Evolutionary Transcriptomics aims to predict stages or periods of evolutionary conservation in biological processes on the transcriptome level. However, finding genes sharing a common evolutionary history could reveal how the the biological process might have evolved in the first place.
In this Use Case
we will combine functional and
biological annotation obtained with biomartr
with enriched
genes obtained with PlotEnrichment().
For the following example we will use the dataset an enrichment analyses found in PlotEnrichment().
Install and load the myTAI package:
Download the Phylostratigraphic Map
of D.
rerio:
The dataset comes from Supplementary file 3
of this
publication: https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/32/2/299/1058654#77837069
After downloading Supplementary file 3
, you will find
the file TableS3-2.xlsx
which can be used in the following
biomartr
functions.
Read the *.xlsx
file storing the
Phylostratigraphic Map
of D. rerio and format it
for the use with myTAI
:
# install the readxl package
install.packages("readxl")
# load package readxl
library(readxl)
# read the excel file
DrerioPhyloMap.MBEa <- read_excel("TableS3-2.xlsx", sheet = 1, skip = 4)
# format Phylostratigraphic Map for use with myTAI
Drerio.PhyloMap <- DrerioPhyloMap.MBEa[ , 1:2]
# have a look at the final format
head(Drerio.PhyloMap)
Phylostrata ZFIN_ID
1 1 ZDB-GENE-000208-13
2 1 ZDB-GENE-000208-17
3 1 ZDB-GENE-000208-18
4 1 ZDB-GENE-000208-23
5 1 ZDB-GENE-000209-3
6 1 ZDB-GENE-000209-4
Now, Drerio.PhyloMap
stores the
Phylostratigraphic Map
of D. rerio which is used
as background set to perform enrichment analyses with
PlotEnrichment()
from myTAI
.
Now, the PlotEnrichment()
function visualizes the over-
and underrepresented Phylostrata
of brain specific genes
when compared with the total number of genes stored in the
Phylostratigraphic Map
of D. rerio.
library(readxl)
# read expression data (organ specific genes) from Sestak and Domazet-Loso, 2015
Drerio.OrganSpecificExpression <- read_excel("TableS3-2.xlsx", sheet = 2, skip = 3)
# select only brain specific genes
Drerio.Brain.Genes <- unlist(unique(na.omit(Drerio.OrganSpecificExpression[ , "brain"])))
# visualize enriched Phylostrata of genes annotated as brain specific
PlotEnrichment(Drerio.PhyloMap,
test.set = Drerio.Brain.Genes,
measure = "foldchange",
use.only.map = TRUE,
legendName = "PS")
Users will observe that for example brain genes deriving from PS5 are significantly enriched.
Now we can select all brain genes originating in PS5 using the
SelectGeneSet()
function from myTAI
. Please
notice that SelectGeneSet()
can only be used with
phylostratigraphic maps only (use.map.only = TRUE
argument)
since myTAI version > 0.3.0.
BrainGenes <- SelectGeneSet(ExpressionSet = Drerio.PhyloMap,
gene.set = Drerio.Brain.Genes,
use.only.map = TRUE)
# select only brain genes originating in PS5
BrainGenes.PS5 <- BrainGenes[which(BrainGenes[ , "Phylostrata"] == 5), ]
# look at the results
head(BrainGenes.PS5)
Phylostrata ZFIN_ID
14851 5 ZDB-GENE-000210-6
14852 5 ZDB-GENE-000210-7
14853 5 ZDB-GENE-000328-4
14856 5 ZDB-GENE-000411-1
14857 5 ZDB-GENE-000427-4
14860 5 ZDB-GENE-000526-1
Now users can perform the biomart()
function to obtain
the functional annotation of brain genes originating in PS5.
For this purpose, first we need to find the filter name of the
corresponding gene ids such as ZDB-GENE-000210-6
.
