An introduction to the bambu package using NanoporeRNASeq data

Introduction

NanoporeRNASeq contains RNA-Seq data from the K562 and MCF7 cell lines that were generated by the SG-NEx project (https://github.com/GoekeLab/sg-nex-data). Each of these cell line has three replicates, with 1 direct RNA sequencing data and 2 cDNA sequencing data. The files contains reads aligned to the human genome (Grch38) chromosome 22 (1:25500000).

Accessing NanoporeRNASeq data

Load the NanoporeRNASeq package

library("NanoporeRNASeq")

Visualizing gene of interest from a single bam file

We can visualize the one sample for a single gene ENST00000215832 (MAPK1)

library(ggbio)
range <- HsChr22BambuAnnotation$ENST00000215832
# plot mismatch track
library(BSgenome.Hsapiens.NCBI.GRCh38)
# plot annotation track
tx <- autoplot(range, aes(col = strand), group.selfish = TRUE)
# plot coverage track
coverage <- autoplot(bamFiles[[1]], aes(col = coverage), which = range)

# merge the tracks into one plot
tracks(annotation = tx, coverage = coverage, heights = c(1, 3)) + theme_minimal()

Running Bambu with NanoporeRNASeq data

Load the bambu package

library(bambu)
genomeSequenceData <- query(ExperimentHub(), c("NanoporeRNA", "GRCh38", "FASTA"))
genomeSequence <- genomeSequenceData[["EH7260"]]

Run bambu

Applying bambu to bamFiles

se <- bambu(reads = bamFiles, annotations = HsChr22BambuAnnotation, genome = genomeSequence)

bambu returns a SummarizedExperiment object
