This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20200712) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version a0610af. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/
    Ignored:    r_packages_4.3.3/
    Ignored:    r_packages_4.4.0/

Unstaged changes:
    Modified:   script/run_rstudio.sh

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/sradb.Rmd) and HTML (docs/sradb.html) files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view the files as they were in that past version.

SRAdb

The SRAdb package is a compilation of metadata from NCBI SRA and tools. Specifically:

The Sequence Read Archive (SRA) is the largest public repository of sequencing data from the next generation of sequencing platforms including Roche 454 GS System, Illumina Genome Analyzer, Applied Biosystems SOLiD System, Helicos Heliscope, and others. However, finding data of interest can be challenging using current tools.

SRAdb is an attempt to make access to the metadata associated with submission, study, sample, experiment and run much more feasible. This is accomplished by parsing all the NCBI SRA metadata into a SQLite database that can be stored and queried locally. Fulltext search in the package make querying metadata very flexible and powerful.

fastq and sra files can be downloaded for doing alignment locally. Beside ftp protocol, the SRAdb has funcitons supporting fastp protocol (ascp from Aspera Connect) for faster downloading large data files over long distance. The SQLite database is updated regularly as new data is added to SRA and can be downloaded at will for the most up-to-date metadata.

SQLite database

First download SRAmetadb.sqlite.gz and gunzip it; the function getSRAdbFile() can do this but I recommend downloading this file externally. The gzipped file is around 6.8G in size (2024-07-26) and when uncompressed is 138G in size.

sqlfile <- getSRAdbFile(method = "wget")

Download database file externally using wget.

wget -c https://gbnci.cancer.gov/backup/SRAmetadb.sqlite.gz

Point to the location of downloaded and gunzipped file.

sqlfile <- '/data2/sradb/SRAmetadb.sqlite'

Create a connection for queries. The standard DBI functionality as implemented in RSQLite function dbConnect makes the connection to the database. The dbDisconnect function disconnects the connection.

sra_con <- dbConnect(SQLite(), sqlfile)

SRA tables

Database tables.

sra_tables <- dbListTables(sra_con)

Query.

rs <- dbGetQuery(sra_con, "select * from study limit 3")
rs[, 1:3]
  study_ID study_alias study_accession
1        1   DRP000001       DRP000001

SRX to SRR

How do we get the SRR accession for SRX510365? (Should be SRR1216135)

my_id <- 'SRX510365'

conversion <- sraConvert(my_id, sra_con = sra_con)
conversion
  experiment submission     study    sample        run
1  SRX510365  SRA090948 SRP025982 SRS588883 SRR1216135

End

Disconnect.

dbDisconnect(conn = sra_con)
