Today is my birthday and it happened to be the release day of Bioconductor 3.3. It’s again the time to reflect what I’ve done in the past year.
ChIPseeker
Although ChIPseeker was designed for ChIP-seq annotation, I am very glad to find that someone else use it to annotate other data including copy number variants and DNA breakpoints.
annotatePeak
Several parameters including sameStrand,ignoreOverlap, ignoreUpstream and ignoreDownstream were added in annotatePeak requested by @crazyhottommy for using ChIPseeker to annotate breakpoints from whole genome sequencing data.
Another parameter overlap was also introduced. By default overlap="TSS" and only overlap with TSS will be reported as the nearest gene. If overlap="all", then gene overlap with peak will be reported as nearest gene, no matter the overlap is at TSS region or not.
Now annotatePeak also support using user’s customize regions to annotate their data by passing TxDb=user_defined_GRanges.
getBioRegion
getPromoters() function prepare a GRanges object of promoter regions by user specific upstream and downstream distance from Transcript Start Site (TSS). Then we can align the peaks that are mapping to these regions and visualize the profile or heatmap of ChIP binding to the TSS regions.
Users (1 and 2) are interesting in the intensity of peaks binding to the start of intron/exon, and ChIPseeker provides a new function getBioRegion to output GRanges object of Intron/Exon start regions.
visualization
upsetplotwas implemented to visualize ChIP annotation overlap.covplotnow support GRangesList.
GEO data mining
ChIPseeker incorporates GEO database and supports data mining to infer cooperative regulation. The data was updated and now ChIPseeker contains 19348 bed file information.
clusterProfiler
We compare clusterProfiler with GSEA-P (which released by broad institute), the p-values calculated by these two software is almost identical.
For comparing biological themes, clusterProfiler supports formula to express complex conditions and facet is supported to visualize complex result.
read.gmt function for parsing GMT file format from Molecular Signatures Database, so that gene set collections in this database can be used in clusterProfiler for both hypergeometric test and GSEA.
KEGG Module was supported just like the KEGG Pathway, clusterProfiler will query the online annotation data which keep the annotation data alwasy updated.
The KEGG database was updated quite frequently. The KEGG.db which was not updated since 2012, it contains annotation of 5894 human genes. In Feb. 2015, when clusterProfiler first supports querying online KEGG data, KEGG contains annotation of 6861 human genes and today it has 7018 human genes annotated. Most of the tools/webservers used out-dated data (e.g. DAVID not updated since 2010), the analyzed result may totally changed if we use a recently updated data. Indeed clusterProfiler is more reliable as we always use the latest data.
In addition to bitr function that can translate biological ID using OrgDb object, we provides bitr_kegg that uses KEGG API for translating biological ID. It supports more than 4000 species (can be search via the search_kegg_species function) as in KEGG Pathway and Module analysis.
The function called of enrichGO and gseGO was changed. Now not only species that have OrgDb available in Bioconductor can be analyzed but also all species that have an OrgDb can be analyzed which can be query online via AnnotationHub or build with user’s own data. With this update, enrichGO and gseGO can input any gene ID type if only the ID type was supported in the OrgDb.
GO enrichment analysis alwasy output redundant terms, we implemented a simplify function to remove redundant terms by calculating GO semantic similarity using GOSemSim. Several useful utilities include dropGO, go2ont, go2term, gofilter and gsfilter are also provided.
I bump the version to 3.0.0 the following three reasons:
- the changes of function calls
- can analyze any ontology/pathway annotation
- can analyze all speices
Although the package is very simple when I published it, I keep update and add new features from my own idea or user’s request. Now this package is indeed in good shape. Here is the summary.
This package implements methods to analyze and visualize functional profiles of genomic coordinates (supported by ChIPseeker), gene and gene clusters.
clusterProfiler supports both hypergeometric test and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis for many ontologies/pathways, including:
- Disease Ontology (via DOSE)
- Network of Cancer Gene (via DOSE)
- Gene Ontology (supports many species with GO annotation query online via AnnotationHub)
- KEGG Pathway and Module with latest online data (supports more than 2000 species listed in http://www.genome.jp/kegg/catalog/org_list.html)
- Reactome Pathway (via ReactomePA)
- DAVID (via RDAVIDWebService)
- Molecular Signatures Database
- hallmark gene sets
- positional gene sets
- curated gene sets
- motif gene sets
- computational gene sets
- GO gene sets
- oncogenic signatures
- immunologic signatures
- Other Annotations
- from other sources (e.g. DisGeNET as an example)
- user’s annotation
- customized ontology
- and many others
clusterProfiler also provides several visualization methods to help interpreting enriched results, including:
- barplot
- cnetplot
- dotplot
- enrichMap
- gseaplot
- plotGOgraph (via topGO package)
- upsetplot
and several useful utilities:
- bitr (Biological Id TranslatoR)
- bitr_kegg (bitr using KEGG source)
- compareCluster (biological theme comparison)
- dropGO (screen out GO term of specific level or specific term)
- go2ont (convert GO ID to Ontology)
- go2term (convert GO ID to descriptive term)
- gofilter (restrict result at specific GO level)
- gsfilter (restrict result by gene set size)
- search_kegg_organism (search kegg supported organism)
- setReadable (convert IDs stored
enrichResultobject to gene symbol) - simplify (remove redundant GO terms, supported via GOSemSim)
DOSE
DOSE now test bimodal separately in GSEA and the output pvalues are more conserved.
maxGSSize parameter was added, with default value of 500. Usually if the geneset > 500, its probability of being called significant by GSEA rises quite dramatically.
gsfilter function for restricting enriched results with minimal and maximal gene set sizes.
upsetplot was implemented to visualize overlap of enriched gene sets.
The dot sizes in enrichMap now scaled by category sizes
ggtree
I put more efforts to extend ggtree than the sum of all other packages. Here listed the major new features while small improvement and bug fixed can be found in the NEWS file.
