This package contains a SummarizedExperiment from the Yu et al. (2013) paper that performed the rat BodyMap across 11 organs and 4 developmental stages. Raw FASTQ files were downloaded and mapped using STAR. Data is available on ExperimentHub as a data package.
bodymapRat 1.25.0
The bodymapRat package contains gene expression
data on 652 RNA-Seq samples from a comprehensive rat
transcriptomic BodyMap study. These samples include
the sequence identifier information provided in the
header of the FASTQ files which can be used as a
surrogate for batch. These samples have not been
normalized or pre-processed.
The data are provided in a SummarizedExperiment. The
phenotypic information can be extracted using the
colData() function and a description of the phenotypic
data is listed in the table below:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| sraExperiment | SRA Experiment ID |
| title | Title of sample provided by the authors |
| geoAccession | GEO Accession ID |
| BioSample | BioSample ID |
| avgLength | Average read length |
| instrument | Machine identifier (from FASTQ header) |
| runID | Run ID (from FASTQ header) |
| fcID | Flow cell ID (from FASTQ header) |
| fcLane | Flow cell lane (from FASTQ header) |
| tile | Tile (from FASTQ header) |
| xtile | xtile (from FASTQ header) |
| ytile | ytile (from FASTQ header) |
| organ | Body organ |
| sex | Gender |
| stage | Stage |
| techRep | Technical replicate number |
| colOrgan | Column of colors to help with plotting |
| rnaRIN | RIN number |
| barcode | barcode number |
The data can be accessed as follows:
library(SummarizedExperiment)
library(bodymapRat)
We use the bodymapRat() function to download the
relevant files from Bioconductor’s
ExperimentHub web
resource. Running this function will download a
SummarizedExperiment object, which contains read counts, as
well as the metadata on the rows (genes) and columns (cells).
