library(MultiAssayExperiment)
library(HDF5Array)
library(SummarizedExperiment)The HDF5Array package provides an on-disk representation of large datasets
without the need to load them into memory. Convenient lazy evaluation
operations allow the user to manipulate such large data files based on
metadata. The DelayedMatrix class in the DelayedArray package provides a
way to connect to a large matrix that is stored on disk.
First, we create a small matrix for constructing the DelayedMatrix class.
smallMatrix <- matrix(rnorm(10e5), ncol = 20)We add rownames and column names to the matrix object for compatibility with
the MultiAssayExperiment representation.
rownames(smallMatrix) <- paste0("GENE", seq_len(nrow(smallMatrix)))
colnames(smallMatrix) <- paste0("SampleID", seq_len(ncol(smallMatrix)))Here we use the DelayedArray constructor function to create a
DelayedMatrix object.

In order to make use of this functionality, we would use writeHDF5Array
with the with.dimnames argument:
testh5 <- tempfile(fileext = ".h5")

Shown below, the DelayedMatrix can be put into a named list and passed into
the MultiAssayExperiment constructor function.
HDF5MAE <- MultiAssayExperiment(experiments = list(smallMatrix = smallMatrix))
sampleMap(HDF5MAE)## DataFrame with 20 rows and 3 columns

with the SummarizedExperiment class and it can even include rowRanges.
The flexibility of the MultiAssayExperiment API supports classes with
minimal requirements. Additionally, this SummarizedExperiment with the
DelayedMatrix backend can be part of a bigger MultiAssayExperiment object.
Below is a minimal example of how this would work:
HDF5SE <- SummarizedExperiment(assays = smallMatrix)
assay(HDF5SE)## <50000 x 20> DelayedMatrix object of type "double":

## experiment with a user-defined name and respective class.
## Containing an ExperimentList class object of length 1:
## [1] HDF5SE: SummarizedExperiment with 50000 rows and 20 columns
## Functionality:
## experiments() - obtain the ExperimentList instance
## colData() - the primary/phenotype DataFrame
## sampleMap() - the sample coordination DataFrame
## `$`, `[`, `[[` - extract colData columns, subset, or experiment
## *Format() - convert into a long or wide DataFrame
## assays() - convert ExperimentList to a SimpleList of matrices
## exportClass() - save data to flat filesAdditional scenarios are currently in development where an HDF5Matrix is
hosted remotely. Many opportunities exist when considering on-disk and off-disk
representations of data with MultiAssayExperiment.
