The goal of the rpx package is to provide programmatic access to proteomics data from R, in particular to the ProteomeXchange (Vizcaino J.A. et al, 2014) central repository (see http://www.proteomexchange.org/ and http://central.proteomexchange.org/). Additional repositories are likely to be added in the future.
The central object that handles data access is the
PXDataset
(version 2) class. Such an instance can be
generated by passing a valid PX experiment identifier to the
PXDataset()
constructor.
## Querying ProteomeXchange for PXD000001.
## Project PXD000001 with 11 files
##
## Resource ID BFC1 in cache in /github/home/.cache/R/rpx.
## [1] 'F063721.dat' ... [11] 'erwinia_carotovora.fasta'
## Use 'pxfiles(.)' to see all files.
Several attributes can be extracted from an PXDataset
projects, as described below.
The experiment identifier, that was originally used to create the
project can be extracted with the pxid()
method:
## [1] "PXD000001"
The file transfer url where the data files can be accessed can be
queried with the pxurl()
method:
## [1] "ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2012/03/PXD000001/generated"
The species the data has been generated the data can be obtain
calling the pxtax()
function:
## [1] "Erwinia carotovora"
Relevant bibliographic references can be queried with the
pxref()
method:
## [1] "Gatto L, Christoforou A; Using R and Bioconductor for proteomics data"
## [2] "analysis., Biochim Biophys Acta, 2013 May 18,"
## [3] "doi:10.1016/j.bbapap.2013.04.032 PMID:23692960"
All files available for the PX experiment can be obtained with the
pxfiles
method:

The complete or partial data set can be downloaded with the
pxget()
function. The function takes a project instance as
first mandatory argument.
The next argument, list
, specifies what files to
download. If missing, a menu is printed and the user can select a file.
If set to "all"
, all files of the experiment are
downloaded. One of multiple file names, their indices or logicals can
also be used to download specific files.

The rpx
package makes use of the BiocFileCache
package to avoid repeatedly dowloading data. When PXDataset
projects are created and and project files are downloaded, they stored
in the package’s central or a user-defined cache. Next time the project
is instantiated with PXDataset()
or a project file is
downloaded with pxget()
, existing artefacts will be
retrieve from cache, instead of being created/downloaded from the remote
server again. See ?rpxCache
for details about caching.
Below, we download the fasta file from the PXD000001 dataset and load it with the Biostrings package.
