Broadcasting vector arithmetic

Description

Convenience functions for adding or multiplying each row / column of a matrix by a number.

Usage

add_rows(mat, vec)

add_cols(mat, vec)

multiply_rows(mat, vec)

multiply_cols(mat, vec)

Arguments

mat

Matrix-like object

vec

Numeric vector

Value

Matrix-like object


Get/set inputs to a matrix transform

Description

A matrix object can either be an input (i.e. a file on disk or a raw matrix in memory), or it can represent a delayed operation on one or more matrices. The all_matrix_inputs() getter and setter functions allow accessing the base-level input matrices as a list, and changing them. This is useful if you want to re-locate data on disk without losing your transformed BPCells matrix. (Note: experimental API; potentially subject to revisions).

Usage

all_matrix_inputs(x)

all_matrix_inputs(x) <- value

Arguments

x

IterableMatrix

value

List of IterableMatrix objects

Value

List of IterableMatrix objects. If a matrix m is itself an input object, then all_matrix_inputs(m) will return list(m).


Convert matrix elements to zeros and ones

Description

Binarize compares the matrix element values to the threshold value and sets the output elements to either zero or one. By default, element values greater than the threshold are set to one; otherwise, set to zero. When strict_inequality is set to FALSE, element values greater than or equal to the threshold are set to one. As an alternative, the <, <=, >, and >= operators are also supported.

Usage

binarize(mat, threshold = 0, strict_inequality = TRUE)

Arguments

mat

IterableMatrix

threshold

A numeric value that determines whether the elements of x are set to zero or one.

strict_inequality

A logical value determining whether the comparison to the threshold is >= (strict_inequality=FALSE) or > (strict_inequality=TRUE).

Value

binarized IterableMatrix object


Call peaks from tiles

Description

Calling peaks from a pre-set list of tiles can be much faster than using dedicated peak-calling software like macs3. The resulting peaks are less precise in terms of exact coordinates, but should be sufficient for most analyses.

Usage

call_peaks_tile(
  fragments,
  chromosome_sizes,
  cell_groups = rep.int("all", length(cellNames(fragments))),
  effective_genome_size = NULL,
  peak_width = 200,
  peak_tiling = 3,
  fdr_cutoff = 0.01,
  merge_peaks = c("all", "group", "none")
)

Arguments

fragments

IterableFragments object

chromosome_sizes

Chromosome start and end coordinates given as GRanges, data.frame, or list. See help("genomic-ranges-like") for details on format and coordinate systems. Required attributes:

  • chr, start, end: genomic position

See read_ucsc_chrom_sizes().

cell_groups

Grouping vector with one entry per cell in fragments, e.g. cluster IDs

effective_genome_size

(Optional) effective genome size for poisson background rate estimation. See deeptools for values for common genomes. Defaults to sum of chromosome sizes, which overestimates peak significance

peak_width

Width of candidate peaks

peak_tiling

Number of candidate peaks overlapping each base of genome. E.g. peak_width = 300 and peak_tiling = 3 results in candidate peaks of 300bp spaced 100bp apart

fdr_cutoff

Adjusted p-value significance cutoff

merge_peaks

How to merge significant peaks with merge_peaks_iterative()

  • "all" Merge the full set of peaks

  • "group" Merge peaks within each group

  • "none" Don't perform any merging

Details

Peak calling steps:

  1. Estimate the genome-wide expected insertions per tile based on peak_width, effective_genome_size, and per-group read counts

  2. Tile the genome with nonoverlapping tiles of size peak_width

  3. For each tile and group, calculate p_value based on a Poisson model

  4. Compute adjusted p-values using BH method and using the total number of tiles as the number of hypotheses tested.

  5. Repeat steps 2-4 peak_tiling times, with evenly spaced offsets

  6. If merge_peaks is "all" or "group": use merge_peaks_iterative() within each group to keep only the most significant of the overlapping candidate peaks

  7. If merge_peaks is "all", perform a final round of merge_peaks_iterative(), prioritizing each peak by its within-group significance rank

Value

tibble with peak calls and the following columns:

  • chr, start, end: genome coordinates

  • group: group ID that this peak was identified in

  • p_val, q_val: Poission p-value and BH-corrected p-value

  • enrichment: Enrichment of counts in this peak compared to a genome-wide background


Calculate the MD5 checksum of an IterableMatrix

Description

Calculate the MD5 checksum of an IterableMatrix and return the checksum in hexidecimal format.

Usage

checksum(matrix)

Arguments

matrix

IterableMatrix object

Details

checksum() converts the non-zero elements of the sparse input matrix to double precision, concatenates each element value with the element row and column index words, and uses these 16-byte blocks along with the matrix dimensions and row and column names to calculate the checksum. The checksum value depends on the storage order so column- and row-order matrices with the same element values give different checksum values. checksum() uses element and index values in little-endian CPU storage order. It converts to little-endian order on big-endian architecture although this has not been tested.

Value

MD5 checksum string in hexidecimal format.

Examples

library(Matrix)
library(BPCells)
m1 <- matrix(seq(1,12), nrow=3)
m2 <- as(m1, 'dgCMatrix')
m3 <- as(m2, 'IterableMatrix')
checksum(m3)

Convert between BPCells fragments and R objects.

Description

BPCells fragments can be interconverted with GRanges and data.frame R objects. The main conversion method is R's builtin as() function, though the convert_to_fragments() helper is also available. For all R objects except GRanges, BPCells assumes a 0-based, end-exclusive coordinate system. (See genomic-ranges-like reference for details)

Usage

Calculate gene-tile distances for ArchR gene activities

Description

ArchR-style gene activity scores are based on a weighted sum of each tile according to the signed distance from the tile to a gene body. This function calculates the signed distances according to ArchR's default parameters.

Usage

  • chr, start, end: genomic position

  • strand: +/- or TRUE/FALSE for positive or negative strand

chromosome_sizes

(optional) Size of chromosomes as a genomic-ranges object

tile_width

Size of tiles to consider

addArchRBug

Replicate ArchR bug in handling nested genes

Details

ArchR's tile distance algorithm works as follows

  1. Genes are extended 5kb upstream

  2. Genes are linked to any tiles 1kb-100kb upstream + downstream, but tiles beyond a neighboring gene are not considered

Value

Tibble with one range per tile, with additional metadata columns gene_idx (row index of the gene this tile corresponds to) and distance.

Distance is a signed distance calculated such that if the tile has a smaller start coordinate than the gene and the gene is on the + strand, distance will be negative. The distance of adjacent but non-overlapping regions is 1bp, counting up from there.


Calculate GeneActivityScores

Description

Gene activity scores can be calculated as a distance-weighted sum of per-tile accessibility. The tile weights for each gene can be represented as a sparse matrix of dimension genes x tiles. If we multiply this weight matrix by a corresponding tile matrix (tiles x cells), then we can get a gene activity score matrix of genes x cells. gene_score_weights_archr() calculates the weight matrix (best if you have a pre-computed tile matrix), while gene_score_archr() provides a easy-to-use wrapper.

Usage

gene_score_weights_archr(
  genes,
  chromosome_sizes,
  blacklist = NULL,
  tile_width = 500,
  gene_name_column = "gene_id",
  addArchRBug = FALSE
)

gene_score_archr(
  fragments,
  genes,
  chromosome_sizes,
  blacklist = NULL,
  tile_width = 500,

  scale_factor = 10000,
  tile_matrix_path = tempfile(pattern = "gene_score_tile_mat")
)

gene_score_weights_archr

Weight matrix of dimension genes x tiles

gene_score_archr

Gene score matrix of dimension genes x cells.


Genomic range formats

Description

BPCells accepts a flexible set of genomic ranges-like objects as input, either GRanges, data.frame, lists, or character vectors. These objects must specify chromosome, start, and end coordinates along with optional metadata about each range. With the exception of GenomicRanges::GRanges objects, BPCells assumes all objects use a zero-based, end-exclusive coordinate system (see below for details).

Valid Range-like objects

BPCells can interpret the following types as ranges:

  • list(), data.frame(), with columns:

    • chr: Character or factor of chromosome names

    • start: Start coordinates (0-based)

    • end: End coordinates (exclusive)

    • (optional) strand: "+"/"-" or TRUE/FALSE for pos/neg strand

    • (optional) Additional metadata as named list entries or data.frame columns

  • GenomicRanges::GRanges

    • start(x) is interpreted as a 1-based start coordinate

    • end(x) is interpreted as an inclusive end coordinate

    • strand(x): "*" entries are interpeted as postive strand

    • (optional) mcols(x) holds additional metadata

  • character

    • Given in format "chr1:1000-2000" or "chr1:1,000-2,000"

    • Uses 0-based, end-exclusive coordinate system

    • Cannot be used for ranges where additional metadata is required

Range coordinate systems

There are two main conventions for the coordinate systems:

One-based, end-inclusive ranges

  • The first base of a chromosome is numbered 1

  • The last base in a range is equal to the end coordinate

  • e.g. 1-5 describes the first 5 bases of the chromosome

  • Used in formats such as SAM, GTF

  • In BPCells, used when reading or writing GenomicRanges::GRanges objects

Zero-based, end-exclusive ranges

  • The first base of a chromosome is numbered 0

  • The last base in a range is one less than the end coordinate

  • e.g. 0-5 describes the first 5 bases of the chromosome

  • Used in formats such as BAM, BED

  • In BPCells, used for all other range objects


Gene Symbol Mapping data

mouse_gene_mapping

Format

human_gene_mapping

A named character vector. Names are aliases or IDs and values are the corresponding canonical gene symbol

mouse_gene_mapping

A named character vector. Names are aliases or IDs and values are the corresponding canonical gene symbol

Details

See the source code in data-raw/human_gene_mapping.R and data-raw/mouse_gene_mapping.R for exactly how these mappings were made.

Import MatrixMarket files

Description

Read a sparse matrix from a MatrixMarket file. This is a text-based format used by 10x, Parse, and others to store sparse matrices. Format details on the NIST website.

Usage

import_matrix_market(
  mtx_path,
  outdir = tempfile("matrix_market"),
  row_names = NULL,
  col_names = NULL,
  row_major = FALSE,
  tmpdir = tempdir(),
  load_bytes = 4194304L,
  sort_bytes = 1073741824L
)

import_matrix_market_10x(
  mtx_dir,
  outdir = tempfile("matrix_market"),
  feature_type = NULL,
  row_major = FALSE,
  tmpdir = tempdir(),
  load_bytes = 4194304L,
  sort_bytes = 1073741824L
)

Arguments

mtx_path

Path of mtx or mtx.gz file

outdir

Directory to store the output

row_names

Character vector of row names

col_names

Character vector of col names

row_major

If true, store the matrix in row-major orientation

tmpdir

Temporary directory to use for intermediate storage

load_bytes

The minimum contiguous load size during the merge sort passes

sort_bytes

The amount of memory to allocate for re-sorting chunks of entries

mtx_dir

Directory holding matrix.mtx.gz, barcodes.tsv.gz, and features.tsv.gz

feature_type

String or vector of feature types to include. (cellranger 3.0 and newer)

Details

Import MatrixMarket mtx files to the BPCells format. This implementation ensures fixed memory usage even for very large inputs by doing on-disk sorts. It will be much slower than hdf5 inputs, so only use MatrixMarket format when absolutely necessary.

As a rough speed estimate, importing the 17GB Parse 1M PBMC DGE_1M_PBMC.mtx file takes about 4 minutes and 1.3GB of RAM, producing a compressed output matrix of 1.5GB. mtx.gz files will be slower to import due to gzip decompression.

When importing from 10x mtx files, the row and column names can be read automatically using the import_matrix_market_10x() convenience function.

Value

MatrixDir object with the imported matrix

K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Graph

Description

Convert a KNN object (e.g. returned by knn_hnsw() or knn_annoy()) into a graph. The graph is represented as a sparse adjacency matrix.

Usage

knn_to_graph(knn, use_weights = FALSE, self_loops = TRUE)

knn_to_snn_graph(
  knn,
  min_val = 1/15,
  self_loops = FALSE,
  return_type = c("matrix", "list")
)

knn_to_geodesic_graph(knn, return_type = c("matrix", "list"), threads = 0L)

Arguments

knn

List of 2 matrices – idx for cell x K neighbor indices, dist for cell x K neighbor distances

use_weights

boolean for whether to replace all distance weights with 1

self_loops

Whether to allow self-loops in the output graph

min_val

minimum jaccard index between neighbors. Values below this will round to 0

return_type

Whether to return a sparse adjacency matrix or an edge list

threads

Number of threads to use during calculations

Details

knn_to_graph Create a knn graph

knn_to_snn_graph Convert a knn object into a shared nearest neighbors adjacency matrix. This follows the algorithm that Seurat uses to compute SNN graphs

knn_to_geodesic_graph Convert a knn object into an undirected weighted graph, using the same geodesic distance estimation method as the UMAP package. This matches the output of umap._umap.fuzzy_simplicial_set from the umap-learn python package, used by default in scanpy.pp.neighbors. Because this only re-weights and symmetrizes the KNN graph, it will usually use less memory and return a sparser graph than knn_to_snn_graph which computes 2nd-order neighbors. Note: when cells don't have themselves listed as the nearest neighbor, results may differ slightly from umap._umap.fuzzy_simplicial_set, which assumes self is always successfully found in the approximate nearest neighbor search.

Value

knn_to_graph Sparse matrix (dgCMatrix) where mat[i,j] = distance from cell i to cell j, or 0 if cell j is not in the K nearest neighbors of i

knn_to_snn_graph

  • return_type == "matrix": Sparse matrix (dgCMatrix) where mat[i,j] = jaccard index of the overlap in nearest neigbors between cell i and cell j, or 0 if the jaccard index is < min_val. Only the lower triangle is filled in, which is compatible with the BPCells clustering methods

  • return_type == "list": List of 3 equal-length vectors i, j, and weight, along with an integer dim. These correspond to the rows, cols, and values of non-zero entries in the lower triangle adjacency matrix. dim is the total number of vertices (cells) in the graph

knn_to_geodesic_graph

  • return_type == "matrix": Sparse matrix (dgCMatrix) where mat[i,j] = normalized similarity between cell i and cell j. Only the lower triangle is filled in, which is compatible with the BPCells clustering methods

  • return_type == "list": List of 3 equal-length vectors i, j, and weight, along with an integer dim. These correspond to the rows, cols, and values of non-zero entries in the lower triangle adjacency matrix. dim is the total number of vertices (cells) in the graph

Details

Tips for using the values from this function:

  • Use dplyr::mutate() to add columns for e.g. adjusted p-value and log fold change.

  • Use dplyr::filter() to get only differential genes above some given threshold

  • To get adjusted p-values, use R p.adjust(), recommended method is "BH"

  • To get log2 fold change: if your input matrix was already log-transformed, calculate (foreground_mean - background_mean)/log(2). If your input matrix was not log-transformed, calculate log2(forground_mean/background_mean)

Value

tibble with the following columns:

  • foreground: Group ID used for the foreground

  • background: Group ID used for the background (or NA if comparing to rest of cells)

Usage

# Convert to R from BPCells
as(bpcells_mat, "dgCMatrix") # Sparse matrix conversion
as.matrix(bpcells_mat) # Dense matrix conversion

# Convert to BPCells from R

Calculate matrix stats

Description

Calculate matrix stats

Usage

matrix_stats(

  row_stats = c("none", "nonzero", "mean", "variance"),
  col_stats = c("none", "nonzero", "mean", "variance"),
  threads = 0L
)

Arguments

matrix

Input matrix object

row_stats

Which row statistics to compute

col_stats

Which col statistics to compute

threads

Number of threads to use during execution

Details

The statistics will be calculated in a single pass over the matrix, so this method is desirable to use for efficiency purposes compared to the more standard rowMeans or colMeans if multiple statistics are needed. The stats are ordered by complexity: nonzero, mean, then variance. All less complex stats are calculated in the process of calculating a more complicated stat. So to calculate mean and variance simultaneously, just ask for variance, which will compute mean and nonzero counts as a side-effect

Value

List of row_stats: matrix of n_stats x n_rows, col_stats: matrix of n_stats x n_cols


Merge cells into pseudobulks

Description

Peak and tile matrix calculations can be sped up by reducing the number of cells. For cases where the outputs are going to be added together afterwards, this can provide a performance improvement

Read/write a 10x fragments file

Description

10x fragment files come in a bed-like format, with columns chr, start, end, cell_id, and pcr_duplicates. Unlike a standard bed format, the format from cellranger has an inclusive end-coordinate, meaning the end coordinate itself is what should be counted as the tagmentation site, rather than offset by 1.

Usage

open_fragments_10x(path, comment = "#", end_inclusive = TRUE)

write_fragments_10x(
  fragments,
  path,
  end_inclusive = TRUE,
  append_5th_column = FALSE
)

Arguments

path

File path (e.g. fragments.tsv or fragments.tsv.gz)

comment

Skip lines at beginning of file which start with comment string

end_inclusive

Whether the end coordinate of the bed is inclusive – i.e. there was an insertion at the end coordinate rather than the base before the end coordinate. This is the 10x default, though it's not quite standard for the bed file format.

fragments

Input fragments object

append_5th_column

Whether to include 5th column of all 0 for compatibility with 10x fragment file outputs (defaults to 4 columns chr,start,end,cell)

Details

Usage

open_matrix_10x_hdf5(path, feature_type = NULL, buffer_size = 16384L)

write_matrix_10x_hdf5(
  mat,
  path,
  barcodes = colnames(mat),
  feature_ids = rownames(mat),
  feature_names = rownames(mat),
  feature_types = "Gene Expression",
  feature_metadata = list(),
  buffer_size = 16384L,
  chunk_size = 1024L,
  gzip_level = 0L,
  type = c("uint32_t", "double", "float", "auto")
)

Arguments

path

Path to the hdf5 file on disk

type

Data type of the output matrix. Default is uint32_t to match a matrix of 10x UMI counts. Non-integer data types include float and double. If auto, will use the data type of mat.

Details

The 10x format makes use of gzip compression for the matrix data, which can slow down read performance. Consider writing into another format if the read performance is important to you.

Input matrices must be in column-major storage order, and if the rownames and colnames are not set, names must be provided for the relevant metadata parameters. Some of the metadata parameters are not read by default in BPCells, but it is possible to export them for use with other tools.

Value

BPCells matrix object


Read/write AnnData matrix

Description

Read or write a sparse matrix from an anndata hdf5 file. These functions will automatically transpose matrices when converting to/from the AnnData format. This is because the AnnData convention stores cells as rows, whereas the R convention stores cells as columns. If this behavior is undesired, call t() manually on the matrix inputs and outputs of these functions.

Usage

open_matrix_anndata_hdf5(path, group = "X", buffer_size = 16384L)

write_matrix_anndata_hdf5(
  mat,
  path,
  group = "X",
  buffer_size = 16384L,
  chunk_size = 1024L,
  gzip_level = 0L
)

Arguments

chunk_size

For performance tuning only. The chunk size used for the HDF5 array storage.

gzip_level

Gzip compression level. Default is 0 (no compression)

Value

AnnDataMatrixH5 object, with cells as the columns.

explicit_peak_names

Boolean for whether to add rownames to the output matrix in format e.g chr1:500-1000, where start and end coords are given in a 0-based coordinate system. Note that either way, peak names will be written when the matrix is saved.

Value

Iterable matrix object with dimension ranges x cells. When saved, the column names of the output matrix will be in the format chr1:500-1000, where start and end coords are given in a 0-based coordinate system.

mode options

  • "insertions": Start and end coordinates are separately overlapped with each peak

  • "fragments": Like "insertions", but each fragment can contribute at most 1 count to each peak, even if both the start and end coordinates overlap

  • "overlaps": Like "fragments", but an overlap is also counted if the fragment fully spans the peak even if neither the start or end falls within the peak

Note

When calculating the matrix directly from a fragments tsv, it's necessary to first call select_chromosomes() in order to provide the ordering of chromosomes to expect while reading the tsv.

If TRUE, return multiple plots as a list, rather than a single plot combined using patchwork::wrap_plots()

apply_styling

If false, return a plot without pretty styling applied

Details

Smoothing

Calculate ArchR-compatible per-cell QC statistics

Description

Calculate ArchR-compatible per-cell QC statistics

Usage

qc_scATAC(fragments, genes, blacklist)

Arguments

fragments

IterableFragments object

genes

Gene coordinates given as GRanges, data.frame, or list. See help("genomic-ranges-like") for details on format and coordinate systems. Required attributes:

  • chr, start, end: genomic position

blacklist

Blacklisted regions given as GRanges, data.frame, or list. See help("genomic-ranges-like") for details on format and coordinate systems. Required attributes:

  • chr, start, end: genomic position

Details

This implementation mimics ArchR's default parameters. For uses requiring more flexibility to tweak default parameters, the best option is to re-implement this function with required changes. Output columns of data.frame:

  • cellName: cell name for each cell

  • nFrags: number of fragments per cell

  • subNucleosomal, monoNucleosomal, multiNucleosomal: number of fragments of size 1-146bp, 147-254bp, and 255bp + respectively. equivalent to ArchR's nMonoFrags, nDiFrags, nMultiFrags respectively

  • TSSEnrichment: AvgInsertInTSS / max(AvgInsertFlankingTSS, 0.1), where AvgInsertInTSS is ReadsInTSS / 101 (window size), and AvgInsertFlankingTSS is ReadsFlankingTSS / (100*2) (window size). The max(0.1) ensures that very low-read cells do not get assigned spuriously high TSSEnrichment.

  • ReadsInPromoter: Number of reads from 2000bp upstream of TSS to 101bp downstream of TSS

  • ReadsInBlacklist: Number of reads in the provided blacklist region

  • ReadsInTSS: Number of reads overlapping the 101bp centered around each TSS

  • ReadsFlankingTSS: Number of reads overlapping 1901-2000bp +/- each TSS

Differences from ArchR: Note that ArchR by default uses a different set of annotations to derive TSS sites and promoter sites. This function uses just one annotation for gene start+end sites, so must be called twice to exactly re-calculate the ArchR QC stats.

ArchR's PromoterRatio and BlacklistRatio are not included in the output, as they can be easily calculated from ReadsInPromoter / nFrags and ReadsInBlacklist / nFrags. Similarly, ArchR's NucleosomeRatio can be calculated as (monoNucleosomal + multiNucleosomal) / subNucleosomal.

Value

data.frame with QC data

If true, coordinates start and 0 and the end coordinate is not included in the range. If false, coordinates start at 1 and the end coordinate is included in the range

Value

A 2-column data.frame with columns upstream and downstream, containing the distances to the nearest neighbor in the respective directions. For ranges on + or * strand, distance is calculated as:

  • upstream = max(start(range) - end(upstreamNeighbor), 0)

  • downstream = max(start(downstreamNeighbor) - end(range), 0)

For ranges on - strand, the definition of upstream and downstream is flipped. Note that this definition of distance is one off from GenomicRanges::distance(), as ranges that neighbor but don't overlap are given a distance of 1 rather than 0.

set_trackplot_height(plot, height)

get_trackplot_height(plot)

Arguments

plot

ggplot object

labels

character vector of labels – must match existing number of facets in plot

height

New height. If numeric, adjusts relative height. If ggplot2::unit or grid::unit sets absolute height in specified units. "null" units are interpreted as relative height.

Shift start or end coordinates

Description

Shifts start or end of fragments by a fixed amount, which can be useful to correct the Tn5 offset.

Arguments

fragments

Input fragments object

shift_start

How many basepairs to shift the start coords

shift_end

Details

The correct Tn5 offset is +/- 4bp since the Tn5 cut sites on opposite strands are offset by 9bp. However, +4/-5 bp is often applied to bed-format files, since the end coordinate in bed files is 1 past the last basepair of the sequenced DNA fragment. This results in a bed-like format except with inclusive end coordinates.

Value

Shifted fragments object

max_len

Maximum bases in fragment (inclusive)

Details

Calculate svds

Description

Use the C++ Spectra solver (same as RSpectra package), in order to compute the largest k values and corresponding singular vectors. Empirically, memory usage is much lower than using irlba::irlba(), likely due to avoiding R garbage creation while solving due to the pure-C++ solver. This documentation is a slightly-edited version of the RSpectra::svds() documentation.

Usage

svds(A, k, nu = k, nv = k, opts = list(), threads=0L, ...)

Arguments

A

The matrix whose truncated SVD is to be computed.

k

Number of singular values requested.

nu

Number of right singular vectors to be computed. This must be between 0 and 'k'. (Must be equal to 'k' for BPCells IterableMatrix)

opts

Control parameters related to computing algorithm. See Details below

threads

Control threads to use calculating mat-vec producs (BPCells specific)

Details

When RSpectra is installed, this function will just add a method to RSpectra::svds() for the IterableMatrix class.

The opts argument is a list that can supply any of the following parameters:

ncv

Number of Lanzcos basis vectors to use. More vectors will result in faster convergence, but with greater memory use. ncv must be satisfy k<ncvpk < ncv \le p where p = min(m, n). Default is min(p, max(2*k+1, 20)).

tol

Precision parameter. Default is 1e-10.

maxitr

Maximum number of iterations. Default is 1000.

center

Either a logical value (TRUE/FALSE), or a numeric vector of length nn. If a vector cc is supplied, then SVD is computed on the matrix A1cA - 1c', in an implicit way without actually forming this matrix. center = TRUE has the same effect as center = colMeans(A). Default is FALSE. Ignored in BPCells

scale

Either a logical value (TRUE/FALSE), or a numeric vector of length nn. If a vector ss is supplied, then SVD is computed on the matrix (A1c)S(A - 1c')S, where cc is the centering vector and S=diag(1/s)S = diag(1/s). If scale = TRUE, then the vector ss is computed as the column norm of A1cA - 1c'. Default is FALSE. Ignored in BPCells

Value

A list with the following components:

d

A vector of the computed singular values.

u

An m by nu matrix whose columns contain the left singular vectors. If nu == 0, NULL will be returned.

v

An n by nv matrix whose columns contain the right singular vectors. If nv == 0, NULL will be returned.

nconv

Number of converged singular values.

niter

Number of iterations used.

nops

Number of matrix-vector multiplications used.

Value

Iterable matrix object with dimension ranges x cells. When saved, the column names will be in the format chr1:500-1000, where start and end coords are given in a 0-based coordinate system.

Note

When calculating the matrix directly from a fragments tsv, it's necessary to first call select_chromosomes() in order to provide the ordering of chromosomes to expect while reading the tsv.

Read/write BPCells fragment objects

Description

BPCells fragments can be read/written in compressed (bitpacked) or uncompressed form in a variety of storage locations: in memory (as an R object), in an hdf5 file, or in a directory on disk (containing binary files).

Usage

write_fragments_memory(fragments, compress = TRUE)

write_fragments_dir(
  fragments,
  dir,
  compress = TRUE,
  buffer_size = 1024L,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

open_fragments_dir(dir, buffer_size = 1024L)

write_fragments_hdf5(
  fragments,
  path,
  group = "fragments",
  compress = TRUE,
  buffer_size = 8192L,
  chunk_size = 1024L,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  gzip_level = 0L
)

open_fragments_hdf5(path, group = "fragments", buffer_size = 16384L)

Arguments

fragments

Input fragments object

compress

Whether or not to compress the data. With compression, storage size is be about half the size of a gzip-compressed 10x fragments file.

dir

Directory to read/write the data from

buffer_size

For performance tuning only. The number of items to be bufferred in memory before calling writes to disk.

overwrite

If TRUE, write to a temp dir then overwrite existing data. Alternatively, pass a temp path as a string to customize the temp dir location.

path

Path to the hdf5 file on disk

group

The group within the hdf5 file to write the data to. If writing to an existing hdf5 file this group must not already be in use

chunk_size

For performance tuning only. The chunk size used for the HDF5 array storage.

gzip_level

Gzip compression level. Default is 0 (no compression). This is recommended when both compression and compatibility with outside programs is required. Otherwise, using compress=TRUE is recommended as it is >10x faster with often similar compression levels.

Details

Saving in a directory on disk is a good default for local analysis, as it provides the best I/O performance and lowest memory usage. The HDF5 format allows saving within existing hdf5 files to group data together, and the in memory format provides the fastest performance in the event memory usage is unimportant.

Value

Fragment object


Read/write sparse matrices

Description

BPCells matrices are stored in sparse format, meaning only the non-zero entries are stored. Matrices can store integer counts data or decimal numbers (float or double). See details for more information.

Usage

write_matrix_memory(mat, compress = TRUE)

write_matrix_dir(
  mat,
  dir,
  compress = TRUE,
  buffer_size = 8192L,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

open_matrix_dir(dir, buffer_size = 8192L)

write_matrix_hdf5(
  mat,
  path,
  group,
  compress = TRUE,
  buffer_size = 8192L,
  chunk_size = 1024L,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  gzip_level = 0L
)

open_matrix_hdf5(path, group, buffer_size = 16384L)

Arguments

compress

Whether or not to compress the data.

dir

Directory to save the data into

buffer_size

For performance tuning only. The number of items to be buffered in memory before calling writes to disk.

overwrite

If TRUE, write to a temp dir then overwrite existing data. Alternatively, pass a temp path as a string to customize the temp dir location.

path

Path to the hdf5 file on disk

group

The group within the hdf5 file to write the data to. If writing to an existing hdf5 file this group must not already be in use

chunk_size

For performance tuning only. The chunk size used for the HDF5 array storage.

gzip_level

Gzip compression level. Default is 0 (no compression). This is recommended when both compression and compatibility with outside programs is required. Otherwise, using compress=TRUE is recommended as it is >10x faster with often similar compression levels.

matrix

Input matrix, either IterableMatrix or dgCMatrix

Details

Storage locations

Matrices can be stored in a directory on disk, in memory, or in an HDF5 file. Saving in a directory on disk is a good default for local analysis, as it provides the best I/O performance and lowest memory usage. The HDF5 format allows saving within existing hdf5 files to group data together, and the in memory format provides the fastest performance in the event memory usage is unimportant.

Bitpacking Compression

For typical RNA counts matrices holding integer counts, this bitpacking compression will result in 6-8x less space than an R dgCMatrix, and 4-6x smaller than a scipy csc_matrix. The compression will be more effective when the count values in the matrix are small, and when the rows of the matrix are sorted by rowMeans. In tests on RNA-seq data optimal ordering could save up to 40% of storage space. On non-integer data only the row indices are compressed, not the values themselves so space savings will be smaller.

For non-integer data matrices, bitpacking compression is much less effective, as it can only be applied to the indexes of each entry but not the values. There will still be some space savings, but far less than for counts matrices.

Value

BPCells matrix object
