This tool requires MS2 chromatograms and provides a hybrid approach of global and local alignment to establish correspondence between peaks. ## Install DIAlignR ```{r installDIAlignR, eval=FALSE} if(!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager") BiocManager::install("DIAlignR") ``` ```{r loadDIAlignR} library(DIAlignR) ``` ## Prepare input files for alignment Mass-spectrometry files mostly contains spectra. Targeted proteomics workflow identifyies analytes from their chromatographic elution profile. DIAlignR extends the same concept for retention-time (RT) alignment and, therefore, relies on MS2 chromatograms. DIAlignR expects raw chromatogram file (.chrom.sqMass) and FDR-scored features (.osw) file. Example files are available with this package and can be located with this command: ```{r getDataPath} dataPath <- system.file("extdata", package = "DIAlignR") ``` | (Optional) To obtain files for alignment, following three steps are needed (Paper): * Step 1 Convert spectra files from vendor-specific format to standard mzMl format using [ProteoWizard-MSConvert](http://proteowizard.sourceforge.net/tools.shtml). * Step 2 Extract features and raw extracted-ion chromatograms(XICs) for library analytes. A detailed [tutorial](https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.21.914788) using [OpenSWATH](http://openswath.org/en/latest/docs/openswath.html) is available for this steps. In short, following `bash` commands to be used: ```{bash, eval=FALSE} OpenSwathWorkflow -in Filename.mzML.gz -tr library.pqp -tr_irt iRTassays.TraML -out_osw Filename.osw -out_chrom Filename.chrom.mzML OpenSwathMzMLFileCacher -in Filename.chrom.mzML -out Filename.chrom.sqMass -lossy_compression false ``` | Output files **Filename.osw** and **Filename.chrom.sqMass** are required for next steps. Note: If you prefer to use chrom.mzML instead of chrom.sqMass, some chromatograms are stored in compressed form and currently inaccesible by `mzR`. In such cases `mzR` would throw an error indicating `Invalid cvParam accession "1002746"`. To avoid this issue, uncompress chromatograms using OpenMS. ```{bash, eval=FALSE} FileConverter -in Filename.chrom.mzML -in_type 'mzML' -out Filename.chrom.mzML ``` * Step 3: Score features and calculate their q-values. A machine-learning based workflow is available with [PyProphet](http://openswath.org/en/latest/docs/pyprophet.html). For multiplt-runs experiment-wide FDR is recommended. This step is suggested only for small studies (n<30). For large n, look into the large-scale analysis section. An example of running pyprophet on OpenSWATH results is given below: ```{bash, eval=FALSE} pyprophet merge --template=library.pqp --out=merged.osw *.osw pyprophet score --in=merged.osw --classifier=XGBoost --level=ms1ms2 pyprophet peptide --in=merged.osw --context=experiment-wide ``` | Congrats! Now we have raw chromatogram files and associated scored features in merged.osw files. Move all .chrom.sqMass files in `xics` directory and merged.osw file in `osw` directory. The parent folder is given as `dataPath` to DIAlignR functions. ## Performing alignment on DIA runs There are three modes for multirun alignment: star, MST and Progressive. The functions align proteomics or metabolomics DIA runs. They expect two directories "osw" and "xics" at `dataPath`, and output an intensity table where rows specify each analyte and columns specify runs. ```{r, results=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} runs <- c("hroest_K120809_Strep0%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt", "hroest_K120809_Strep10%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt") params <- paramsDIAlignR() params[["context"]] <- "experiment-wide" ``` ## Star alignmnet ```{r, results=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} # For specific runs provide their names. alignTargetedRuns(dataPath = dataPath, outFile = "test", runs = runs, oswMerged = TRUE, params = params) # For all the analytes in all runs, keep them as NULL. alignTargetedRuns(dataPath = dataPath, outFile = "test", runs = NULL, oswMerged = TRUE, params = params) ``` ## MST alignmnet For MST alignment, a precomputed guide-tree can be supplied. ```{r, results=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} tree <- "run2 run2\nrun1 run0" mstAlignRuns(dataPath = dataPath, outFile = "test", mstNet = tree, oswMerged = TRUE, params = params) # Compute tree on-the-fly mstAlignRuns(dataPath = dataPath, outFile = "test", oswMerged = TRUE, params = params) ``` ## Progressive alignmnet Similar to previous approach, a precomputed guide-tree can be supplied. ```{r, results=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} text1 <- "(run1:0.08857142857,(run0:0.06857142857,run2:0.06857142857)masterB:0.02)master1;" progAlignRuns(dataPath = dataPath, outFile = "test", newickTree = text1, oswMerged = TRUE, params = params) # Compute tree on-the-fly progAlignRuns(dataPath = dataPath, outFile = "test", oswMerged = TRUE, params = params) ``` ## For large-scale analysis In a large-scale study, the `pyprophet merge` would create a huge file that can't be fit in the memory. Hence, [scaling-up](http://openswath.org/en/latest/docs/pyprophet.html#scaling-up) of pyprophet based on subsampling is recommended. Do not run the last two commands `pyprophet backpropagate` and `pyprophet export`, as these commands copy scores from `model_global.osw` to each run, increasing the size unnecessarily. Instead, use `oswMerged = FALSE` and `scoreFile=PATH/TO/model_global.osw`. ## Requantification ## Visualizing multiple chromatograms ## Investigating alignment of analytes For getting alignment object which has aligned indices of XICs `getAlignObjs` function can be used. Like previous function, it expects two directories "osw" and "xics" at `dataPath`. It performs alignment for exactly two runs. In case of `refRun` is not provided, m-score from osw files is used to select reference run. ```{r, message=FALSE} runs <- c("hroest_K120809_Strep0%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt", "hroest_K120809_Strep10%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt") AlignObjLight <- getAlignObjs(analytes = 4618L, runs = runs, dataPath = dataPath, objType = "light", params = params) # First element contains names of runs, spectra files, chromatogram files and feature files. AlignObjLight[[1]][, c("runName", "spectraFile")] obj <- AlignObjLight[[2]][["4618"]][[1]][["AlignObj"]] slotNames(obj) names(as.list(obj)) AlignObjMedium <- getAlignObjs(analytes = 4618L, runs = runs, dataPath = dataPath, objType = "medium", params = params) obj <- AlignObjMedium[[2]][["4618"]][[1]][["AlignObj"]] slotNames(obj) ``` Alignment object has slots * indexA_aligned aligned indices of reference chromatogram. * indexB_aligned aligned indices of experiment chromatogram * score cumulative score of the alignment till an index. * s similarity score matrix. * path path of the alignment through similarity score matrix. ## Visualizing the aligned chromatograms We can visualize aligned chromatograms using `plotAlignedAnalytes`. The top figure is experiment unaligned-XICs, middle one is reference XICs, last figure is experiment run aligned to reference. ```{r, fig.width=6, fig.align='center', fig.height=6, message=FALSE} runs <- c("hroest_K120809_Strep0%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt", "hroest_K120809_Strep10%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt") AlignObj <- getAlignObjs(analytes = 4618L, runs = runs, dataPath = dataPath, params = params) plotAlignedAnalytes(AlignObj, annotatePeak = TRUE) ``` ## Visualizing the alignment path We can also visualize the alignment path using `plotAlignemntPath` function. ```{r, fig.width=5, fig.align='center', fig.height=5, message=FALSE} library(lattice) runs <- c("hroest_K120809_Strep0%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt", "hroest_K120809_Strep10%PlasmaBiolRepl2_R04_SW_filt") AlignObjOutput <- getAlignObjs(analytes = 4618L, runs = runs, params = params, dataPath = dataPath, objType = "medium") plotAlignmentPath(AlignObjOutput) ``` ## Citation Gupta S, Ahadi S, Zhou W, Röst H.
