What is this page for?
This page has code for session 2 of BPI stats workshop. These exercises will only work if you have completed the pre-session items described here correctly. Go to the Session 1 instructions before these exercises.
Data
We will use our published E. cloacae RNAseq data, which can be downloaded from the journal mBio (Choi & Bennison et al, 2024, mBio 0:e01699-24) to perform data wrangling with base R and tidyverse. Get the differential gene expression (DGE) data from supplementary info. Or download the file locally from here. Import this file with read_excel and save as DGEmBio.
Get genome annotation data for speciality genes in E. cloacae ATCC 13047 from BVBRC (Bacterial & Viral Bioinformatics Resource Centre) or locally from here. Import this file with read_excel and save as BVBRC.
We will also use the data table that we used in Session 1, which is in wide format.
Ordering (sorting) rows
This is useful when ordering variables in ascending or descending order alphabetically or numerically.
#by increasing logFC
DGEmBio <- DGEmBio[order(-DGEmBio$logFC),]Merging tables
The BVBRC table has additional description of gene function in “speciality categories”. This is stored in the columen “Property”. We want to bring this information for the genes that are differentially expressed in our RNAseq. This is called merging or joining tables.
We want to bring in the column Property from the table BVBRC into the table DGEmBio by matching the gene names. This info is in the columns RefSeq Locus Tag and gene_id in the tables BVBRC and DGEmBio, respectively.
# join with gene name
mBioMerge <- merge(x = DGEmBio,
y = BVBRC[c(2,6)],
by.x = "gene_id",
by.y = "RefSeq Locus Tag",
all.x = TRUE)
library(dplyr)
Attaching package: 'dplyr'The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':

intersect, setdiff, setequal, unionmBioJoin <- left_join(x = DGEmBio,
y = BVBRC[c(2,6)],
by = c("gene_id" = "RefSeq Locus Tag"))Create new columns based on conditions
To be able to map additional information on DGEs in a volcano plot, we would like create a variable called Expression, which has high, low or medium when logFC gene expression is >= 4, <= -4 or between this range, respectively.
#create Expression with "high" and "low"
mBioMerge$Expression[mBioMerge$logFC >= 4] <- "high"
mBioMerge$Expression[mBioMerge$logFC <= -4] <- "low"
mBioMerge$Expression[mBioMerge$logFC > -4 &
mBioMerge$logFC < 4] <- "medium"
#alternative is transform()
mBioJoin <- transform(mBioJoin,
Expression = ifelse(mBioJoin$logFC >= 4, "high",
ifelse(mBioJoin$logFC <= -4, "low",
ifelse((mBioJoin$logFC < 4 &
mBioJoin$logFC > -4), "medium", ""))))Table summaries with group_by and aggregate
This is how we can get mean and SD (or any other summary) for grouped data. We use the data_2w_festing table for this.
library(grafify)Loading required package: ggplot2#tidyverse way with group_by and chaining
data_2w_Festing %>% #this is a pipe
group_by(Strain, Treatment) %>% #grouping by levels
summarise(M = mean(GST), #desired calculations
SD = sd(GST))`summarise()` has grouped output by 'Strain'. You can override using the
`.groups` argument.# A tibble: 8 × 4

In R, data for graphing and statistical analyses have to be in long format. The long and wide formats are inter-convertible with tidyr package. There is a base R function (reshape), but in this case I prefer the tidyr versions, which have a more intuitive syntax.
Long table to wide

Volcano plot
Here’s a way to make a volcano plot using the processed data frame (mBioMerge) from above. This is quite conveniently done with plot_xy_catgroup from grafify.
#volcano plot
plot_xy_CatGroup(mBioMerge,
logFC,
-log10(adj.P.Val),
Expression,
fontsize = 16)+
labs(title = "Volcano plot")
plot_xy_CatGroup(mBioMerge,
logFC,
-log10(adj.P.Val),
Property,
ColPal = "vibrant",
fontsize = 16)+
labs(title = "Volcano plot")
plot_xy_NumGroup(mBioMerge,
start,
logFC,
logFC,
ColPal = "Pr")+
coord_polar()+ #makes a circular X axis
labs(title = "Genome-wide DGEs",
x = "Gene start position")+
theme_minimal(base_size = 14)Warning: `coord_polar()` cannot render guide for the aesthetic: x.
Plotting with ggplot2
One of the advantages of ggplot2 is the ability to easily add additional variables to a graph by mapping them to colour, shape, size of symbols etc.
We are going to do more data wrangling to create an additional variable DNAend for plotting the DGE data across the whole genome of E. cloacae. The values are the contig lengths for ATCC 13047 strain as annotated by BVBRC.
mBioMerge$DNAEnd[mBioMerge$seqid == "Chromosome"] <- 5314581
mBioMerge$DNAEnd[mBioMerge$seqid == "pECL_A"] <- 199562
mBioMerge$DNAEnd[mBioMerge$seqid == "pECL_B"] <- 84653
#adding multiple variables
ggplot(mBioMerge,
aes(x = start,
y = logFC))+
geom_rect(aes(xmin = 0, xmax = DNAEnd,
ymin = -0.5, ymax = 0.5),
fill = "grey95")+
geom_point(aes(fill = logFC),
size = 2,
shape = 22)+
scale_fill_grafify(palette = "PrGn_div")+
coord_polar()+
labs(title = "Genome-wide DGEs",
x = "Gene start position")+
facet_wrap(~seqid,
scales = "free_x")+
theme_minimal(base_size = 10)
#colour by Property
ggplot(mBioMerge,
aes(x = start,
y = logFC))+
geom_point(aes(fill = Property),
shape = 21,
size = 4)+
scale_fill_grafify(palette = "bright")+
coord_polar()+

theme_minimal(base_size = 14)
#size based on LogFC

ggplot(mBioMerge,
aes(x = start,
y = logFC))+
geom_point(aes(size = logFC,
fill = logFC,
shape = Expression))+
scale_fill_grafify(palette = "PrGn_div")+
