Description and examples

Provide plotting functions for genomic data types.

Many common data types used in genomics research are supported. Including, but not limited to, Hi-C, bed, bigwig and gene (GTF) file visualization. The basic idea is that figures can be composed of multiple panels which are arranged vertically and share a common x-axis representing genomic coordinates.

Each panel is created separately and then combined into a single figure. For example, when analyzing Hi-C data it is often interesting to correlate features in the Hi-C map with ChIP-seq tracks. In that case, one would first create a HicPlot object, which visualizes Hi-C data, and then a BigWigPlot object, which can plot bigwig files that are used during ChIP-seq analysis. Finally, the two objects are used to create a GenomicFigure.

Example

FAN-C comes with a few example datasets that can be used to explore the basic functionalities of the plotting module. The paths in this example are relative to the top-level fanc directory where the setup.py file is located.

Note

The paths to the example datasets can be accessed easily using the example_data dictionary:

import fanc
print(fanc.example_data)

Yields a dict with the user-specific path to the datasets:

{'chip_bedgraph': '/Users/example/fanc/fanc/test/data/test_plotting/CTCF_ChIP_FE_chr11_77-80Mb_mouse_embryo_fibroblasts.bedgraph.gz',
 'chip_bigwig': '/Users/example/fanc/fanc/test/data/test_plotting/CTCF_ChIP_FE_chr11_77-80Mb_mouse_embryo_fibroblasts.bigwig',
 'chip_peak_bed': '/Users/example/fanc/fanc/test/data/test_plotting/CTCF_ChIP_FE_chr11_77-80Mb_mouse_embryo_fibroblasts.peaks.bed.gz',
 'gene_gtf': '/Users/example/fanc/fanc/test/data/test_plotting/genes_mm10_chr11_77-80Mb.gtf.gz',
 'hic': '/Users/example/fanc/fanc/test/data/test_network/rao2014.chr11_77400000_78600000.hic'}

import fanc.plotting as fancplot

# Create Hic plot
hplot = fancplot.HicPlot("fanc/test/data/test_network/rao2014.chr11_77400000_78600000.hic")

# Create plot showing some CTCF ChIP-seq data from ENCODE
bplot = fancplot.BigWigPlot("fanc/test/data/test_plotting/CTCF_ChIP_FE_chr11_77-80Mb_mouse_embryo_fibroblasts.bigwig",
                         title="CTCF ChIP", ylabel="fold enrichment")

# Create plot of all genes in the region. The squash option in combination
# with the group_by option causes all exons of each gene to be merged.
# This is useful if the number of alternative transcripts is overwhelming
# the plot.
gplot = fancplot.GenePlot("fanc/test/data/test_plotting/genes_mm10_chr11_77-80Mb.gtf.gz",
                       group_by="gene_name", squash=True, show_labels=False,
                       title="mm10 genes")

# The created plots are used to generate a figure by passing them as a list
# to the GenomicFigure constructor. The order in which they are passed
# determines the order of panels in the figure.
gfig = fancplot.GenomicFigure([hplot, bplot, gplot])

# Plot a specific region of the genome
fig, axes = gfig.plot("chr11:77400000-78600000")

# Open plot in an interactive window
fig.show()

Example rendering of the above code saved using
``fig.savefig("example.png", dpi=100)``.

Editing figure and axes

The GenomicFigure.plot() function returns standard matplotlib Figure and a list of Axes instances that can be further adjusted using standard matplotlib methods. The matplotlib axes instance associated with each plot is also accesible from the “ax” property of each plot.

Warning

The Axes instances of the plot should only be edited after GenomicFigure.plot() has been called. Otherwise any changes that were made may be overwritten when the plot() method is called.

For example, to add a bit of annotating text at a specific location in the BigWigPlot, the example above can be edited as follows:

fig, axes = gfig.plot("chr11:77400000-78600000")
bplot.ax.text(77850000, 60, "Interesting peak!")
fig.show()

The coordinates in the Axes are data coordinates, the x-axis is genomic coordinates on the current chromosome and the y-axis in this case the fold-enrichment of the bigwig track.

Basic Plot types and options

Note

An explanation of each plot class and the parameters that it supports can be accessed by suffixing a question mark (in Ipython/Jupyter) or calling the help() function:

import fanc.plotting as fancplot
fancplot.BigWigPlot? # Ipython/Jupyter
help(fancplot.BigWigPlot) # standard python

A few basic parameters such as a title and the aspect ratio are available for all plot classes. The aspect ratio parameter is a floating point number between 0 and 1 that determines the height of the plot. A value of 1 results in a square plot, .5 represents a plot that is half as high as it is wide.

The GenomicFigure provides a few convenience parameters. Setting ticks_last=True for example removes tick labels from all panels but the last one which makes the overall plot more compact.

Independent x-axis and inverting x-axis

By default, the x-axis of all plots in a figure are linked, meaning that all plots display exactly the same region. In some situations in can be helpful to plot a multiple regions, such as when features in syntenic regions across multiple species need to be compared. Since syntenic regions can be on the + strand in some species and on the - strande, sometimes the x-axis also needs to be inverted to maintain correct orientation.

In this situation the independent-x option should be set in the GenomicFigure. As a result, the GenomicFigure.plot() method no longer expects a single region as argument, but a list of regions equal to the number of plots in the figure. We can modify the example above to illustrate this point:

gfig = fancplot.GenomicFigure([hplot, bplot, gplot], independent_x=True)
fig, axes = gfig.plot(["chr11:77400000-78600000", "chr11:77500000-78600000",
                       "chr11:77200000-78600000"])
fig.show()

Synchronize y-axis limits for multiple datasets

Sometimes it can be useful to synchronize y-axis limits across multiple datasets in order to compare their signals. Many plot types support plotting multiple datasets in the same panel, making comparisons easy:

bplot = fancplot.BigWigPlot(["dataset1.bigwig", "dataset2.bigwig"])

Alternatively it is possible to synchronize y-axis limits across panels using LimitGroup instances. In this example the y-axis limits are shared between bplot1 and bplot2 and seperately between bplot3 and bplot4:

ygroup = fancplot.LimitGroup()
ygroup2 = fancplot.LimitGroup(limit=(None, 10))
bplot1 = fancplot.BigWigPlot("dataset1.bigwig", ylim=ygroup)
bplot2 = fancplot.BigWigPlot("dataset2.bigwig", ylim=ygroup)
bplot3 = fancplot.BigWigPlot("dataset3.bigwig", ylim=ygroup2)
bplot4 = fancplot.BigWigPlot("dataset4.bigwig", ylim=ygroup2)

It is also possible to constrain the y-axis limits. Passing limit=(None, 10) to the constructor constrains the upper limit to a maximum of 10 while leaving the lower limit unconstrained.

Programmatic plotting using loops

fanc plotting is ideally suited for programmatic generation of many plots or dynamic assembly of multiple datasets in a single figure. In this example three Hi-C datasets are visualized in a single figure:

import fanc.plotting as fancplot
hic_datasets = ["my_data1.hic", "my_data2.hic", my_data3.hic"]
hic_plots = [fancplot.HicPlot(h, max_dist=500000) for h in hic_datasets]
gfig = fancplot.GenomicFigure(hic_plots)
regions = ["chr11:77400000-78600000", "chr11:1100000-13600000"]
for r in regions:
    fig, axes = gfig.plot(r)
    fig.savefig("plot_region_{}.png".format(r.replace(":", "_")))

class fanc.plotting.HighlightAnnotation(bed, plot1=None, plot2=None, plot_kwargs=None, **kwargs)

Vertical lines or rectangles (shaded regions) which can be positioned at specific genomic coordinates from a BED file and can span multiple panels of the GenomicFigure.

Useful for highlighting specific regions across multiple panels of figures.

__init__(bed, plot1=None, plot2=None, plot_kwargs=None, **kwargs)
Parameters:
  • bed (string or pybedtool.BedTool) – Anything pybedtools can parse. Path to BED-file GTF-file, or a list of tuples [(chr, start, end), …] If features are 1bp long, lines are drawn. If they are > 1bp rectangles are drawn. Their appearance can be controlled using the plot_kwargs.
  • plot1 – First plot where line should start. Default: First
  • plot2 – Second plot where line should end. Default: Last
  • plot_kwargs – Dictionary of properties which are passed to matplotlib.lines.Line2D or matplotlib.patches.Rectangle constructor
  • fix_chromosome (bool) – If True modify chromosome identifiers for this plot, removing or adding ‘chr’ as necessary. Default: False
class fanc.plotting.SymmetricNorm(vmin=None, vmax=None, percentile=None)

Normalizes data for plotting on a divergent colormap. Automatically chooses vmin and vmax so that the colormap is centered at zero.

__init__(vmin=None, vmax=None, percentile=None)
Parameters:
  • vmin – Choose vmin manually
  • vmax – Choose vmax manually
  • percentile – Instead of taking the minmum or maximum to automatically determine vmin/vmax, take the percentile. eg. with 5, vmin is 5%-ile, vmax 95%-ile
autoscale(A)

Set vmin, vmax to min, max of A.

autoscale_None(A)

If vmin or vmax are not set, use the min/max of A to set them.

class fanc.plotting.LimitGroup(limit=None, sig=2)

Can be used for synchronizing axis limits across multiple plots. Pass the same instance of this class to all plots that should have synchronized axis limits.

__init__(limit=None, sig=2)
Parameters:
  • limit – tuple (vmin, vmax) to set absolute limits for axis. Final limits will be chosen within this absolute limit. Pass None for vmin or vmax to set no limit. Default: (None, None)
  • sig – Round limits to sig significant digits. If None, don’t round. Default: 2
class fanc.plotting.MirrorMatrixPlot(top_plot, bottom_plot, gap=0, cax_gap=0.05, **kwargs)
