Plot signals and segmentation for a region of a chromosome
plotAlongChrom(segObj, y, probeAnno, gff, isDirectHybe=FALSE, what = c("dots"), ## "heatmap" chr, coord, highlight, colors, doLegend=FALSE, featureExclude=c("chromosome", "nucleotide_match", "insertion"), featureColorScheme=1, extras, rowNamesHeatmap, rowNamesExtras, ylab, ylabExtras, main, colHeatmap=colorRamp(brewer.pal(9, "YlGnBu")), colExtras=colorRamp(brewer.pal(9, "Reds")), sepPlots=FALSE, reOrder=TRUE, ...)
segObj |
Either an environment or an object of S4 class
segmentation .
See Details. |
y |
a numeric vector or matrix containing the signal to be plotted. See Details. |
probeAnno |
environment with probe annotations. See
Details, and package
davidTiling for an example. |
gff |
data frame with genome annotation from the GFF file. |
isDirectHybe |
logical scalar: if TRUE, the mapping of probes to genomic strands is reversed with respect to the default. This is appropriate for data from a direct RNA hybridization that used no reverse transcription. |
what |
character scalar indicating which signal visualization to plot. Can be
either dots to plot each probe intensity with a point, or heatmap to produce a colorscale representation of the intesities. |
chr |
integer of length 1 indicating the chromosome number to plot. |
coord |
integer vector of length 2 containing the start and end coordinates (in bases) for the plot. |
highlight |
(optional) list with two elements: a single numeric value
coord and a character strand . If present, this
position is marked by a vertical red bar on the coordinate axis. The color can be changed using the colors argument below. |
colors |
(optional) named character vector. If missing,
a default color scheme is used:
c("+"="#00441b", "-"="#081d58", "duplicated"="grey", "cp"="#101010",
"highlight"="red", "threshold"="grey") ,
where the first three elements refer to the colors of data points and the
last three to the colors of lines in the plot. |
doLegend |
logical: should the plot contain a legend? |
featureExclude |
character vector of names of feature types (in
gff ) that should not be plotted. Default is "chromosome" ,
"nucleotide_match" and "insertion" . Additional possibilities
include: "ARS" , "repeat\_region" ,
"repeat\_family" and "nc\_primary\_transcript" . |
featureColorScheme |
numeric scalar, used to select a color scheme for the
boxes representing genomic features such as coding sequences, ncRNAs etc.
Currently the only value supported is 1 (see plotAlongChromLegend or plotFeatures for further information). |
extras |
a matrix containing additional values to be plotted along the
chromosome in a separate panel (such as p-values). This option is only
available when y is specified. These values should be on the scale [0,1]. |
rowNamesHeatmap |
character vector of row names for the main heatmap. |
rowNamesExtras |
character vector of row names for the extra heatmap. |
ylab |
character label for y-axis of main plot. |
ylabExtras |
character label for y-axis on extras panel (if specified). |
main |
character: plot title. |
colHeatmap |
function describing color scheme for the main heatmap plot (defaults to
YlGnBu from RColorBrewer package). |
colExtras |
function describing color scheme for the extra heatmap plot (if specified)
(defaults to Reds from RColorBrewer package). |
sepPlots |
logical scalar. If TRUE, each column of intensities in segObj or
y is plotted separately (maximum of 3) in the same figure. When FALSE, the average
is plotted. This argument is only used when what is set to dots . |
reOrder |
logical scalar (only used when sepPlots is TRUE). If TRUE, the first column of intensities is printed at the bottom of each plot, and the subsequent columns are plotted above. If FALSE, the first appears at the top, and the subsequent columns are plotted below. |
... |
further arguments that can be passed to the
functions that implement the what option above (see
plotSegmentationDots and
plotSegmentationHeatmap ) or gff plotting (see plotFeatures and plotAlongChromLegend ). |
Intensities: There are two alternative, mutually exclusive ways of providing the intensities that are to be plotted to this function.
y
and probeAnno
. In this case,
y
is a matrix of intensities, whose rows correspond to probes
on the array, and its columns to different conditions, time points, etc.
It is also acceptable that y
is provided as a vector, in
which case it is converted to an nrow(y) x 1
matrix.
probeAnno
is an
environment whose elements correspond to target sequences (e.g.
chromosome strands) and that contain integer vectors of length
nrow(y)
with information about the probes: start and end positions of
their alignment to the target sequence, their row indices in
y
, the type of alignment (is it perfect? is is unique?).
For example,
the start positions and indices of probes for the + strand of
chromosome 1 would be described by environment elements
"1.+.start"
and "1.+.index"
.
segObj
.
segObj: This can be either an object of S4 class
segmentation
or an environment that by convention contains a
certain set of objects.
Future work on this package
will focus on the S4 class segmentation
. The environment
option is provided for backward compatibility.
Explanation of the environment: the intended workflow is as follows:
Use the script segment.R
(in the inst/scripts
directory of this
package) to generate segmentations.
This can be run in parallel on several processors, separately for each
chromosome and strand. The results of this are stored in files of the
name 1.+.rda
, 1.-.rda
, 2.+.rda
, and so forth,
typically within a dedicated directory.
Then use the script readSegments.R
to collect the
R
objects in these .rda
files into the environment.
It contains three types of data:
segScore
with segment scores; it can
be missing iff nrBasesPerSeg
is present,
theThreshold
, which is used to
draw a horizontal "threshold" line in the plot.
... and the different signal visualization methods (what
option):
If what=="dots"
, the argument showConfidenceIntervals
can be a logical scalar to choose whether vertical dashed lines are
drawn for the confidence interval. In any case, these are only drawn
if they are present in the segmentation
object in segObj
.
