Hi,
I have been using the IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe reference
manual to find the nearest TSS and corresponding EntrezGene ID
information for analysis of my 450k data, but I have a question.
The distance to TSS file I have generated contains 485512 rows, but
the 450k array covers 485577 CpGs - why is there a discrepancy? I used
the code from the reference manual as follows:
# find the nearest TSS and its corresponding EntrezGene ID
library(GenomicFeatures)
CpGs.unstranded = CpGs.450k
strand(CpGs.unstranded) = "*"
refgene.TxDb = makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC("refGene", genome="hg19")
# nearest forward TSS
TSS.forward = transcripts(refgene.TxDb,
vals=list(tx_strand="+"),
columns="gene_id")
nearest.fwd = precede(CpGs.unstranded, TSS.forward)
nearest.fwd.eg = nearest.fwd # to keep dimensions right
notfound = whichis.na(nearest.fwd)) # track for later
nearest.fwd.eg[-notfound] = as.character(elementMetadata(TSS.forward)$
gene_id[nearest.fwd[-notfound]])
TSSs.fwd = start(TSS.forward[nearest.fwd[-notfound]])
distToTSS.fwd = nearest.fwd # to keep dimensions right
distToTSS.fwd[-notfound] = start(CpGs.unstranded)[-notfound] -
TSSs.fwd
# note that these are NEGATIVE -- which is correct!
# nearest reverse TSS
TSS.reverse = transcripts(refgene.TxDb,
vals=list(tx_strand="-"),
columns="gene_id")
nearest.rev = precede(CpGs.unstranded, TSS.reverse)
nearest.rev.eg = nearest.rev # to keep dimensions right
notfound = whichis.na(nearest.rev)) # track for later
nearest.rev.eg[-notfound] = as.character(elementMetadata(TSS.reverse)$
gene_id[nearest.rev[-notfound]])
TSSs.rev = start(TSS.reverse[nearest.rev[-notfound]])
distToTSS.rev = nearest.rev # to keep dimensions right
distToTSS.rev[-notfound] = start(CpGs.unstranded)[-notfound] -
TSSs.rev
# now these are POSITIVE: we are walking up the opposite strand.
# tabulate and link these together for the annotation package:
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$fwd.dist <- distToTSS.fwd
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$fwd.gene_id <- nearest.fwd.eg
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$rev.dist <- distToTSS.rev
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$rev.gene_id <- nearest.rev.eg
FWD.CLOSER = with(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe,
union( which( abs(fwd.dist) < abs(rev.dist) ),
which( is.na(rev.dist) ) ) )
REV.CLOSER = with(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe,
union( which( abs(fwd.dist) > abs(rev.dist) ),
which( is.na(fwd.dist) ) ) )
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$DISTTOTSS =
pmin(abs(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$fwd.dist),
abs(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$rev.dist))
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$ENTREZ = NA
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$ENTREZ[FWD.CLOSER] =
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$fwd.gene_id
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$ENTREZ[REV.CLOSER] =
IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$rev.gene_id
write.table(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$DISTTOTSS,
"DistToTSS.csv", sep=",")
write.table(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$ENTREZ, "ENTREZ.csv",
sep=",")
write.table(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$ENTREZ[FWD.CLOSER],
"Fwd.Closer.csv", sep=",")
write.table(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kprobe$ENTREZ[REV.CLOSER],
"Rev.Closer.csv", sep=",")
Thanks in advance.
