Introduction

The package gdsfmt provides a high-level R interface to CoreArray Genomic Data Structure (GDS) data files, which are portable across platforms and include hierarchical structure to store multiple scalable array-oriented data sets with metadata information. It is suited for large-scale datasets, especially for data which are much larger than the available random-access memory. The package gdsfmt offers the efficient operations specifically designed for integers with less than 8 bits, since a single genetic/genomic variant, like single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), usually occupies fewer bits than a byte. Data compression and decompression are also supported with relatively efficient random access.

Installation of the package gdsfmt

To install the package gdsfmt, you need a current version (>=2.14.0) of R. After installing R you can run the following commands from the R command shell to install the package gdsfmt.

Install the package from Bioconductor repository:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("gdsfmt")

Install the development version from Github:

library("devtools")
install_github("zhengxwen/gdsfmt")

The install_github() approach requires that you build from source, i.e. make and compilers must be installed on your system – see the R FAQ for your operating system; you may also need to install dependencies manually.

High-level R functions

Creating a GDS file and variable hierarchy

An empty GDS file can be created by createfn.gds():

library(gdsfmt)
gfile <- createfn.gds("test.gds")

Now, a file handle associated with “test.gds” is saved in the R variable gfile.

The GDS file can contain a hierarchical structure to store multiple GDS variables (or GDS nodes) in the file, and various data types are allowed (see the document of add.gdsn()) including integer, floating-point number and character.

add.gdsn(gfile, "int", val=1:10000)
add.gdsn(gfile, "double", val=seq(1, 1000, 0.4))
add.gdsn(gfile, "character", val=c("int", "double", "logical", "factor"))
add.gdsn(gfile, "logical", val=rep(c(TRUE, FALSE, NA), 50), visible=FALSE)
add.gdsn(gfile, "factor", val=as.factor(c(NA, "AA", "CC")), visible=FALSE)
add.gdsn(gfile, "bit2", val=sample(0:3, 1000, replace=TRUE), storage="bit2")

# list and data.frame
add.gdsn(gfile, "list", val=list(X=1:10, Y=seq(1, 10, 0.25)))
add.gdsn(gfile, "data.frame", val=data.frame(X=1:19, Y=seq(1, 10, 0.5)))

folder <- addfolder.gdsn(gfile, "folder")
add.gdsn(folder, "int", val=1:1000)
add.gdsn(folder, "double", val=seq(1, 100, 0.4), visible=FALSE)

Users can display the file content by typing gfile or print(gfile):

gfile

## File: C:\Users\biocbuild\bbs-3.6-bioc\tmpdir\Rtmpo9fk3o\Rbuild17084ebe1084\gdsfmt\vignettes\test.gds (1.1K)

print(gfile, ...) has an argument all to control the display of file content. By default, all=FALSE; if all=TRUE, to show all contents in the file including hidden variables or folders. The GDS variables logical, factor and folder/double are hidden.

print(gfile, all=TRUE)

The asterisk indicates attributes attached to a GDS variable. The attributes can be used in the R environment to interpret the variable as logical, factor, data.frame or list.

index.gdsn() can locate the GDS variable by a path:

index.gdsn(gfile, "int")

## + int   { Int32 10000, 39.1K }

index.gdsn(gfile, "list/Y")

## + list/Y   { Float64 37, 296B }

index.gdsn(gfile, "folder/int")

## + folder/int   { Int32 1000, 3.9K }

# close the GDS file
closefn.gds(gfile)

Writing Data

Array-oriented data sets can be written to the GDS file. There are three possible ways to write data to a GDS variable.

gfile <- createfn.gds("test.gds")

R function add.gdsn

Users could pass an R variable to the function add.gdsn() directly. show() provides the preview of GDS variable.

n <- add.gdsn(gfile, "I1", val=matrix(1:15, nrow=3))
show(n)

## + I1   { Int32 3x5, 60B }
## Preview:
##  1  4  7 10 13
##  2  5  8 11 14
##  3  6  9 12 15

R function write.gdsn

Users can specify the arguments start and count to write a subset of data. -1 in count means the size of that dimension, and the corresponding element in start should be 1. The values in start and cound should be in the dimension range.

write.gdsn(n, rep(0,5), start=c(2,1), count=c(1,-1))
show(n)

## + I1   { Int32 3x5, 60B }
## Preview:
##  1  4  7 10 13
##  0  0  0  0  0
##  3  6  9 12 15

R function append.gdsn

Users can append new data to an existing GDS variable.

append.gdsn(n, 16:24)
show(n)

## + I1   { Int32 3x8, 96B }
## Preview:
##  1  4  7 10 13 16 19 22
##  0  0  0  0  0 17 20 23
##  3  6  9 12 15 18 21 24

R function assign.gdsn

Users could call assign.gdsn() to replace specific values, subset or reorder the data variable.

# initialize
n <- add.gdsn(gfile, "mat", matrix(1:48, 6))
show(n)

## + mat   { Int32 6x8, 192B }
## Preview:
##  1  7 13 19 25 31 37 43

assign.gdsn(n, .value=c(9:14,35:40), .substitute=NA)
show(n)

# subset
assign.gdsn(n, seldim=list(rep(c(TRUE, FALSE),3), rep(c(FALSE, TRUE),4)))
show(n)

## + mat   { Int32 3x4, 48B }

assign.gdsn(n, seldim=list(c(4,2,6,NA), c(5,6,NA,2,8,NA,4)))
show(n)

assign.gdsn(n, seldim=list(6:1, 8:1))
show(n)

Create a large-scale data set

1) When the size of dataset is larger than the system memory, users can not add a GDS variable via add.gdsn() directly. If the dimension is pre-defined, users can specify the dimension size in add.gdsn() to allocate data space. Then call write.gdsn() to write a small subset of data space.

(n2 <- add.gdsn(gfile, "I2", storage="int", valdim=c(100, 2000)))

## + I2   { Int32 100x2000, 781.2K }

for (i in 1:2000)
{
    write.gdsn(n2, seq.int(100*(i-1)+1, length.out=100),
        start=c(1,i), count=c(-1,1))
}

show(n2)

## + I2   { Int32 100x2000, 781.2K }

2) Call append.gdsn() to append new data when the initial size is ZERO. If a compression algorithm is specified in add.gdsn() (e.g., compress=“ZIP”), users should call append.gdsn() instead of write.gdsn(), since data has to be compressed sequentially.

(n3 <- add.gdsn(gfile, "I3", storage="int", valdim=c(100, 0), compress="ZIP"))

## + I3   { Int32 100x0 ZIP, 0B }

for (i in 1:2000)
{
    append.gdsn(n3, seq.int(100*(i-1)+1, length.out=100))
}

readmode.gdsn(n3)  # finish writing with the compression algorithm

add.gdsn(gfile, "I1", val=matrix(1:20, nrow=4))
add.gdsn(gfile, "I2", val=1:100)
closefn.gds(gfile)

read.gdsn() can load all data to an R variable in memory.

gfile <- openfn.gds("test.gds")
n <- index.gdsn(gfile, "I1")

Subset reading read.gdsn and readex.gdsn

A subset of data can be specified via the arguments start and count in the R function read.gdsn. Or specify a list of logical vectors in readex.gdsn().

# read a subset
read.gdsn(n, start=c(2, 2), count=c(2, 3))

##      [,1] [,2] [,3]
## [1,]    6   10   14

Apply a user-defined function marginally

A user-defined function can be applied marginally to a GDS variable via apply.gdsn(). margin=1 indicates applying the function row by row, and margin=2 for applying the function column by column.

apply.gdsn(n, margin=1, FUN=print, as.is="none")

## [1]  1  5  9 13 17
## [1]  2  6 10 14 18

## [1]  9 10 11 12
## [1] 13 14 15 16
## [1] 17 18 19 20

# close the GDS file
closefn.gds(gfile)

Examples

To create a simple GDS file,

gfile <- createfn.gds("test.gds")
n1 <- add.gdsn(gfile, "I1", val=1:100)
n2 <- add.gdsn(gfile, "I2", val=matrix(1:20, nrow=4))

gfile

## File: C:\Users\biocbuild\bbs-3.6-bioc\tmpdir\Rtmpo9fk3o\Rbuild17084ebe1084\gdsfmt\vignettes\test.gds (224B)
## +    [  ]
## |--+ I1   { Int32 100, 400B }
## \--+ I2   { Int32 4x5, 80B }

Output to a text file

apply.gdsn() can be used to export a GDS variable to a text file. If the GDS variable is a vector,

fout <- file("text.txt", "wt")
apply.gdsn(n1, 1, FUN=cat, as.is="none", file=fout, fill=TRUE)
close(fout)

scan("text.txt")

##   [1]   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17
##  [18]  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25  26  27  28  29  30  31  32  33  34
##  [35]  35  36  37  38  39  40  41  42  43  44  45  46  47  48  49  50  51
##  [52]  52  53  54  55  56  57  58  59  60  61  62  63  64  65  66  67  68
##  [69]  69  70  71  72  73  74  75  76  77  78  79  80  81  82  83  84  85

The arguments file and fill are defined in the function cat().

If the GDS variable is a matrix:

fout <- file("text.txt", "wt")
apply.gdsn(n2, 1, FUN=cat, as.is="none", file=fout, fill=4194304)
close(fout)

readLines("text.txt")

## [1] "1 5 9 13 17"  "2 6 10 14 18" "3 7 11 15 19" "4 8 12 16 20"

The number 4194304 is the maximum number of columns on a line used in printing vectors.

Transpose a matrix

permdim.gdsn() can be used to transpose an array by permuting its dimensions. Or apply.gdsn() allows that the data returned from the user-defined function FUN is directly written to a target GDS node target.node, when as.is=“gdsnode” and target.node are both given. Little c in R is a generic function which combines its arguments, and it passes all data to the target GDS node in the following code:

n.t <- add.gdsn(gfile, "transpose", storage="int", valdim=c(5,0))

# apply the function over rows of matrix
apply.gdsn(n2, margin=1, FUN=c, as.is="gdsnode", target.node=n.t)

# matrix transpose
read.gdsn(n.t)

##      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
## [1,]    1    2    3    4
## [2,]    5    6    7    8
## [3,]    9   10   11   12
## [4,]   13   14   15   16
## [5,]   17   18   19   20

# close the GDS file

Floating-point number vs. packed real number

In computing, floating point is a method of representing an approximation of a real number in a way that can support a trade-off between range and precision, which can be represented exactly is of the following form “significand \(\times\) 2^exponent”. A packed real number in GDS format is defined as “int \(\times\) scale \(+\) offset”, where int can be a 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit signed interger. In some cases, the strategy of packed real numbers can significantly improve the compression ratio for real numbers.

Limited random-access of compressed data

10,000,000 random 0,1 sequence of 32-bit integers
- in each 32 bits, one bit stores random 0,1 and others are ZERO
- lower bound of compression percentage is 1/32 = 3.125%
Testing:
- of 10,000 random positions, read a 32-bit integer
- compression ratio is maximized for each method
- compression method: none, ZIP, ZIP_ra, LZ4, LZ4_ra, LZMA, LZMA_ra
- ZIP_ra, LZ4_ra and LZMA_ra: data stored in the file are composed of multiple independent compressed blocks

Checksum for Data Integrity

Users can create hash function digests (e.g., md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512) to verify data integrity, and md5 is the default digest algorithm. For example,

# create a GDS file
f <- createfn.gds("test.gds")
n <- add.gdsn(f, "raw", rnorm(1115), compress="ZIP", closezip=TRUE)
digest.gdsn(n, action="add")

n <- index.gdsn(f, "raw")

get.attr.gdsn(n)$md5
