ChemRICH WorkFlow Script for statistical results

Note : If you want to compute the statistical results from raw data, use the next script (scroll down).

Computer requirement :

R version - R 3.5.1 or latest

Set up Java - follow these instructions

Step 0 # Prepare the input data.

In RStudio, create a new project environment by clicking on File --> New Project

Use chemrich_input_stats.xlsx file as a template. Download it and replace it's content with your study's data. It has one sheet -

1. input - details about compounds. First column of this sheet must be "CompoundID", which has to be a unique arbiterary compound identifier such as "CPD0001" The input file must contain KEGG IDs, SMILES codes, PubChem IDs, p-value and fold-changes. If you have received data from Metabolon, the file should already have these annotations.

Put "chemrich_input_stats.xlsx" file inside the R-studio project directory.

Step 1. Install ChemRICH workflow package

install.packages("https://github.com/barupal/chemrich/raw/master/ChemRICHWorkFlow_0.1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
library(ChemRICHWorkFlow)

Step 2 . Provide a project name

project_name <- "chemrich_1" # Provide this analysis a name. This will be prefixed to all the exported files.

Step 3 . Load required R packages.

ChemRICHWorkFlow::load.ChemRICH.Packages()

Step 4. Load ChemRICH databases

ChemRICHWorkFlow::load.ChemRICH.databases()

Step 5. Data import into R.

Select below three lines and click on Run or press crtl+enter.

 data_dict <- readxl::read_xlsx("chemrich_input_stats.xlsx", sheet="input") # Data Dictionary

Step 6. Prepare Input for ChemRICH analysis

Note : compounds having the SMILES codes will be used for the next steps.

chemrich.input.file <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::prepare.chemrich.input()

Step 7. Get Chemical modules

Note : If you already have chemical classes. Add a column "ChemicalClass" into the data_dict sheet in the chemrich_input.xlsx file.

chemrich.input.file <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.getChemicalClass()
write.table(chemrich.input.file,paste0(project_name,"chemrich_input_file_with_clases.txt"), col.names = T, row.names = F, quote = F, sep="\t")

Step 8. Get significant chemical modules

signif.chemrich.cluster <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.GetSignificantClasses()

Step 9 . Visualize enriched modules

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.impactPlot(signif.chemrich.cluster)

Step 10 . Export Interactive ChemRICH plots.

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.interactivePlot(signif.chemrich.cluster)

step 11. Export chemical similarity tree

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.similarityTree()

It should look like this -

Step 12. Export Results Tables.

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.tables(signif.chemrich.cluster)

See ChemRICH_results.xlsx file for expected results.

ChemRICH Workflow Script to start with raw data.

Computer requirement :

R version - R 3.5.1 or latest

Set up Java - follow these instructions

Step 0 # Prepare the input data.

In RStudio, create a new project environment by clicking on File --> New Project

Use chemrich_input.xlsx file as a template. Download it and replace it's content with your study's data. It has three sheets -

1. data_dict - details about compounds. First column of this sheet must be "CompoundID" The data dictionary file must contain KEGG IDs, SMILES codes and chemical class or pathway annotation. If you have received data from Metabolon, the file should already have these annotations.

2. sample_metadata - details about samples. First column of this must be "Sample_ID"

3. data_matrix - metabolite numerical data. First column must be "CompoundID" and rest should be eash sample denoted by it's "Sample_ID"

Put "chemrich_input.xlsx" file inside the R-studio project directory.

Step 1. Install ChemRICH workflow package

install.packages("https://github.com/barupal/chemrich/raw/master/ChemRICHWorkFlow_0.1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
library(ChemRICHWorkFlow)

Step 2 . Provide a project name

project_name <- "chemrich_1" # Provide this analysis a name. This will be prefixed to all the exported files.

Step 3 . Load required R packages.

ChemRICHWorkFlow::load.ChemRICH.Packages()

Step 4. Load ChemRICH databases

ChemRICHWorkFlow::load.ChemRICH.databases()

Step 5. Data import into R.

Select below three lines and click on Run or press crtl+enter.

  data_dict <- readxl::read_xlsx("chemrich_input.xlsx", sheet="data_dict") # Data Dictionary
  sample_metadata <- readxl::read_xlsx("chemrich_input.xlsx", sheet="sample_metadata") # Sample metadata
  data_matrix <- readxl::read_xlsx("chemrich_input.xlsx", sheet="data_matrix") # Data matrix

Step 6. Inspect sample_metadata columns.

colnames(sample_metadata)

grouping_variable <- "TISSUE TYPE"

table(sample_metadata[grouping_variable])

Get compound count by a metabolite category variable.

colnames(data_dict) # First check what variable names you have in the data dictionary
table(data_dict["SUPER PATHWAY"]) # metabolite count by super pathway
table(data_dict["SUB PATHWAY"]) # metabolite count by sub pathway
table(data_dict["PLATFORM"]) # metabolite count by analytical plateform 

Step 7. Find significant metabolites

If you already have p-value and effect size (fold change or beta coefficient) for your analysis, skip this. Provide your results in the data_dict sheet in the chemrich_input.xlsx file. Add two columns - pvalue and fc. FC means fold-change. Negative beta values need to be converted to below 1 eg -2 will become 0.50.

metsig.df <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::getSignifMetabolites(grouping_variable)
write.table(metsig.df,paste0(project_name,"_significant_metabolites.txt"), col.names = T, row.names = F, quote = F, sep="\t")

Step 8. Prepare Input for ChemRICH analysis

Note : compounds having the SMILES codes will be used for the next steps.

chemrich.input.file <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::prepare.chemrich.input()

Step 9. Get Chemical modules

Note : If you already have chemical classes. Add a column "ChemicalClass" into the data_dict sheet in the chemrich_input.xlsx file.

chemrich.input.file <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.getChemicalClass()
write.table(chemrich.input.file,paste0(project_name,"chemrich_input_file_with_clases.txt"), col.names = T, row.names = F, quote = F, sep="\t")

Step 10. Get significant chemical modules

signif.chemrich.cluster <- ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.GetSignificantClasses()

Step 11 . Visualize enriched modules

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.impactPlot(signif.chemrich.cluster)

It should look like this -

Step 12 . Export Interactive ChemRICH plots.

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.interactivePlot(signif.chemrich.cluster)

step 13 . Export chemical similarity tree

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.similarityTree()

It should look like this -

Step 14 . Export Results Tables.

ChemRICHWorkFlow::export.chemrich.tables(signif.chemrich.cluster)

See ChemRICH_results.xlsx file for expected results.

Step 15. Visualize correlation, KEGG and Chemical Similarity Links within each module

ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.getIntegratedNetwork(moduleName,compoundLabel)

for example -

ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.getIntegratedNetwork("Adenine Nucleotides", "BIOCHEMICAL NAME")

Step 16. Generate Box and whisker plots

ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.generateBWplots(moduleName,compoundLabel)

for example

ChemRICHWorkFlow::chemrich.generateBWplots("Adenine Nucleotides", "BIOCHEMICAL NAME")

THE END
