atSNP: affinity tests for regulatory SNP detection
2019-05-02
Contents
1 Introduction
This document provides an introduction to the affinity test for large sets of SNP-motif interactions using the atSNP package(affinity test for regulatory SNP detection) (Zuo, Shin, and Keles 2015). atSNP implements in-silico methods for identifying SNPs that potentially may affect binding affinity of transcription factors. Given a set of SNPs and a library of motif position weight matrices (PWMs), atSNP provides two main functions for analyzing SNP effects:
- Computing the binding affinity score for each allele and each PWM and the p-values for the allele-specific binding affinity scores.
- Computing the p-values for affinity score changes between the two alleles for each SNP.
atSNP implements the importance sampling algorithm in Chan, Zhang, and Chen (2010) to compute the p-values. Compared to other bioinformatics tools, such as FIMO (Grant, Bailey, and Nobel 2011) and is-rSNP (Macintyre et al. 2010) that provide similar functionalities, atSNP avoids computing the p-values analytically. In one of our research projects, we have used atSNP to evaluate interactions between 26K SNPs and 2K motifs within 5 hours. We found no other existing tools can finish the analysis of such a scale.
2 Installation
atSNP depends on the following packages:
- data.table is used for formatting results that are easy for users to query.
- BiocParallel is used for parallel computation.
- GenomicRanges is used for operating genomic intervals.
- motifStack is relied upon to draw sequence logo plots.
- Rcpp interfaces the C++ codes that implements the importance sampling algorithm.
In addition, users need to install the annotation package BSgenome from http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/3.0/data/annotation/ that corresponds to the species type and genome version. Our example SNP data set in the subsequent sections corresponds to the hg38 version of human genome. If users wish to annotate the SNP location and allele information given their rs ids, they also need to install the corresponding SNPlocs package. Notice that the annotation packages are usually large and this installation step may take a substantial amount of time.
3 Example
3.1 Load the motif library
atSNP includes two motif libraries in the package: the ENCODE derived motif library, and the JASPAR database motif library. In addition, atSNP can load user defined motif libraries in a variety of formats.
3.1.1 ENCODE derived motif library
atSNP provides a default motif library downloaded from http://compbio.mit.edu/encode-motifs/motifs.txt. This library contains 2065 known and discovered motifs from ENCODE TF ChIP-seq data sets. The following commands allow to load this motif library:

## "Arnt"3.1.3 User defined motif library
Users can also provide a list of PWMs as the motif library via the LoadMotifLibrary function. In this function, ‘tag’ specifies the string that marks the start of each block of PWM; ‘skiprows’ is the number of description lines before the PWM; ‘skipcols’ is the number of columns to be skipped in the PWM matrix; ‘transpose’ is TRUE if the PWM has 4 rows representing A, C, G, T or FALSE if otherwise; ‘field’ is the position of the motif name within the description line; ‘sep’ is a vector of separators in the PWM; ‘pseudocount’ is the number added to the raw matrices, recommended to be 1 if the matrices are in fact position frequency matrices. These arguments provide the flexibility of loading a number of varying formatted files. The PWMs are returned as a list object. This function flexibly adapts to a variety of different formats. Some examples using online accessible files from other research groups are shown below.

sep = c(">", "\t", " "), pseudocount = 1)3.2 Load the SNP Data
atSNP can load the SNP data in three formats: a table including full SNP information, a list of dbSNP’s rsids, and a pair of fasta files.
3.2.1 Load SNP data through a table
In this case, the table that provides the SNP information must include five columns:
- chr: the chromosome ID;
- snp: the genome coordinate of the SNP;
- snpid: the string for the SNP name;
- a1, a2: nucleotides for the two alleles at the SNP position.
This data set can be loaded using the LoadSNPData function. The ‘genome.lib’ argument specifies the annotation package name corresponding to the SNP data set, such as ‘BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38’. Each side of the SNP is extended by a number of base pairs specified by the ‘half.window.size’ argument. LoadSNPData extracts the genome sequence within such windows around each SNP using the ‘genome.lib’ package. An example is the following:
The following codes generate a synthetic SNP data and loads it back in :
data(example)
write.table(snp_tbl, file = "test_snp_file.txt",
row.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE)
snp_info <- LoadSNPData("test_snp_file.txt", genome.lib = "BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38", half.window.size = 30, default.par = TRUE, mutation = FALSE)
ncol(snp_info$sequence) == nrow(snp_tbl)
snp_info$rsid.rmThere are two important arguments in function LoadSNPData. First, the ‘mutation’ argument specifies whether the data set is related to SNP or general single nucleotide mutation. By default, ‘mutation=FALSE’. In this case, LoadSNPData get the nucleotides on the reference genome based on the genome coordinates specified by ‘chr’ and ‘snp’ and match them to ‘a1’ and ‘a2’ alleles from the BSgenome package. ‘a1’ and ‘a2’ nucleotides are assigned to the refrence or the SNP allele based on which one matches to the reference nucleotide. If neither allele matches to the reference nucleotide, the corresponding row in the SNP information file is discarded. These discarded SNPs are captured by the ‘rsid.rm’ field in the output. Alternatively, if ‘mutation=TRUE’, no row is discarded. LoadSNPData takes the reference sequences around the SNP locations, replaces the reference nucleotides at the SNP locations by ‘a1’ nucleotides to construct the ‘reference’ sequences, and by ‘a2’ nucleotides to construct the ‘SNP’ sequences. Notice that in this case, in the subsequent analysis, whenever we refer to the ‘reference’ or the ‘SNP’ allele, it actually means the ‘a1’ or the ‘a2’ allele.
mutation_info <- LoadSNPData("test_snp_file.txt", genome.lib = "BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38", half.window.size = 30, default.par = TRUE, mutation = TRUE)
ncol(mutation_info$sequence) == nrow(snp_tbl)
file.remove("test_snp_file.txt")Second, the ‘default.par’ argument specifies how to estimate the first order Markov model parameters. If ‘default.par = FALSE’, LoadSNPData simultaneously estimates the parameters for the first order Markov model in the reference genome using the nucleotides within the SNP windows. Otherwise, it loads a set of parameter values pre-fitted from sequences around all the SNPs in the NHGRI GWAS catalog (Hindorff et al. 2009). We recommend setting ‘default.par = TRUE’ when we have fewer than 1000 SNPs. LoadSNPData returns a list object with five fields:
- sequence_matrix: a matrix with (2*‘half.window.size’ + 1), with each column corresponding to one SNP. The entries 1-4 represent the A, C, G, T nucleotides.
- ref_base: a vector coding the reference allele nucleotides for all SNPs.
- snp_base: a vector coding the SNP allele nucleotides for all SNPs.
- prior: the stationary distribution parameters for the Markov model.
- transition: the transition matrix for the first order Markov model.
3.2.2 Load SNP data through dbSNP’s rsids
LoadSNPData also allows users to load a list of rsids for the SNPs. In this case, the function looks up the SNP location and the allele information using the annotation package specified by ‘snp.lib’, such as ‘SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP144.GRCh38’.
snp_info1 <- LoadSNPData(snpids = c("rs5050", "rs616488", "rs11249433", "rs182799", "rs12565013", "rs11208590"), genome.lib ="BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38", snp.lib = "SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP144.GRCh38", half.window.size = 30, default.par = TRUE, mutation = FALSE)LoadSNPData may warn about the SNPs with inconsistent information and returns them in the output. The ‘rsid.missing’ output field captures SNPs that are not included in the SNPlocs package. The ‘rsid.duplicate’ output field captures SNPs with more than 2 alleles based on SNPlocs package. The ‘rsid.rm’ output field captures SNPs whose nucleotides in the reference genome do not match to either allele provided by the data source. SNPs in the ‘rsid.missing’ and ‘rsid.rm’ fields are discarded. For SNPs in ‘rsid.duplicate’, we extract all pairs of alleles as reference and SNP pairs. If ‘mutation=TRUE’, we include all of them in the output. If ‘mutation=FALSE’, these pairs are further filtered based on whether one allele matches to the reference genome nucleotide. The remaining alleles are contained in the output.
3.2.3 Load SNP data through a pair of fasta files
Users can also provide SNP data through a pair of fasta files, one for the sequences around the SNP location for each allele. An example of such files is at http://pages.stat.wisc.edu/~keles/atSNP-Data/sample_1.fasta and http://pages.stat.wisc.edu/~keles/atSNP-Data/sample_2.fasta. We require that such a pair of fasta files must satisfy the following conditions:
- All sequences from both files must be of the same odd number of length.
- Sequences from the same position in each file are a pair of alleles. Their nucleotides must be the same except for the central nucleotide.
Such a pair of files can be loaded by the function LoadFastaData:
snp_info2 <- LoadFastaData(ref.urlname="http://pages.stat.wisc.edu/~keles/atSNP-Data/sample_1.fasta", snp.urlname="http://pages.stat.wisc.edu/~keles/atSNP-Data/sample_2.fasta", default.par = TRUE)3.3 Affinity score tests
3.3.1 Load the example data
We use a toy example data set included in the package to introduce the usage of functions for affinity score tests.

The binding affinity scores for all pairs of SNP and PWM can be computed by the ComputeMotifScore function. It returns a list of two fields: ‘snp.tbl’ is a data.frame containing the nucleotide sequences for each SNP; ‘motif.scores’ is a data.frame containing the binding affinity scores for each SNP-motif pair.

The affinity score change is included in the log_lik_ratio column. These three affinity scores are tested in the subsequent steps. motif.scores also includes other columns for the position of the best matching subsequence on each allele. For a complete description on all these columns, users can look up the help documentation.
3.3.3 Compute p-values
After we have computed the binding affinity scores, they can be tested using the ComputePValues function. The result is a data.frame extending the affinity score table by six columns:
pval_ref: p-value for the reference allele affinity score.pval_snp: p-value for the SNP allele affinity score.pval_cond_refandpval_cond_snp: conditional p-values for the affinity scores of the reference and SNP alleles.pval_diff: p-value for the affinity score change between the two alleles.pval_rank: p-value for the rank test between the two alleles.
We recommend using pval_refand pval_snp for assessing the significance of allele specific affinity; and using pval_rank for assessing the significance of the SNP effect on the affinity change.

## 2 rs7412 MYC_disc1 0.3359616 0.3539853 0.80349693.3.4 Multiple testing adjustment
We can apply multiple testing adjustment to the p-values. atSNP does not implement any multiple testing adjustment internally. Users have the flexibility of choosing an adjustment method based on their specific application. For example, if we want to adjust pval_rank from all pairs of SNP-PWM pairs using the Benjamini-Hochberg’s procedure, we may compute:
## snpid motif pval_rank pval_rank_bh
## 1 rs53576 MYC_disc1 0.6000142 0.8000190
## 2 rs7412 MYC_disc1 0.8034969 0.8034969

## 4 rs7412 SIX5_disc1 0.3302668 0.6605336Alternatively, if we want to compute Storey’s q-values, we may utilize the qvalue package from :
library(qvalue)
qval_rank = qvalue(atsnp.result$pval_rank)$qvalues
atsnp.result = cbind(atsnp.result, qval_rank)3.4 Additional analysis
atSNP provides additional functions to extract the matched nucleotide subsequences that match to the motifs. The function MatchSubsequence adds the subsequence matches to the affinity score table by using the motif library and the SNP set. The subsequences matching to the motif in the two alleles are returned in the ref_match_seq and snp_match_seq columns. The ‘IUPAC’ column returns the IUPAC letters of the motifs. Notice that if you have a large number of SNPs and motifs, the returned table can be very large.
match.subseq_result <- MatchSubsequence(snp.tbl = atsnp.scores$snp.tbl, motif.scores = atsnp.result, motif.lib = motif_library, snpids = c("rs53576", "rs7412"), motifs = names(motif_library)[1], ncores = 1)
