Plot a chromosome ideogram with or without cytobands

plotIdeogram(
    chrom,
    assembly = "hg38",
    data = NULL,
    orientation = "h",
    showBands = TRUE,
    fill = NULL,
    x = NULL,
    y = NULL,
    width = NULL,
    height = NULL,
    just = c("left", "top"),
    default.units = "inches",
    draw = TRUE,
    params = NULL
)

Arguments

chrom

Chromosome to be plotted, as a string.

assembly

Default genome assembly as a string or a assembly object. Default value is assembly = "hg38".

data

Custom cytoband data, as a dataframe with the following columns: "seqnames", "start", "end", "width", "strand", "name", "gieStain".

orientation

Character value indicating the orientation of the ideogram. Default value is orientation = "h". Options are:

"v": Vertical ideogram orientation.
"h": Horizontal ideogram orientation.

showBands

Logical value indicating whether to draw colored cytobands within ideogram. Default value is showBands = TRUE.

fill

(optional) A vector specifying alternate colors for cytoband stains. To change specific gieStain values (i.e. gneg, gpos, etc.) to specific colors, this vector can be named. This vector must have the same number of colors as there are gieStain values for each genome assembly.

x

A numeric or unit object specifying ideogram x-location.

y

A numeric, unit object, or character containing a "b" combined with a numeric value specifying ideogram y-location. The character value will place the ideogram y relative to the bottom of the most recently plotted plot according to the units of the plotgardener page.

width

A numeric or unit object specifying ideogram width.

height

A numeric or unit object specifying ideogram height.

just

Justification of ideogram relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifies horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: "left", "right", "centre", "center", "bottom", and "top". Default value is just = c("left", "top").

default.units

A string indicating the default units to use if x, y, width, or height are only given as numerics. Default value is default.units = "inches".

draw

A logical value indicating whether graphics output should be produced. Default value is draw = TRUE.

params

An optional pgParams object containing relevant function parameters.

Value

Returns a ideogram object containing relevant genomic region, placement, and grob information.

Details

An ideogram can be placed on a plotgardener coordinate page by providing plot placement parameters:


plotIdeogram(chrom,
                x, y, width, height, just = c("left", "top"),
                default.units = "inches")

This function can also be used to quickly plot an unannotated ideogram by ignoring plot placement parameters:


plotIdeogram(chrom)

If no data is provided, Giemsa stain band data will first try to fetch UCSC with AnnotationHub. The results are cached for faster access, but these cached items can be deleted. If no internet connection is available and AnnotationHub has not previously cached the data, custom Giemsa stain band data can be loaded with the `data` parameter.

Examples

## Load Giemsa stain band information and genomic
## annotation data for hg19 genome assembly
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
library(AnnotationHub)

## Create page
pageCreate(width = 4.5, height = 1, default.units = "inches")

## Plot and place ideogram
ideogramPlot <- plotIdeogram(
    chrom = "chr2", assembly = "hg19",
    x = 0.25, y = 0.25, width = 4, height = 0.3,
    just = c("left", "top"),
    default.units = "inches"
)
#> ideogram[ideogram1]

## Plot text
plotText(
    label = "Chromosome 2", fontcolor = "dark grey",
    x = 4.25, y = 0.65, just = "right"
)
#> text[text1]


## Hide page guides
pageGuideHide()
