RiboProfiling (version 1.0.0)

riboSeqFromBAM: Starting from a BAM file path: quality plots, shift ribosome position, coverage on multiple transcript features and on codons.

Description

Starting from a BAM file path: quality plots, shift ribosome position, coverage on multiple transcript features and on codons.

Usage

riboSeqFromBAM(listeInputBamFile, genomeName, txdb, percBestExpressed, flankSize, listShiftValue)

Arguments

listeInputBamFile

A character path or a vector of paths to the ribo-seq BAM file(s). If multiple BAM files are provided, they should come from the same genome alignment.

genomeName

A character object containing the name of the genome used for the alignment BAM file. The name should be one of the UCSC ensGene list: ucscGenomes()[ , "db"]. Ex. "hg19" or "mm10". This parameter is used to build the TxDb object.

txdb

a TxDb object containing the annotations info to comfront with the alignment files. Either genomeName or txdb parameters should be provided.

percBestExpressed

numeric [between 0 and 1]. The percentage of best expressed CDSs on which to plot the coverage around the TSS. Necessary if the shiftValue parameter must be estimated. Default value 0.03 (3%).

flankSize

an integer. How many bp left and right of the TSS should the coverage be performed?

listShiftValue

a vector of integer. It should have the same length as the inputBamFile vector. The numeric value for shifting ranges of reads on genomic features when computing coverage. Set this parameter to 0 if no shift should be performed. If this parameter is missing, the shiftValue is computed based on the maximum peak of read start coverage around the TSS. A plot is produced to illustrate this estimation.

Value

A list of list for each BAM file in the inputBamFile list. For each BAM file 2 objects are returned: one data.frame with info on the genomic features and the corresponding coverage column, and one list of per ORF codon coverage.

Examples

#the txdb object can be given as parameter or not.
#If it is not specified, a txdb object is build from UCSC.
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene::TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene

#in this example only one BAM file is treated.
#However, multiple BAM files can be analyzed together.
myFile <- system.file("extdata", "ctrl_sample.bam", package="RiboProfiling")
listeInputBam <- c(myFile)

#when running this function it is important that chromosome names
#in UCSC and your BAM correspond: the "chr" particle
covData <- riboSeqFromBAM(listeInputBam, txdb=txdb, listShiftValue=c(-14))
