bioconductor-msa

The 'msa' package provides a unified R/Bioconductor interface to the multiple sequence alignment algorithms ClustalW, ClustalOmega, and Muscle. All three algorithms are integrated in the package, therefore, they do not depend on any externa

Dependencies & Environment

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

  • Version: 1.44.0 · Bioconductor: 3.23 · R: ≥ 4.6
  • Depends: Biostrings
  • Imports: Rcpp, BiocGenerics, IRanges, S4Vectors
  • System requirements: GNU make
  • Install: BiocManager::install("msa")

When to Use

  • Performing multiple sequence alignment of amino acid or nucleotide sequences using msa().
  • Generating highly customizable, publication-ready PDF visualizations of alignments using msaPrettyPrint().
  • Calculating consensus sequences and conservation scores using msaConsensusSequence() and msaConservationScore().

When NOT to Use

  • For aligning massive genomic datasets (e.g., whole genomes), use minimap2 because msa is designed for gene- or protein-scale alignments.
  • For basic pairwise sequence alignments, use pwalign because it is specifically built for pairwise comparisons.

Data Requirements

  • Input Format: Unaligned DNA, RNA, or Amino Acid sequences.
  • Structure: Loaded as an AAStringSet (or similar XStringSet) using readAAStringSet().

Key Parameters

  • output ("pdf"): Format for pretty-printing (e.g., "pdf", "asis").
  • showNames ("none"): Controls the display of sequence names in the printed alignment.
  • showLogo ("none"): Controls the display of the sequence logo (e.g., "top", "none").
  • shadingMode ("similar"): Mode for color shading in the alignment (e.g., "similar", "functional").
  • type ("upperlower"): Type of consensus sequence to generate.
  • askForOverwrite (FALSE): Whether to prompt before overwriting existing files during PDF generation.
  • gapVsGap (0): Score assigned to gap-versus-gap matches when calculating conservation scores.

Best Practices

  • Use unmasked() to retrieve the original alignment if a colmask() has been applied to hide specific columns.
  • Convert alignments to other formats using msaConvert() for downstream phylogenetic analysis (e.g., with seqinr or ape).
  • Use output="asis" in msaPrettyPrint() when integrating alignments into Sweave or knitr documents.

Common Pitfalls

  • PDF Compilation Failures: msaPrettyPrint() failing to compile PDFs; fix this by ensuring a working LaTeX system with the texshade.sty package is installed on your system path.
  • Alignments Running Off Page: Large alignments running off the page in PDFs; fix this by splitting the alignment into chunks using subseq() and printing them separately.
  • Memory Exhaustion: Running ClustalW on thousands of sequences can consume excessive memory; fix this by switching to ClustalOmega for large datasets.

Alternatives

  • DECIPHER: A powerful Bioconductor package for sequence alignment, database management, and oligonucleotide design.
  • ape: For phylogenetic analysis and basic sequence manipulation.
  • seqinr: For biological sequence retrieval and analysis.

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).
