Calculate Quality Metrics
The main function to calculate the quality metrics is sesameQC_calcStats. This function takes a SigDF, calculates the QC statistics, and returns a single S4 sesameQC object, which can be printed directly to the console. To calculate QC metrics on a given list of samples or all IDATs in a folder, one can use sesameQC_calcStats within the standard openSesame pipeline. When used with openSesame, a list of sesameQCs will be returned. Note that one should turn off preprocessing using prep="":
## calculate metrics on all IDATs in a specific folder
qcs = openSesame(idat_dir, prep="", func=sesameQC_calcStats)SeSAMe divides sample quality metrics into multiple groups. These groups are listed below and can be referred to by short keys. For example, “intensity” generates signal intensity-related quality metrics.
| Short.Key | Description |
|---|---|
| detection | Signal Detection |
| numProbes | Number of Probes |
| intensity | Signal Intensity |
| channel | Color Channel |
| dyeBias | Dye Bias |
| betas | Beta Value |
By default, sesameQC_calcStats calculates all QC groups. To save time, one can compute a specific QC group by specifying one or multiple short keys in the funs= argument:
sdfs <- sesameDataGet("EPIC.5.SigDF.normal")[1:2] # get two examples
## only compute signal detection stats
qcs = openSesame(sdfs, prep="", func=sesameQC_calcStats, funs="detection")
qcs[[1]]##
## =====================
## | Detection

## N. Probes w/ Missing Raw Intensity : 0 (num_dtna)
## % Probes w/ Missing Raw Intensity : 0.0 % (frac_dtna)
## N. Probes w/ Detection Success : 838020 (num_dt)
## % Detection Success : 96.7 % (frac_dt)
## N. Detection Succ. (after masking) : 838020 (num_dt_mk)
## % Detection Succ. (after masking) : 96.7 % (frac_dt_mk)
## N. Probes w/ Detection Success (cg) : 835491 (num_dt_cg)
## % Detection Success (cg) : 96.7 % (frac_dt_cg)
## N. Probes w/ Detection Success (ch) : 2471 (num_dt_ch)
## % Detection Success (ch) : 84.3 % (frac_dt_ch)
## N. Probes w/ Detection Success (rs) : 58 (num_dt_rs)
## % Detection Success (rs) : 98.3 % (frac_dt_rs)We consider signal detection the most important QC metric.
One can retrieve the actual stat numbers from sesameQC using the sesameQC_getStats (the following generates the fraction of probes with detection success):
## [1] 0.9666915After computing the QCs, one can optionally combine the sesameQC objects into a data frame for easy comparison.
Note that when the input is an SigDF object, calling sesameQC_calcStats within openSesame and as a standalone function are equivalent.
sdf <- sesameDataGet('EPIC.1.SigDF')
qc = openSesame(sdf, prep="", func=sesameQC_calcStats, funs=c("detection"))
## equivalent direct call
qc = sesameQC_calcStats(sdf, c("detection"))

SeSAMe features comparison of your sample with public data sets. The sesameQC_rankStats() function ranks the input sesameQC object with sesameQC calculated from public datasets. It shows the rank percentage of the input sample as well as the number of datasets compared.

SeSAMe provides functions to create QC plots. Some functions takes sesameQC as input while others directly plot the SigDF objects. Here are some examples:
sesameQC_plotBar()takes a list of sesameQC objects and creates bar plot for each metric calculated.sesameQC_plotRedGrnQQ()graphs the dye bias between the two color channels.sesameQC_plotIntensVsBetas()plots the relationship between β values and signal intensity and can be used to diagnose artificial readout and influence of signal background.sesameQC_plotHeatSNPs()plots SNP probes and can be used to detect sample swaps.
More about quality control plots can be found in Supplemental Vignette.
