The functions and code of the RNAdecay package were written for the purpose of analyzing decreasing levels of RNA abundance as measured by RNA short read sequencing (RNA-seq) after inhibition of transcription. Tissue is treated to block transcription (e.g., using a chemical such as cordycepin or ActinomycinD) and collected at regular intervals (referred to as the RNA decay time course, e.g., T0, T30, T60 refer to 0, 30, and 60 min of blocked transcription). Total RNA is extracted from the tissue and measured by RNA-seq. Although we wrote this package to analyze RNA-seq data, it could also be adapted to analyze individual gene data from quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) measures, however, normalization (as herein described) is best performed using a number of stable reference genes.
Raw (Illumina) RNA-seq data are typically libraries made of up 10M-250M short (50 nt) sequences. These sequences are aligned to the genome and counted based on the location of their alignment in annotated genomic ranges (e.g., genes, exons, etc). Read counts for each gene are normalized to the size of their respective RNA-seq library for comparison to libraries generated from other biological material, therefore, read counts are expressed as reads per million (RPM). We begin RNA decay analysis in this package with RPM RNA abundance data.
Prior to modeling RNA decay, we normalize the read counts to the initial (T0) RNA abundance, the transcript level just prior to blocking transcription. This is unique for each gene, and, in an experiment with multiple replicates (reps), we use the mean value for all T0 reps. All RPM values in the time course are divided by the mean T0 value. For example:
# you can see that in this fabricated data the RNAs have a half-life of ~30 min
RPM_geneX <- data.frame(T0 = c(150, 135, 148), T30 = c(72, 76, 69), T60 = c(35, 35, 30),
row.names = paste0("rep", 1:3))

write.table(x = SE_mT0norm, file = paste0(wrdir, "/T0 normalized_SE.txt"), sep = "\t")After inhibition of RNA synthesis, RNA degradation continues causing the total pool of RNA in cells to decrease. As this occurs, very stable RNAs become a much larger proportion of the total RNA pool even though their concentration in the cell remains nearly constant. RNA-seq RPM data is scaled to a normalized library size (i.e. to the total RNA pool), and, because of this, abundance of stable RNAs appears to increase. The apparent increase in abundance of stable genes is proportional to the reduction in the total pool of RNA, therefore, we can use it to apply a correction to the data. We call this decay factor correction. The decay factor is estimated based on the RPM increase (relative to the T0 samples) of a set of stable and abundant reference genes.
We selected 30 genes with high abundance on which to calculate the decay factors for each sample. These were then used to correct abundance in each of the respective samples. A unique decay factor is calculated for each treatment at each time point.
First, make a vector of ’geneID’s of abundant and stable reference genes present in the data set.
Mean T0 normalized values of stable genes are then pulled out of the mean_mT0norm data frame and used to calculate the decay factor for each set of replicate samples.

## 60416The normalized data is now ready to be used for modeling decay rates.
RNA degradation is typically modeled with a constant exponential decay model. This model assumes a constant decay rate throughout the decay time course. However, a number of issues might violate this assumption. For example, decay might depend on continuous transcription of rapidly turned over components of decay machinery; inhibition of this transcription would cause slowed decay due to lost supply of decay components. Alternatively, decay rate might be regulated (e.g., diurnally) leading to a slow change in decay rate over a long decay time course. Feedback due to slowed transcription could also lead to slowed RNA decay. We, therefore, apply both a constant exponential decay model and a time-dependent exponential decay model. However, besides these possibilies, other distinct mechanisms could lead to an apparent slowing of RNA decay. For example, because RNA-seq reads are pooled from multiple cell types and mapped to genes, distinct gene mRNA subpopulations might have different decay rates (i.e., different splice isoforms, or the same mRNA in different cell types of a multicellular organism) that are are averaged when these are pooled together. We believe that for these the time-dependent exponential decay model will also better capture this average than a constant exponential decay model.
The dynamic nature of RNA decay can be a point of gene regulation. To identify treatments that might affect decay rate, we model all possibilities of treatment effect on both [initital] decay rates (\(\alpha\)) and decay of decay rates (\(\beta\)) using maximum likelihood modeling. This is done by running the modeling with constraints on treatment decay rates (i.e., constraining decay rates of treatments to be equal or allowing them to combinatorially vary in independent groups). This can be done with up to four treatments in this package. Modeling is performed one gene at a time with each set of constraints, and then each set of parameter estimates (from each set of contraints) are compared using the AICc statistic. In this package, we refer to these as equivalence constraint groupings.
For the detailed mathematical framework of the decaying decay model see Sorenson et. al. (2018). Below we describe the steps of the algorithmic implementation and walk though an example data set.
Load normalized and corrected data and check the format: the following script requires a data frame with five columns with the following column names exactly: “geneID”, “treatment”, “t.decay”, “rep”, “value”:
* geneID = gene identifiers (`factor`)
* treatment = experimental treatment or genotype (`factor`)
* t.decay = time after transcriptional inhibition (`numeric`)
* rep = biological replicate number (`factor`)
* value = RNA abundance normalized to library size, decay factor and mean T0 values (`numeric`)library(RNAdecay)

## 2This file (“Model grouping colormap.pdf”) should now be in your working directory. It is a color map reference for understanding model constraints. For example, model 1 has all different colored boxes representing unconstrained \(\alpha\)s and unconstrained betas, whereas, the second to last model has only two box colors - one for all \(\alpha\)s indicating that they all have constrained equivalence and the other indicating that all \(\beta\)s also have constrained equivalence. Constant decay models (i.e., \(\beta\)s = 0) are indicated with gray color in the \(\beta\) columns.
Determine the bounds for \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) parameters. The bounds on \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are related to distinguishing constant decay, and decaying decay as described in the modeling supplement of Sorenson et al., 2018.
Care should be taken in determining these bounds given each experimental design. We have provided functions to aid in selection of the lower bounds of \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) (a_low and b_low, respectively), and upper bound for \(\alpha\) (a_high). These functions calculate limits based on the time points data were collected. For example, if abundance for an unstable mRNA is measured at the first time point to be 0.02% of the initial (T0) abundance, the information needed to estimate this decay rate was not collected. So, a_high caluclates the maximum estimatable decay rate based on the time at which the first decay data point was collected. Similarly, the lower bound for \(\beta\) is required to distinguish the constant decay model (const_decay) from the decaying decay model (decaying_decay). The upper bound for \(\beta\) is required to distinguish the no decay model (const_decay(0,t)) from decaying decay model. If \(\beta\) is too small 1-exp(-\(\beta\)*t) ~ -\(\beta\)*t and c(t) ~ exp(-\(\alpha\)*t); therefore, we can’t distinguish between constant decay and decaying decay models. If \(\beta\) is too big 1-exp(-\(\beta\)*t) ~ 1 and c(t) ~ exp(-\(\alpha\)/\(\beta\)), a constant, we can’t distinguish between no decay and decaying decay models. Refer to Sorenson et al. (2018) supplemental material for more detail about how we calculated the bounds for \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\).
a_bounds <- c(a_low(max(decay_data$t.decay)),
a_high(min(unique(decay_data$t.decay)[unique(decay_data$t.decay)>0])))
b_bounds <- c(b_low(max(decay_data$t.decay)), 0.075)
a_bounds;b_bounds## [1] 0.0001 0.7100## [1] 0.001 0.075Modeling is accomplished using the mod_optimization function. The function takes as arguments, the gene identifier, \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) bounds, the decay_data data frame, a vector of model names to run optimization for (e.g., as c("mod1", "mod239", ... ), the equivalence constraint matrix (defined as groups above), and a matrix to specify which contstraint groupings to use for \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) parameters (defined as mods above), respectively, for each model, and a results folder (which will be made if it doesn’t already exist) to which the results are written. A number of other arguments are available as well, see help file for details using ?mod_optimization.
Efficient model parameter optimization is accomplished using objective functions coded as binary dynamically linked shared libraries. These libraries are compiled from functions coded in the C++ language using functionality of the TMB package. The compiled files are dynamically linked library (*.dll, for Windows) or shared object (*.so, linux and Mac) files for each of the objective functions. If RNAdecay is installed from source, compiling C++ code will require a compiler be installed separatedly on your system (e.g., Rtools34 or later for Windows, https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/; Xcode comand line tools for Mac, http://railsapps.github.io/xcode-command-line-tools.html; R development package for Linux, r-base-dev). If you don’t already have one of these installed, install one and restart R. C++ source files are located in the installed ‘RNAdecay/src’ folder. The compiled (shared library) files should also be written to this same folder upon installation.
Test the modeling on a couple of genes on a handful of models.

This requires significant computational resources depending on data set size, number of models, and computing speed. The sample data set has 8 time points x 4 replicates each x 4 treatments (= 128 samples) for 118 genes and requires about 10 h processor time. 20000 genes at ~5 min each is ~70 d processor time, so be sure to test a few different models on a few handfuls of genes to feel comfortable running all the modeling. We recommend parallel processing (on multiple processor cores) using parallel::mclapply to cut overall time. If this function is unavailable on your machine (e.g., on Windows) you can use lapply, but it will take much longer. mod_optimization() writes results to file in tab-delimited form, and, optionally, can also return them as a data frame object.
####### To run all genes in parallel use:
# parallel::mclapply(ids, FUN = mod_optimization,
# data = decay_data, group = groups, mod = mods,
# alpha_bounds = a_bounds, beta_bounds = b_bounds,
# models = paste0("mod", 1:240),
# path = paste0(wrdir, "/modeling_results"),
# mc.cores = getOption("mc.cores", 15L), # set the number of compute cores to use here (e.g., 9L = 9 cores, 11L = 11 cores)
# mc.preschedule = TRUE,
# mc.set.seed = TRUE,
# mc.silent = FALSE,
# mc.cleanup = TRUE,
# mc.allow.recursive = TRUE)The entire example data set takes ~ 10 h processor time with lapply so for this example we will randomly select one gene ID to run here.
test_ids <- sample(ids, 1) # NOTE: that everytime this line is run it generates a different random sampling, therefore the gene modeled below will be different each time this code is run. To test the exact gene shown in the vignette make a new character vector of the gene id reported below and pass it to the gene argument of mod_optimization using lapply instead of passing 'test_ids' as we do here.
test_ids## [1] "ATMG00280"a <- proc.time()[3]
models <- lapply(X = test_ids, # alternatively use `ids` here to complete the entire sample data set, but be prepared to wait ~ 10 h. These gene IDs will get passed one at time to the "gene" argument of mod_optimization() and return a list of the results data frame.
FUN = mod_optimization,
data = decay_data,

## 4.493183For each gene, read in the results data frame written by mod_optimization as an element of a single list object.
The AICc statistic is used to compare model performance. Better models have lower AICc values. Select a single model for each gene based on the lowest AICc statistic. We will continue here with the RNAdecay::models data included in the package which uses all 118 genes from the sample data set RNAdecay::decay_data.
