About the template

This is a cheminformatics workflow template of the systemPipeRdata package, a companion package to systemPipeR [@H_Backman2016-bt]. Like other workflow templates, it can be loaded with a single command. Users have the flexibility to utilize the template as is or modify it as needed. More in-depth information on designing workflows can be found in the main vignette of systemPipeRdata. This template serves as a starting point for conducting structure similarity searching and clustering of small molecules. Most of its steps use functions of the ChemmineR package from Bioconductor. There are no command-line (CL) software tools required for running this workflow in its current form as all steps are based on R functions.

The Rmd file (SPcheminfo.Rmd) associated with this vignette serves a dual purpose. It acts both as a template for executing the workflow and as a template for generating a reproducible scientific analysis report. Thus, users want to customize the text (and/or code) of this vignette to describe their experimental design and analysis results. This typically involves deleting the instructions how to work with this workflow, and customizing the text describing experimental designs, other metadata and analysis results.

The following data analysis routines are included in this workflow template:

Workflow environment

The environment of the chosen workflow is generated with the genWorenvir function. After this, the user’s R session needs to be directed into the resulting directory (here SPcheminfo).

systemPipeRdata::genWorkenvir(workflow = "SPcheminfo", mydirname = "SPcheminfo")
setwd("SPcheminfo")

The SPRproject function initializes a new workflow project instance. This function call creates an empty SAL workflow container and at the same time a linked project log directory (default name .SPRproject) that acts as a flat-file database of a workflow. For additional details, please visit this section in systemPipeR's main vignette.

library(systemPipeR)
sal <- SPRproject()
sal

The importWF function allows to import all the workflow steps outlined in the source Rmd file of this vignette into a SAL (SYSargsList) workflow container. Once imported, the entire workflow can be executed from start to finish using the runWF function. More details regarding this process are provided in the following section here.

sal <- importWF(sal, "SPcheminfo.Rmd")
sal <- runWF(sal)

Step 1: Load packages

The first step loads the systemPipeR and ChemmineR packages.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        library(systemPipeR)
        library(ChemmineR)
    }, 
    step_name = "load_packages"
)

Step 2: Import molecule structures

This step imports 100 small molecule structures from an SDF file with the read.SDFset function. The structures are stored in an SDFset object, a class defined by the ChemmineR package.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        sdfset <- read.SDFset("https://cluster.hpcc.ucr.edu/~tgirke/Documents/R_BioCond/Samples/sdfsample.sdf") 
    }, 
    step_name = "load_data",
    dependency = "load_packages"
)

Step 3: Visualize molecule structures

The structures of selected molecules (here first four) are be visualized with the plot function.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        png("results/mols_plot.png", 700, 600)
        # Here only first 4 are plotted. Please choose the ones you want to plot.
        ChemmineR::plot(sdfset[1:4])
        dev.off()
    }, 
    step_name = "vis_mol", 
    dependency = "load_data",
    run_step = "optional"
)

Step 4: Physicochemical properties

Basic physicochemical properties are computed for the small molecules stored in sdfset. For this example atom frequencies, molecular weight and formula are computed. For more options users want to consult the vignette of the ChemmineR package.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        propma <- data.frame(MF=MF(sdfset), MW=MW(sdfset), atomcountMA(sdfset))
        readr::write_csv(propma, "results/basic_mol_info.csv")
    }, 
    step_name = "basic_mol_info", 
    dependency = "load_data",
    run_step = "optional"
)

Step 5: Box plots of properties

In this example, the extracted property data is visualized using a box plot.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        png("results/atom_req.png", 700, 700)
        boxplot(propma[, 3:ncol(propma)], col="#6cabfa", main="Atom Frequency")
        dev.off()
    }, 
    step_name = "mol_info_plot", 
    dependency = "basic_mol_info",
    run_step = "optional"
)

Step 6: Structural descriptors

For structural comparisons and searching, atom pairs and fingerprints are computed for the imported small molecules.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
         apset <- sdf2ap(sdfset)
         fpset <- desc2fp(apset, descnames=1024, type="FPset") 
         # The atom pairs and fingerprints can be saved to files.
         readr::write_rds(apset, "results/apset.rds")
         readr::write_rds(fpset, "results/fpset.rds")
    }, 
    step_name = "apfp_convert", 
    dependency = "load_data"
)

Step 7: Removal of identical fingerprint sets

Small molecules yielding identical fingerprints are removed in this step.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
         fpset <- fpset[which(!cmp.duplicated(apset))]
    }, 
    step_name = "fp_dedup", 
    dependency = "apfp_convert"
)

Step 8: Similarity compute

All-against-all similarity scores (here Tanimoto coefficients) are computed and stored in a similarity matrix.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
          simMAfp <- sapply(cid(fpset), function(x) fpSim(x=fpset[x], fpset, sorted=FALSE)) 
    }, 
    step_name = "fp_similarity", 
    dependency = "fp_dedup"
)

Step 9: Hierarchical clustering

The similarity matrix from the previous step can be used for clustering the small molecules by structural similarities. In the given example, hierarchical cluster is performed with the hclust function. Since this functions expects a distance matrix, the similarity matrix needs to be converted to a distance matrix using 1-simMAfp.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
          hc <- hclust(as.dist(1-simMAfp))
          png("results/hclust.png", 1000, 700)
          plot(as.dendrogram(hc), edgePar=list(col=4, lwd=2), horiz=TRUE) 
          dev.off()
          # to see the tree groupings, one need to cut the tree, for example, by height of 0.9
          tree_cut <- cutree(hc, h = 0.9)
          grouping <- tibble::tibble(
              cid = names(tree_cut),
              group_id = tree_cut
          ) 
          readr::write_csv(grouping, "results/hclust_grouping.csv")
    }, 
    step_name = "hclust", 
    dependency = "fp_similarity",
    run_step = "optional"
)

Step 10: PCA

Alternatively, PCA can be used to visualize the structural similarities among molecules.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        library(magrittr)
        library(ggplot2)
        mol_pca <- princomp(simMAfp)
        # find the variance 
        mol_pca_var <- mol_pca$sdev[1:2]^2 / sum(mol_pca$sdev^2)
        # plot 
        png("results/mol_pca.png", 650, 700)
        tibble::tibble(
              PC1 = mol_pca$loadings[, 1],
              PC2 = mol_pca$loadings[, 2],
              group_id = as.factor(grouping$group_id)
          ) %>% 
            # The following colors the by group labels.
            ggplot(aes(x = PC1, y = PC2, color = group_id)) + 
            geom_point(size = 2) +
            stat_ellipse() +
            labs(
                x = paste0("PC1 ", round(mol_pca_var[1], 3)*100, "%"),
                y = paste0("PC1 ", round(mol_pca_var[2], 3)*100, "%")
            ) +
            ggpubr::theme_pubr(base_size = 16) +
            scale_color_brewer(palette = "Set2")
        dev.off()
    }, 
    step_name = "PCA", 
    dependency = "hclust",
    run_step = "optional"
)

Step 11: Include heatmap

This step adds a heatmap to the above hierarchical clustering analysis. Heatmaps facilitate the identification of patterns in data, here similarity scores.

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        library(gplots) 
        png("results/mol_heatmap.png", 700, 700)
        heatmap.2(simMAfp, Rowv=as.dendrogram(hc), Colv=as.dendrogram(hc), 
             col=colorpanel(40, "darkblue", "yellow", "white"), 
             density.info="none", trace="none") 
        dev.off()
    }, 
    step_name = "heatmap", 
    dependency = "fp_similarity",
    run_step = "optional"
)

Version information

appendStep(sal) <- LineWise(
    code = {
        sessionInfo()
    }, 
    step_name = "wf_session", 
    dependency = "heatmap")

Automated routine {#importwf}

Once the above workflow steps have been loaded into sal from the source Rmd file of this vignette, the workflow can be executed from start to finish (or partially) with the runWF command. Subsequently, scientific and technical workflow reports can be generated with the renderReport and renderLogs functions, respectively.

Note: To demonstrate 'systemPipeR's' automation routines without regenerating a new workflow environment from scratch, the first line below uses the overwrite=TRUE option of the SPRproject function. This option is generally discouraged as it erases the existing workflow project and sal container. For information on resuming and restarting workflow runs, users want to consult the relevant section of the main vignette (see here.)

sal <- SPRproject(overwrite = TRUE) # Avoid 'overwrite=TRUE' in real runs.
sal <- importWF(sal, file_path = "SPcheminfo.Rmd") # Imports above steps from new.Rmd.
sal <- runWF(sal) # Runs ggworkflow.
plotWF(sal) # Plot toplogy graph of workflow
sal <- renderReport(sal) # Renders scientific report.
sal <- renderLogs(sal) # Renders technical report from log files.

CL tools used

The listCmdTools (and listCmdModules) return the CL tools that are used by a workflow. To include a CL tool list in a workflow report, one can use the following code. Additional details on this topic can be found in the main vignette here.

if(file.exists(file.path(".SPRproject", "SYSargsList.yml"))) {
    local({
        sal <- systemPipeR::SPRproject(resume = TRUE)
        systemPipeR::listCmdTools(sal)
        systemPipeR::listCmdModules(sal)
    })
} else {
    cat(crayon::blue$bold("Tools and modules required by this workflow are:\n"))
    cat(c("There are no CL steps in this workflow."), sep = "\n")
}

Session Info

This is the session information for rendering this R Markdown report. To access the session information for the workflow run, generate the technical HTML report with renderLogs.
