2 Introduction

Comparing different coexpression networks can reveal relevant biological patterns. For instance, seeking for consensus modules can identify coexpression modules that occur in all data sets regardless of natural variation and, hence, are core players of the studied phenotype. Additionally, module preservation within and across species can reveal patterns of conservation and divergence between transcriptomes. In this vignette, we will explore consensus modules and module preservation analyses with BioNERO. Although they seem similar, their goals are opposite: while consensus modules identification focuses on the commonalities, module preservation focuses on the divergences.

3 Data loading and description

We will use RNA-seq data of maize (Zea mays) and rice (Oryza sativa) obtained from Shin et al. (2020).

data(zma.se)
zma.se
## class: SummarizedExperiment 
## dim: 10802 28 
## metadata(0):
## assays(1): ''
## rownames(10802): ZeamMp030 ZeamMp044 ... Zm00001d054106 Zm00001d054107
## rowData names(0):
## colnames(28): SRX339756 SRX339757 ... SRX2792103 SRX2792104
## colData names(1): Tissue

## class: SummarizedExperiment 
## dim: 7647 27 
## metadata(0):

## rownames(7647): Os01g0100700 Os01g0100900 ... Os12g0641400 Os12g0641500
## rowData names(0):
## colnames(27): SRX831140 SRX831141 ... SRX263041 SRX1544234
## colData names(1): Tissue

All BioNERO’s functions for consensus modules and module preservation analyses require the expression data to be in a list. Each element of the list can be a SummarizedExperiment object (recommended) or an expression data frame with genes in row names and samples in column names.

4 Consensus modules

The most common objective in consensus modules identification is to find core modules across different tissues or treatments for the same species. For instance, one can infer GCNs for different types of cancer in human tissues (say prostate and liver) and identify modules that occur in all sets, which are likely core components of cancer biology. Likewise, one can also identify consensus modules across samples from different geographical origins to find modules that are not affected by population structure or kinship.

4.1 Data preprocessing

Here, we will subset 22 random samples from the maize data twice and find consensus modules between the two sets.

# Preprocess data and keep top 2000 genes with highest variances
filt_zma <- exp_preprocess(zma.se, variance_filter = TRUE, n = 2000)
## Number of removed samples: 1

# Create different subsets by resampling data
zma_set1 <- filt_zma[, sample(colnames(filt_zma), size=22, replace=FALSE)]
zma_set2 <- filt_zma[, sample(colnames(filt_zma), size=22, replace=FALSE)]
colnames(zma_set1)

4.2 Identification of consensus modules

As described in the first vignette, before inferring the GCNs, we need to identify the optimal \(\beta\) power that makes the network closer to a scale-free topology. We can do that with consensus_SFT_fit().

cons_sft <- consensus_SFT_fit(zma_list, setLabels = c("Maize 1", "Maize 2"),
                              cor_method = "pearson")

This function returns a list with the optimal powers and a summary plot, exactly as SFT_fit() does.

powers <- cons_sft$power

Now, we can infer GCNs and identify consensus modules across data sets.

Finally, we can correlate consensus module eigengenes to sample metadata (here, plant tissues).1 NOTE: Blank grey cells in the heatmap represent correlation values that have opposite sign in the expression sets. For each correlation pair, consensus correlations are calculated by selecting the minimum value across matrices of consensus module-trait correlations.

consensus_trait <- consensus_trait_cor(consensus, cor_method = "pearson")
head(consensus_trait)
##       trait              ME         cor     pvalue  group

As with the output of module_trait_cor(), users can visualize the output of consensus_trait_cor() with the function plot_module_trait_cor().

5 Module preservation

Module preservation is often used to study patterns of evolutionary conservation and divergence across transcriptomes, an approach named phylotranscriptomics. This way, one can investigate how evolution shaped the expression profiles for particular gene families across taxa.

5.1 Data preprocessing

To calculate module preservation statistics, gene IDs must be shared by the expression sets. For intraspecies comparisons, this is an easy task, as gene IDs are the same. However, for interspecies comparisons, users need to identify orthogroups between the different species and collapse the gene-level expression values to orthogroup-level expression values. This way, all expression sets will have common row names. We recommend identifying orthogroups with OrthoFinder (Emms and Kelly 2015), as it is simple to use and widely used.2 PRO TIP: If you identify orthogroups with OrthoFinder, BioNERO has a helper function named parse_orthofinder() that parses the Orthogroups.tsv file generated by OrthoFinder into a suitable data frame for module preservation analysis. See ?parse_orthofinder for more details. Here, we will compare maize and rice expression profiles. The orthogroups between these species were downloaded from the PLAZA 4.0 Monocots database (Van Bel et al. 2018).

data(og.zma.osa)
head(og.zma.osa)
##              Family Species           Gene

## 4921 ORTHO04M000001     zma Zm00001d039873

As you can see, the orthogroup object for BioNERO must be a data frame with orthogroups, species IDs and gene IDs, respectively. Let’s collapse gene-level expression to orthogroup-level with exp_genes2orthogroups(). By default, if there is more than one gene in the same orthogroup for a given species, their expression levels are summarized to the median. Users can also summarize to the mean.

# Store SummarizedExperiment objects in a list
zma_osa_list <- list(osa = osa.se, zma = zma.se)

# Collapse gene-level expression to orthogroup-level
ortho_exp <- exp_genes2orthogroups(zma_osa_list, og.zma.osa, summarize = "mean")

# Inspect new expression data

Now, we will preprocess both expression sets and keep only the top 1000 orthogroups with the highest variances for demonstration purposes.

# Preprocess data and keep top 1000 genes with highest variances
ortho_exp <- lapply(ortho_exp, exp_preprocess, variance_filter=TRUE, n=1000)
## Number of removed samples: 2
## Number of removed samples: 2

# Check orthogroup number
sapply(ortho_exp, nrow)

5.2 Calculating module preservation statistics

Now that row names are comparable, we can infer GCNs for each set. We will do that iteratively with lapply.

Initially, module preservation analyses were performed with WGCNA’s algorithm (Langfelder and Horvath 2008). However, the summary preservation statistics used by WGCNA rely on parametric assumptions that are often not met. For this purpose, the NetRep algorithm (Ritchie et al. 2016) is more accurate than WGCNA, as it uses non-parametric permutation analyses. Both algorithms are implemented in BioNERO for comparison purposes, but we strongly recommend using the NetRep algorithm. Module preservation analysis can be performed with a single function: module_preservation().

# Using rice as reference and maize as test
pres <- module_preservation(ortho_exp, 
                            ref_net = gcns[[1]], 
                            test_net = gcns[[2]], 
                            algorithm = "netrep")

## 1 modules in osa were preserved in zma:
## NA

None of the modules in rice were preserved in maize. This can be either due to the small number of orthogroups we have chosen or to the natural biological variation between species and sampled tissues. You can (and should) include more orthogroups in your analyses for a better view of transcriptional conservation between species.

6 Identifying singletons and duplicated genes

Finally, BioNERO can identify singletons and duplicated genes with is_singleton(). This function returns logical vectors indicating if each of the input genes is a singleton or not.

# Sample 50 random genes
genes <- sample(rownames(zma.se), size = 50)
is_singleton(genes, og.zma.osa)
