When using the first version of metaseqR, one had to either embed the annotation to the gene/exon/3’ UTR counts, or to download and construct on-the-fly the required annotation when starting from BAM files. Although the counting and gene model construction results could (anf still can) be saved and re-used with other analysis parameters changed (e.g. statistical algorithms), one could not easily add for example new data to an existing dataset without re-running the whole pipeline and re-downloading annotation. On top of that, many times, the main Ensembl servers (when using Ensembl annotations) do not respond well to biomaRt calls, so the whole pipeline may stall until the servers are back.
Another main issue with the annotation used by metaseqR was that there was no straightforward way, provided by metaseqR, to archive and version the annotation used by a specific analysis and was up to the user to take care of reproducibility at this level. Furthermore, there was no straightforward way for a user to plugin own annotation elements (e.g. in the form of a GTF file) and use it in the same manner as standard annotations supported by metaseqR, e.g. when analyzing data from not-so-often studied organisms such as insects. Plugging-in own annotation was possible but usually a painful procedure, which has become now very easy.
The annotation database builder for metaseqR2 remedies the above situations. The
buildAnnotationDatabase function should be run once with the organisms one
requires to have locally to work with and then that’s it! Of course you can
manage your database by adding and removing specific annotations (and you even
can play with an SQLite browser, although not advised, as the database structure
is rather simple). Furthermore, you can use the metaseqR2 annotation database
and management mechanism for any other type of analysis where you require to
have a simple tab-delimited annotation file, acquired with very little effort.
The following organisms (essentially genome versions) are supported for automatic database builds:
To install the metaseqR2 package, start R and enter:
if(!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("metaseqR2")By default, the database file will be written in the
system.file(package="metaseqR2") directory. You can specify another prefered
destination for it using the db argument in the function call, but if you do
that, you will have to supply the localDb argument pointing to the SQLite
database file you created to every metaseqr2 call you perform, otherwise, the
pipeline will download and use annotations on-the-fly.
In this vignette, we will build a minimal database comprising only the mouse
mm9 genome version from Ensembl. The database will be build in a temporary
directory inside session tempdir().
Important note: As the annotation build function makes use of Kent utilities for creating 3’UTR annotations from RefSeq and UCSC, the latter cannot be built in Windows. Therefore it is advised to either build the annotation database in a Linux system or use our pre-built databases.

a GRanges object by default.

This can be achieved through the usage of
GTF files, along with
some simple metadata that you have to provide for proper import to the
annotation database. This can be achieved through the usage of the
buildCustomAnnotation function. Details on required metadata can be found
in the function’s help page.
Important note: Please note that importing a custom genome annotation
directly from UCSC (UCSC SQL database dumps) is not supported in Windows as the
process involves using the genePredToGtf which is not available for Windows.

}Another example, Armadillo from Ensembl. This should work irrespectively of operating system. We are downloading chromosomal information from UCSC.

# Chromosome information will be provided from the following BAM file
# available from Ensembl. We have noticed that when using Windows as the OS,
# a remote BAM files cannot be opened by scanBamParam, so for this example,
# chromosome length information will not be available when running in Windows.
bamForInfo <- NULL
if (.Platform$OS.type == "unix")
bamForInfo <- paste0("ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-98/bamcov/",
"dasypus_novemcinctus/genebuild/Dasnov3.broad.Ascending_Colon_5.1.bam")
# Build with the metadata list filled (you can also provide a version)
buildCustomAnnotation(
gtfFile=file.path(customDir,"Dasypus_novemcinctus.Dasnov3.0.98.gtf.gz"),
metadata=list(
organism="dasNov3_test",
source="ensembl_test",
chromInfo=bamForInfo
),
db=myDb
)
# Try to retrieve some data
dasGenes <- loadAnnotation(genome="dasNov3_test",refdb="ensembl_test",
level="gene",type="gene",db=myDb)
dasGenesA quite complete build (with latest versions of Ensembl annotations) would look like (supposing the default annotation database location):
organisms <- list(
hg18=67,
hg19=75,
hg38=97:98,
mm9=67,
mm10=97:98,
rn5=79,
rn6=97:98,
dm3=78,
dm6=97:98,
danrer7=79,
danrer10=91,
danrer11=97:98,
pantro4=90,
pantro5=97:98,
susscr3=89,
susscr11=97:98,
equcab2=97:98
)
sources <- c("ensembl","ucsc","refseq")
buildAnnotationDatabase(organisms,sources,forceDownload=FALSE,rc=0.5)The aforementioned complete built can be found here Complete builts will become available from time to time (e.g. with every new Ensembl relrase) for users who do not wish to create annotation databases on their own. Root access may be required (depending on the metaseqR2 library location) to place it in the default location where it can be found automatically.
If for some reason you do not want to build and use an annotation database for
metaseqR2 analyses (not recommended) or you wish to perform an analysis with an
organism that does not yet exist in the database, the loadAnnotation function
will perform all required actions (download and create a GRanges object)
on-the-fly as long as there is an internet connection.
However, the above function does not handle custom annotations in GTF files.
In a scenario where you want to use a custom annotation only once, you should
supply the annotation argument to the metaseqr2 function, which is almost
the same as the metadata argument used in buildCustomAnnotation, actually
augmented by a list member for the GTF
file, that is:
annotation <- list(
gtf="PATH_TO_GTF",
organism="ORGANISM_NAME",
source="SOURCE_NAME",
chromInfo="CHROM_INFO"
)The above argument can be passed to the metaseqr2 call in the respective position.
For further details about custom annotations on the fly, please check
buildCustomAnnotation and importCustomAnnotation functions.
