bioconductor-biomformat

This is an R package for interfacing with the BIOM format. This package includes basic tools for reading biom-format files, accessing and subsetting data tables from a biom object (which is more complex than a single table), as well as limi

Dependencies & Environment

Package-intrinsic requirements from the Bioconductor landing page — reproduce in any R environment.

  • Version: 1.40.0 · Bioconductor: 3.23 · R: ≥ 4.6
  • Imports: jsonlite, Matrix
  • Install: BiocManager::install("biomformat")

When to Use

  • Reading BIOM format files (JSON or HDF5) into R using read_biom().
  • Extracting core observation data (OTU tables) as sparse matrices using biom_data().
  • Converting BIOM objects to SummarizedExperiment objects using biom_to_SummarizedExperiment().
  • Constructing a BIOM object from standard R matrices and data frames using make_biom().
  • Converting BIOM data into a tidy long-format data frame for downstream analysis using as_tibble.biom().

When NOT to Use

  • For statistical analysis of microbiome data, use phyloseq or DESeq2 because biomformat is strictly an I/O and utility package.
  • For raw sequence processing, use dada2 because biomformat operates on already-constructed contingency tables.

Data Requirements

  • BIOM format files (v1 JSON or v2 HDF5).
  • For manual construction via make_biom(), a count matrix (features in rows, samples in columns) and optional data.frame objects for observation and sample metadata.

Key Parameters

  • data (default): The count matrix when using make_biom().
  • observation_metadata (default): Taxonomy or feature metadata data.frame when using make_biom().
  • matrix_element_type ("int"): The data type of the matrix elements in make_biom().
  • rows (default): Character vector to subset features directly in biom_data().
  • columns (default): Character vector to subset samples directly in biom_data().

Best Practices

  • Use read_biom() which automatically detects and routes HDF5 files to read_hdf5_biom().
  • Use as_tibble.biom() to convert data into a tidy long-format for downstream dplyr and purrr workflows.
  • For large datasets (>2GB), use write_hdf5_biom() instead of write_biom() to avoid JSON serialization limits.

Common Pitfalls

  • Attempting to print a massive BIOM object streams too much data; fix this by relying on the brief summary printed by default or using biom_data() to inspect subsets.
  • Functions expecting standard matrices fail on sparse matrix classes; fix this by coercing with as(biom_data(x), "matrix").
  • Writing very large tables with write_biom() fails due to JSON string limits; fix this by using write_hdf5_biom() for HDF5 format.

Alternatives

  • phyloseq: Has many more utilities for interacting with and analyzing this kind of data.
  • SummarizedExperiment: The standard Bioconductor container for rectangular feature-by-sample assay data (though biomformat interoperates with it).

概要と使いどころ

The package contains functions for exploratory oligonucleotide array analysis. The dependence on tkWidgets only concerns few convenience functions. 'affy' is fully functional without it.

ASURAT is a software for single-cell data analysis. Using ASURAT, one can simultaneously perform unsupervised clustering and biological interpretation in terms of cell type, disease, biological process, and signaling pathway activity. Inputting a single-cell RNA-seq data and knowledge-based databases, such as Cell Ontology, Gene Ontology, KEGG, etc., ASURAT transforms gene expression tables into original multivariate tables, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs).
