observedMutations - Calculate observed numbers of mutations
Description¶
observedMutations
calculates the observed number of mutations for each
sequence in the input data.frame
.
Usage¶
observedMutations(
db,
sequenceColumn = "sequence_alignment",
germlineColumn = "germline_alignment_d_mask",
regionDefinition = NULL,
mutationDefinition = NULL,
ambiguousMode = c("eitherOr", "and"),
frequency = FALSE,
combine = FALSE,
nproc = 1,
cloneColumn = "clone_id",
juncLengthColumn = "junction_length"
)
Arguments¶
- db
data.frame
containing sequence data.- sequenceColumn
character
name of the column containing input sequences. IUPAC ambiguous characters for DNA are supported.- germlineColumn
character
name of the column containing the germline or reference sequence. IUPAC ambiguous characters for DNA are supported.- regionDefinition
- RegionDefinition object defining the regions
and boundaries of the Ig sequences. If NULL, mutations
are counted for entire sequence. To use regions definitions,
sequences in
sequenceColum
andgermlineColumn
must be aligned, following the IMGT schema. - mutationDefinition
- MutationDefinition object defining replacement
and silent mutation criteria. If
NULL
then replacement and silent are determined by exact amino acid identity. - ambiguousMode
- whether to consider ambiguous characters as
"either or"
or"and"
when determining and counting the type(s) of mutations. Applicable only ifsequenceColumn
and/orgermlineColumn
contain(s) ambiguous characters. One ofc("eitherOr", "and")
. Default is"eitherOr"
. - frequency
logical
indicating whether or not to calculate mutation frequencies. Default isFALSE
.- combine
logical
indicating whether for each sequence should the mutation counts for the different regions (CDR, FWR) and mutation types be combined and return one value of count/frequency per sequence instead of multiple values. Default isFALSE
.- nproc
- number of cores to distribute the operation over. If the
cluster has already been set the call function with
nproc
= 0 to not reset or reinitialize. Default isnproc
= 1. - cloneColumn
- clone id column name in
db
- juncLengthColumn
- junction length column name in
db
Value¶
A modified db
data.frame
with observed mutation counts for each
sequence listed. The columns names are dynamically created based on the
regions in the regionDefinition
. For example, when using the
IMGT_V definition, which defines positions for CDR and
FWR, the following columns are added:
mu_count_cdr_r
: number of replacement mutations in CDR1 and CDR2 of the V-segment.mu_count_cdr_s
: number of silent mutations in CDR1 and CDR2 of the V-segment.mu_count_fwr_r
: number of replacement mutations in FWR1, FWR2 and FWR3 of the V-segment.mu_count_fwr_s
: number of silent mutations in FWR1, FWR2 and FWR3 of the V-segment.
If frequency=TRUE
, R and S mutation frequencies are
calculated over the number of non-N positions in the specified regions.
mu_freq_cdr_r
: frequency of replacement mutations in CDR1 and CDR2 of the V-segment.mu_freq_cdr_s
: frequency of silent mutations in CDR1 and CDR2 of the V-segment.mu_freq_fwr_r
: frequency of replacement mutations in FWR1, FWR2 and FWR3 of the V-segment.mu_freq_fwr_s
: frequency of silent mutations in FWR1, FWR2 and FWR3 of the V-segment.
If frequency=TRUE
and combine=TRUE
, the mutations and non-N positions
are aggregated and a single mu_freq
value is returned
mu_freq
: frequency of replacement and silent mutations in the specified region
Details¶
Mutation counts are determined by comparing a reference sequence to the input sequences in the
column specified by sequenceColumn
. See calcObservedMutations for more technical details,
including criteria for which sequence differences are included in the mutation
counts and which are not.
The mutations are binned as either replacement (R) or silent (S) across the different
regions of the sequences as defined by regionDefinition
. Typically, this would
be the framework (FWR) and complementarity determining (CDR) regions of IMGT-gapped
nucleotide sequences. Mutation counts are appended to the input db
as
additional columns.
If db
includes lineage information, such as the parent_sequence
column created by
makeGraphDf, the reference sequence can be set to use that field as reference sequence
using the germlineColumn
argument.
Examples¶
# Subset example data
data(ExampleDb, package="alakazam")
db <- ExampleDb[1:10, ]
# Calculate mutation frequency over the entire sequence
db_obs <- observedMutations(db, sequenceColumn="sequence_alignment",
germlineColumn="germline_alignment_d_mask",
frequency=TRUE,
nproc=1)
# Count of V-region mutations split by FWR and CDR
# With mutations only considered replacement if charge changes
db_obs <- observedMutations(db, sequenceColumn="sequence_alignment",
germlineColumn="germline_alignment_d_mask",
regionDefinition=IMGT_V,
mutationDefinition=CHARGE_MUTATIONS,
nproc=1)
# Count of VDJ-region mutations, split by FWR and CDR
db_obs <- observedMutations(db, sequenceColumn="sequence_alignment",
germlineColumn="germline_alignment_d_mask",
regionDefinition=IMGT_VDJ,
nproc=1)
# Extend data with lineage information
data(ExampleTrees, package="alakazam")
graph <- ExampleTrees[[17]]
clone <- alakazam::makeChangeoClone(subset(ExampleDb, clone_id == graph$clone))
gdf <- makeGraphDf(graph, clone)
# Count of mutations between observed sequence and immediate ancenstor
db_obs <- observedMutations(gdf, sequenceColumn="sequence",
germlineColumn="parent_sequence",
regionDefinition=IMGT_VDJ,
nproc=1)
