1 Ranges revisited
In Bioconductor there are two classes, IRanges and GRanges,
that are standard data structures for representing genomics data.
Throughout this document I refer to either of these classes as Ranges if an
operation can be performed on either class, otherwise I explicitly mention if
a function is appropriate for an IRanges or GRanges.
Ranges objects can either represent sets of integers as IRanges
(which have start, end and width attributes)
or represent genomic intervals (which have additional attributes, sequence name,
and strand) as GRanges. In addition, both types of Ranges can store information
about their intervals as metadata columns (for example GC content
over a genomic interval).
Ranges objects follow the tidy data principle: each row
of a Ranges object corresponds to an interval, while each column will represent
a variable about that interval, and generally each object will represent a
single unit of observation (like gene annotations).
Consequently, Ranges objects provide a powerful representation for reasoning
about genomic data. In this vignette, you will learn more about Ranges objects
and how via grouping, restriction and summarisation you can perform common data
tasks.
2 Constructing Ranges
To construct an IRanges we require that there are at least two columns that represent at either a
starting coordinate, finishing coordinate or the width of the interval.
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(plyranges))
set.seed(100)
df <- data.frame(start=c(2:-1, 13:15),
width=c(0:3, 2:0))
# produces IRanges
rng <- df %>% as_iranges()
rng## IRanges object with 7 ranges and 0 metadata columns:
## start end width

## [1] 2 1 0
## [2] 1 1 1

## [4] -1 1 3
## [5] 13 14 2
## [6] 14 14 1
## [7] 15 14 0To construct a GRanges we require a column that represents that sequence name (
contig or chromosome id), and an optional column to represent the strandedness
of an interval.
# seqname is required for GRanges, metadata is automatically kept
grng <- df %>%
transform(seqnames = sample(c("chr1", "chr2"), 7, replace = TRUE),
strand = sample(c("+", "-"), 7, replace = TRUE),
gc = runif(7)) %>%
as_granges()

Sometimes you want to modify a genomic interval by altering the width of the
interval while leaving the start, end or midpoint of the coordinates unaltered.
This is achieved with the mutate verb along with anchor_* adverbs.
The act of anchoring fixes either the start, end, center coordinates of the
Range object, as shown in the figure and code below and anchors are used in
combination with either mutate or stretch.
rng <- as_iranges(data.frame(start=c(1, 2, 3), end=c(5, 2, 8)))
grng <- as_granges(data.frame(start=c(1, 2, 3), end=c(5, 2, 8),
seqnames = "seq1",
strand = c("+", "*", "-")))

Without anchoring, this function will extend the interval in either direction
by an integer amount. With anchoring, either the start, end or midpoint are
preserved.

plyranges introduces a new class of Ranges called RangesGrouped,
this is a similar idea to the grouped data.frame\tibble in dplyr.
Grouping can act on either the core components or the metadata columns of
a Ranges object.
It is most effective when combined with other verbs such as mutate(),
summarise(), filter(), reduce_ranges() or disjoin_ranges().
grng <- data.frame(seqnames = sample(c("chr1", "chr2"), 7, replace = TRUE),
strand = sample(c("+", "-"), 7, replace = TRUE),
gc = runif(7),
start = 1:7,
width = 10) %>%
as_granges()
grng_by_strand <- grng %>%
group_by(strand)

## -------
## seqinfo: 2 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths5 Restricting Ranges
The verb filter can be used to restrict rows in the Ranges.
Note that grouping will cause the filter to act within each group
of the data.

## -------
## seqinfo: 2 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsWe also provide the convenience methods filter_by_overlaps and
filter_by_non_overlaps for restricting by any overlapping Ranges.
ir0 <- data.frame(start = c(5,10, 15,20), width = 5) %>%

The summarise function will return a DataFrame because the information required
to return a Ranges object is lost. It is often most useful to use summarise()
in combination with the group_by() family of functions.
ir1 <- ir1 %>%
mutate(gc = runif(length(.)))
ir0 %>%
group_by_overlaps(ir1) %>%
summarise(gc = mean(gc))## DataFrame with 2 rows and 2 columns

A join acts on two GRanges objects, a query and a subject.
query <- data.frame(seqnames = "chr1",
strand = c("+", "-"),
start = c(1, 9),
end = c(7, 10),
key.a = letters[1:2]) %>%
as_granges()
subject <- data.frame(seqnames = "chr1",
strand = c("-", "+"),
start = c(2, 6),
end = c(4, 8),
key.b = LETTERS[1:2]) %>%
as_granges()
Figure 1: Query and Subject Ranges
The join operator is relational in the sense that metadata
from the query and subject ranges is retained in the joined range. All join operators in the plyranges DSL generate a set of hits based on overlap or proximity of ranges and use those hits to merge the two
datasets in different ways.
There are four supported matching algorithms: overlap,
nearest, precede, and follow. We can further restrict the
matching by whether the query is completely within the subject, and
adding the directed suffix ensures that matching ranges have the
same direction (strand).
The first function, join_overlap_intersect() will return a Ranges object where the start, end, and width coordinates correspond to the amount of any overlap between the left and right input Ranges. It also returns any metadatain the subject range if the subject overlaps the query.
intersect_rng <- join_overlap_intersect(query, subject)
intersect_rng## GRanges object with 2 ranges and 2 metadata columns:
## seqnames ranges strand | key.a key.b
## <Rle> <IRanges> <Rle> | <factor> <factor>
## [1] chr1 2-4 + | a A
## [2] chr1 6-7 + | a B
## -------
## seqinfo: 1 sequence from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths
Figure 2: Intersect Join
The join_overlap_inner() function will return the Ranges in the query that
overlap any Ranges in the subject. Like the join_overlap_intersect() function
metadata of the subject Range is returned if it overlaps the query.
inner_rng <- join_overlap_inner(query, subject)
inner_rng## GRanges object with 2 ranges and 2 metadata columns:
## seqnames ranges strand | key.a key.b
## <Rle> <IRanges> <Rle> | <factor> <factor>
## [1] chr1 1-7 + | a A
## [2] chr1 1-7 + | a B
## -------
## seqinfo: 1 sequence from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths
Figure 3: Inner Join
We also provide a convenience method called find_overlaps that computes the same result as join_overlap_inner().
find_overlaps(query, subject)## GRanges object with 2 ranges and 2 metadata columns:
## seqnames ranges strand | key.a key.b
## <Rle> <IRanges> <Rle> | <factor> <factor>
## [1] chr1 1-7 + | a A
## [2] chr1 1-7 + | a B
## -------
## seqinfo: 1 sequence from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsThe join_overlap_left() method will perform an outer left join.
First any overlaps that are found will be returned similar to join_overlap_inner(). Then any non-overlapping ranges will be returned, with missing values on the metadata columns.
left_rng <- join_overlap_left(query, subject)
left_rng## GRanges object with 3 ranges and 2 metadata columns:
## seqnames ranges strand | key.a key.b
## <Rle> <IRanges> <Rle> | <factor> <factor>
## [1] chr1 1-7 + | a A
## [2] chr1 1-7 + | a B
## [3] chr1 9-10 - | b <NA>
## -------
## seqinfo: 2 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths
Figure 4: Left Join
Compared with filter_by_overlaps() above, the overlap left join expands the
Ranges to give information about each interval on the query Ranges that
overlap those on the subject Ranges as well as the intervals on the left that do not overlap any range on the right.
7.1 Finding your neighbours
We also provide methods for finding nearest, preceding or following Ranges. Conceptually this is identical to our approach for finding
overlaps, except the semantics of the join are different.

This example is taken from the Bioconductor support site.
We have two Ranges objects. The first contains single nucleotide positions
corresponding to an intensity measurement such as a ChiP-seq experiment,
while the other contains coordinates for two genes of interest.
We want to identify which positions in the intensities Ranges overlap the
genes, where each row corresponds to a position that overlaps a single gene.
First we create the two Ranges objects
intensities <- data.frame(seqnames = "VI",
start = c(3320:3321,3330:3331,3341:3342),
width = 1) %>%
as_granges()

## [2] VI 3030-3338 * | YFL065C
## -------
## seqinfo: 1 sequence from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsNow to find where the positions overlap each gene, we can perform an overlap join. This will automatically carry over the gene_id information as well as their coordinates (we can drop those by only selecting the gene_id).
olap <- join_overlap_inner(intensities, genes) %>%
select(gene_id)
olap## GRanges object with 8 ranges and 1 metadata column:

## -------
## seqinfo: 1 sequence from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsSeveral positions match to both genes. We can count them using summarise
and grouping by the start position:

## 4 3331 2
## 5 3341 1
## 6 3342 17.3 Grouping by overlaps
It’s also possible to group by overlaps. Using this approach we can count the number of overlaps that are greater than 0.

9 Mapping to GenomicRanges/IRanges
For users already familiar with the IRanges and GenomicRanges we provide
mappings to the plyranges API.
9.1 Operations on range width
For GRanges`` objects all functions ignore
any strandedness, unless the strand of the range is anchored.
plyranges functions |
Description | GenomicRanges/IRanges command |
|---|---|---|
anchor_(start/end/center/3p/5p) |
Fix the start/end/center/ coordinates or positive/negative strand of range. Can be used in combination with any of the following |
Available in functions that have a fix argument. |
mutate(x, width = width + modifier) |
Modify the width of a Ranges |
resize |
stretch(x, extend) |
Extend the start and end coordinates in opposite directions by a fixed amount. | start(x)<- start(x) - extend%/%2, end(x) <- end(x) + extend%/%2 |
9.2 Operations on range width (invariant)
plyranges functions |
Description | GenomicRanges/IRanges command |
|---|---|---|
shift_[left/right/downstream/upstream](x, shift) |
Shift the coordinates of the interval (left/right/downstream/upstream) by an integer amount. | shift_right corresponds to shift |
flank_[left/right/downstream/upstream](x, width) |
Generates flanking regions of size width left/right/downstream/upstream/ |
corresponds to flank |
9.3 Set operations (vector wise)
These are usual set-operations that act on the sets of the
Ranges represented in x and y. By default these operations will ignore
any strand information. The directed versions of these functions will
take into account strand.

Set operations between two Ranges, ignoring strand. |
intersect/setdiff/union/ with ignore.strand = FALSE |
[intersect/setdiff/union/]_anchored_Ranges |
As above taking into account strandedness. |
9.4 Set operations (element wise)
We provide infix operators and the verbs between and span to the represent element wise range operations. These
map to the pintersect/punion/psetdiff/pgap/punion(fill.gap = FALSE) functions.
9.5 Restrictions
The verb filter corresponds to subset, while filter_by_[overlaps/non_overlaps] corresponds to subsetByOverlaps.
9.6 Aggregation
The summarise verb is most similar to the aggregate methods defined in GenomicRanges/IRanges.
The reduce_ranges/disjoin_ranges correspond to the reduce/disjoin methods.
However, the former methods allow additional summarisation.
The compute_coverage(x) method corresponds to [I/G]Ranges(coverage(x)).
9.7 Overlaps
For GRanges objects all functions ignore
any strandedness, unless the suffix directed is added to the function call
plyranges function |
Description | GenomicRanges/IRanges command |
|---|---|---|
find_overlaps(x, y, maxgap, minoverlap) |
Returns a Ranges object with any range in y that overlaps x. Appends the metadata in y and its genomic intervals to the returning Ranges. |
findOverlaps(x,y, maxgap, minoverlap, type = "any") with expanding x and y by their hits and appending the mcols in y. |
group_by_overlaps(x, y, maxgap, minoverlap) |
Returns a GroupedRanges object grouped by the query hits. | Same as above with an additional column called query which contains the queryHits. |
count_overlaps(x, y, maxgap, minoverlap) |
Returns an integer vector (used with mutate) |
countOverlaps(x, y, maxgap, minoverlap, type = "any") |
join_overlap_self(x, maxgap, minoverlap) |
Returns a Ranges object with any range that overlaps itself. |
findOverlaps(x,x, maxgap, minoverlap, type = "any") |
join_overlap_inner(x, y, maxgap, minoverlap) |
Finds the intersecting Ranges that overlap in x and y. Returns a Ranges object with the metadata from x and y. |
findOverlapsPairs(x,y, maxgap, minoverlap, type = "any") + pintersect. |
*_within |
Adding suffix within will find overlaps |
Makes type = "within" |
*_includes |
inverse of within functions | - |
join_nearest[_left/right/up/downstream](x,y) |
Finds nearest neighbour Ranges between x and y. |
nearest + reindexing to return a Ranges object. |
join_precede[_left/right/up/downstream](x,y) |
Finds Ranges in x that precede y |
precedes + reindexing to return a Ranges object. |
join_follow[_left/right/up/downstream](x,y) |
Finds Ranges in x that follow y |
precedes + reindexing to return a Ranges object. |
