This package provides a thin wrapper around Rlabkey
and connects to the ImmuneSpace database, making it easier to fetch datasets, including gene expression data, HAI, and so forth, from specific studies.
In order to connect to ImmuneSpace, you will need a netrc file in your home directory.
Set up your netrc file now!
If you’re not familiar with the command-line interface, there is the interactive_netrc()
function to set up your netrc file. See the interactive_netrc
vignette.
Or create netrc file in the computer running R:
.netrc
_netrc
Sys.getenv("HOME")
in RThe following three lines must be included in the .netrc
or _netrc
file either separated by white space (spaces, tabs, or newlines) or commas.
machine www.immunespace.org
login myUser@mySite.com
password superSecretPassword
Multiple such blocks can exist in one file. Please ensure that the machine name in the netrc file contains the “www” prefix as that is how the package connects to immunespace by default. A mismatch will lead to connection failures.
See the official LabKey documentation for more information.
We’ll be looking at study SDY269
. If you want to use a different study, change that string. The connections have state, so you can instantiate multiple connections to different studies simultaneously.
## <ImmuneSpaceConnection>

## - fcs_analyzed_result
## - fcs_sample_files
## - gene_expression_files

## 2 Available Expression Matrices
The call to CreateConnection
instantiates the connection. Printing the object shows where it’s connected, to what study, and the available data sets and gene expression matrices.
Note that when a script is running on ImmuneSpace, some variables set in the global environments will automatically indicate which study should be used and the study
argument can be skipped.
We can grab any of the datasets listed in the connection.

The sdy269 object is an R6 class, so it behaves like a true object. Methods (like getDataset
) are members of the object, thus the $
semantics to access member functions.
The first time you retrieve a dataset, it will contact the database. The data is cached in the object, so the next time you call getDataset
on the same dataset, it will retrieve the cached local copy. This is much faster.
To get only a subset of the data and speed up the download, filters can be passed to getDataset
. The filters are created using the makeFilter
function of the Rlabkey
package.
library(Rlabkey)
myFilter <- makeFilter(c("gender", "EQUAL", "Female"))
hai <- sdy269$getDataset("hai", colFilter = myFilter)
See ?Rlabkey::makeFilter
for more information on the syntax.
For more information about getDataset
’s options, refer to the dedicated vignette.
We can also grab a gene expression matrix

## Annotation:
The object contacts the database and downloads the matrix file. This is stored and cached locally as a data.table
. The next time you access it, it will be much faster since it won’t need to contact the database again.
It is also possible to call this function using multiple matrix names. In this case, all the matrices are downloaded and combined into a single ExpressionSet
.

If the connection was created with verbose = TRUE
, some methods will display additional informations such as the valid dataset names.
A plot of a dataset can be generated using the plot
method which automatically chooses the type of plot depending on the selected dataset.
However, the type
argument can be used to manually select from “boxplot”, “heatmap”, “violin” and “line”.
To fetch data from multiple studies, simply create a connection at the project level.
This will instantiate a connection at the Studies
level. Most functions work cross study connections just like they do on single studies.
You can get a list of datasets and gene expression matrices available accross all studies.

In cross-study connections, getDataset
and getGEMatrix
will combine the requested datasets or expression matrices. See the dedicated vignettes for more information.
Likewise, plot
will visualize accross studies. Note that in most cases the datasets will have too many cohorts/subjects, making the filtering of the data a necessity. The colFilter
argument can be used here, as described in the getDataset
section.
plotFilter <- makeFilter(
c("cohort", "IN", "TIV 2010;TIV Group 2008"),
c("study_time_collected", "EQUALS", "7")
)
con$plot("elispot", filter = plotFilter)
The figure above shows the ELISPOT results for two different years of TIV vaccine cohorts from two different studies.
