Hi,

Aim: I am trying to get the positions of all stop codons and type of the stop codon given a DNAstring object or a character string.

stops <- c("TAG","TAA","TGA")
vmatchPattern(stop, stringObj)

I also tried to define stops as "TAA|TAG|TGA" and I know non is supported by vmatchPattern function. Then I tried:

stop1 <-matchPattern(c("TAG"), as(trx, "character")) %>% 
  as.data.frame()
stop2<- matchPattern(c("TAA"), as(trx, "character")) %>% 
  as.data.frame()
stop3<-matchPattern(c("TGA"), as(trx, "character")) %>% 
  as.data.frame()
stops <- rbind(stop1,stop2,stop3)

Outcome below is very much satisfying, I wish I could find a much clever solution.

start  end width seq
1    178  180     3 TAG
2    400  402     3 TAG
3    427  429     3 TAG
4    574  576     3 TAG
5    344  346     3 TAA
6    443  445     3 TAA
7    692  694     3 TAA
8     48   50     3 TGA
9     88   90     3 TGA
10   437  439     3 TGA
11   455  457     3 TGA
12   496  498     3 TGA
13   509  511     3 TGA
14   538  540     3 TGA
15   649  651     3 TGA
16   746  748     3 TGA

Can we find another solution to this problem of mine?

Hi,

You can use matchPDict() to match a set of patterns against a reference sequence (see ?matchPDict):

> library(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19)
> chr1 <- BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19$chr1
> stops <- c("TAG","TAA","TGA")
> pdict <- PDict(stops)
> mindex <- matchPDict(pdict, chr1)
> mindex

IRanges object with 11784963 ranges and 1 metadata column:

Finally use as.data.frame(matches) if you need the result in a data.frame.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

This helped, and that is beautiful, thanks a million! There is only one complication. I subset the individual transcript by name using trx <- genome[grepl("GABP01113048.1", names(genome))]. If I understand correctly this subsetting does not make the object a single transcript, as it is still a XStringSet object (multiple sequence). If I subset by index using obj[[2]] then I can successfullly apply your steps above.

Now, the question becomes, how can I subset individual transcript by name? subseq does not allow it as far as my search goes.

Hope you can help in this too.

Maybe genome[[grep("GABP01113048.1", names(genome))]] is what you are after? I don't know what your genome object is, where it's coming from, or what it looks like, so I'm just shooting in the dark here.

More generally speaking an XStringSet object of length 1 x can always be turned into an XString object with x[[1]].

Finally note that if you're only interested in counting the number of occurrences of each of your stop codons in each transcript then you can use vcountPDict(pdict, genome). This will return a matrix of counts with 1 row per stop codon and 1 column per transcript. Will be by far the most efficient solution.

Best,

H.

I found a solution but please let me know if there is a better way.

I had to change my names(StringObj) to transcipt ids(names was FASTA header with additional info(i.e. GABP01000993.1 TSA: Lingulodinium polyedrum comp101457_c0_seq1 mRNA sequence"). So, I convert them to trx ids like GABP01000993.1 using names(StringObj)<-str_split(names(StringObj)," ") %>% map_chr(`[`, 1). Then I subset by transcript id by StringObj$GABP01000993.1.
