pathview: Pathway based data integration and visualization

In BowenNCSU/pathview: a tool set for pathway based data integration and visualization

Description

Pathview is a tool set for pathway based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders user data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their gene or compound data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. Pathview generates both native KEGG view and Graphviz views for pathways. keggview.native and keggview.graph are the two viewer functions, and pathview is the main function providing a unified interface to downloader, parser, mapper and viewer functions.

Arguments

gene.data	either vector (single sample) or a matrix-like data (multiple sample). Vector should be numeric with gene IDs as names or it may also be character of gene IDs. Character vector is treated as discrete or count data. Matrix-like data structure has genes as rows and samples as columns. Row names should be gene IDs. Here gene ID is a generic concepts, including multiple types of gene, transcript and protein uniquely mappable to KEGG gene IDs. KEGG ortholog IDs are also treated as gene IDs as to handle metagenomic data. Check details for mappable ID types. Default gene.data=NULL. numeric, character, continuous
cpd.data	the same as gene.data, excpet named with IDs mappable to KEGG compound IDs. Over 20 types of IDs included in CHEMBL database can be used here. Check details for mappable ID types. Default cpd.data=NULL. Note that gene.data and cpd.data can't be NULL simultaneously.
pathway.id	character vector, the KEGG pathway ID(s), usually 5 digit, may also include the 3 letter KEGG species code.
species	character, either the kegg code, scientific name or the common name of the target species. This applies to both pathway and gene.data or cpd.data. When KEGG ortholog pathway is considered, species="ko". Default species="hsa", it is equivalent to use either "Homo sapiens" (scientific name) or "human" (common name).
kegg.dir	character, the directory of KEGG pathway data file (.xml) and image file (.png). Users may supply their own data files in the same format and naming convention of KEGG's (species code + pathway id, e.g. hsa04110.xml, hsa04110.png etc) in this directory. Default kegg.dir="." (current working directory).
cpd.idtype	character, ID type used for the cpd.data. Default cpd.idtype="kegg" (include compound, glycan and drug accessions).
gene.idtype	character, ID type used for the gene.data, case insensitive. Default gene.idtype="entrez", i.e. Entrez Gene, which are the primary KEGG gene ID for many common model organisms. For other species, gene.idtype should be set to "KEGG" as KEGG use other types of gene IDs. For the common model organisms (to check the list, do: data(bods); bods), you may also specify other types of valid IDs. To check the ID list, do: data(gene.idtype.list); gene.idtype.list.
gene.annotpkg	character, the name of the annotation package to use for mapping between other gene ID types including symbols and Entrez gene ID. Default gene.annotpkg=NULL.
min.nnodes	integer, minimal number of nodes of type "gene","enzyme", "compound" or "ortholog" for a pathway to be considered. Default min.nnodes=3.
kegg.native	logical, whether to render pathway graph as native KEGG graph (.png) or using graphviz layout engine (.pdf). Default kegg.native=TRUE.
map.null	logical, whether to map the NULL gene.data or cpd.data to pathway. When NULL data are mapped, the gene or compound nodes in the pathway will be rendered as actually mapped nodes, except with NA-valued color. When NULL data are not mapped, the nodes are rendered as unmapped nodes. This argument mainly affects native KEGG graph view, i.e. when kegg.native=TRUE. Default map.null=TRUE.
expand.node	logical, whether the multiple-gene nodes are expanded into single-gene nodes. Each expanded single-gene nodes inherits all edges from the original multiple-gene node. This option only affects graphviz graph view, i.e. when kegg.native=FALSE. This option is not effective for most metabolic pathways where it conflits with converting reactions to edges. Default expand.node=FLASE.
split.group	logical, whether split node groups are split to individual nodes. Each split member nodes inherits all edges from the node group. This option only affects graphviz graph view, i.e. when kegg.native=FALSE. This option also effects most metabolic pathways even without group nodes defined orginally. For these pathways, genes involved in the same reaction are grouped automatically when converting reactions to edges unless split.group=TRUE. d split.group=FLASE.
map.symbol	logical, whether map gene IDs to symbols for gene node labels or use the graphic name from the KGML file. This option is only effective for kegg.native=FALSE or same.layer=FALSE when kegg.native=TRUE. For same.layer=TRUE when kegg.native=TRUE, the native KEGG labels will be kept. Default map.symbol=TRUE.
map.cpdname	logical, whether map compound IDs to formal names for compound node labels or use the graphic name from the KGML file (KEGG compound accessions). This option is only effective for kegg.native=FALSE. When kegg.native=TRUE, the native KEGG labels will be kept. Default map.cpdname=TRUE.
node.sum	character, the method name to calculate node summary given that multiple genes or compounds are mapped to it. Poential options include "sum","mean", "median", "max", "max.abs" and "random". Default node.sum="sum".
discrete	a list of two logical elements with "gene" and "cpd" as the names. This argument tells whether gene.data or cpd.data should be treated as discrete. Default dsicrete=list(gene=FALSE, cpd=FALSE), i.e. both data should be treated as continuous.
limit	a list of two numeric elements with "gene" and "cpd" as the names. This argument specifies the limit values for gene.data and cpd.data when converting them to pseudo colors. Each element of the list could be of length 1 or 2. Length 1 suggests discrete data or 1 directional (positive-valued) data, or the absolute limit for 2 directional data. Length 2 suggests 2 directional data. Default limit=list(gene=1, cpd=1).
bins	a list of two integer elements with "gene" and "cpd" as the names. This argument specifies the number of levels or bins for gene.data and cpd.data when converting them to pseudo colors. Default limit=list(gene=10, cpd=10).
both.dirs	a list of two logical elements with "gene" and "cpd" as the names. This argument specifies whether gene.data and cpd.data are 1 directional or 2 directional data when converting them to pseudo colors. Default limit=list(gene=TRUE, cpd=TRUE).
trans.fun	a list of two function (not character) elements with "gene" and "cpd" as the names. This argument specifies whether and how gene.data and cpd.data are transformed. Examples are log, abs or users' own functions. Default limit=list(gene=NULL, cpd=NULL).
low, mid, high	each is a list of two colors with "gene" and "cpd" as the names. This argument specifies the color spectra to code gene.data and cpd.data. When data are 1 directional (TRUE value in both.dirs), only mid and high are used to specify the color spectra. Default spectra (low-mid-high) "green"-"gray"-"red" and "blue"-"gray"-"yellow" are used for gene.data and cpd.data respectively. The values for 'low, mid, high' can be given as color names ('red'), plot color index (2=red), and HTML-style RGB, ("\#FF0000"=red).
na.col	color used for NA's or missing values in gene.data and cpd.data. d na.col="transparent".
...	extra arguments passed to keggview.native or keggview.graph function.

special arguments for keggview.native or keggview.graph function.

plot.data.gene	data.frame returned by node.map function for rendering mapped gene nodes, including node name, type, positions (x, y), sizes (width, height), and mapped gene.data. This data is also used as input for pseduo-color coding through node.color function. Default plot.data.gene=NULL.
plot.data.cpd	same as plot.data.gene function, except for mapped compound node data. d plot.data.cpd=NULL. Default plot.data.cpd=NULL. Note that plot.data.gene and plot.data.cpd can't be NULL simultaneously.
cols.ts.gene	vector or matrix of colors returned by node.color function for rendering gene.data. Dimensionality is the same as the latter. Default cols.ts.gene=NULL.

pathway.name	character, the full KEGG pathway name in the format of 3-letter species code with 5-digit pathway id, eg "hsa04612".
out.suffix	character, the suffix to be added after the pathway name as part of the output graph file. Sample names or column names of the gene.data or cpd.data are also added when there are multiple samples. Default out.suffix="pathview".
multi.state	logical, whether multiple states (samples or columns) gene.data or cpd.data should be integrated and plotted in the same graph. Default match.data=TRUE. In other words, gene or compound nodes will be sliced into multiple pieces corresponding to the number of states in the data.
match.data	logical, whether the samples of gene.data and cpd.data are paired. Default match.data=TRUE. When let sample sizes of gene.data and cpd.data be m and n, when m>n, extra columns of NA's (mapped to no color) will be added to cpd.data as to make the sample size the same. This will result in the smae number of slice in gene nodes and compound when multi.state=TRUE.
same.layer	logical, control plotting layers: 1) if node colors be plotted in the same layer as the pathway graph when kegg.native=TRUE, 2) if edge/node type legend be plotted in the same page when kegg.native=FALSE.
res	The nominal resolution in ppi which will be recorded in the bitmap file, if a positive integer. Also used for 'units' other than the default, and to convert points to pixels. This argument is only effective when kegg.native=TRUE. Default res=300.
cex	A numerical value giving the amount by which plotting text and symbols should be scaled relative to the default 1. Default cex=0.25 when kegg.native=TRUE, cex=0.5 when kegg.native=FALSE.

key.pos	character, controlling the position of color key(s). Potentail values are "bottomleft", "bottomright", "topleft" and "topright". d key.pos="topright".
sign.pos	character, controlling the position of pathview signature. Only effective when kegg.native=FALSE, Signature position is fixed in place of the original KEGG signature when kegg.native=TRUE. Potentail values are "bottomleft", "bottomright", "topleft" and "topright". d sign.pos="bottomright".
path.graph	a graph object parsed from KGML file, only effective when kegg.native=FALSE.
pdf.size	a numeric vector of length 2, giving the width and height of the pathway graph pdf file. Note that pdf width increase by half when same.layer=TRUE to accommodate legends. Only effective when kegg.native=FALSE. Default pdf.size=c(7,7).
rankdir	character, either "LR" (left to right) or "TB" (top to bottom), specifying the pathway graph layout direction. Only effective when kegg.native=FALSE. Default rank.dir="LR".
is.signal	logical, if the pathway is treated as a signaling pathway, where all the unconnected nodes are dropped. This argument also affect the graph layout type, i.e. "dot" for signals or "neato" otherwise. Only effective when kegg.native=FALSE. Default is.signal=TRUE.
afactor	numeric, node amplifying factor. This argument is for node size fine-tuning, its effect is subtler than expected. Only effective when kegg.native=FALSE. Default afctor=1.
text.width	numeric, specifying the line width for text wrap. Only effective when kegg.native= FALSE. Default text.width=15 (characters).
cpd.lab.offset	numeric, specifying how much compound labels should be put above the default position or node center. This argument is useful when map.cpdname=TRUE, i.e. compounds are labelled by full name, which affects the look of compound nodes and color. Only effective when kegg.native=FALSE. Default cpd.lab.offset=1.0.

Details

Pathview maps and renders user data on relevant pathway graphs. Pathview is a stand alone program for pathway based data integration and visualization. It also seamlessly integrates with pathway and functional analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis. Pathview provides strong support for data Integration. It works with: 1) essentially all types of biological data mappable to pathways, 2) over 10 types of gene or protein IDs, and 20 types of compound or metabolite IDs, 3) pathways for over 2000 species as well as KEGG orthology, 4) varoius data attributes and formats, i.e. continuous/discrete data, matrices/vectors, single/multiple samples etc. To see mappable external gene/protein IDs do: data(gene.idtype.list), to see mappable external compound related IDs do: data(rn.list); names(rn.list). Pathview generates both native KEGG view and Graphviz views for pathways. Currently only KEGG pathways are implemented. Hopefully, pathways from Reactome, NCI and other databases will be supported in the future.

Value

From viersion 1.9.3, pathview can accept either a single pathway or multiple pathway ids. The result returned by pathview function is a named list corresponding to the input pathway ids. Each element (for each pathway itself is a named list, with 2 elements ("plot.data.gene", "plot.data.cpd"). Both elements are data.frame or NULL depends on the corresponding input data gene.data and cpd.data. These data.frames record the plot data for mapped gene or compound nodes: rows are mapped genes/compounds, columns are:

kegg.names	standard KEGG IDs/Names for mapped nodes. It's Entrez Gene ID or KEGG Compound Accessions.
labels	Node labels to be used when needed.
all.mapped	All molecule (gene or compound) IDs mapped to this node.
type	node type, currently 4 types are supported: "gene","enzyme", "compound" and "ortholog".
x	x coordinate in the original KEGG pathway graph.
y	y coordinate in the original KEGG pathway graph.
width	node width in the original KEGG pathway graph.
height	node height in the original KEGG pathway graph.
other columns	columns of the mapped gene/compound data and corresponding pseudo-color codes for individual samples

The results returned by keggview.native and codekeggview.graph are both a list of graph plotting parameters. These are not intended to be used externally.
