Creates a data frame giving the total number of sequences, number of unique
productive sequences, number of genomes, entropy, clonality, Gini
coefficient, and the frequency (%) of the top productive sequences in a list
of sample data frames.
Usage
clonality(file.list)
Arguments
file.list
A list of data frames consisting of antigen receptor
sequencing imported by the LymphoSeq function readImmunoSeq. "aminoAcid", "count",
"frequencyCount", and "estimatedNumberGenomes" are required columns. Note
that the function is not intended to be run using a productive sequence list
generated by the function productiveSeq.
Details
Clonality is derived from the Shannon entropy, which is calculated
from the frequencies of all productive sequences divided by the logarithm of
the total number of unique productive sequences. This normalized entropy
value is then inverted (1 - normalized entropy) to produce the clonality
metric.
The Gini coefficient is an alternative metric used to calculate repertoire
diversity and is derived from the Lorenz curve. The Lorenz curve is drawn
such that x-axis represents the cumulative percentage of unique sequences and
the y-axis represents the cumulative percentage of reads. A line passing
through the origin with a slope of 1 reflects equal frequencies of all clones.
The Gini coefficient is the ratio of the area between the line of equality
and the observed Lorenz curve over the total area under the line of equality.
Both Gini coefficient and clonality are reported on a scale from 0 to 1 where
0 indicates all sequences have the same frequency and 1 indicates the
repertoire is dominated by a single sequence.
Value
Returns a data frame giving the total number of sequences, number of
unique productive sequences, number of genomes, entropy, clonality,
Gini coefficient, and the frequency (%) of the top productive sequence in each sample.
