Similarly, the last boundary will start from the end position of the last lesion that affect the chromosome till the last base on the chromosome. # First extract data for gains and deletions from the lesion data file: gain=lesion.data[lesion.data$lsn.type=="gain",] loss=lesion.data[lesion.data$lsn.type=="loss",] # Then use grin.lsn.boundaries function to return the lesion boundaries: lsn.bound.gain=grin.lsn.boundaries(gain, hg19.chrom.size) lsn.bound.loss=grin.lsn.boundaries(loss, hg19.chrom.size) # It return a table of ordered boundaries based on the unique start and end positions of different lesions in a specific category on each chromosome. head(lsn.bound.loss[,1:5]) ``` ## 30) Run GRIN analysis Using Lesion Boundaries Instead of the Gene Annotation File ```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} grin.results.gain.bound=grin.stats(gain, lsn.bound.gain, hg19.chrom.size) grin.results.loss.bound=grin.stats(loss, lsn.bound.loss, hg19.chrom.size) ``` ## 31) Genome-wide Significance Plot for Loss Lesion Boundaries ```{r loss.lesion.boundaries.significance.plot, fig.height = 8, fig.width = 8, fig.cap="Figure 12. Genome-wide -log10q plot of loss lesion boundaries"} # genomewide.log10q.plot function will return a genome-wide plot based on -log(10) q-value testing if each of the evaluated lesion boundaries is significantly affect by a deletions in our example: genomewide.log10q.plot(grin.results.loss.bound, lsn.grps=c("loss"), lsn.colors=c("loss" = "blue"), max.log10q = 50) ``` ## 32) Genome-wide Significance Plot for annotated Genes Affected by Deletions ```{r loss.annotated.genes.significance.plot, fig.height = 8, fig.width = 8, fig.cap="Figure 13. Genome-wide -log10q plot for annotated genes affected by deletions"} # genomewide.log10q.plot function can be also used to return genome-wide significance plot for annotated genes to be affected by a certain type of lesions. # Here we should use GRIN results for annotated genes affected by loss instead of lesion boundaries. Users can notice that some regions mostly without annotated markers were only captured in the lesion boundaries analysis that cover the entire genome: genomewide.log10q.plot(grin.results, lsn.grps=c("loss"), lsn.colors=c("loss" = "blue"), max.log10q = 50) ``` ```{r setup} library(GRIN2) ```
