It includes fast, memory efficient functions to construct sparse incidence and similarity matrices and filter, cluster, invert, and decompose sets. Additionally, bubble heatmaps can be created to visualize the results of any differential or molecular signatures analysis. We define a molecular signature as any collection of genes, proteins, post-translational modifications (PTMs), metabolites, lipids, or other molecules with an associated biological interpretation. Most molecular signatures databases are gene-centric, such as the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB; Liberzon et al., 2011, 2015), though there are others like the Metabolomics Workbench Reference List of Metabolite Names (RefMet) database (Fahy & Subramaniam, 2020). ## Installation To install this package, start R (\>= 4.4.0) and enter: ``` r if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager") BiocManager::install("TMSig") ``` You can install the development version of `TMSig` like so: ``` r if (!require("devtools", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("devtools") # Install package and build vignettes devtools::install_github("EMSL-Computing/TMSig", build_vignettes = TRUE) ``` ## Overview Below is an overview of some of the core functions. - `readGMT`: create a named list of sets from a GMT file. - `sparseIncidence`: compute a sparse incidence matrix with unique sets as rows and unique elements as columns. A value of 1 indicates that a particular element is a member of that set, while a value of 0 indicates that it is not. - `similarity`: compute the matrix of pairwise Jaccard, overlap, or Ōtsuka similarity coefficients for all pairs of sets $A$ and $B$, where - Jaccard(A, B) = $\frac{|A \cap B|}{|A \cup B|}$ - Overlap(A, B) = $\frac{|A \cap B|}{\min(|A|, |B|)}$ - Ōtsuka(A, B) = $\frac{|A \cap B|}{\sqrt{|A| \times |B|}}$ - `filterSets`: restrict sets to only those elements in a pre-determined background, if provided, and only keep those that pass minimum and maximum size thresholds. - `clusterSets`: hierarchical clustering of highly similar sets. Used to reduce redundancy prior to analysis. - `decomposeSets`: decompose all pairs of sufficiently overlapping sets, $A$ and $B$, into 3 disjoint parts. 1. The elements unique to $A$: $A \setminus B$ (“A minus B”) 2. The elements unique to $B$: $B \setminus A$ (“B minus A”) 3. The elements common to both $A$ and $B$: $A \cap B$ (“A and B”) - `invertSets`: swap positions of sets and elements so that elements become set names and set names become elements. - `cameraPR.matrix`: a fast matrix method for `limma::cameraPR` for testing molecular signatures in one or more contrasts. Pre-Ranked Correlation Adjusted MEan RAnk gene set testing (CAMERA-PR) accounts for inter-gene correlation to control the type I error rate (Wu & Smyth, 2012). - `enrichmap`: visualize molecular signature analysis results, such as those from `cameraPR.matrix`, as a bubble heatmap with signatures as rows and contrasts as columns. <img src="figures/bubble_heatmap.png" alt="Example bubble heatmap." width="80%" height="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> ## Examples Please refer to `vignette(topic = "TMSig", package = "TMSig")` for examples of how to use this package. ``` r library(TMSig) #> Loading required package: limma # Named list of sets x <- list("Set1" = letters[1:5], "Set2" = letters[1:4], # subset of Set1 "Set3" = letters[1:4], # aliased with Set2 "Set4" = letters[1:3], # subset of Set1-Set3 "Set5" = c("a", "a", NA), # duplicates and NA "Set6" = c("x", "y", "z"), # distinct elements "Set7" = letters[3:6]) # overlaps with Set1-Set5 x #> $Set1 #> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" #> #> $Set2 #> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" #> #> $Set3 #> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" #> #> $Set4 #> [1] "a" "b" "c" #> #> $Set5 #> [1] "a" "a" NA #> #> $Set6 #> [1] "x" "y" "z" #> #> $Set7 #> [1] "c" "d" "e" "f" ``` ``` r (imat <- sparseIncidence(x)) # incidence matrix #> 7 x 9 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" #> a b c d e x y z f #> Set1 1 1 1 1 1 . . . . #> Set2 1 1 1 1 . . . . . #> Set3 1 1 1 1 . . . . . #> Set4 1 1 1 . . . . . . #> Set5 1 . . . . . . . . #> Set6 . . . . . 1 1 1 . #> Set7 . . 1 1 1 . . . 1 tcrossprod(imat) # pairwise intersection and set sizes #> 7 x 7 sparse Matrix of class "dsCMatrix" #> Set1 Set2 Set3 Set4 Set5 Set6 Set7 #> Set1 5 4 4 3 1 . 3 #> Set2 4 4 4 3 1 . 2 #> Set3 4 4 4 3 1 . 2 #> Set4 3 3 3 3 1 . 1 #> Set5 1 1 1 1 1 . . #> Set6 . . . . . 3 . #> Set7 3 2 2 1 . . 4 crossprod(imat) # occurrence of each element and pair of elements #> 9 x 9 sparse Matrix of class "dsCMatrix" #> a b c d e x y z f #> a 5 4 4 3 1 . . . . #> b 4 4 4 3 1 . . . . #> c 4 4 5 4 2 . . . 1 #> d 3 3 4 4 2 . . . 1 #> e 1 1 2 2 2 . . . 1 #> x . . . . . 1 1 1 . #> y . . . . . 1 1 1 . #> z . . . . . 1 1 1 . #> f . . 1 1 1 . . . 1 ``` ``` r ## Calculate matrices of pairwise Jaccard and overlap similarity coefficients similarity(x) # Jaccard (default) #> 7 x 7 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" #> Set1 Set2 Set3 Set4 Set5 Set6 Set7 #> Set1 1.0 0.8000000 0.8000000 0.6000000 0.2000000 . 0.5000000 #> Set2 0.8 1.0000000 1.0000000 0.7500000 0.2500000 . 0.3333333 #> Set3 0.8 1.0000000 1.0000000 0.7500000 0.2500000 . 0.3333333 #> Set4 0.6 0.7500000 0.7500000 1.0000000 0.3333333 . 0.1666667 #> Set5 0.2 0.2500000 0.2500000 0.3333333 1.0000000 . . #> Set6 . . . . . 1 . #> Set7 0.5 0.3333333 0.3333333 0.1666667 . . 1.0000000 similarity(x, type = "overlap") # overlap #> 7 x 7 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" #> Set1 Set2 Set3 Set4 Set5 Set6 Set7 #> Set1 1.00 1.0 1.0 1.0000000 1 . 0.7500000 #> Set2 1.00 1.0 1.0 1.0000000 1 . 0.5000000 #> Set3 1.00 1.0 1.0 1.0000000 1 . 0.5000000 #> Set4 1.00 1.0 1.0 1.0000000 1 . 0.3333333 #> Set5 1.00 1.0 1.0 1.0000000 1 . . #> Set6 . . . . . 1 . #> Set7 0.75 0.5 0.5 0.3333333 . . 1.0000000 similarity(x, type = "otsuka") # Ōtsuka #> 7 x 7 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" #> Set1 Set2 Set3 Set4 Set5 Set6 Set7 #> Set1 1.0000000 0.8944272 0.8944272 0.7745967 0.4472136 . 0.6708204 #> Set2 0.8944272 1.0000000 1.0000000 0.8660254 0.5000000 . 0.5000000 #> Set3 0.8944272 1.0000000 1.0000000 0.8660254 0.5000000 . 0.5000000 #> Set4 0.7745967 0.8660254 0.8660254 1.0000000 0.5773503 . 0.2886751 #> Set5 0.4472136 0.5000000 0.5000000 0.5773503 1.0000000 . . #> Set6 . . . . . 1 . #> Set7 0.6708204 0.5000000 0.5000000 0.2886751 . . 1.0000000 ``` ``` r ## Cluster sets based on their similarity # Cluster aliased sets clusterSets(x, cutoff = 1) #> set cluster set_size #> 1 Set2 1 4 #> 2 Set3 1 4 #> 3 Set1 2 5 #> 4 Set4 3 3 #> 5 Set5 4 1 #> 6 Set6 5 3 #> 7 Set7 6 4 # Cluster subsets clusterSets(x, cutoff = 1, type = "overlap") #> set cluster set_size #> 1 Set1 1 5 #> 2 Set2 1 4 #> 3 Set3 1 4 #> 4 Set4 1 3 #> 5 Set5 1 1 #> 6 Set6 2 3 #> 7 Set7 3 4 ``` ## Issues If you encounter a problem with TMSig, please [create a new issue](https://github.com/EMSL-Computing/TMSig/issues) that includes: 1.
