function(x) sum(x$value)),
get_coverage(example_bw, op = "sum", annotation = annotation_file)$score,
)
#> Warning: `expect_equivalent()` was deprecated in the 3rd edition.
#> ℹ Use expect_equal(ignore_attr = TRUE)BAM to junctions
Megadepth provides utilities that might be of use for future work or that were developed for building recount3. One of these features is the possibility to extract locally co-ocurring junctions from a BAM file as described in the Megadepth documentation. This feature works only for junctions for which a read or (read pair) has 2 or more junctions.
To illustrate this functionality, we will use an example BAM file and
generate the locally co-occurring junction table with
bam_to_junctions(). We’ll then read in the data using
read_junction_table() 4. process_junction_table() can
then be used to convert the junctions into a STAR-compatible format.
## Find the example BAM file
example_bam <- system.file("tests", "test.bam",
package = "megadepth", mustWork = TRUE
)
## Run bam_to_junctions()
