Package
cliProfiler 1.2.0
1 Introduction
Cross-linking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) is a technique that combines UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation to analyse protein-RNA interactions or to pinpoint RNA modifications (e.g. m6A). CLIP-based methods, such as iCLIP and eCLIP, allow precise mapping of RNA modification sites or RNA-binding protein (RBP) binding sites on a genome-wide scale. These techniques help us to unravel post-transcriptional regulatory networks. In order to make the visualization of CLIP data easier, we develop cliProfiler package. The cliProfiler includes seven functions which allow users easily make different profile plots.
The cliProfiler package is available at
https://bioconductor.org and can be
installed via BiocManager::install:
if (!require("BiocManager"))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("cliProfiler")A package only needs to be installed once. Load the package into an R session with
library(cliProfiler)2 The Requirement of Data and Annotation file
The input data for using all the functions in cliProfiler should
be the peak calling result or other similar object that represents the RBP
binding sites or RNA modification position. Moreover, these peaks/signals be
stored in the GRanges object. The GRanges is an S4 class which defined
by GenomicRanges. The GRanges class is a container for the
genomic locations and their associated annotations. For more information about
GRanges objects please check GenomicRanges package. An example
of GRanges object is shown below:
testpath <- system.file("extdata", package = "cliProfiler")
## loading the test GRanges object
test <- readRDS(file.path(testpath, "test.rds"))

## seqinfo: 19 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsThe function windowProfile allows users to find out the enrichment of peaks
against the customized annotation file. This customized annotation file should
be stored in the GRanges object.
3 metaGeneProfile
metaGeneProfile() outputs a meta profile, which shows the location of binding
sites or modification sites ( peaks/signals) along transcript regions
(5’UTR, CDS and 3’UTR). The input of this function should be a GRanges
object.
Besides the GRanges object, a path to the gff3 annotation file which
download from Gencode is required by
metaGeneProfile.
The output of metaGeneProfile is a List objects. The List one contains
the GRanges objects with the calculation result which can be used in different
ways later.
meta <- metaGeneProfile(object = test, annotation = test_gff3)

## seqinfo: 22 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsHere is an explanation of the metaData columns of the output GRanges objects:
- center The center position of each peaks. This center position is used
for calculating the position of peaks within the assigned genomic regions.
- location The genomic region to which this
peak/signalbelongs to.
- Gene ID The gene to which this
peak/signalbelongs. - Position The relative position of each
peak/signalwithin the genomic region. This value close to 0 means this peak located close to the 5’ end of the genomic feature. The position value close to 1 means the peak close to the 3’ end of the genomic feature. Value 5 means this peaks can not be mapped to any annotation.
The List two is the meta plot which in the ggplot class. The user can use
all the functions from ggplot2 to change the detail of this plot.
library(ggplot2)
## For example if user want to have a new name for the plot
meta[[2]] + ggtitle("Meta Profile 2")
For the advance usage, the metaGeneProfile provides two methods to calculate
the relative position. The first method return a relative position of the
peaks/signals in the genomic feature without the introns. The second method
return a relative position value of the peak in the genomic feature with the
introns. With the parameter include_intron we can easily shift between these
two methods. If the data is a polyA plus data, we will recommend you to set
include_intron = FALSE.
meta <- metaGeneProfile(object = test, annotation = test_gff3,
include_intron = TRUE)
meta[[2]]
The group option allows user to make a meta plot with multiple conditions.
Here is an example:
test$Treat <- c(rep("Treatment 1",50), rep("Treatment 2", 50))
meta <- metaGeneProfile(object = test, annotation = test_gff3,
group = "Treat")
meta[[2]]
Besides, we provide an annotation filtering option for making the meta plot.
The exlevel and extranscript_support_level could be used for specifying
which level or transcript support level should be excluded. For excluding
the transcript support level NA, user can use 6 instead of NA. About more
information of level and transcript support level you can check the
Gencode data format.
metaGeneProfile(object = test, annotation = test_gff3, exlevel = 3,
extranscript_support_level = c(4,5,6))The split option could help to make the meta profile for the peaks/signals
in 5’UTR, CDS and 3’UTR separately. The grey dotted line represents the peaks’s
distribution across all region.
meta <- metaGeneProfile(object = test, annotation = test_gff3, split = TRUE)
meta[[2]]
4 intronProfile
The function intronProfile generates the profile of peaks/signals in the
intronic region. Here is an example for a quick use of intronProfile.
intron <- intronProfile(test, test_gff3)Similar to metaGeneProfile, the output of intronProfile is a List object
which contains two Lists. List one is the input GRanges objects with the
calculation result.

## seqinfo: 22 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsThe explanation of meta data in the output of intronProfile list one is
pasted down below:
- center The center position of each peaks. This center position is used
for calculating the position of peaks within the genomic regions.
- Intron_S and Intron_E The start and end coordinates of the intron to which the peak is assigned.
- Intron_length The length of the intron to which the peak is assigned.
- Intron_transcript_id The transcript ID for the intron.
- Intron_map The relative position of each peak within the assigned intron. This value close to 0 means this peak located close to the 5’ SS. The position value close to one means the peak close to the 3’ SS. Value 3 means this peaks can not map to any intron.
The List two includes a ggplot object.
intron[[2]]
Similar to metaGeneProfile, in intronProfile, we provide options , such as
group, exlevel and extranscript_support_level. The group function could
be used to generate the comparison plot.
intron <- intronProfile(test, test_gff3, group = "Treat")
intron[[2]]
The parameter exlevel and extranscript_support_level could be used for
specifying which level or transcript support level should be excluded.
For excluding the transcript support level NA, you can use 6. About more
information of level and transcript support level you can check the
Gencode data format.

## seqinfo: 22 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsHere is the explanation of the meta data column that output from
exonProfile:
- center The center position of each peaks. This center position is used
for calculating the position of peaks within the genomic regions.
- exon_S and exon_E The start and end coordinates of the exon to which the peak is assigned.
- exon_length The length of the exon to which the peak is assigned.
- exon_transcript_id The transcript ID for the assigned exon.
- exon_map The relative position of each peak within the assigned exon. This value close to 0 means this peak located close to the 3’ SS. The position value close to one means the peak close to the 5’ SS. Value 3 means this peaks can not be assigned to any annotation.
The List two is a ggplot object which contains the exon profile.
exon[[2]]
The usage of all parameters of exonProfile is similar to intronProfile. For
more detail of parameter usage please check the intronProfile section.
6 windowProfile
Since the metaGeneProfile, intronProfile and exonProfile require a
annotation file in gff3 format and downloaded from
https://www.gencodegenes.org/. These functions
could only be used for human and mouse. For the user who works on other
species or has a customized annotation file (not in gff3 format), we develop
the function windowProfile.
windowProfile requires GRanges object as input and annotation. And
windowProfile output the relative position of each peak within the given
annotation GRanges. For example, if user would like to make a profile against
all the exons with windowProfile, you just need to first extract all the
exonic region as a GRanges object then run the windowProfile. Here is an
example about using windowProfile to generate the profile.
library(rtracklayer)
## Extract all the exon annotation
test_anno <- rtracklayer::import.gff3(test_gff3)
test_anno <- test_anno[test_anno$type == "exon"]
## Run the windowProfile
window_profile <- windowProfile(test, test_anno)The output of windowProfile is a List objects. In the List one, you will
find the GRanges object of input peaks and calculation result. And the List
two contains the ggplot of windowProfile.

7 motifProfile
motifProfile generates the motif enrichment profile around the center of the
input peaks. The IUPAC code
could be used for the motif parameter. The IUPAC code includes: A, T, C, G,
R, Y, S, W, K, M, B, D, H, V, N. The parameter flanking represents to the
size of window that user would like to check around the center of peaks. The
parameter fraction could be used to change the y-axis from frequency to
fraction.
For using the motifProtile, the BSgenome with the sequence information of
the species that you are working with is required.
## Example for running the motifProfile
## The working species is mouse with mm10 annotation.
## Therefore the package 'BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10' need to be installed in
## advance.
motif <- motifProfile(test, motif = "DRACH",
genome = "BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10",
fraction = TRUE, title = "Motif Profile",
flanking = 10)##
## Attaching package: 'Biostrings'## The following object is masked from 'package:base':
##
## strsplitThe output of motifProfile is a List object. List 1 contains the
data.frame of the motif enrichment information for each position around the
center of the input peaks/signals. List 2 is the ggplot object of the
plot of motif enrichment.

8 geneTypeProfile
The geneTypeProfile could give users the information of the gene type of the
input peaks. The input peaks for geneTypeProfile should be stored in the
GRanges objects. The annotation file should be a gff3 file and downloaded
from https://www.gencodegenes.org/.
