Biostrings: tools to manipule genetic strings

  • Last lecture we finished with a partial exploration of the Biostrings package in R.

  • We saw various functions applied to \({\tt DNAstring}\) datastructures.

  • … and we used the \({\tt BSgenome}\) package to quite seamlessly import full genomes into R. (Naming convention: \({\tt BSgenome.Organism.Provider.BuildVersion}\))

Biostrings

  • String (Biostrings)

    – Virtual class

    – Concrete subclasses:

    -- BString – Any “biological” sequence
    
    -- DNAString – DNA sequence
    
    -- RNAString – RNA sequence
    
    -- AAString – Amino acid sequence

The BSgenome series of packages

  • BSgenome is a series of packages that import the complete genome of different organisms into R and represents them as Biostrings.

  • This is also an example of an alignment, but here N matches any nucleotide. This is an example of a regular expression.

  • There are more biologically relevant notions of alignment that ultimately are based in models of evolution. We will learn these in part 3 of the course.

  • We will later explore several different notions of alignment.

  • BLAST is perhaps the best known “industrial strength” tool for alignments (available at the NCBI).

##   Please note that the SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP.20101109 package contains

##   dbSNP build for your analyses instead. See available.SNPs() for the
##   list of SNPlocs packages currently available and make sure to pick up
##   the most recent one.

Addition packages

  • There are several additional packages that are very important for deadling with large genomes, especially human.

  • \({\tt annotatR}\) is great for epigenetics and SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) studies.

  • \({\tt rtracklayer}\) can create and plot tracks like we see in the UCSC genome browser.

Genome and annotations for S. cerevisiae

  • Baker’s yeast has served as a very important model organism.

  • The genomes of this small fungi (eukaryote) has 16 chromosomes and one mitochondrial genome (total \(12.1M\) bp). In total \(6,275\) genes.

S. cerevisiae

  • SGD has long served as an excellent curated bioinformatics resource.

  • Let’s go live to RStudio Cloud and download its genome and annotations, and wrangle them into R.

Points of reflection

  • Why are roman numerals not a great idea?

  • Why is it perhaps inconvenient to have both a portion of a file in \({\tt gff}\) format and a portion in \({\tt FASTA}\) format? What sort of punishment would be appropriate for this type of design decision?

  • What is the difference between a gene, transcript and CDS at SGD?

  • What are some of the different types of entities that are cataloged and mapped to the genome of baker’s yeast?
