Hi, all; is there an easy way/function to map genomic coordinates into coordinates in a given transcript? We've got a number of potential polymorphisms we've mapped into UCSC coordinates and we are trying to figure out their positions in associated transcripts so we can figure out the reading frame and extract the changes (if any) to coding, but I haven't found an easy way to do so in Bioconductor. This seems like the sort of thing someone would have a package for but I haven't been able to find it. Any thoughts? Hollis Wright, PhD Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute

Sounds like this would be relatively straight-forward: call IRanges::findOverlaps to find the transcript(s) for each polymorphism and then subtract the transcription start from the position (and add 1), remembering to flip the operation for the negative strand. I could see the "shift" function being used for this, where the 'shift' argument is a Ranges, using the starts. A GenomicRanges method could account for the strand, but "shift" does not yet dispatch on its second argument. But maybe there needs to be a new generic with a better name.

Something similar to this is what I initially tried, yes. We'd like to do it for the spliced transcript, however, and that's where we are having the difficulty since the splice can move the reading frame.

Hi Hollis, Have you looked at the GenomicFeatures package? It should allow you to get annotations for transcripts from biomaRt or UCSC and then pull out GRangesList objects that represent the different transcripts for each gene mapped into genomic coordinates. You could then compare that to your data using findOverlaps(). Marc On 11/29/2010 02:07 PM, Hollis Wright wrote: > Something similar to this is what I initially tried, yes.

There probably needs to be a feature in GenomicRanges that does this for a GRangesList, considering splicing, etc. It wouldn't be that hard to implement. Any takers?

You might want to look at BioPerl's module for performing such transformations for inspiration: Bio::Coordinate::GeneMapper http://doc.bioperl.org/releases/bioperl-current/bioperl- live/Bio/Coordinate/GeneMapper.html -Aaron On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 7:12 PM, Michael Lawrence <lawrence.michael@gene.com> wrote: > There probably needs to be a feature in GenomicRanges that does this for a > GRangesList, considering splicing, etc. It wouldn't be that hard to > implement. > > Any takers? > > On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 3:11 PM, Marc Carlson <mcarlson@fhcrc.org> wrote: > > > Hi Hollis, > > > > Have you looked at the GenomicFeatures package?

Thanks. That is fancier than my thoughts: just a function that finds overlap in an arbitrary Ranges, RangesList, GRanges, GRangesList, etc and subtracts the start of the overlapping region, with some special semantics for GRangesList. It looks like Bio::Coordinate::GeneMapper maps on a per gene basis, while we will want something vectorized over large sets of genes. The complication that arises is that genes and especially transcripts can overlap. Many positions will land in multiple transcripts. Maybe the process could be more incremental. First, findOverlaps(), get a RangesMatching, so the user is aware of the matching. Then a function could take the matching and the input ranges and perform the transformation, returning a result for each matching. Maybe a convenience function that does both, returning an IntegerList without matchings, if it proves useful.
