Data import functions for several formats are provided and intermediate or final results can also be saved or exported. These capabilities are presented below. \section{Data input} \paragraph{Raw data} Data stored in one of the published \texttt{XML}-based formats. i.e. \texttt{mzXML} \cite{Pedrioli2004}, \texttt{mzData} \cite{Orchard2007} or \texttt{mzML} \cite{Martens2010}, can be imported with the \Rfunction{readMSData} method, which makes use of the \Biocpkg{mzR} package to create \Robject{MSnExp} objects. The files can be in profile or centroided mode. See \Rfunction{?readMSData} for details. \paragraph{Peak lists} Peak lists in the \texttt{mgf} format\footnote{\url{http://www.matrixscience.com/help/data\_file\_help.html\#GEN}} can be imported using the \Rfunction{readMgfData}. In this case, the peak data has generally been pre-processed by other software. See \Rfunction{?readMgfData} for details. \paragraph{Quantitation data} Third party software can be used to generate quantitative data and exported as a spreadsheet (generally comma or tab separated format). This data as well as any additional meta-data can be imported with the \Rfunction{readMSnSet} function. See \Rfunction{?readMSnSet} for details. \Biocpkg{MSnbase} also supports the \texttt{mzTab} format\footnote{\url{http://code.google.com/p/mztab/}}, a light-weight, tab-delimited file format for proteomics data developed within the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI). \texttt{mzTab} files can be read into \R with \Rfunction{readMzTabData} to create and \Robject{MSnSet} instance. \begin{figure}[!htb] %% input \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture}[node distance = 2cm, auto] % Place nodes \node [input] (raw) {Raw data in an open \texttt{XML} format}; \node [fun, left of=raw, node distance=4cm] (readMSData) {\Rfunction{readMSData}}; \node [input, below of=raw] (mgf) {Peak list in \texttt{mgf} format}; \node [fun, left of=mgf, node distance=4cm] (readMgfData) {\Rfunction{readMgfData}}; \node [input, below of=mgf] (spreadsheet) {Quantitation data as a spreadsheet}; \node [input, below of=spreadsheet] (mztab) {\texttt{mzTab} format}; \node [fun, left of=spreadsheet, node distance=4cm] (readMSnSet) {\Rfunction{readMSnSet}}; \node [fun, left of=mztab, node distance=4cm] (readMzTabData) {\Rfunction{readMzTabData}}; \node [obj, left of=readMSData, yshift=-2.5mm, node distance=4cm] (MSnExp) {\Robject{MSnExp}}; \node [obj, left of=readMSnSet, node distance=4cm] (MSnSet) {\Robject{MSnSet}}; \node [fun, below of=MSnExp] (quantify) {\Rfunction{quantify}}; % Background \begin{pgfonlayer}{background} \node [fill=yellow!20,rounded corners, draw=black!50, dashed, fit=(MSnExp) (quantify) (MSnSet)] {}; \end{pgfonlayer} % Draw edges \draw (raw) -- (readMSData); \draw (mgf) -- (readMgfData); \draw (spreadsheet) -- (readMSnSet); \draw [->] (readMSData) -- (MSnExp); \draw [->] (readMgfData) -- (MSnExp); \draw [->] (readMSnSet) -- (MSnSet); \draw (MSnExp) -- (quantify); \draw [->] (quantify) -- (MSnSet); \draw (mztab) -- (readMzTabData); \draw [->] (readMzTabData) -- (MSnSet); \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Illustration of \texttt{MSnbase} input capabilities.

The blue boxes represent different disk storage formats.} \label{fig:input} \end{center} \end{figure} \section{Data output} \paragraph{RData files} \R objects can most easily be stored on disk with the \Rfunction{save} function. It creates compressed binary images of the data representation that can later be read back from the file with the \Rfunction{load} function. \paragraph{Peak lists} \Robject{MSnExp} instances as well as individual spectra can be written as \texttt{mgf} files with the \Rfunction{writeMgfData} method. Note that the meta-data in the original \R object can not be included in the file. See \Rfunction{?writeMgfData} for details. \paragraph{Quantitation data} Quantitation data can be exported to spreadsheet files with the \Rfunction{write.exprs} method. Feature meta-data can be appended to the feature intensity values. See \Rfunction{?writeMgfData} for details. \Robject{MSnSet} instances can also be exported to \texttt{mzTab} files using the \Rfunction{writeMzTabData} function. \begin{figure}[!htb] %% out \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture}[node distance = 2cm, auto] % Place nodes \node [input] (raw) {Raw data in an open \texttt{XML} format}; \node [input, below of=raw] (mgf) {Peak list in \texttt{mgf} format}; \node [fun, right of=mgf, node distance=4cm, yshift=1cm] (writeMgfData) {\Rfunction{writeMgfData}}; \node [input, below of=mgf] (spreadsheet) {Quantitation data as a spreadsheet}; \node [input, below of=spreadsheet] (mztab) {\texttt{mzTab} format}; \node [fun, right of=spreadsheet, node distance=4cm] (writeexprs) {\Rfunction{write.exprs}}; \node [fun, right of=mztab, node distance=4cm] (writeMzTabData) {\Rfunction{writeMzTabData}}; \node [obj, right of=writeMgfData, yshift=1.25cm, node distance=4cm] (MSnExp) {\Robject{MSnExp}}; \node [obj, right of=writeexprs, node distance=4cm] (MSnSet) {\Robject{MSnSet}}; \node [fun, below of=MSnExp] (quantify) {\Rfunction{quantify}}; % Background \begin{pgfonlayer}{background} \node [fill=yellow!20,rounded corners, draw=black!50, dashed, fit=(MSnExp) (quantify) (MSnSet)] {}; \end{pgfonlayer} % Draw edges \draw (MSnExp) -- (writeMgfData); \draw [->] (writeMgfData) -- (mgf); \draw (MSnSet) -- (writeexprs); \draw [->] (writeexprs) -- (spreadsheet); \draw (MSnExp) -- (quantify); \draw [->] (quantify) -- (MSnSet); \draw (MSnSet) -- (writeMzTabData); \draw [->] (writeMzTabData) -- (mztab); \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Illustration of \texttt{MSnbase} output capabilities.

This entry point into \R and \Biocpkg{MSnbase} allows to import data processed by any of the third party mass-spectrometry processing software available and proceed with data exploration, normalisation and statistical analysis using functions available in \R and the numerous Bioconductor packages. \subsection{A complete work flow} The following section describes a work flow that uses three input files to create the \Robject{MSnSet}. These files respectively describe the quantitative expression data, the sample meta-data and the feature meta-data. It is taken from the \Biocpkg{pRoloc} tutorial and uses example files from the \Biocpkg{pRolocdata} package. \subsubsection{The original data file}\label{sec:orgcsv} We start by describing the \texttt{csv} to be used as input using the \Rfunction{read.csv} function. <>= ## The original data for replicate 1, available ## from the pRolocdata package f0 <- dir(system.file("extdata", package = "pRolocdata"), full.names = TRUE, pattern = "pr800866n_si_004-rep1.csv") csv <- read.csv(f0) @ The three first lines of the original spreadsheet, containing the data for replicate one, are illustrated below (using the function \Rfunction{head}). It contains \Sexpr{nrow(csv)} rows (proteins) and \Sexpr{ncol(csv)} columns, including protein identifiers, database accession numbers, gene symbols, reporter ion quantitation values, information related to protein identification, \ldots <>= head(csv, n=3) @ Below read in turn the spread sheets that contain the quantitation data (\texttt{exprsFile.csv}), feature meta-data (\texttt{fdataFile.csv}) and sample meta-data (\texttt{pdataFile.csv}). <>= ## The quantitation data, from the original data f1 <- dir(system.file("extdata", package = "pRolocdata"), full.names = TRUE, pattern = "exprsFile.csv") exprsCsv <- read.csv(f1) ## Feature meta-data, from the original data f2 <- dir(system.file("extdata", package = "pRolocdata"), full.names = TRUE, pattern = "fdataFile.csv") fdataCsv <- read.csv(f2) ## Sample meta-data, a new file f3 <- dir(system.file("extdata", package = "pRolocdata"), full.names = TRUE, pattern = "pdataFile.csv") pdataCsv <- read.csv(f3) @ \begin{description} \item[\texttt{exprsFile.csv}] containing the quantitation (expression) data for the \Sexpr{nrow(exprsCsv)} proteins and 4 reporter tags. <>= head(exprsCsv, n=3) @ \item[\texttt{fdataFile.csv}] containing meta-data for the \Sexpr{nrow(fdataCsv)} features (here proteins). <>= head(fdataCsv, n=3) @ \item[\texttt{pdataFile.csv}] containing samples (here fractions) meta-data. This simple file has been created manually. <>= pdataCsv @ \end{description} The self-contained \Robject{MSnSet} can now easily be generated using the \Rfunction{readMSnSet} constructor, providing the respective \texttt{csv} file names shown above and specifying that the data is comma-separated (with \Robject{sep = ","}). Below, we call that object \Robject{res} and display its content. <>= library("MSnbase") res <- readMSnSet(exprsFile = f1, featureDataFile = f2, phenoDataFile = f3, sep = ",") res @ \subsubsection{The \Robject{MSnSet} class} Although there are additional specific sub-containers for additional meta-data (for instance to make the object MIAPE compliant), the feature (the sub-container, or slot \Robject{featureData}) and sample (the \Robject{phenoData} slot) are the most important ones. They need to meet the following validity requirements (see figure \ref{fig:msnset}): \begin{itemize} \item the number of row in the expression/quantitation data and feature data must be equal and the row names must match exactly, and \item the number of columns in the expression/quantitation data and number of row in the sample meta-data must be equal and the column/row names must match exactly. \end{itemize} A detailed description of the \Robject{MSnSet} class is available by typing \Rfunction{?MSnSet} in the \R console. \begin{figure}[!hbt] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{msnset.png} \caption{Dimension requirements for the respective expression, feature and sample meta-data slots. } \label{fig:msnset} \end{figure} The individual parts of this data object can be accessed with their respective accessor methods: \begin{itemize} \item the quantitation data can be retrieved with \Rfunction{exprs(res)}, \item the feature meta-data with \Rfunction{fData(res)} and \item the sample meta-data with \Rfunction{pData(res)}. \end{itemize} \subsection{A shorter work flow} The \Rfunction{readMSnSet2} function provides a simplified import workforce. It takes a single spreadsheet as input (default is \texttt{csv}) and extract the columns identified by \Robject{ecol} to create the expression data, while the others are used as feature meta-data. \Robject{ecol} can be a \Robject{character} with the respective column labels or a numeric with their indices. In the former case, it is important to make sure that the names match exactly. Special characters like \texttt{'-'} or \texttt{'('} will be transformed by \R into \texttt{'.'} when the \texttt{csv} file is read in. Optionally, one can also specify a column to be used as feature names. Note that these must be unique to guarantee the final object validity. <>= ecol <- paste("area", 114:117, sep = ".") fname <- "Protein.ID" eset <- readMSnSet2(f0, ecol, fname) eset @ The \texttt{ecol} columns can also be queried interactively from \R using the \Rfunction{getEcols} and \Rfunction{grepEcols} function. The former return a character with all column names, given a splitting character, i.e. the separation value of the spreadsheet (typically \texttt{","} for \texttt{csv}, \texttt{"\t"} for \texttt{tsv}, ...). The latter can be used to grep a pattern of interest to obtain the relevant column indices. <>= getEcols(f0, ",") grepEcols(f0, "area", ",") e <- grepEcols(f0, "area", ",") readMSnSet2(f0, e) @ The \Robject{phenoData} slot can now be updated accordingly using the replacement functions \Rfunction{phenoData<-} or\Rfunction{pData<-} (see \Rfunction{?MSnSet} for details). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% section %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Session information} \label{sec:sessionInfo} <>= toLatex(sessionInfo()) @ \bibliography{MSnbase} \end{document}
