This vignette illustrates how to use the GenomicFiles package for
distributed computing across files. The functions in GenomicFiles
manipulate
and combine data subsets via two user-supplied functions, MAP and REDUCE. These
are similar in spirit to Map
and Reduce
in base R. Together they provide a
flexible interface to extract, manipulate, and combine data. Both functions are
executed in the distributed step, which means results are combined on a single
worker, not across workers.
We assume the reader has some previous experience with R and with basic
manipulation of ranges objects such as GRanges
and GAlignments
and file
classes such as BamFile
and BigWigFile
. See the vignettes and documentation
in GenomicRanges, GenomicAlignments,
Rsamtools and rtracklayer for an introduction to
these classes.
The GenomicFiles package is available at bioconductor.org and can be downloaded
via BiocManager::install
.

GenomicFiles offers functions for the parallel extraction and combination of data subsets. A user-defined MAP function extracts and manipulates data while an optional REDUCE function consolidates the output of MAP.
library(GenomicFiles)
Ranges can be a GRanges
, GRangesList
or GenomicFiles
class.
gr <- GRanges("chr14", IRanges(c(19411500 + (1:5)*20), width=10))
File are supplied as a character vector or list of *File classes such as
BamFile
, BigWigFile
etc.
library(RNAseqData.HNRNPC.bam.chr14)
fls <- RNAseqData.HNRNPC.bam.chr14_BAMFILES
The MAP function extracts and manipulates data subsets. Here we compute pileups for a given range and file.
MAP <- function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("Rsamtools")
Rsamtools::pileup(file, scanBamParam=Rsamtools::ScanBamParam(which=range))
}
reduceByFile
sends each file to a worker where MAP is applied to each file /
range combination. When summarize=TRUE
the output is a SummarizedExperiment
object.
se <- reduceByFile(gr, fls, MAP, summarize=TRUE)
se
## class: RangedSummarizedExperiment
## dim: 5 8
## metadata(0):
## assays(1): data
## rownames: NULL
## rowData names(0):
## colnames(8): ERR127306 ERR127307 ... ERR127304 ERR127305
## colData names(1): filePath
Results are stored in the assays
slot.
dim(assays(se)$data) ## ranges x files
## [1] 5 8
reduceByRange
sends each range to a worker and extracts the same range from
all files. Adding a reducer to this example combines the pileups from each range
across files.
REDUCE <- function(mapped, ...) {
cmb = do.call(rbind, mapped)
xtabs(count ~ pos + nucleotide, cmb)
}
lst <- reduceByRange(gr, fls, MAP, REDUCE, iterate=FALSE)
The result is a list where each element is a summary table of counts for a single range across all 8 files.
head(lst[[1]], 3)
## < table of extent 0 x 8 >
GenomicFiles
classThe GenomicFiles
class is a matrix-like container where rows represent ranges
of interest and columns represent files. The object can be subset on files and
/ or ranges to perform different experimental runs. The class inherits from
RangedSummarizedExperiment
but does not (as of yet) make use of the
elementMetadata
and assays
slots.
GenomicFiles(gr, fls)
## GenomicFiles object with 5 ranges and 8 files:
## files: ERR127306_chr14.bam, ERR127307_chr14.bam, ..., ERR127304_chr14.bam, ERR127305_chr14.bam
## detail: use files(), rowRanges(), colData(), ...
A GenomicFiles
can be used as the ranges
argument to the functions in this
package. When summarize=TRUE
, data from the common slots are transferred to
the SummarizedExperiment
result. NOTE: Results can only be put into a
SummarizedExperiment
when no reduction is performed because of the matching
dimensions requirement (i.e., a REDUCE collapses the results in one dimension).
Functions in GenomicFiles
manipulate and combine data across or within files
using the parallel infrastructure provided in BiocParallel
. Files and ranges
are sent to workers along with MAP and REDUCE functions. The MAP extracts and/or
manipulates data and REDUCE consolidates the results from MAP. Both MAP and
REDUCE are executed in the distributed step and therefore reduction occurs on
data from the same worker, not across workers.
The chart in Figure 1 represents the division of labor in reduceByRange
and reduceRanges
with 3 files and 4 ranges. These functions split the problem
by range which allows subsets (i.e., the same range) to be combined across
different files. reduceByRange
iterates through the files, invoking MAP and
REDUCE for each range / file combination. This approach allows ranges extracted
from the files to be kept separate or combined before the next call to MAP
based on whether or not a REDUCE
is supplied.
reduceRanges
applies MAP
to each range / file combination and REDUCEs the
output of all MAP calls. REDUCE
usually plays a minor role by concatenating or
unlisting results.
In contrast to the ‘byRange’ approach, reduceByFile
and reduceFiles
(Figure
2) split the problem by file. Files are sent to different workers with
the set of ranges allowing subsets (i.e., multiple ranges) from the same file
to be combined. reduceByFile
invokes MAP for each file / range combination
allowing potential REDUCE
after each MAP step.
reduceFiles
applies MAP
to each range / file combination and REDUCEs the
output of all MAP calls. REDUCE
usually plays a minor role by concatenating or
unlisting results.
reduceByRange
and reduceRanges
The reduceByRange
and reduceRanges
functions are designed for analyses that
compare or combine data subsets across files. The first example in this section
computes pileups on subsets from individual files then sums over all files. The
second example computes coverage on a group of ranges for each file then
performs a basepair-level \(t\)-test across files. The \(t\)-test example also
demonstrates how to use a blocking factor to differentiate files by experimental
group (e.g., case vs control).
In this example nucleotide counts (pileups) are computed for the same ranges in each file (MAP step). Pileups are then summed by position resulting in a single table for each range across all files (REDUCE step).
Create a GRanges with regions of interest:
gr <- GRanges("chr14", IRanges(c(19411677, 19659063, 105421963,
105613740), width=20))
The bam2R
function from the deepSNV package is used to compute
the statistics. The MAP invokes bam2R
and retains only the nucleotide counts
(see ?bam2R
for other output fields). Counts from the reference strand are
uppercase and counts from the complement are lowercase.
Because the bam2R
function is not explicitly passed through the MAP,
deepSNV must be loaded on each worker so the function can be
found.
MAP <- function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("deepSNV")
ct <- deepSNV::bam2R(file,
GenomeInfoDb::seqlevels(range),
GenomicRanges::start(range),
GenomicRanges::end(range), q=0)
ct[, c("A", "T", "C", "G", "a", "t", "c", "g")]
}
With no REDUCE function, the output is a list the same length as the number of ranges where each list element is the length of the number of files.
pile1 <- reduceByRange(gr, fls, MAP)
> length(pile1)
[1] 4
> elementNROWS(pile1)
[1] 8 8 8 8
Next add a REDUCE to sum the counts by position.
REDUCE <- function(mapped, ...) {
Reduce("+", mapped)
}
The output is again a list with the same length as the number of ranges but the element lengths have been reduced to 1.
pile2 <- reduceByRange(gr, fls, MAP, REDUCE)
length(pile2)
## [1] 4
elementNROWS(pile2)
## [1] 20 20 20 20
Each element is a matrix of counts (position by nucleotide) for a single range summed over all files.
head(pile2[[1]])
## A T C G a t c g
## [1,] 15 0 0 0 43 0 0 0
## [2,] 17 0 0 0 43 0 0 0
## [3,] 16 0 0 0 42 0 0 0
## [4,] 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 42
## [5,] 0 0 20 0 0 0 40 0
## [6,] 19 0 0 0 39 0 0 0
In this example, coverage is computed for a region of interest in multiple
files. A grouping variable that defines case / control status is passed as an
extra argument to reduceByRange
and used in the reduction step to perform the
\(t\)-test.
Define ranges of interest,
roi <- GRanges("chr14", IRanges(c(19411677, 19659063, 105421963,
105613740), width=20))
and assign the case, control grouping of files. (Grouping is arbitrary in this example.)
grp <- factor(rep(c("A","B"), each=length(fls)/2))
The MAP reads in alignments from each BAM file and computes coverage. Coverage is coerced from an RleList to numeric vector for later use in the \(t\)-test.
MAP <- function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicAlignments")
param <- Rsamtools::ScanBamParam(which=range)
as.numeric(unlist(
GenomicAlignments::coverage(file, param=param)[range], use.names=FALSE))
}
REDUCE combines the coverage vectors into a matrix, identifies all-zero rows,
and performs row-wise \(t\)-testing using the rowttests
function from the
rBiocpkg("genefilter")
package. The index of which rows correspond to which
basepair of the original range is stored as a column offset
.
REDUCE <- function(mapped, ..., grp) {
mat = simplify2array(mapped)
idx = which(rowSums(mat) != 0)
df = genefilter::rowttests(mat[idx,], grp)
cbind(offset = idx - 1, df)
}
The file grouping is passed as an extra argument to reduceByRange
.
iterate=FALSE
postpones the reduction until coverage vectors for all
files have been computed. This delay is necessary because REDUCE uses
the file grouping factor to perform the \(t\)-test and relies on the
coverage vectors for all files to be present.
ttest <- reduceByRange(roi, fls, MAP, REDUCE, iterate=FALSE, grp=grp)
The result is a list of summary tables of basepair-level \(t\)-test statistics for each range across all files.
> head(ttest[[1]], 3)
offset statistic dm p.value
1 0 1.1489125 2.75 0.2943227
2 1 0.9761871 2.25 0.3666718
3 2 0.8320503 1.50 0.4372365
These tables can be added to the roi
GRanges as a metadata column.
mcols(roi)$ttest <- ttest
> head(roi)

reduceByFile
and reduceFiles
compare or combine data subsets within
files. reduceByFile
allows for more fine-tuned manipulation over the
subset for each range / file combination. If differentiating between
ranges is not important, reduceFiles
can be used to treat the ranges
as a group.
In this section read junctions are counted for individual subsets within a file
then combined based on user-defined selection criteria. Another example computes
coverage over complete BAM files by streaming over a set of continuous ranges.
The coverage example is performed with both reduceByFile
and reduceFiles
to
demonstrate the passing ranges to MAP individually vs all at once. The last
example uses a MAP function to chunk through subsets when the data are too large
for available memory.
This example highlights how reduceByFile
allows detailed control over
the combination of data subsets from distinct ranges within the same file.
Define ranges of interest.
gr <- GRanges("chr14", IRanges(c(19100000, 106000000), width=1e7))
The MAP produces a table of junction counts (i.e., ‘N’ operations in the CIGAR) for each range.
MAP <- function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicAlignments") ## for readGAlignments()
## ScanBamParam()
param = Rsamtools::ScanBamParam(which=range)
gal = GenomicAlignments::readGAlignments(file, param=param)
table(GenomicAlignments::njunc(gal))
}
Create a GenomicFiles object.
gf <- GenomicFiles(gr, fls)
gf
## GenomicFiles object with 2 ranges and 8 files:
## files: ERR127306_chr14.bam, ERR127307_chr14.bam, ..., ERR127304_chr14.bam, ERR127305_chr14.bam
## detail: use files(), rowRanges(), colData(), ...
The GenomicFiles object or any subset of the object can be used as the
ranges argument to functions in GenomicFiles
. Here the object is
subset on 3 files and both ranges.
counts1 <- reduceByFile(gf[,1:3], MAP=MAP)

Add a reducer that combines counts for records in each range with exactly 1 junction.

Next invoke reduceFiles
with the same files and MAP function.
reduceFiles
treats all ranges as a group and counts junctions for all
ranges simultaneously.
counts2 <- reduceFiles(gf[,1:3], MAP=MAP)
In the reduceByFile
example junctions were counted for each range
individually which allowed us to see results for the individual ranges
and combine them on the fly based on specific criteria. In contrast,
reduceFiles
counts junctions for all ranges simultaneously.

Files that are too large to fit in memory can be streamed over by creating
‘tiles’ or ranges that span the whole file. The tileGenome
function creates a
set of continuous ranges that span a given seqlength(s). The sample BAM files
contain only chr14 so we extract the appropriate seqlength from the BAM files
and use it in tileGenome
. In this example we create 5 ranges but the optimal
value for ntile
will depend on the application and the size of the chromosome
(or genome) to be tiled.
chr14_seqlen <- seqlengths(seqinfo(BamFileList(fls))["chr14"])
tiles <- tileGenome(chr14_seqlen, ntile=5)
tiles
is a GRangesList of length ntile

MAP computes coverage for each range. The sum of coverage across all positions is recorded along with the width of the range.
MAP = function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicAlignments") ## for ScanBamParam() and coverage()
param = Rsamtools::ScanBamParam(which=range)
rle = GenomicAlignments::coverage(file, param=param)[range]
c(width = GenomicRanges::width(range),
sum = sum(S4Vectors::runLength(rle) * S4Vectors::runValue(rle)))
}
REDUCE sums the width and coverage for all ranges in ‘tiles’.
REDUCE = function(mapped, ...) {
Reduce(function(i, j) Map("+", i, j), mapped)
}
When iterate=TRUE
REDUCE is applied after each MAP step. Iterating
prevents the data from growing too large on the worker. The total width
and coverage sum for all ranges are returned for each file.
cvg1 <- reduceByFile(tiles, fls, MAP, REDUCE, iterate=TRUE)

reduceFiles
In the first coverage example we used reduceByFile
to invoke MAP for
each file / range combination. This approach is useful when analyses
require data manipulation at the level of each file / range subset prior
to reduction. For many applications, however, distinguishing between
ranges is not important and the overhead of an lapply over all ranges
may be costly.
An alternative is to use reduceFiles
which passes all ranges as a
single argument to MAP. The ranges can be used to create a ‘param’ or
passed as an argument to another function that operates on multiple
ranges at a time.
This MAP computes coverage on all ranges at once and returns an RleList.
MAP = function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicAlignments") ## for ScanBamParam() and coverage()
GenomicAlignments::coverage(
file,
param=Rsamtools::ScanBamParam(which=range))[range]
}
REDUCE extracts the RleList from ‘mapped’ and collapses the coverage. Note that reduction could have be done in the MAP step on the output of coverage. Because all ranges are passed as a single argument, MAP is only called once on each worker. Consequences of a single invocation are (1) reduction can be done at the end of the MAP or by REDUCE and (2) REDUCE cannot be applied iteratively (this requires more than a single output from MAP).
REDUCE = function(mapped, ...) {
sapply(mapped, Reduce, f = "+")
}
Recall ‘tiles’ is a GRangesList with one range per list element. We have no need for the grouping in this example so we pass ‘tiles’ as a GRanges.
cvg2 <- reduceFiles(unlist(tiles), fls, MAP, REDUCE)
Output is a list of length 8 where each element is a single Rle of coverage for all ranges.
cvg2[1]

reduceFiles
with chunkingContinuing with the same coverage example. Now let’s assume the result
from calling coverage
with all ranges in ‘tiles’ does not fit in
available memory. We need a way to chunk through the ranges.
One option is to use reduceByFile
to lapply through each range in ‘tiles’
individually and then apply a reducer as we did in the first coverage example.
Because the ‘tiles’ GRangesList has only one range per list element this
approach may be inefficient for a large number of ranges. To reduce the number
of iterations in the lapply, the ranges in ‘tiles’ could be re-grouped into a
GRangesList with more than one range per element.
Another approach is to write your own MAP function that chunks through the ranges. This has the advantage that, if resources are available, an additional level of parallel dispatch can be implemented.
MAP creates an index over the ranges which are passed to bplapply
. The
data are subset on each worker, coverage is computed and reduced for the
ranges in the chunk.
MAP = function(range, file, ...) {
requireNamespace("BiocParallel") ## for bplapply()
nranges = 2
idx = split(seq_along(range), ceiling(seq_along(range)/nranges))
BiocParallel::bplapply(idx,
function(i, range, file) {
requireNamespace("GenomicAlignments") ## ScanBamParam(), coverage()
chunk = range[i]
param = Rsamtools::ScanBamParam(which=chunk)
cvg = GenomicAlignments::coverage(file, param=param)[chunk]
Reduce("+", cvg) ## collapse coverage within chunks
}, range, file)
}
REDUCE extracts and collapses the RleList of coverage for all chunks.
REDUCE = function(mapped, ...) {
sapply(mapped, Reduce, f = "+")
}
Again ‘tiles’ are passed as a GRanges so the chunking in MAP defines the groups, not the structure of the GRangesList. Output is a list of length 8 where each list element is a single Rle of coverage.
cvg3 <- reduceFiles(unlist(tiles), fls, MAP, REDUCE)
> cvg3[1]
$ERR127306
$ERR127306[[1]]

Values : 0 22 23 19 17 18 17 ... 20 22 21 23 22 0
Both reduceByFile
and reduceByRange
process ranges
one element at a
time. When ranges
is a GRanges the element is a single range and when
it is a GRangesList the element can contain multiple ranges.
If the GRanges is very long (many ranges) working one range at a time can be
inefficient. Splitting the GRanges into a GRangesList allows reduceByFile
and
reduceByRange
to work on groups of ranges and will gain speed and efficiency
in most applications. This approach works as long as the analysis does not
depend on keeping the ranges separate (i.e., MAP and REDUCE can be written to
operate on groups of ranges instead of a single range).
For applications that combine data within a file, chunking can be done
with reduceByFile
and a GRangesList. Similarly, when chunking through
ranges to combine data across files use reduceByRange
with a GRangesList.
reduceByYield
iterates through records in a single file that would
otherwise not fit in memory. It is similar to a one dimensional
reduceByFile
but the arguments and approach are slightly different.
Similar to other GenomicFiles
functions, data are manipulated and
reduced with MAP and REDUCE
functions. What sets reduceByYield
apart
are the use of YIELD
and DONE
arguments. YIELD
is a function that
returns a chunk of data to work on and DONE
is a function that defines a
stopping criteria.
Records from a single file are read by readGAlignments
and limited by the
yieldSize
set in the BamFile.
library(GenomicAlignments)
bf <- BamFile(fls[1], yieldSize=100000)
YIELD <- function(x, ...) readGAlignments(x)
MAP counts overlaps between the reads and a GRanges of interest while REDUCE sums counts over the chunks.
gr <- unlist(tiles, use.names=FALSE)
MAP <- function(value, gr, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicRanges") ## for countOverlaps()
GenomicRanges::countOverlaps(gr, value)
}
REDUCE <- `+`
When DONE
evaluates to TRUE, iteration stops. ‘value’ is the object
returned from calling YIELD on the BAM file. At the end of file the
length of records will be 0 and DONE
will evaluate to TRUE.
DONE <- function(value) length(value) == 0L
The MAP step is run in parallel when parallel=TRUE.
‘parallel’ is
currently implemented for Unix/Mac only so we use multicore workers.

Taking this one step further, we can use bplapply
to distribute files to
workers and call reduceByYield
on each file. If adequate resources are
available this example could have 2 levels of parallel dispatch, one at the file
level (bplapply
) and one at the MAP level (reduceByYield(..., parallel=TRUE
). This example takes the conservative approach and runs
reduceByYield
in serial on each worker.
The function ‘FUN’ will be run on each worker.
FUN <- function(file, gr, YIELD, MAP, REDUCE, tiles, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicAlignments") ## for BamFile, readGAlignments()
requireNamespace("GenomicFiles") ## for reduceByYield()
gr <- unlist(tiles, use.names=FALSE)
bf <- Rsamtools::BamFile(file, yieldSize=100000)
YIELD <- function(x, ...) GenomicAlignments::readGAlignments(x)
MAP <- function(value, gr, ...) {
requireNamespace("GenomicRanges") ## for countOverlaps()
GenomicRanges::countOverlaps(gr, value)
}
REDUCE <- `+`
GenomicFiles::reduceByYield(bf, YIELD, MAP, REDUCE, gr=gr, parallel=FALSE)
}
bplapply
distributes the files to workers. Each worker uses reduceByYield
to
iteratively count and reduce overlaps in a BAM file.
