Type: Package
Title: Reversion Mutation Detector for DNA Sequencing Data
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2025-12-16
Author: Hui Xiao [aut, cre], Stephen Pettitt [aut], Syed Haider [aut]
Maintainer: Hui Xiao <hui.xiao@icr.ac.uk>
Description: Reversion mutations are secondary mutations that reverse the deleterious effects of an original pathogenic mutation, partially or fully restoring the gene's function. The revert package detects reversion mutations for a specific pathogenic mutation from DNA-seq bam files.

Detect reversion mutations

Description

getReversions() detects reversion mutations for a given pathogenic mutation from a BAM file of DNA sequencing data.

Usage

getReversions(
  bam.file,
  out.dir,
  reference,
  pathog.mut,
  gene.name = NULL,
  transcript.id = NULL,
  detection.window = 100,
  splice.region = 8,
  check.soft.clipping = TRUE,
  softClippedReads.realign.window = 1000,
  softClippedReads.realign.match = 1,
  softClippedReads.realign.mismatch = 4,
  softClippedReads.realign.gapOpening = 6,
  softClippedReads.realign.gapExtension = 0,
  check.wildtype.reads = FALSE,
  is.paired.end = TRUE,
  keep.duplicate.reads = TRUE,
  keep.secondary.alignment = TRUE,
  keep.supplementary.alignment = TRUE,
  minimum.mapping.quality = 0,
  verbose = TRUE,
  out.failed.reads = FALSE
)

Arguments

bam.file

A character file name of the BAM file containing aligned reads to be processed.

out.dir

A character file path to write output files.

reference

A character variable specifying the reference genome version (hg19, hg38, mm10) or a FASTA file containing the open reading frames of reference sequences.

pathog.mut

A character variable specifying the genomic position of pathogenic mutation following the HGVS-like syntax for substitution, deletion, insertion, deletion-insertion (delins), or duplication.

gene.name

A character gene name for the pathogenic mutation.

transcript.id

A character Ensembl Transcript ID for the pathogenic mutation.

detection.window

A non-negative integer specifying the length of flanking regions to be added to both ends of pathogenic mutation locus for detecting reversion mutations. Default is 100.

splice.region

A positive integer specifying the length of splicing junction region to be considered in introns. Default is 8.

check.soft.clipping

A logical value indicating whether soft-clipped reads to be realigned. Default is TRUE.

softClippedReads.realign.window

A non-negative integer specifying the length of flanking regions to be added to both ends of pathogenic mutation locus for realigning soft-clipped reads. Default is 1000.

softClippedReads.realign.match

A non-negative integer specifying the scoring for a nucleotide match for realigning soft-clipped reads. Default is 1.

softClippedReads.realign.mismatch

A non-negative integer specifying the scoring for a nucleotide mismatch for realigning soft-clipped reads. Default is 4.

softClippedReads.realign.gapOpening

A non-negative integer specifying the cost for opening a gap in the realignment of soft-clipped reads. Default is 6.

softClippedReads.realign.gapExtension

A non-negative integer specifying the incremental cost incurred along the length of the gap in the realignment of soft-clipped reads. Default is 0.

check.wildtype.reads

A logical value indicating whether wild type reads to be processed as revertant-to-wildtype reads. Default is FALSE.

is.paired.end

A logical value indicating whether reads in BAM file are paired-end (TRUE) or single-end (FALSE). Default is TRUE.

keep.duplicate.reads

A logical value indicating whether duplicated reads in the BAM file to be processed (TRUE) or discarded (FALSE). Default is TRUE.

keep.secondary.alignment

A logical value indicating whether secondary alignment reads in the BAM file to be processed (TRUE) or discarded (FALSE). Default is TRUE.

keep.supplementary.alignment

A logical value indicating whether supplementary alignment reads in the BAM file to be processed (TRUE) or discarded (FALSE). Default is TRUE.

minimum.mapping.quality

A non-negative integer specifying the minimum mapping quality of reads in the BAM file to be processed. Default is 0.

verbose

A logical value indicating whether progress logging to be printed to stdout. Default is TRUE.

out.failed.reads

A logical value indicating whether the name of failed reads to be written to the '.failed_reads.txt' file. Default is FALSE.

Value

Results written into output directory:
