Hi,

Acutally, I have two question.

  1. I want to extract a GO term realted gene, and I find two solution:
> AnnotationDbi::select(org.At.tair.db, 
+                       keys = "GO:0048449", 
+                       keytype = "GO", columns = "TAIR") %>% 
+   as_tibble()
'select()' returned 1:many mapping between keys and columns

I am wondering why GOALL gives more genes ? I have seen the definition of GOALL, it says that

GOALL: GO Identifiers (includes less specific terms)

  1. The second question is that I use this two select, and it produce a very different result. I am wondering whether some one can give me some explantion. I am wondering whether the first select give me the parent of GO:0000003 and the second give me the child of GO:0000003.

The difference between 'GO' and 'GOALL' is that the former gives you all the GO terms that are directly appended to a given gene (TAIR ID), and the latter gives you the direct GO terms as well as all of their offspring. Normally those two columns are meant to do the forward mapping (TAIR ID to GO ID), primarily for doing GO hypergeometric testing. If you do the reverse it's sort of weird. For GO -> TAIR, it's probably OK - you are asking for all the TAIR IDs that are directly mapped to a given GO. But if you do GOALL -> TAIR, you are asking for the TAIR IDs that map to a given GO ID and all of that GO ID's offspring. Which might be what you want as well.

Your last two select calls are problematic though, because you are mapping GO IDs through the intervening TAIR IDs, which seems to do weird things. I should also point out that I get completely different results than you do, which probably indicates you are using old R/Bioconductor versions. When posting questions you should always remember to include the output from running sessionInfo() so we know what you are using.

Anyway, GO:0000003 is 'reproduction', and is a child of 'biological process', so the only parent term will be 'biological process'. We can query the GO.db package directly to show that (or go to the AmiGO site, but that's boring - let's have fun!).

> library(GO.db)
> con <- GO_dbconn()
> dbListTables(con)
 [1] "go_bp_offspring" "go_bp_parents"   "go_cc_offspring" "go_cc_parents"  
 [5] "go_mf_offspring" "go_mf_parents"   "go_obsolete"     "go_ontology"    
 [9] "go_synonym"      "go_term"         "map_counts"      "map_metadata"   
[13] "metadata"        "sqlite_stat1"   

## we need the _id for GO:0000003

> dbGetQuery(con, "select _id, go_id from go_term where go_id='GO:0000003';")
  _id      go_id         
1   4 GO:0000003 

> dbGetQuery(con, "select go_id, term from go_term where _id in (select _parent_id from go_bp_parents where go_bp_parents._id='4');")
       go_id               term
1 GO:0008150 biological_process

So there is only one parent term for 'reproduction'. And all the offspring can be accessed directly as well.

> z <- dbGetQuery(con, "select go_id, term from go_term where _id in (select _offspring_id from go_bp_offspring where go_bp_offspring._id='4');")

## and your query that 'might' get the offspring

firstcall <- select(org.At.tair.db, "GO:0000003", "GOALL","GO")

> head(z)
       go_id                                                    term
1 GO:0000212                            meiotic spindle organization
2 GO:0000321 re-entry into mitotic cell cycle after pheromone arrest
3 GO:0000705                                    achiasmate meiosis I
4 GO:0000706              meiotic DNA double-strand break processing
5 GO:0000707                        meiotic DNA recombinase assembly
6 GO:0000708                                 meiotic strand invasion
> dim(firstcall)
[1] 814   6
> dim(z)
[1] 1276    2

## what's the overlap?

> sum(z[,1] %in% firstcall$GOALL)
[1] 22

So it looks like doing the GO -> GOALL mapping with the org.At.tair.db package is probably not doing what you want to do.

Thanks for yor reply, James.

But I am confused about this sentence:

The difference between 'GO' and 'GOALL' is that the former gives you all the GO terms that are directly appended to a given gene (TAIR ID), and the latter gives you the direct GO terms as well as all of their offspring.

In my opinion, it should be the Ancestors instead of offspring. After all, the definition is GOALL: GO Identifiers (includes less specific terms).

And I also find a weird thing about GOALL in select. According to the definition, the GOALL includes less specific terms, so I believe it should the include direct GO and its ancestors GO. But I find select function will drop those GO without ancestors . Here is my three result to confirm this things. All I want to find is the related GO(direct and ancestors) of AT2G17950.

First, I will the use GOBPANCESTOR in GO.db, according to its definition:

This data set describes associations between GO Biological Process (BP) terms and their ancestor BP terms, based on the directed acyclic graph (DAG) defined by the Gene Ontology Consortium. The format is an R object mapping the GO BP terms to all ancestor terms, where an ancestor term is a more general GO term that precedes the given GO term in the DAG (in other words, the parents, and all their parents, etc.).

# First I use use TAIR ID -> GO ID to get direct GO
library(GO.db)
library(dplyr)
library(org.At.tair.db)

AnnotationDbi::select(org.At.tair.db, 
                      keys = "AT2G17950",
                      keytype = "TAIR", columns = "GO") %>%
  distinct(GO, .keep_all = TRUE) %>% 
  select(2,1) -> data

> data
           GO      TAIR
1  GO:0000976 AT2G17950
2  GO:0003700 AT2G17950
3  GO:0005515 AT2G17950
4  GO:0005634 AT2G17950
5  GO:0006355 AT2G17950
6  GO:0010492 AT2G17950
7  GO:0019827 AT2G17950
8  GO:0045471 AT2G17950
9  GO:0048653 AT2G17950
10 GO:0080166 AT2G17950
11 GO:0090506 AT2G17950
> nrow(data)
[1] 11

# Then I use GOBPANCESTOR to get ancestors BP
ans <- unlist(mget(data$GO, GOBPANCESTOR, ifnotfound=NA))
ans <- ans[ !is.na(ans) ]
ans <- ans[ans != "all"]
# merge direct and ancestors GO
ans <- c(ans, data$GO)
ans <- unique(ans)

> length(ans)
[1] 100

Second I use GOALL in select to get AT2G17950 all realted GO

# It still be TAIR ID -> GO
AnnotationDbi::select(org.At.tair.db, 
                      keys = "AT2G17950",
                      keytype = "TAIR", 
                      columns = "GOALL") %>% 
  filter(ONTOLOGYALL == "BP") %>% 
  distinct(GOALL, .keep_all = TRUE) %>% 
  as_tibble(.) -> ans_other

> nrow(ans_other)
[1] 96

Third, I will use GOALL -> TAIR ID

# First I will extract all GO term
goterms <- AnnotationDbi::Ontology(GO.db::GOTERM)
goterms <- goterms[goterms == "BP"]

# Then I use mapIds to extract related gene
goterms <- AnnotationDbi::Ontology(GO.db::GOTERM)
goterms <- goterms[goterms == "BP"]
go2gene <- suppressMessages(
  AnnotationDbi::mapIds(org.At.tair.db,
                        keys=names(goterms),
                        column="TAIR",
                        keytype="GOALL", multiVals='list')
)
goAnno <- stack(go2gene)
colnames(goAnno) <- c("TAIR", "GOALL")
goAnno <- unique(goAnno[!is.na(goAnno[,1]), ])

> nrow(subset(goAnno, TAIR == "AT2G17950"))
[1] 96

As you can see the second and third methods result are same:

# Third and Second
> intersect(subset(goAnno, TAIR == "AT2G17950")$GOALL,
+           ans_other$GOALL) %>% 
+   length()
[1] 96

But the number of First is 4 more than second or third

> sum(ans_other$GOALL %in% ans)
[1] 96
> ans[!ans %in% ans_other$GOALL]
[1] "GO:0000976" "GO:0003700" "GO:0005515" "GO:0005634"

And you can find these 4 GO do not have ancestors. But this 4 GO is the direct GO of AT2G17950

> mget(ans[!ans %in% ans_other$GOALL], GOBPANCESTOR, ifnotfound = NA)
$`GO:0000976`
[1] NA

$`GO:0003700`
[1] NA

$`GO:0005515`
[1] NA

$`GO:0005634`
[1] NA

# the data is the origin direct GO in the first method
> ans[!ans %in% ans_other$GOALL] %in% data$GO
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

By the way, I am sorry I do not post the session info. In this reply, I convert my Biocondutcot version into 3.13. Here is the sessionInfo

You are right - I mis-spoke (mis-wrote?) about GOALL. I get confused because in my mind the directionality of the GO DAG and GOALL are switched, which seems weird. But when you do a hypergeometric test, you need to know all the GO terms that a given TAIR ID maps to, and that's the direct GO term and all of its ancestors.

Anyway, I think the problem with your code (I don't speak tidyverse, so I didn't really look that closely) is that you filter the ancestors on BP. I believe that your main point is that GOALL is missing some direct GO mappings, which is not true, at least for this TAIR ID:

> z <- select(org.At.tair.db, "AT2G17950", "GO")
'select()' returned 1:many mapping between keys and columns
> zall <- select(org.At.tair.db, "AT2G17950", "GOALL")
'select()' returned 1:many mapping between keys and columns
> all(z$GO %in% zall$GOALL)
[1] TRUE

## and the four you list
> miss <- c("GO:0000976", "GO:0003700", "GO:0005515", "GO:0005634")
> miss %in% z$GO
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
> miss %in% zall$GOALL
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE

Which indicates that all the direct GO terms are in GOALL as well. But if you filter on BP, you run into problems because the direct terms aren't all BP (like the four you say are missing).

Whereas the direct GO terms are all the ontologies
