MultiAssayExperiment

Dependencies & Environment

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

  • Version: 1.38.0 · Bioconductor: 3.23 · R: ≥ 4.6
  • Depends: SummarizedExperiment
  • Imports: Biobase, BiocBaseUtils, BiocGenerics, DelayedArray, GenomicRanges, IRanges, MatrixGenerics, S4Vectors, tidyr
  • Install: BiocManager::install("MultiAssayExperiment")

When to Use

  • Integrating multi-omics experiments (e.g., DNA mutations, RNA abundance) measured on the same biological specimens into a single object.
  • Managing complex experimental designs where a single patient maps to multiple assays, missing assays, or technical replicates using a sampleMap.
  • Subsetting multiple experimental assays simultaneously by patient IDs, genomic ranges, or column metadata using [, intersectColumns, or intersectRows.
  • Reshaping multi-assay data into long or wide formats for downstream analysis using longFormat or wideFormat.

When NOT to Use

  • For sets of assays with the exact same information across all rows (e.g., identical genes or genomic ranges), use SummarizedExperiment instead.

Data Requirements

  • experiments: A named list or ExperimentList containing assay datasets (e.g., matrix, SummarizedExperiment, RangedSummarizedExperiment, RaggedExperiment).
  • colData: A DataFrame containing primary patient/specimen metadata, where rownames are patient identifiers.
  • sampleMap: A three-column DataFrame (assay, primary, colname) that unambiguously maps experimental observations to rows in colData.

Key Parameters

  • experiments: A named list of experimental data objects provided to the MultiAssayExperiment constructor.
  • colData: A DataFrame of primary metadata describing the biological units (e.g., patients).
  • sampleMap: A DataFrame relating the primary data to the experimental assays.
  • metadata: A list of study-wide metadata (e.g., citation information) attached to the object.

Best Practices

  • Run the prepMultiAssay helper function before constructing the object to diagnose and resolve inconsistent names between the ExperimentList, colData, and sampleMap.
  • Use the listToMap convenience function to easily convert a list of platform-specific data frames into a valid sampleMap.
  • Store study-wide metadata, such as citation information, using the metadata slot at the MultiAssayExperiment level.
  • Ensure all elements in the ExperimentList are named; unnamed elements will prompt an error during construction.

Common Pitfalls

  • Unnamed ExperimentList: Passing an unnamed list of experiments to the constructor or prepMultiAssay causes an error. Fix: Assign names to the list elements (e.g., names(objlist) <- c("Affy", "Methyl")) before construction.
  • Dropped Samples: Assay samples (colnames) that cannot be mapped to a corresponding row in colData via the sampleMap are silently dropped. Fix: Check the $drops element returned by prepMultiAssay to identify and fix unmatched identifiers.
  • Mismatched sampleMap Columns: Providing a sampleMap without the exact column names assay, primary, and colname. Fix: Ensure the sampleMap strictly adheres to this three-column naming convention.

Alternatives

  • SummarizedExperiment: Recommended for single-assay datasets or multiple assays that share the exact same row features (e.g., identical genomic ranges).

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).
