Hi,

I would like to use ChIPQC on rat ChIP-seq data that were generated using rn6 genome version. Despite another post explaining that it's possible to generate custom annotation (https://support.bioconductor.org/p/70893/), I haven't succeeded to do it myself for rn6.

Has anyone be able to do it?

Thanks, Fred

Is there something wrong with the existing TxDb for rn6?

I don't think so. I guess the problem is that I don't know how to generate a ChIPQC custom annotation from TxDb.Rnorvegicus.UCSC.rn6.refGene.

Could you tell me how to do that please?

Well it depends on what you want to use as your binding regions. If you want 'the usual' I guess there are two ways to go about it. You could 'cheat the system' (untested!) by doing

library(TxDb.Rnorvegicus.UCSC.rn6.refGene)
TxDb.Rnorvegicus.UCSC.rn4.ensGene <- TxDb.Rnorvegicus.UCSC.rn6.refGene
whatevs <- ChIPQC(samples, annotation = "rn4")

Which should then use the rn6 TxDb package instead of the rn4 version. Or you could just make your own annotation, using the existing getAnnotation function.

myNewGetAnnotation <- function(){
    txdb <- TxDb.Rnorvegicus.UCSC.rn6.refGene
    All5utrs <- reduce(unique(unlist(fiveUTRsByTranscript(txdb))))
    All3utrs <- reduce(unique(unlist(threeUTRsByTranscript(txdb))))
    Allcds <- reduce(unique(unlist(cdsBy(txdb,"tx"))))
    Allintrons <- reduce(unique(unlist(intronsByTranscript(txdb))))
    Alltranscripts <- reduce(unique(transcripts(txdb)))

    posAllTranscripts <- Alltranscripts[strand(Alltranscripts) == "+"]
    posAllTranscripts <- posAllTranscripts[!(start(posAllTranscripts)-20000 < 0)]
    negAllTranscripts <- Alltranscripts[strand(Alltranscripts) == "-"]
    chrLimits <- seqlengths(negAllTranscripts)[as.character(seqnames(negAllTranscripts))]
    negAllTranscripts <- negAllTranscripts[!(end(negAllTranscripts)+20000 > chrLimits)]
    Alltranscripts <- c(posAllTranscripts,negAllTranscripts)
    Promoters500 <-  reduce(flank(Alltranscripts,500))
    Promoters2000to500 <-  reduce(flank(Promoters500,1500))
    LongPromoter20000to2000  <- reduce(flank(Promoters2000to500,18000))
    if(!missing(AllChr) & !is.null(AllChr)){
      All5utrs <- GetGRanges(All5utrs,AllChr=AllChr)
      All3utrs <- GetGRanges(All3utrs,AllChr=AllChr)
      Allcds <- GetGRanges(Allcds,AllChr=AllChr)
      Allintrons <- GetGRanges(Allintrons,AllChr=AllChr)
      Alltranscripts <- GetGRanges(Alltranscripts,AllChr=AllChr)
      Promoters500 <- GetGRanges(Promoters500,AllChr=AllChr)
      Promoters2000to500 <-  GetGRanges(Promoters2000to500,AllChr=AllChr)
      LongPromoter20000to2000  <- GetGRanges(LongPromoter20000to2000,AllChr=AllChr)
    }
  }
  return(list(version=GeneAnnotation,LongPromoter20000to2000=LongPromoter20000to2000,
              Promoters2000to500=Promoters2000to500,Promoters500=Promoters500,
              All5utrs=All5utrs,Alltranscripts=Alltranscripts,Allcds=Allcds,
              Allintrons=Allintrons,All3utrs=All3utrs))
}

## after loading the rn6 TxDb, do
annot <- myNewGetAnnotation()
whatevs <- ChIPQC(samples, annotation = annot)

There may be a simpler, obvious way that I am missing, and perhaps Rory Stark or Tom Carroll will be along in a bit to clear that up. But I don't see a simple way to use a TxDb other than the choices they have hard-coded, so unfortunately it might take extra measures like this.

Hi James,

Sorry I was away for a while.

But unfortunately the code is not working in my hands. Can you still help to find what is wrong?

Could return(list(version=GeneAnnotation be wrong here (you spoke about the existing getAnnotation yourself).

I also got Error in missing(AllChr) : 'missing' peut seulement être utilisé pour des arguments eventually.

Well, as you can see, I'm pretty lost here! Thanks!

Ah. My bad. Try

myNewGetAnnotation <- function(GeneAnnotation = "rn6", AllChr){
    txdb <- TxDb.Rnorvegicus.UCSC.rn6.refGene
    All5utrs <- reduce(unique(unlist(fiveUTRsByTranscript(txdb))))
    All3utrs <- reduce(unique(unlist(threeUTRsByTranscript(txdb))))
    Allcds <- reduce(unique(unlist(cdsBy(txdb,"tx"))))
    Allintrons <- reduce(unique(unlist(intronsByTranscript(txdb))))
    Alltranscripts <- reduce(unique(transcripts(txdb)))

    posAllTranscripts <- Alltranscripts[strand(Alltranscripts) == "+"]
    posAllTranscripts <- posAllTranscripts[!(start(posAllTranscripts)-20000 < 0)]
    negAllTranscripts <- Alltranscripts[strand(Alltranscripts) == "-"]
    chrLimits <- seqlengths(negAllTranscripts)[as.character(seqnames(negAllTranscripts))]
    negAllTranscripts <- negAllTranscripts[!(end(negAllTranscripts)+20000 > chrLimits)]
    Alltranscripts <- c(posAllTranscripts,negAllTranscripts)
    Promoters500 <-  reduce(flank(Alltranscripts,500))
    Promoters2000to500 <-  reduce(flank(Promoters500,1500))
    LongPromoter20000to2000  <- reduce(flank(Promoters2000to500,18000))
    if(!missing(AllChr) & !is.null(AllChr)){
      All5utrs <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(All5utrs,AllChr=AllChr)
      All3utrs <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(All3utrs,AllChr=AllChr)
      Allcds <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(Allcds,AllChr=AllChr)
      Allintrons <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(Allintrons,AllChr=AllChr)
      Alltranscripts <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(Alltranscripts,AllChr=AllChr)
      Promoters500 <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(Promoters500,AllChr=AllChr)
      Promoters2000to500 <-  ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(Promoters2000to500,AllChr=AllChr)
      LongPromoter20000to2000  <- ChIPQC:::GetGRanges(LongPromoter20000to2000,AllChr=AllChr)
    }
  return(list(version=GeneAnnotation,LongPromoter20000to2000=LongPromoter20000to2000,
              Promoters2000to500=Promoters2000to500,Promoters500=Promoters500,
              All5utrs=All5utrs,Alltranscripts=Alltranscripts,Allcds=Allcds,
              Allintrons=Allintrons,All3utrs=All3utrs))
}
