Dear Valerie, Is there currently any way to run summarizeOverlaps in a feature- overlap unaware mode, e.g with an ignorefeatureOL=FALSE/TRUE setting? Currently, one can switch back to countOverlaps when feature overlap unawareness is the more appropriate counting mode for a biological question, but then double counting of reads mapping to multiple-range features is not accounted for. It would be really nice to have such a feature-overlap unaware option directly in summarizeOverlaps. Another question relates to the memory usage of summarizeOverlaps. Has this been optimized yet? On a typical bam file with ~50-100 million reads the memory usage of summarizeOverlaps is often around 10-20GB. To use the function on a desktop computer or in large-scale RNA-Seq projects on a commodity compute cluster, it would be desirable if every counting instance would consume not more than 5GB of RAM. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions, Thomas

Memory usage is addressed by using the yieldSize argument to the BamFile(List) function to read only a small number of reads (or read pairs) at a time.

It sounds like you want to count with countOverlaps() but still want the double counting to be resolved. This is essentially what the other modes are doing so I must be missing something. In this example 2 reads hit feature A, 1 read hits feature B. With something like ignorefeature0L=TRUE, what results would you expect to see? Maybe you have another, more descriptive example? reads <- GRanges("chr1", IRanges(c(1, 5, 20), width=3)) features <- GRanges("chr1", IRanges(c(1, 20), width=10, names=c("A", "B"))) > countOverlaps(features, reads) [1] 2 1 > > Another question relates to the memory usage of summarizeOverlaps.

Have you tried the BamFileList-method? There is an example at the bottom of the ?BamFileList man page using summarizeOverlaps(). As Ryan mentioned, the key is to set the 'yieldSize' parameter when creating the BamFile. This method also makes use of mclapply().

Hi Valerie, Perhaps let's call this more explicitly an ignore_inter_feature_overlap option that we often need for cases like this: Read1 ---- F1 ---------------- F2 ----------- where we would like to have at least the option to assign Read1 to both F1 and F2: F1: 1 F2: 1 However, summarizeOverlapse doesn't count Read1 at all in all of its currently available modes that I am aware of. This lack of an ignore_inter_feature_overlap option is frequently a problem when working with poorly annotated genomes (high uncertainty about hidden/incorrect feature overlaps) or various RNA/ChIP-Seq _engineering_ projects where I rather take the risk of ambiguous read assignments than not counting at all as shown above. ## Here is a code example illustrating the same case: library(GenomicRanges); library(Rsamtools) rd <- GappedAlignments(letters[1], seqnames = Rle(rep("chr1",1)), pos = as.integer(c(500)), cigar = rep("100M", 1), strand = strand(rep("+", 1))) gr1 <- GRanges("chr1", IRanges(start=100, width=1001), strand="+", ID="feat1") gr2 <- GRanges("chr1", IRanges(start=500, width=101), strand="+", ID="feat2") gr <- c(gr1, gr2) ## All of the three current modes in summarizeOverlaps return a count of zero ## because of its inter_feature_overlap awareness: assays(summarizeOverlaps(gr, rd, mode="Union", ignore.strand=TRUE))$counts assays(summarizeOverlaps(gr, rd, mode="IntersectionStrict", ignore.strand=TRUE))$counts assays(summarizeOverlaps(gr, rd, mode="IntersectionNotEmpty", ignore.strand=TRUE))$counts [,1] [1,] 0 [2,] 0 ## However, countOverlaps handles this correctly, but is not the best choice when ## counting multiple range features. countOverlaps(gr, rd) [1] 1 1 Thomas > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] parallel stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] Rsamtools_1.12.0 Biostrings_2.28.0 GenomicRanges_1.12.1 [4] IRanges_1.18.0 BiocGenerics_0.6.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] bitops_1.0-5 stats4_3.0.0 tools_3.0.0 zlibbioc_1.6.0 On Tue, Apr 09, 2013 at 03:42:03PM +0000, Valerie Obenchain wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > On 04/08/2013 05:52 PM, Thomas Girke wrote: > > Dear Valerie, > > > > Is there currently any way to run summarizeOverlaps in a feature- overlap > > unaware mode, e.g with an ignorefeatureOL=FALSE/TRUE setting?

Thanks for the example. You're right, none of the modes will count a read falling completely within >1 feature. You can supply your own function as a 'mode'. Two requirements must be met: (1) The function must have 3 arguments that correspond to 'features', 'reads' and 'ignore.strand', in that order. (2) The function must return a vector of counts the same length as 'features' Here is an example using countOverlaps() which I think gets at the counting you want. counter <- function(x, y, ignore.strand) countOverlaps(y, x, ignore.strand=ignore.strand) > assays(summarizeOverlaps(gr, rd, mode=counter))$counts [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 1 Valerie On 04/09/2013 09:37 AM, Thomas Girke wrote: > Hi Valerie, > > Perhaps let's call this more explicitly an ignore_inter_feature_overlap option > that we often need for cases like this: > > Read1 ---- > F1 ---------------- > F2 ----------- > > where we would like to have at least the option to assign Read1 to both F1 and F2: > > F1: 1 > F2: 1 > > However, summarizeOverlapse doesn't count Read1 at all in all of its currently > available modes that I am aware of.

Thanks for the tip. I guess doing it this way reverses the counting mode back to countOverlaps, but how can I use at the same time "IntersectionStrict" or any of the other modes provided by summarizeOverlaps if its mode argument is already used and countOverlaps doesn't accept one?

Ah, I see. You'd like to count with one of the existing modes but have the option to pick up counts for these inter-feature reads (fall completely 'within' >1 feature). These inter-feature reads would be double (triple, quadruple, etc.) counted. Essentially they would add one count to each feature they hit. Right? One more thought about memory usage. If you are working with single- end reads the summarizeOverlaps,BamFileList-method I mentioned below should work fine. The approach is slightly different with paired-end reads. Our current algorithm for pairing paired-end reads requires the whole file to be read into memory. A different approach is currently being developed but in the meantime you can take the qname-sorted approach. The Bam file will need to be sorted by qname and both the 'yieldSize' and 'obeyQname=TRUE' set when creating the BamFile/BamFileList. An example is on ?BamFile.

It sounds like what Thomas wants should be achievable with countOverlaps. For example, IntersectionStrict (if treating all features independently) would equate to type="within". So we just need a summarizeOverlaps- style interface to those simple utilities. I agree this would be very useful.

I think he wants both the counts from using a 'mode' and counts for the intra-feature reads. Using countOverlaps(..., type="within") would get the counts for the intra-feature reads only and then you'd need to add them to the counts from using 'mode'. The interface for using findOverlaps/countOverlaps from summarizeOverlaps() alreay exists but may not be user-friendly or intuitive enough. For example, if you wanted to count with countOverlaps(..., type="within"), where you are interested in the reads falling "within" the features, the counter would be something like, counter <- function(x, y, ignore.strand) { counts <- subjectHits(findOverlaps(y, x, type="within", ignore.strand=ignore.strand)) structure(tabulate(counts, NROW(x)), names=names(x)) } Too cryptic?

Perhaps let's discuss this with a very common example of transcript-level counting rather than counting on the unified (virtual) exonic regions of genes. With the current description provided in the summarizeOverlaps vignette at http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/vignettes/GenomicRanges /inst/doc/summarizeOverlaps.pdf I don't see how this can be achieved without falling back to using countOverlaps without loosing the new counting modes provided by summarizeOverlaps? > > One more thought about memory usage.

Perhaps it may not be a bad idea to make the memory restricted bam read instances the default setting in the future.

It can't be achieved with the function as is but we could add an argument to handle this (as you suggested from the start). If 'inter-feature=TRUE' then these counts would be added to the counts already obtained from using a particular 'mode'.

Thanks. Adding an inter-feature unaware mode will be very helpful and also broaden summarizeOverlaps' application spectrum for a lot of use cases.

I'm probably being quite dense here, and am mostly an outside observer. What I hear you saying is that there are currently three modes -- Union, IntersectionStrict, IntersectionNonEmpty. These modes are summarized in the seven rows of figure 1 of vignette("summarizeOverlaps", package="GenomicRanges") Let's say there is a flag inter_feature, and when its value is TRUE then the current counting schemes are obtained. These modes differ in the way counting works for reads illustrated in rows 5, 6, and 7 of the figure. You'd like a count scored where a '1' appears in the table below. With inter_feature=TRUE reads are 'never counted more than once' ('Hits per read' is <= 1) |----------------------+-----+-----------+-----------+---------------| | Mode | Row | Feature 1 | Feature 2 | Hits per read | |----------------------+-----+-----------+-----------+---------------| | Union | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | IntersectionStrict | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | 6 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | IntersectionNotEmpty | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | 6 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |----------------------+-----+-----------+-----------+---------------| You'd like to add 3 more modes, with inter_feature=FALSE.

Yes, when trying to switch from countOverlaps to summarizeOverlaps I was hoping the latter would provide all the functionalities of the former plus some of the new features. Achieving the desirable result with a custom function would be fine for me or other more advanced R users, but I don't think it is a substitute for predefined and ~FDA approved~ counting modes where we want to have assurance that scientist A can communicate to scientist B what counter s/he used and both get the same result while not requiring any expert knowledge in R. I feel this is particularly important for read counting since it is so fundamental to many application areas in NGS sequence analysis.

Hi Martin, Yes, inter_feature=TRUE would maintain the current counting mode(s) that prohibits counting of reads mapping to multiple features. This is a special case of counting that is very useful for counting exonic regions of genes. However, one also wants to be able to turn off this behavior by ignoring inter feature overlaps (just like ignore.strand=T/F). Otherwise we cannot use summarizeOverlaps along with its current modes for important operations like transcript level counting because many transcript variants from the same gene will mask each others reads when inter_feature=TRUE. Providing the option to output the results from both inter_feature=TRUE and inter_feature=FALSE could be a very sensible solution and time saver for users working with new genomes/GFFs, where one cannot trust every nested annotation for various reasons, and inter_feature=TRUE can quickly become a very risky counting strategy since it tends to erase counts. Every biologist will scream in your face if the counter tells them that their favorite gene has zero counts just because of some overlap with some annotation error:). For multiple range features stored in GRangesList objects, I would currently favor making "inter_feature=FALSE" ignore the overlaps occurring among different list components, but not necessarily those within a list component (e.g. exon ranges of a gene). This way one can benefit from the current infrastructure by restricting its feature overlap scope to the range sets stored within individual list components but ignoring those among different list components. Utilities like reduce and other range modifier functions could handle situations where one wants to ignore all feature overlaps within and among list components. However, I am sure there could be other solutions to this. Long story short if inter_feature=TRUE/FALSE could be used in combination with modes=Union/IntersectionStrict/IntersectionNonEmpty resulting in six different counting flavors, I would be happy and, I am sure, many other Bioc users as well. I hope this makes sense. Thomas On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 11:37:04PM +0000, Martin Morgan wrote: > On 04/10/2013 12:42 PM, Thomas Girke wrote: > > Thanks.

Maybe summarizeSpliceOverlaps could be completed to satisfy your use case? Somehow we need to control the proliferation of counting functions and modes. Having some idea of your high-level use case might help. Also, for spliced alignments, I recommend giving GSNAP a try if you haven't already. It's accessible though the gmapR package.

Hi Michael, I could not find the 'summarizeSpliceOverlaps' function in the GenomicFeatures package (1.12.0). The findSpliceOverlaps function seems to count reads more than once as well. I ran the sample code in the help page for this function and found that the single fragment was assigned to both transcripts: > genes <- GRangesList( + GRanges("chr1", IRanges(c(5, 20), c(10, 25)), "+"), + GRanges("chr1", IRanges(c(5, 22), c(15, 25)), "+")) > genes GRangesList of length 2: [[1]] GRanges with 2 ranges and 0 metadata columns: seqnames ranges strand <rle> <iranges> <rle> [1] chr1 [ 5, 10] + [2] chr1 [20, 25] + [[2]] GRanges with 2 ranges and 0 metadata columns: seqnames ranges strand [1] chr1 [ 5, 15] + [2] chr1 [22, 25] + --- seqlengths: chr1 NA > galp <- GappedAlignmentPairs( + GappedAlignments("chr1", 5L, "11M4N6M", strand("+")), + GappedAlignments("chr1", 50L, "6M", strand("-")), + isProperPair=TRUE) > galp GappedAlignmentPairs with 1 alignment pair and 0 metadata columns: seqnames strand : ranges -- ranges <rle> <rle> : <iranges> -- <iranges> [1] chr1 + : [5, 25] -- [50, 55] --- seqlengths: chr1 NA > findSpliceOverlaps(galp, genes) Hits of length 2 queryLength: 1 subjectLength: 2 queryHits subjectHits compatible unique coding strandSpecific <integer> <integer> <logical> <logical> <logical> <logical> 1 1 1 FALSE FALSE NA TRUE 2 1 2 FALSE FALSE NA TRUE > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] parallel stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] limma_3.16.1 GenomicFeatures_1.12.0 AnnotationDbi_1.22.1 Biobase_2.20.0 GenomicRanges_1.12.1 [6] IRanges_1.18.0 BiocGenerics_0.6.0 Rsubread_1.10.1 BiocInstaller_1.10.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] biomaRt_2.16.0 Biostrings_2.28.0 bitops_1.0-5 BSgenome_1.28.0 DBI_0.2-5 RCurl_1.95-4.1 [7] Rsamtools_1.12.0 RSQLite_0.11.2 rtracklayer_1.20.0 stats4_3.0.0 tools_3.0.0 XML_3.95-0.2 [13] zlibbioc_1.6.0 > Wei On Apr 11, 2013, at 11:36 PM, Michael Lawrence wrote: > On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 7:09 PM, Thomas Girke <thomas.girke at="" ucr.edu=""> wrote: > >> Hi Martin, >> >> Yes, inter_feature=TRUE would maintain the current counting mode(s) that >> prohibits counting of reads mapping to multiple features.

Hi Wei, summarizeSpliceOverlaps does not yet exist. We held off on that until we determined whether findSpliceOverlaps was useful. And yes, findSpliceOverlaps counts reads on a per-feature basis, so it will double count reads in that way. That's totally intentional (and I'm pretty sure what Thomas was wanting).

Yes, that's right, there are a few annotations on the result. Compatible means that the splices need to agree between the read and the transcript. Unique means that the read *compatibly* maps to only a single transcript. So unique is only TRUE when compatible is TRUE.

You're interested in counting 'no more than once', and the transcript does not align uniquely (or in a way that is compatible with each gene model), so yes, it seems reasonable to count 0 hits for each feature.

Hi Michael, I think each read should be counted at most once when they are being assigned to genes or transcripts because a read could not originate from two or more genes/transcripts. This is what featureCounts and htseq-count do. Cheers, Wei On Apr 12, 2013, at 11:53 PM, Michael Lawrence wrote: > Hi Wei, > > summarizeSpliceOverlaps does not yet exist.

Hi Tom, The featureCounts function in Rsubread package goes some way like what you suggested. It is different from countOverlaps in that each read is counted at most once. It is also different from summarizeOverlaps in that it assigns the read to one of the features if it overlaps with >1 features. featureCounts assigns reads to exons first and then summarize exon- level read counts to gene-level read counts. Therefore, if a read overlaps with >1 exons within the same gene it will be counted only once for the gene. featureCounts includes in-built annotations for human and mouse genomes (NCBI RefSeq annotation), but you can provide your own annotation as well. You can also use it for the general-purpose read assignment. It is not restricted to the read counting for RNA-seq data.

Dear Wei, Thanks. I guess this makes sense, but is it possible this way to perform transcript level counting in addition to exonic gene-level counting? Also, this reminds me of one question related to Rsubread for which I couldn't find an answer in the documentation (haven't had time to read your NAR paper though). Is it possible to use Rsubread for aligning directly against transcriptome sequences where we want to set no restrictions on multiple mappings of equal quality in order to obtain transcript read counts? Right I am often doing this with Bowtie2 for our own transcriptome assemblies where we don't have a reference genome and then use Rsamtools for counting the reads mapping to individual transcripts. With Rsubread I was not sure if the algorithm can return any number of alternative hits? If it can then I would love to give it a try for our transcriptome assembly projects.

But we probably should provide an option to allow multiple mapping locations to be reported for the reads. This should be pretty straightforward to do. I will let you know once we added this option (probably in a couple of days).

Hi Michael, Both findSpliceOverlaps and summarizeSpliceOverlaps look really interesting. I am looking forward using them for some of our splice variant profiling experiments.
