This class is used in the methylPipe library to point to a TABIX compressed file containing base-resolution DNA-methylation data and reference genome sequence
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("BSdata", ...)
or using the function BSdata(file, uncov, org) whose arguments are
described in the next section Slots.
file:Object of class "character" : the TABIX
compressed file containing base-resolution DNA-methylation data.
This file can be generated through the BSprepare
function, and it must contain the following columns:
chromosome assignment (in the form chr1, chr2...),
genomic position (positive integer),
strand (either - or +),
methylation sequence context (either CG, CHG or CHH),
number (>0) of sequencing reads with C calls at that genomic position,
number of sequencing reads with T calls at that genomic position,
binomial pvalue (-10*log10(pvalue)) for calling a mC at that position.
uncov:Object of class GRanges : this
GRanges object consists of the list of genomic regions with
sequencing coverage information; this information is used to distinguish
which methylation sites are unmethylated, but covered, from those
that are missing data since they have no sequencing coverage. This
object is automatically generated by the meth.call
function while processing aligned files generated from the aligner.

This function can be used to convert tabular files containing DNA-methylation base-resolution data so that they can be used to create a BSdata object. Genomic coordinates in the 1-base system are required, i.e. the first base of each chromosome should be at position 1. Files have to be tab-delimited and they have to contain the following columns: chromosome assignment (in the form chr1, .., chr22, chrX, chrY, chrM, chrC), genomic position (positive integer), strand (either - or +), methylation sequence context (either CG, CHG or CHH), number of sequencing reads with C calls (>0) at that genomic position, number of sequencing reads with T calls at that genomic position. Each file has to be sorted by genomic coordinate.
Binomial p-values are added and a compressed file is created together with the Tabix index. P-values indicate for each Cytosine the probability of observing by chance the occurrence of unmethylated reads. The lower the p-value the higher the confidence in calling that Cytosine methylated.

pmdGRanges |
a GRanges object containing the genomic coordinates of Partially Methylated Domains that will be masked |
MCClass |
character; the mC sequence context to be considered, one of all, mCG, mCHG or mCHH |
dmrSize |
numeric; the number of consecutive mC to be simulataneously considered; atleast 5 |
dmrBp |
numeric; the max number of bp containing the dmrSize mC |
binsize |
numeric; the size of the bin used for smoothing the methylation levels, useful for nonCG methylation in human |
eprop |
numeric; the max - min methylation level is determined for each mC, or for each bin, and only mC (or bins) with difference greater than eprop are considered |
coverage |
numeric; the minimum number of total reads at a given cytosine genomic position |
Pvalue |
numeric; to select only those mC with significant p-value |
SNPs |
GRanges; if SNPs information is provided those cytosine are removed from DMR computation |
Typically for nonCG methylation in human a dmrSize of 50, a
dmrBp of 50000 and a binsize of 1000 are used. For CpG methylation in
human and both CpG and nonCG methylation in plants the default
settings are usually fine. Partially Methylated Domains are usually
found in differentiated cells and can constitute up to one third of
the genome (Lister R et al, Nature 2009). Usually DMRs are not
selected within those regions especially when comparing differentiated
and pluripotent cells. Eprop is used to speed up the
analysis. According to the number of samples different test are used
to compare the methylation levels (percentage of methylated reads for
each mC). In case of two samples the non parametric wilcoxon test is
used. In case of more than two samples the kruskal wallis non
parametric testis used. Check consolidateDMRs to further
process and finalize the list of DMRs.
A GRanges object of DMRs with the metadata slots for pValue, MethDiff_Perc and log2Enrichment. When two samples are compared, MethDiff_Perc is the diference between percentage methylation between the conditions compared. However, log2Enrichment is the log2ratio between the mean for the samples.

This class is used in the methylPipe library to define and manipulate a set of genomic regions and the associated DNA methylation patterns
This class is an extension of the RangedSummarizedExperiment class
from the SummarizedExperiment package. Objects can be created using
the function profileDNAmetBin which determines the absolute and
relative methylation level by filling the binC, binmC and binrC slots. The
assays slot of the RangedSummarizedExperiment class here consists of
four matrices:
binC: each genomic region is divided in one or more bins and for each bin the density (per bp) of potential methylation sites is determined.
binmC: each genomic region is divided in one or more bins and for each bin the density (per bp) of methylation events is determined.
binrC: each genomic region is divided in one or more bins and for each bin the relative mC/C content is determined.
binscore: each genomic region is divided in one or more bins and scores can be assigned to them. In particular, it can be convenient for storing reads count for each bin of each genomic region.
The minimal set of data to create a GEcollection object is a set of genomic regions to be provided as a GRanges object and a dataset of class BSdata.
signature(object = "GEcollection"): extracts the
chr assignment of the genomic regions
signature(object = "GEcollection"): extracts

It is also possible to restrict the mC sequence context, to specify the minimal number of reads with C events at a given cytosine genomic position, to specify the minimum depth of sequencing and binomial pValue for the mC calls. A region with no mC will be defined unmethylated (0 is returned for that region). However, if it is overlapping with at least one uncovered region then it is defined non evaluable (NA is retuned).
A list is returned. The length of the list is equal to the length of the GRanges. For each list item either NA, 0 or a data frame are returned. 0 means that the region contains unmethylated DNA methylation sites, whereas NA indicates that the region or some part of region was not covered by the sequencing. If a data frame is returned, it has the following columns: chromosome assignment (in the form chr1, .., chr22, chrX, chrY, chrM, chrC), genomic position (positive integer), strand (either - or +), methylation sequence context (either CG, CHG or CHH), number (>0) of sequencing reads with C calls at that genomic position, number of sequencing reads with T calls at that genomic position, binomial pvalue (-10*log10(pvalue)) for calling a mC at that position.

The function reads methylation calls from the sorted SAM file
so that they can be used to create a BSdata object. SAM files
must be sorted based on chr and start of reads. The user can specify
the sequence context in which the methylation information is read from
these files either "CpG" or "All". If "All" is specified, cytosine
methylation in all context (CG, CHG or CHH) will be read. The
methylation calls is saved as a text file in the output folder.
These text files are tab-delimited and contain the following columns:
chromosome assignment (in the form chr1, chr2..),
genomic position (positive integer),
strand (either - or +),
methylation sequence context (either CG, CHG or CHH),
number (>0) of sequencing reads with C calls at that genomic position,
number of sequencing reads with T calls at that genomic position.
In addition a GRanges object consisting of uncovered genomic regions is
generated and saved in the output folder for each sample. This information is
used to distinguish unmethylated cytosines from those that are not covered by
sequencing. This GRanges object is used further to provide uncovered regions
information while creating BSdata object by BSdata method.
A text file of methylation calls and a GRanges object consisting of uncovered genomic regions for each sample are generated in the "output_folder" folder. The files are prefixed with sample name.

This function can be used to display for one genomic region (genome-browser like) DNA methylation data together with other omics data or static annotation info. The genomic region is indicated by chr, start and end. Specifically, grl is used to display binned high- or low-resolution data, while brmeth is used to point to (unbinned) base-resolution data. Each component of grl can either be a GEcollection or a GRanges.
In case of GEcollection, binC, binmC or binrC components will be extracted as indicated in datatype (setting C, mC or rC, respectively), and if more than 1 bin is present the average value will be considered for each range. Datatype can be set to density to extract the binscore component of the GEcollection, which can be used to store low-resolution or other omics data attacched to a base-resolution dataset.
In case of a GRanges (suitable for low-resolution or other omics data independently from base-resolution data), only the 1st column of the mcols will be considered. Eventually, for both GEcolleciton and GRanges tracks, a bar with the specific value will be displayed for the ranges occurring in the considered region (if any).
Regarding unbinned base-resolution data, mcContext defines the sequence context to be considered for the methyl-cytosines for each component of the brmeth object; a bar with height equal to the methylation level of each cytosine will be displayed for each sample (track).
Annodata is an optional GRangesList that can be used to display co-occurring annotation data, such as CpG islands (presence or absence of the regions only). transcriptDB and BSgenome are used to overlay the structure of annotated genes and chromosome ideogram, respectively.
