mia 1.2.7
mia implements tools for microbiome analysis based on the
SummarizedExperiment (Morgan et al. 2020), SingleCellExperiment (Amezquita et al. 2020) and
TreeSummarizedExperiment (Huang 2021) infrastructure. Data wrangling and analysis
are the main scope of this package.
To install mia, install BiocManager first, if it is not installed.
Afterwards use the install function from BiocManager.
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))

BiocManager::install("mia")library("mia")TreeSummarizedExperiment objectA few example datasets are available via mia. For this vignette the
GlobalPatterns dataset is loaded first.

## colTree: NULLOne of the main topics for analysing microbiome data is the application of taxonomic data to describe features measured. The interest lies in the connection between individual bacterial species and their relation to each other.
mia does not rely on a specific object type to hold taxonomic data, but
uses specific columns in the rowData of a SummarizedExperiment object.
taxonomyRanks can be used to construct a character vector of available
taxonomic levels. This can be used, for example, for subsetting.

Agglomeration of data based on these taxonomic descriptors can be performed
using functions implemented in mia. In addition to the aggValue functions
provide by TreeSummarizedExperiment agglomerateByRank is available.
agglomerateByRank does not require tree data to be present.
agglomerateByRank constructs a factor to guide merging from the available
taxonomic information. For more information on merging have a look at the man
page via ?mergeRows.

only one rank is available for the enterotype dataset, agglomeration can be
performed effectively de-duplicating entries for the genus level.

(defined via the empty.fields argument) will be removed. Depending on these
settings different number of rows will be returned.

TreeSummarizedExperiment.

altExp(se,"Species") <- changeTree(altExp(se,"Species"),
rowTree = taxa_tree,
rowNodeLab = rowNodeLab)Transformation of count data stored in assays is also a main task when work
with microbiome data. transformCounts can be used for this and offers a few
choices of available transformations. A modified object is returned and the
transformed counts are stored in a new assay.
assayNames(enterotype)## [1] "counts"anterotype <- transformCounts(enterotype, method = "log10", pseudocount = 1)
assayNames(enterotype)## [1] "counts"For more details have a look at the man page ?transformCounts.
In the field of microbiome ecology several indices to describe samples and community of samples are available. In this vignette we just want to give a very brief introduction.
Functions for calculating alpha and beta diversity indices are available.
Using estimateDiversity multiple diversity indices are calculated by default
and results are stored automatically in colData. Selected indices can be
calculated individually by setting index = "shannon" for example.
se <- estimateDiversity(se)
colnames(colData(se))[8:ncol(colData(se))]## [1] "coverage" "fisher" "gini_simpson"
## [4] "inverse_simpson" "log_modulo_skewness" "shannon"
## [7] "faith"Beta diversity indices are used to describe inter-sample connections.
Technically they are calculated as dist object and reduced dimensions can
be extracted using cmdscale. This is wrapped up in the runMDS function
of the scater package, but can be easily used to calculated beta diversity
indices using the established functions from the vegan package or any other
package using comparable inputs.
library(scater)
altExp(se,"Genus") <- runMDS(altExp(se,"Genus"),
FUN = vegan::vegdist,
method = "bray",
name = "BrayCurtis",
ncomponents = 5,
exprs_values = "counts",
keep_dist = TRUE)JSD and UniFrac are implemented in mia as well. calculateJSD can be used
as a drop-in replacement in the example above (omit the method argument as
well) to calculate the JSD. For calculating the UniFrac distance via
calculateUniFrac either a TreeSummarizedExperiment must be used or a tree
supplied via the tree argument. For more details see ?calculateJSD,
?calculateUniFrac or ?calculateDPCoA.
runMDS performs the decomposition. Alternatively runNMDS can also be used.
estimateDominance and estimateEvenness implement other sample-wise indices.
The function behave equivalently to estimateDiversity. For more information
see the corresponding man pages.
To make migration and adoption as easy as possible several utility functions are available.
Functions to load data from biom files, QIIME2 output, DADA2 objects
(Callahan et al. 2016) or phyloseq objects are available.

getAbundanceFeature and getAbundanceSample are wrappers on row-wise or
column-wise assay data subsetting.
