Dear all:

I'm recently dealing with a set of MeDIP-seq data with MEDIPS but got an error with "MEDIPS.creatSet". Could anyone with experience help me? Thank you.

My raw paired end reads were mapped to UCSC_mm10 reference genome with BWA. Then I dealt with the data with following codes:

library(MEDIPS)
library(BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10)

BSgenome="BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10"

chr.select=c(“chr1”,"chr2","chr3","chr4","chr5","chr6","chr7","chr8","chr9","chr10","chr11","chr12","chr13","chr14","chr15","chr16","chr17","chr18","chr19","chrX","chrY")
extend=0
shift=0
ws=300
uniq=1

ME_Input_2 = MEDIPS.createSet(file = "/home/aligned_bam/LSK-ME-I_sorted.bam", BSgenome = BSgenome, extend = extend, shift = shift, uniq = uniq, window_size = ws, chr.select = chr.select, paired=T, bwa=T)

But I got the following output and errors:

Warning: processing of bwa alignment files for paired-end sequencing data is still under development.

based on the error message 'long vectors not supported yet: memory.c:3361’, my best guess is that MEDIPS requires more memory than available. How much memory does your machine have? Migrating to another server with more memory might help, if available. Alternatively, in case your bam file 'LSK-ME-I_sorted.bam’ is a merged bam file, you could try importing the individual bam files separately and merge the MEDIPS SETs within MEDIPS using the MEDIPS.mergeSets() function. All the best, Lukas

Dear Lukas,

Thanks very much for your reply. I used 120gb memory to run MEDIPS and actually this is the maximum memory available to me. 

Also thanks for your suggestions. However, this is not a merged BAM file. But if memory is the problem caused the error, could I creatSet chromosome by chromosome and merge them together?

 

Best,

Yiming

It is not memory per se, but R has decided at some point that the data needs to be represented by a vector longer than 2^31-1 elements. Apparently, findOverlaps() does not support vectors this long. If data of this size is somehow expected, then some kind of chunk-based processing would be appropriate.

Thanks Martin! Would you share some suggestions on chunk-based processing then? -- Best, Vanilla

Thanks for clarifying! Another option in MEDIPS is to process the data chromosome by chromosome or in chunks of chromosomes by using the chr.select parameter. In this case, however, MEDIPS.mergeSets() does not work. Instead, analysis of each chunk of chromosomes can be performed individually using the MEDIPS.meth() function and the resulting tables can be concatenated afterwards.

Thanks Lukas! I will try out your advice, analyze each chunk of chromosomes and concatenate resulting tables.

Hi Vanilla,

You're mixing up Bioconductor versions: your version of MEDIPS belongs to BioC 3.2 (the current BioC release), but your versions of GenomicRanges, IRanges, and many other packages, belong to BioC 3.0, which is not supported anymore. So it seems that you installed the latest MEDIPS "by hand" (i.e. without using biocLite()) on top of your BioC 3.0 installation. Furthermore, BioC 3.0 requires R 3.1 but you managed to install it on top of R 3.2 so you also have a mismatch between your version of BioC and your version of R. You absolutely want to fix these things before you proceed any further. Unless you have a good reason to stick to BioC 3.0, I would highly recommend that you install BioC 3.2.

MEDIPS.createSet() calls countOverlaps(), not findOverlaps(). The fact that the error message you got mentions findOverlaps() is because in the past countOverlaps() was always calling findOverlaps(). However, among many other things, findOverlaps() and friends (countOverlaps(), etc...) have been completely refactored between BioC 3.0 and BioC 3.2. In particular the "countOverlaps" method for GRanges objects (used in MEDIPS.createSet()) doesn't call findOverlaps() anymore so it could be (if you're lucky) that the issue your reported just vanishes by upgrading. If it doesn't, please report again but only after you've upgraded to the current BioC release (BioC 3.2) as we don't support older versions. 

Thanks,

H.

Hi Herve,

Thanks for pointing out this problem. Actually I'm also concerned about the version issues as I have marked them as bold in my question. The problem is I failed updating BioC3.2 with the following code:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("BiocUpgrade")

As it returned an error

Error: Bioconductor version 3.0 cannot be upgraded with R version 3.1.0

So I installed MEDIPS1.20.0 manually.  

I'm afraid there're several versions of R installed in my server. I also noticed that the versions of R used are different when I directly typed in "Rscript" or submitted a job to run "Rscript". After that I have export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH to my ".profile". However, I still failed updating BioC. Do you have any idea to solve the problem? Thanks!

Best,

Vanilla

I see. First of all, make sure that you start the correct version of R (i.e. R 3.2). Then, from this version of R try to remove the BiocInstaller package with:

> R.version.string
[1] "R version 3.2.1 Patched (2015-07-21 r68718)"   # you want 3.2.* here
> remove.packages("BiocInstaller")

Then:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

The first command (source(".../biocLite.R")) will re-install the correct version of the BiocInstaller package (it looks like you might have the wrong version). The second command (biocLite(), with no arguments) will update all your packages. Doing biocLite("BiocUpgrade") should not be needed because that forces an upgrade of the BiocInstaller package itself. However source(".../biocLite.R") should already have installed the version of BiocInstaller that matches BioC 3.2 (should be BiocInstaller 1.20.0).

Let us know how this goes,

H.

Hi Herve,

It seems doesn't work... :( I followed your codes and got the following:

> R.version.string
[1] "R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14)"
> remove.packages("BiocInstaller")
Removing package from ‘/nfs/home/package/software/R/lib’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
> source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.5), ?biocLite for help
BiocInstaller version 3.0 is too old for R version 3.2.2;
  remove.packages("BiocInstaller") then
  source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
A new version of Bioconductor is available after installing the most recent
  version of R; see http://bioconductor.org/install

> biocLite()
BioC_mirror: http://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.5), R version 3.2.2.

And actually 'lib = "/usr/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable, I used a personal library instead. But the BioC is not updated properly right? Thanks a lot.

mmm, seems like you have more than one instance of BiocInstaller installed.

Can you please start R again, then do:

paths <- file.path(.libPaths(), "BiocInstaller")
unlink(paths, recursive=TRUE, force=TRUE)

then show us the output of:

file.exists(paths)  # should display one or more FALSEs, no TRUEs

If the above command gave you a TRUE, then do:

paths[file.exists(paths)]

That will show you the path of the BiocInstaller instance that could not be removed. Let's call this path /path/to/BiocInstaller

To remove it, open a terminal on your Ubuntu machine and, at the command line, do:

sudo rm -rf /path/to/BiocInstaller   # replace with your real path

You'll be asked to enter your password. This won't work if you don't have sudo rights on your machine. In that case, you'll need to ask an admin to do this for you.

Once you got rid of /path/to/BiocInstaller, start R again and do

paths <- file.path(.libPaths(), "BiocInstaller")
file.exists(paths)

again. You should see one or more FALSEs only, but no more TRUEs.

Then proceed with

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

Let us know how this goes.

H.

Hi Herve,

Thanks so much for the detailed solutions for my problem. I tried file.exists(paths) and it gave an TRUE. Unfortunately I don't have the right to remove it so I wrote to the admin to update it. Would let you know when it's fixed. :)

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help and I finally solved my problems. I tried to solve in two ways:

1. In case it runs over RAM I performed MEDIPS.createSet() chromosome by chromosome. It worked smoothly. However, when calling differentially methylated regions with MEDIPS.meth(), I got the error for some chromosomes:

Error in MEDIPS.calibrationCurve(MSet = MSet2[[i]], CSet = CSet, input = F) : 
  The dependency of coverage signals on sequence pattern (e.g. CpG) densities is different than expected. No linear model can be build, please check the calibration plot by providing the MSet object at ISet.
Calls: MEDIPS.meth -> MEDIPS.calibrationCurve
Execution halted

I thought the error came because there was something wrong with CpG density dependent normalization of MeDIP-seq data. One solution is to skip this normalization and perform MEDIPS.meth() directly. As I have successfully normalized the data for other chromosomes, I put aside this way for a while.

2. With suggestions from Herve, I tried to re-install BioConductor3.2 into a personal library, though with some little troubles but solved with the help of admin. With matched version of R, BioConductor and MEDIPS, I can MEDIPS smoothly and don't even need to MEDIPS.createSet() chromosome by chromosome.

Thanks again for all warm-hearted help. Hope this can also help others.

Best,

Vanilla
