Mutation Analysis Toolkit for COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019).

CovidMutations

A feasible framework for mutation analysis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay evaluation of COVID-19, including mutation profile visualization, statistics and mutation ratio of each assay. The mutation ratio is conducive to evaluating the coverage of RT-PCR assays in large-sized samples.

Installation

devtools::install_github("MSQ-123/CovidMutations")

Usage

mergeEvents

Merge neighboring events of SNP, insertion and deletion.

#The example data:
data("nucmer")

#The input nucmer object can be made by the comment below:
#options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
#nucmer<-read.delim("nucmer.snps",as.is=TRUE,skip=4,header=FALSE)
#colnames(nucmer)<-c("rpos","rvar","qvar","qpos","","","","","rlength","qlength","","","rname","qname")
#rownames(nucmer)<-paste0("var",1:nrow(nucmer))

# Fix IUPAC codes
nucmer<-nucmer[!nucmer$qvar%in%c("B","D","H","K","M","N","R","S","V","W","Y"),]
nucmer<- mergeEvents(nucmer = nucmer)## This will update the nucmer object

indelSNP

Provide effects of each SNP, insertion and deletion in virus genome.

data("refseq")
data("gff3")
annot <- setNames(gff3[,10],gff3[,9])  #annot: subset the gene and its product.
outdir <- tempdir()
indelSNP(nucmer = nucmer,
         saveRda = FALSE,
         refseq = refseq,
         gff3 = gff3,
         annot = annot,
         outdir = outdir)

plotMutAnno

Plot the mutation statistics after annotating the “nucmer” object by “indelSNP” function.

data("covid_annot")
covid_annot <- as.data.frame(covid_annot)
#outdir <- tempdir()
plotMutAnno(results = covid_annot,figureType = "MostMut", outdir = outdir)

nucmerRMD

Preprocess “nucmer” object to add group information.

data("nucmer")
data("chinalist")
outdir <- tempdir()
nucmerRMD(nucmer = nucmer, outdir = outdir, chinalist = chinalist)

globalSNPprofile

Global SNP profiling in virus genome

Note: In order to get a better global SNP profile, the “nucmerr” data is obtained from 150000 mutation sites downsampled from the “nucmer” object(which is for 37527 samples, not for 5465 samples in the “nucmer” example data).

data("nucmerr")
outdir <- tempdir()
globalSNPprofile(nucmerr = nucmerr, outdir = outdir, figure_Type = "heatmap")

mutStat

Plot mutation statistics for nucleiotide.

If the figure type is “TopCountryMut”, “mutpos” can specify a range of genomic position(eg. 28831:28931) for plot.

outdir <- tempdir()
mutStat(nucmerr = nucmerr,
        outdir = ".",
        figure_Type = "TopMuSample",
        type_top = 10,
        country = FALSE,
        mutpos = NULL)

AssayMutRatio

Calculate the mutation detection rate using different assays

data("assays")
Total <- 11000 ## Total Cleared GISAID fasta data, sekitseq
outdir <- tempdir()
#Output the results
AssayMutRatio(nucmerr = nucmerr,
              assays = assays,
              totalsample = Total,
              plotType = "logtrans",
              outdir = outdir)

MutByGene

Plot mutation counts for certain genes

data("gene_position")
outdir <- tempdir()
MutByGene(nucmerr = nucmerr, gff3 = gene_position, figurelist = TRUE, outdir = outdir)

#if figurelist = TRUE, the recommendation for figure display(in pixel)is: width=1650, height=1300
