gggenomes (version 1.0.1)

focus: Show features and regions of interest

Description

Show loci containing features of interest. Loci can either be provided as predefined regions directly (loci=), or are constructed automatically based on pre-selected features (via ...). Features within max_dist are greedily combined into the same locus. locate() adds these loci as new track so that they can be easily visualized. focus() extracts those loci from their parent sequences making them the new sequence set. These sequences will have their locus_id as their new seq_id.

Usage

focus(
  x,
  ...,
  .track_id = 2,
  .max_dist = 10000,
  .expand = 5000,
  .overhang = c("drop", "trim", "keep"),
  .locus_id = str_glue("{seq_id}_lc{row_number()}"),
  .locus_id_group = seq_id,
  .locus_bin = c("bin", "seq", "locus"),
  .locus_score = n(),
  .locus_filter = TRUE,
  .loci = NULL
)
locate(
  x,
  ...,
  .track_id = 2,
  .max_dist = 10000,
  .expand = 5000,
  .locus_id = str_glue("{seq_id}_lc{row_number()}"),
  .locus_id_group = .data$seq_id,
  .locus_bin = c("bin", "seq", "locus"),
  .locus_score = n(),
  .locus_filter = TRUE,
  .locus_track = "loci"
)

Value

A gggenomes object focused on the desired loci

A gggenomes object with the new loci track added

Arguments

x

A gggenomes object

...

Logical predicates defined in terms of the variables in the track given by .track_id. Multiple conditions are combined with ‘&’. Only rows where the condition evaluates to ‘TRUE’ are kept.

The arguments in ‘...’ are automatically quoted and evaluated in the context of the data frame. They support unquoting and splicing. See ‘vignette("programming")’ for an introduction to these concepts.

.track_id

the track to filter from - defaults to first feature track, usually "genes". Can be a quoted or unquoted string or a positional argument giving the index of a track among all tracks (seqs, feats & links).

.max_dist

Maximum distance between adjacent features to be included into the same locus, default 10kb.

.expand

The amount to nucleotides to expand the focus around the target features. Default 2kb. Give two values for different up- and downstream expansions.

.overhang

How to handle features overlapping the locus boundaries (including expand). Options are to "keep" them, "trim" them exactly at the boundaries, or "drop" all features not fully included within the boundaries.

.locus_id, .locus_id_group

How to generate the ids for the new loci which will eventually become their new seq_ids.

.locus_bin

What bin to assign new locus to. Defaults to keeping the original binning, but can be set to the "seq" to bin all loci originating from the same parent sequence, or to "locus" to separate all loci into individual bins.

.locus_score

An expression evaluated in the context of all features that are combined into a new locus. Results are stored in the column locus_score. Defaults to the n(), i.e. the number of features per locus. Set, for example, to sum(bitscore) to sum over all blast hit bitscore of per locus. Usually used in conjunction with .locus_filter.

.locus_filter

An predicate expression used to post-filter identified loci. Set .locus_filter=locus_score >= 3 to only return loci comprising at least 3 target features.

.loci

A data.frame specifying loci directly. Required columns are seq_id,start,end. Supersedes ....

.locus_track

The name of the new track containing the identified loci.

Functions

• focus(): Identify regions of interest and zoom in on them

• locate(): Identify regions of interest and add them as new feature track
