Hi Dario, You can create the annotation with strand = c(?+?). For example, AnnotationRangedData = RangedData(IRanges(start = c(967659, 2010898, 2496700, 3075866, + 3123260), end = c(967869, 2011108, 2496920, 3076166, 3123470), names = c("t1", + "t2", "t3", "t4", "t5")), space = c("1", "2", "3", "1", "2"), strand =c("+")) Please take a look at the examples given on the paper just published on BMC Bioinformatics http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/237. In case you could not open the link, I also attached the pdf file. Regarding your other question about distance calculation, I suggest to create your AnnotationRangedData and PeakRangedData with start=midpoint to get the distance between midpoints. The distance is calculated differently for features in plus strand and minus strand. For example, to calculate the distance between peak and TSS, the distance is calculated as the distance between the start of the binding site and the TSS, which is the gene start for genes located on the forward strand and the gene end for genes located on the reverse strand. Therefore, adding another parameter would mean to overwrite the way how the distance is calculated based on strandedness. After you tried the above suggested way and still prefer having a new parameter, I will be happy to add it to the next release.

Hi Dario, Thanks for the clarification! So you still want the nearest feature and insideFeature column to be calculated using start (+ strand) and end (- strand). You only need an extra column with distance from midpoint to midpoint to be included? Best regards, Julie On 5/14/10 12:20 AM, "Dario Strbenac" <d.strbenac@garvan.org.au> wrote: Oh, actually I thought of a problem with making start = midpoint. If you modify the start position to be the average, then you might get the wrong values in insideFeature column. e.g. Peak Real coordinates -------------------- chr | start | end | ------------------- chr1 | 5000 | 5500 | Peak modified coordinates (start is midpoint) -------------------- chr | start | end | ------------------- chr1 | 5250 | 5500 | A gene ----------------------------- chr | start | end | strand | ----------------------------- chr1 | 1000 | 5100 | - | So, instead of being 'overlapStart', it is called as 'upstream'. It would be good if the package worked out an extra column for the tables, called 'position' and used the position for the distances, and the real start and end positions for the overlapping. e.g. Something like this if("strand" %in% colnames(table)) { table$position = ifelse(table$strand == '+', table$start, table$end) } else { table$position = round((table$start + table$end) / 2) } - Dario. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 22:40:46 -0400 >From: "Zhu, Julie" <julie.zhu@umassmed.edu> >Subject: Re: ChIPpeakAnno Strandedness and distance calculation >To: "D.Strbenac@garvan.org.au" <d.strbenac@garvan.org.au> >Cc: "bioconductor" <bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch> > >Hi Dario, > >You can create the annotation with strand = c("+").

Not quite. I mean that midpoint to midpoint distance would be good when the feature didn't have a strand. If the feature does have strand information, then it'd be nice to have midpoint of peak to start (start for + strand, end for - strand) of feature.

Hi Dario, I have added the new feature you requested into dev version 1.5.2 and fixed the strandness issue (strand now is optional) in the dev version. Here is the code snippet using your example to test the distance calculations for a few common scenarios. Please let me know if you have problems. Thank you very much for the input! peaksT <- data.frame(chr = c("chr1", "chr1", "chr1"), start = c(1000, 2000, 3000), end = c(2000, 3000, 4000)) featuresT <- data.frame(chr = c("chr1", "chr1", "chr1"), start = c(1500, 2500, 3500), end = c(2500, 3500, 4500), strand = c("-","+","+")) myPeakList <- RangedData(space = peaksT$chr, ranges = IRanges(start = peaksT$start, end = peaksT$end)) TSS.ordered <- RangedData(space = featuresT$chr, strand = featuresT$strand, ranges = IRanges(start = featuresT$start, end = featuresT$end, names=c("t1","t2","t3"))) library(ChIPpeakAnno) #To be compatible with old versions, by default distance is calculated as peak start to TSS (start for + strand and end for - strand) annotatePeakInBatch(myPeakList, AnnotationData=TSS.ordered) #By specifying PeakLocForDistance to "m" or "middle", the distance now is calculated as middle of the peak to TSS annotatePeakInBatch(myPeakList, AnnotationData=TSS.ordered, PeakLocForDistance="m") #By specifying PeakLocForDistance="m" and FeatureLocForDistance="m", the distance is calculated as middle of the peak to middle of the feature. annotatePeakInBatch(myPeakList, AnnotationData=TSS.ordered, PeakLocForDistance="m",FeatureLocForDistance="m") Best regards, Julie ******************************************* Lihua Julie Zhu, Ph.D Research Associate Professor Program in Gene Function and Expression Program in Molecular Medicine University of Massachusetts Medical School 364 Plantation Street, Room 613 Worcester, MA 01605 508-856-5256 http://www.umassmed.edu/pgfe/faculty/zhu.cfm On 5/16/10 7:04 PM, "Dario Strbenac" <d.strbenac@garvan.org.au> wrote: Not quite.

Hi Dario, Thanks for the clarification! Use case 1 is the default behavior in annotatePeakInBatch. Are you using the current version of ChIPpeakAnno? Could you please share your code snippet and session info? Thanks!

Oh, actually I thought of a problem with making start = midpoint. If you modify the start position to be the average, then you might get the wrong values in insideFeature column. e.g. Peak Real coordinates -------------------- chr | start | end | ------------------- chr1 | 5000 | 5500 | Peak modified coordinates (start is midpoint) -------------------- chr | start | end | ------------------- chr1 | 5250 | 5500 | A gene ----------------------------- chr | start | end | strand | ----------------------------- chr1 | 1000 | 5100 | - | So, instead of being 'overlapStart', it is called as 'upstream'. It would be good if the package worked out an extra column for the tables, called 'position' and used the position for the distances, and the real start and end positions for the overlapping. e.g. Something like this if("strand" %in% colnames(table)) { table$position = ifelse(table$strand == '+', table$start, table$end) } else { table$position = round((table$start + table$end) / 2) } - Dario. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 22:40:46 -0400 >From: "Zhu, Julie" <julie.zhu at="" umassmed.edu=""> >Subject: Re: ChIPpeakAnno Strandedness and distance calculation >To: "D.Strbenac at garvan.org.au" <d.strbenac at="" garvan.org.au=""> >Cc: "bioconductor" <bioconductor at="" stat.math.ethz.ch=""> > >Hi Dario, > >You can create the annotation with strand = c(?+?).
