ct.makeQCReport: Generate a QC report from a pooled CRISPR screen

In RussBainer/gCrisprTools: Suite of Functions for Pooled Crispr Screen QC and Analysis

Generate a QC report from a pooled CRISPR screen

Description

This is a function to generate an html QC report for a CRISPR screen, focusing on experiment-level and library-level analyses collected from other functions in gCrisprTools. It is designed to be used 'as-is', and analysts interested in using different functionalities of the various functions should do that outside of this wrapper script.

Usage

ct.makeQCReport(
  eset,
  trim,
  log2.ratio,
  sampleKey,
  annotation,
  aln,
  identifier = NULL,
  lib.size,
  geneSymb = NULL,
  outdir = NULL
)

Arguments

eset	An ExpressionSet object containing, at minimum, a matrix of gRNA abundances extractable with the exprs() function and some named phenodata extractable with pData().
trim	The number of gRNAs to be trimmed from the top of the distribution before estimating the abundance range. Empirically, this usually should be equal to about 2 to 5 percent of the guides in the library.
log2.ratio	Maximum abundance of contaminant gRNAs, expressed on the log2 scale from the top of the trimmed range of each sample. That is, log2.ratio = 4 means to discard all gRNAs whose abundance is (1/2)^4 of the trimmed maximum.
sampleKey	A sample key, supplied as an ordered factor linking the samples to experimental variables. The names attribute should exactly match those present in eset, and the control set is assumed to be the first level.
annotation	An annotation object for the experiment. See the man page for ct.prepareAnnotation for details and example format.
aln	A numeric alignment matrix, where rows correspond to 'targets', 'nomatch', 'rejections', and 'double_match', and where columns correspond to experimentasl samples. May be 'NULL', to suppress alignment evaluation.
identifier	A character string to name the report and corresponding subdirectories. If provided, the final report will be called 'identifier.html' and will be located in a directory called identifier. If NULL, a generic name including the timestamp will be generated.
lib.size	An optional vector of voom-appropriate library size adjustment factors, usually calculated with calcNormFactors and transformed to reflect the appropriate library size. These adjustment factors are interpreted as the total library sizes for each sample, and if absent will be extrapolated from the columnwise count sums of the exprs slot of the eset.
geneSymb	The geneSymbol identifier(s) in annotation that corresponds to gRNAs to be plotted on the curves. Passed through to ct.gRNARankByReplicate, ct.viewControls and ct.prepareAnnotation (as controls argument if it's not NULL). Default NULL.
outdir	An optional character string indicating the directory in which to generate the report. If NULL, a temporary directory will be automatically generated.

Value

The path to the generated html report.

Examples

data('es')
data('ann')
data('aln')

##' #Build the sample key
library(Biobase)
sk <- ordered(relevel(as.factor(pData(es)$TREATMENT_NAME), 'ControlReference'))
names(sk) <- row.names(pData(es))

path2report <- ct.makeQCReport(es, trim = 1000, log2.ratio = 0.0625, sk, ann, aln, identifier = NULL, lib.size = NULL, geneSymb = 'NoTarget', outdir = '.')
