1) Basics of R

1.1) Basic Steps

• R can be accessed by clicking an icon or entering the command “R” at the system command line, also refered to as Terminal

• This produces a console window or causes R to start up as an interactive program at the current terminal window

• R works fundamentally by a question-and-answer model: enter a line with a command and press Enter

• Then the program does something relevant

1.1) Basic Steps (continued)

• In this course, we will the RStudio IDE and a file format called R Markdown

• RStudio and R Markdown allow us to code using R, bash and Python

• Another IDE:

  • https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c++_compiler

1.2) Library ISwR

• This notebook used the book Introductory Statistics with R, by Peter Dalgaard as a reference

• For the book, R library ISwR (Introductory Statistics with R) can be freely downloaded

• All examples in the book used as reference should run provided that ISwR library is not only installed by also loaded into the current search path

1.2) Library ISwR (continued)

• Library can be installed and loaded by typing the following command into an R chunk

install.packages("ISwR")
library("ISwR")

1.3) Plot Random Numbers

• For a first impression of what R can do, let´s try plotting a graph

• Need to insert the R chunk and use the plot function

1.3) Plot Random Numbers (continued)

plot(rnorm(1000))

1.4) A Potent Calculator

• R can process simple and complex arithmetic expression and produce a result for the user

2 + 2

## [1] 4

• R can also be used to do other standard calculations. Here is how to calculate e to the power of -2

exp(-2)

## [1] 0.1353353

1.4) A Potent Calculator (continued)

• Other than the R chunks, these calculations can be made using the RStudio Console

• In RStusio, when using the R Markdown format (.Rmd), we can insert R, Bash (terminal) and Python chunks

• Proceed to illustrate that in the RStudio IDE

1.5) Assignments

• Assignments are made based on the necessity to store the results of calculations and use these results in downstream processing steps in an entire algorithm or pipeline

• Like other languages, R has symbolic variables: names that can be used to represent values

• To assign the value 2 to variable x, we can enter the following command

x <- 2

• The character <- is called the assignment operator

1.5) Assignments (continued)

• There is no immediate visible result, but from now on, x has the value 2 and can be used in subsequent arithmetic operations

• We can “ask” R which value is stores in the x variable

x

## [1] 2

1.6) Operations after assignment of variable

• Below, our variable x, is used to perform other calculations

x

## [1] 2

• Addition

x + x

## [1] 4

1.6) Operations after assignment of variable (continued)

• Multiplication

5*x

## [1] 10

• Potentiation

x^3 

## [1] 8

1.7) Vectorized Arithmetic

• It is not useful to use one number at a time to run statistics

• One strenght of R is that it can handle entire data vectors as single objects

• A data vector is an array of numbers and a vector variable can be constructed like this

weight <- c(60, 72, 57, 90, 95, 72)

## To look at the vector variable, just type its name again
weight

## [1] 60 72 57 90 95 72

1.7) Vectorized Arithmetic (continued)

• You can do calculations with vectors just like ordinary numbers, so long as they have the same length

• One exception to this rule that we will see will be when we use the mean of weigths of persons (represented by xbar)

• In that case, the mean will be one single number, which will be subtracted from each sample value

1.7) Vectorized Arithmetic (continued)

• Suppose the weight vector indicates the weight of men in kilograms

• One simple formula to indicate whether a person is obese or not, is the body mass index (BMI)

• BMI is calculated by dividing the person´s weight by the square of their height, in meters

1.7) Vectorized Arithmetic (continued)

• Therefore, in R, we need to have a vector with the height values to calculate the bmi vector, containing the body-mass index for the individuals indicated in the weight vector

height <- c(1.75, 1.80, 1.65, 1.90, 1.74, 1.91)
bmi <- weight/height^2
bmi

## [1] 19.59184 22.22222 20.93664 24.93075 31.37799 19.73630

1.8) Calculate the Mean of the variable weight

• The mean is calculated by the sum of the observations divided by the total number of observations

\(\overline{x}\) = \(\sum x_i\) /n

1.8) Calculate the Mean of the variable weight (continued)

• Let´s calculate the mean of the variable weight

sum(weight)

## [1] 446

sum(weight)/length(weight)

## [1] 74.33333

1.9) Calculate the Standard-Deviation of the variable weight

• Standard-deviation can be calculated with the following equation

\[ SD = \sqrt{(\sum (x_i - \overline{x})^2)/(n-1)}\]

1.9) Calculate the Standard-Deviation of the variable weight (continued)

• xbar, the mean of variable weight, can be calculated using the sum and length of variable weight

xbar <- sum(weight)/length(weight)
xbar

## [1] 74.33333

1.9) Calculate the Standard-Deviation of the variable weight (continued)

• Now we can calculate the difference of each replicate in the weight variable and the mean of the weight variable, one by one

weight - xbar

## [1] -14.333333  -2.333333 -17.333333  15.666667  20.666667  -2.333333

1.9) Calculate the Standard-Deviation of the variable weight (continued)

• Notice how R uses xbar, which has length one, to calculate the new weight - xbar data vector

• xbar is recycled and subracted from every element in the weight variable (weight data vector)

1.10) Calculation of the Standard Deviation

• Calculate the squared deviations

(weight - xbar)^2

## [1] 205.444444   5.444444 300.444444 245.444444 427.111111   5.444444

• Calculate the sum of squared deviations

sum((weight - xbar)^2)

## [1] 1189.333

Calculate the standard deviation

sqrt(
  sum(
    (weight - xbar)^2/
      (length(weight)-1)
)
)

## [1] 15.42293

1.11) Standard Statistical Procedures

• It is a standard medical practice to access whether a person is obese or not using validated scientific criteria

• As a simple procedure to show this concept, let’s assume that an individual with a normal weight should have a BMI in the range 20-25

• We want to know if our data deviates from the normal range of BMI

• In R, this can be done using a statistical test called t-test

• You do not need to understand what a t-test is, just remember that is is used to evaluate the distribution of sample values compared to the normal distribution

• You can use a one-sample t-test to assess whether the six persons’ BMI can be assumed to have mean 22.5 given that they come from a normal distribution

• You can do that using the function t.test

1.11) Standard Statistical Procedures: t-test

t.test(
  bmi,
  mu = 22.5
)

## 
##  One Sample t-test
## 
## data:  bmi
## t = 0.34488, df = 5, p-value = 0.7442
## alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 22.5
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  18.41734 27.84791
## sample estimates:
## mean of x 
##  23.13262

1.12) Plot Graphics

• Let’s now plot a scatterplot of the height and weight of individuals

1.12) Plot Graphics Modifying the plotting character

• You will frequently want to modify drawing of your graphs in various ways

• One way is usig the parameter “plotting character”, pch

1.13) Plot an expected Line for weights at BMI of 22.5

• The term for weight at BMI of 22.5 is:

22.5*(height)^2

• This term can be used to compute the line of expected weights at a BMI of 22.5 using the lines() function

1.13) Plot an expected Line for weights at BMI of 22.5 (continued)

• As a note, we can’t use the lines() function without first creating a plot in R.

plot(height, weight, pch =2)
hh <- c(1.65, 1.70, 1.75, 1.80, 1.85, 1.90)
lines(hh, 22.5 * (hh)^2)

1.14) Vectors

• The weight and height vectors are called numeric vectors

• Besides numeric vectors, there are numeric and character vectors

• In the next chunk, we access the iris data, and look at a summary of the dataset

data(iris)
summary(iris)

3.1) More Visualization of the iris dataset

We need to cover these basic R functions:

• dim()
• head()
• View()
• class()
• str()

3.2) Visualize iris dataset with basic R functions

• head

head(iris, n = 10)

##    Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
## 1           5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 2           4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 3           4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
## 4           4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
## 5           5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 6           5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa
## 7           4.6         3.4          1.4         0.3  setosa

## 10          4.9         3.1          1.5         0.1  setosa

• number of columns and rows

dim(iris)

## [1] 150   5

• the class() function

class(iris)

## [1] "data.frame"

4) More Visualization

4.1) Scatterplot

plot(data=iris, iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width) ## R will complain about this command

## Warning in plot.window(...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

## Warning in plot.xy(xy, type, ...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "data" is not a
## graphical parameter

## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "data" is not a
## graphical parameter

## Warning in box(...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

## Warning in title(...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

plot(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width) ## According to the error, this was plotted using a different synthax

4.1) Scatterplot

Plot without warning and message

plot(data=iris, iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width) ## R will complain about this command

plot(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width) ## According to the error, this was plotted using a different synthax

4.2) Boxplot

boxplot(data=iris, iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width)

5) Data Visualization with specialized libraries

• In R, there are packages designed with the purpose of making good-looking graphics. This is the case with the ggplot2. The chunk below installs the ggplot2 library, loads the library into the R environment and then plots the data present in the iris data-frame.

• You can uncomment the installation line if you need to install it

5.1) Ggplot2

#install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=iris, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, color=Species)) + geom_point(size=4)

In our activities to visualize human genomic data, we will use a library called qqman, to visualize the biological association, through a plot known as the Manhattan plot.

5.2) Visualizing GWAS

• The simplest definition of a GWAS is the statistical or significant association between a phenotype (trait) and a genotype. This association can also be called biological association.

• Information about association of SNPs with Huntington’s Disease can be found at the Chaves 2019 Huntington’s disease paper

5.3.1) Package installation

• We need to install and load package qqman

## install.packages("qqman")
library(qqman)

## 

## For example usage please run: vignette('qqman')

## 

## Citation appreciated but not required:

## Turner, (2018). qqman: an R package for visualizing GWAS results using Q-Q and manhattan plots. Journal of Open Source Software, 3(25), 731, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00731.

## 

5.3.1) Package installation

• After, we load data-frame to be visualized

• Exact location of text file in your system needs to be determined

GWAS_TABLE <- read.table("../data/chr4.txt", 
                         sep = " ",
                         header = T)

5.3.2) Get information about object with head()

• Use head() function to inspect the data-frame just loaded

head(GWAS_TABLE, n = 10)

##    CHR         SNP     BP         P
## 1    4 chr4:128096 128096 0.0133500

## 10   4 chr4:585318 585318 0.0317600

5.3.3) Plotting GWAS data-frame

• In this section we use functions plot() and boxplot() to visualize data-frame

• In the y access, we see genomic coordinates and in the x access, p-valoues of the biological association

• Note that depending on the synthax used for plotting, R may complain

• Comments not turned off

plot(data=GWAS_TABLE, GWAS_TABLE$BP, GWAS_TABLE$P) ## R complains

## Warning in plot.window(...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

## Warning in plot.xy(xy, type, ...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "data" is not a
## graphical parameter

## Warning in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...): "data" is not a
## graphical parameter

## Warning in box(...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

## Warning in title(...): "data" is not a graphical parameter

• Turn off comments

plot(data=GWAS_TABLE, GWAS_TABLE$BP, GWAS_TABLE$P) ## R complains

5.3.4) Plotting GWAS data-frame

plot(GWAS_TABLE$BP, GWAS_TABLE$P) ## R does not complain

5.4) Boxplot

• Boxplot

boxplot(data=GWAS_TABLE, GWAS_TABLE$BP, GWAS_TABLE$P)

5.5) Boxplot

• Compare the chromosomal coordinates and the values of the p-values in the boxplot above

• The chunk below allows one to ommit NA values in data-frame

GWAS_TABLE_Ommit <- na.omit(GWAS_TABLE)

A seguir, criamos uma variável que armazena as posições das SNPs a serem realçadas em verde no Manhattan plot. Estas SNPs são mutações biológica e estatisticamente associadas à Doença de Huntington no gene de uma sortilina, localizada em proximidade física ao gene da proteína huntingtina mutada, a qual é a causadora medeliana (segue as leis de segregação genética de Mendel) da Doença de Huntington.

5.6) Create vector to highlight genome coordinates in Manhattan plot

5.7) Biological Association Visualization: Manhattan Plot

• Finally, we plot the Manhattanh plot graph

manhattan(GWAS_TABLE_Ommit, 
          highlight = SNP_HIGHLIGHT, 
          annotateTop = T, 
          annotatePval = 0.20, 
          genomewideline = -log10(0.0001))
