# Introduction

Welcome to the `ORFik` package. This vignette will walk you through our detailed package usage with examples.
`ORFik` is an R package containing various functions for analysis of RiboSeq, RNASeq and CageSeq data.  

`ORFik` currently supports:  

1. Finding Open Reading Frames (very fast) in the genome of interest or on the 
set of transcripts/sequences.  
2. Automatic estimations of RiboSeq footprint shift.  
3. Utilities for metaplots of RiboSeq coverage over gene START and STOP codons 
allowing to spot the shift.  
4. Shifting functions for the RiboSeq data.  
5. Finding new Transcription Start Sites with the use of CageSeq data.  
6. Various measurements of gene identity e.g. FLOSS, coverage, ORFscore, 
entropy that are recreated based on many scientific publications.  
7. Utility functions to extend GenomicRanges for faster grouping, splitting, 
tiling etc. 
8. Several standardized plots for coverage and metacoverage of NGS data, 
including smart grouping functions for easier prototyping.

# Finding Open Reading Frames 

In molecular genetics, an Open Reading Frame (ORF) is the part of a reading 
frame that has the ability to be translated. It does not mean that every ORF is
being translated or is functional, but to be able to find novel genes we must be
able to firstly identify potential ORFs.

To find all Open Reading Frames (ORFs) and possibly map them to genomic 
coordinates `ORFik` gives you three main functions:

* `findORFs` - find ORFs in sequences of interest,
* `findMapORFs` - find ORFs and map them to their respective genomic coordinates 
* `findORFsFasta` - find ORFs in Fasta file or `BSGenome` (supports circular genomes!)

## Example of finding ORFs in on 5' UTR of hg19

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, message = FALSE}
library(ORFik)
library(GenomicFeatures)
```

After loading libraries, load example data from `GenomicFeatures`. We load gtf 
file as txdb. We will extract the 5' leaders to find all upstream open reading 
frames.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
txdbFile <- system.file("extdata", "hg19_knownGene_sample.sqlite", 
                        package = "GenomicFeatures")
txdb <- loadTxdb(txdbFile)
fiveUTRs <- fiveUTRsByTranscript(txdb, use.names = TRUE)
fiveUTRs[1]
```

As we can see we have extracted 5' UTRs for hg19 annotations. Now we can load
`BSgenome` version of human genome (hg19). If you don't have this package 
installed you will not see the result from the code below. You might have to 
install `BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19` and run the code for yourself as we don't
install this package together with `ORFik`.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, message = FALSE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {

  # Extract sequences of fiveUTRs.
  # Either you import fasta file of ranges, or you have some BSgenome.
  tx_seqs <- extractTranscriptSeqs(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19::Hsapiens, 
                                   fiveUTRs) 
  
  # Find all ORFs on those transcripts and get their genomic coordinates
  fiveUTR_ORFs <- findMapORFs(fiveUTRs, tx_seqs, groupByTx = FALSE)
  fiveUTR_ORFs
}
```

In the example above you can see that fiveUTR_ORFs are grouped by transcript, 
the first group is from transcript "uc010ogz.1". Meta-column names contains name 
of the transcript and identifier of the ORF separated by "_". When ORF is 
separated into two exons you can see it twice, like the first ORF with name 
"uc010ogz.1_1". The first ORF will always be the one most upstream for "+" 
strand, and the least upstream for "-" strand.

## Getting fasta sequences of ORFs

Now lets see how easy it is to get fasta sequences from the ranges

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, message = FALSE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  extractTranscriptSeqs(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19::Hsapiens, fiveUTR_ORFs[1])
  # To save as .fasta do, assign to variable (seqs):
  # writeXStringSet(seqs, filepath = "uorfs.fasta")
}
```
You can see orf 1 named (uc010ogz.1_1) has a CTG start codon, a TAG stop codon and 159/3 = 53 codons. We will now look on ORFik functions to get startcodons and stopcodon etc.

# New GRanges and GRangesList utilities for ORFs

`ORFik` contains functions that can be utilized to speed up your coding.
Check documentations for these functions: `sortPerGroup`, `unlistGrl`, 
`strandBool`, `tile1`.

## Grouping ORFs

Sometimes you want all ORFs grouped by which transcript they came from,
or you might want each ORF as a group in the GRangesList. To
do this more easily you can use the function `groupGRangesBy`.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}

if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # The ORFs are now grouped by transcripts, but we want them grouped by ORFs:
  # we use the orfs exon column called ($names) to group, it is made by ORFik.
  unlisted_ranges <- unlistGrl(fiveUTR_ORFs)
  test_ranges <- groupGRangesBy(unlisted_ranges, unlisted_ranges$names)
  print("Grouped by ORF")
  print(test_ranges[1:2])
  # the orfs are now grouped by orfs. If we want to go back to transcripts we do:
  unlisted_ranges <- unlistGrl(test_ranges)
  test_ranges <- groupGRangesBy(unlisted_ranges) # <- defualt is tx grouping by names
  print("Grouped by Transcript")
  print(unlisted_ranges)
}
```

## Filtering example

Lets say you found some ORFs, and you want to filter out some of them.
ORFik provides several functions for filtering. A problem with the
original GenomicRanges container, is that filtering on GRanges objects
are much easier than on GRangesList objects, ORFik tries to fix this.

In this example we will filter out all orfs as following:
* 1. First group GRangesList by ORFs
* 2. width < 60
* 3. number of exons < 2
* 4. strand is negative

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}

if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # lets use the fiveUTR_ORFs
  #1. Group by ORFs, if ORFs are grouped by transcripts it would make no sense.
  unlisted_ranges <- unlistGrl(fiveUTR_ORFs)
  ORFs <- groupGRangesBy(unlisted_ranges, unlisted_ranges$names)
  print(length(ORFs))
  #2. Remove widths < 60
  ORFs <- ORFs[widthPerGroup(ORFs) >= 60]
  print(length(ORFs))
  #3. Keep only ORFs with at least 2 exons
  ORFs <- ORFs[numExonsPerGroup(ORFs) > 1]
  print(length(ORFs))
  
  #4. Keep only positive ORFs
  ORFs <- ORFs[strandPerGroup(ORFs) == "+"]
  # all remaining ORFs where on positive strand, so no change
  length(ORFs)
}
```

## ORF interest regions

Specific part of the ORF are usually of interest, like start and stop codons.
Here we run an example to show what ORFik can do for you.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # let's use the ORFs from the previous examples
  #1. Find the start and stop sites as GRanges
  startSites(fiveUTR_ORFs, asGR = TRUE, keep.names = TRUE, is.sorted = TRUE)
  stopSites(fiveUTR_ORFs, asGR = TRUE, keep.names = TRUE, is.sorted = TRUE)
  
  #2. Lets find the start and stop codons,
  # this takes care of potential 1 base exons etc. 
  starts <- startCodons(fiveUTR_ORFs, is.sorted = TRUE)
  stops <- stopCodons(fiveUTR_ORFs, is.sorted = TRUE)
  print("Start codon ranges:")
  print(starts[1:2])
  
  #3. Lets get the bases of the start and stop codons from the fasta file
  # It's very important to check that ORFs are sorted here, set is.sorted to 
  # FALSE if you are not certain if the exons are sorted.
  txSeqsFromFa(starts, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19::Hsapiens, is.sorted = TRUE)
  print("Stop codons")
  txSeqsFromFa(stops, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19::Hsapiens, is.sorted = TRUE)
  }
```

Many more operations are also supported for manipulation of ORFs

# When to use which ORFfinding function

ORFik supports multiple ORF finding functions, here we describe their specific
use.

Which function you will use depend on which organism the data is from, and
specific parameters, like circular or non circular genomes, will you use
a transcriptome etc. 

There are 4 standard ways of finding ORFs:
* 1. You have some fasta file of the genome only. (For prokaryotes/circular  genomes)
* 2. You have some fasta file of the genome and a spliced transcriptome
   annotation. (For eucaryotes with splicing)
* 3. You have a fasta file of transcripts (eucaryotes or prokaryotes)
* 4. You have a vector of transcripts preloaded in R.

Let's start with the simplest case, a vector of preloaded transcripts. 

Lets say you have some transcripts and want to find all ORFs on them.
findORFs() will give you only 5' to 3' direction, so if you want both directions,
you can do (for strands in both direction):
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
  library(Biostrings)
  library(S4Vectors)
  # strand with ORFs in both directions
  seqs <- DNAStringSet("ATGAAATGAAGTAAATCAAAACAT")
  ######################>######################< (< > is direction of ORF)
  
  # positive strands
  pos <- findORFs(seqs, startCodon = "ATG", minimumLength = 0)
  # negative strands
  neg <- findORFs(reverseComplement(seqs),
                  startCodon = "ATG", minimumLength = 0)
  # make GRanges since we want strand information
  pos <- GRanges(pos, strand = "+")
  neg <- GRanges(neg, strand = "-")
  # as GRanges
  res <- c(pos, neg)
  # or merge together and make GRangesList
  res <- split(res, seq.int(1, length(pos) + length(neg)))
  res
```
Remember that these results are in transcript coordinates, sometimes you need
to convert them to Genomic coordinates.

## Finding ORFs in spliced transcripts
If you have a genome and a spliced transcriptome annotation, you must use findMapORFs(). 
It takes care of the potential problem from the last example, 
that we really want our result in genomic coordinates in the end.

## Prokaryote/Circular Genomes and fasta transcriptomes.
Use findORFsFasta(is.circular = TRUE).
Note that findORFsFasta automaticly finds (-) strand ORFs. Since that is 
normally used for genomes.

## Filter on strand
If you have fasta transcriptomes, you dont want the (-) strand. Since 
all transcripts are in the direction in the fasta file.
If you get both (+/-) strand and only want (+) ORFs, do:
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
  res[strandBool(res)] # Keep only + stranded ORFs
```

See individual functions for more examples.

# CageSeq data for 5' UTR re-annotation

In the prerevious example we used the refence annotation of the 5' UTRs
from the package GenomicFeatures. Here we will use advantage of CageSeq data to 
set new Transcription Start Sites (TSS) and re-annotate 5' UTRs. This is useful to improve
tissue specific transcripts. 

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE} 
# path to example CageSeq data from hg19 heart sample
cageData <- system.file("extdata", "cage-seq-heart.bed.bgz", 
                        package = "ORFik")
# get new Transcription Start Sites using CageSeq dataset
newFiveUTRs <- reassignTSSbyCage(fiveUTRs, cageData)
newFiveUTRs
```

You will now see that most of the transcription start sites have changed. 
Depending on the species, regular annotations might be incomplete or not 
specific enough for your purposes. 

NOTE: IF you want to edit the whole txdb / gtf file, use reassignTxDbByCage.
And save this to get the new gtf with reannotated leaders by CAGE.

  
# RiboSeq footprints automatic shift detection and shifting

In RiboSeq data ribosomal footprints are restricted to their p-site positions 
and shifted with respect to the shifts visible over the start and stop 
codons. `ORFik` has multiple functions for processing of RiboSeq data. We will
go through an example processing of RiboSeq data below.

Load example raw RiboSeq footprints (unshifted).
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE} 
bam_file <- system.file("extdata", "ribo-seq.bam", package = "ORFik")
footprints <- readBam(bam_file)
```

Investigate what footprint lengths are present in our data.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE} 
table(readWidths(footprints))
```

Lets look at how the reads distribute around the CDS per read length.

For that we need to prepare the transcriptome annotation.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE} 
gtf_file <- system.file("extdata", "annotations.gtf", package = "ORFik")
txdb <- loadTxdb(gtf_file)
tx <- exonsBy(txdb, by = "tx", use.names = TRUE)
cds <- cdsBy(txdb, by = "tx", use.names = TRUE)
trailers <- threeUTRsByTranscript(txdb, use.names = TRUE)
cds[1]
```

Restrict footprints to their 5' starts (after shifting it will be a p-site).
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE} 
footprintsGR <- convertToOneBasedRanges(footprints, addSizeColumn = TRUE)
footprintsGR
```
In the figure below we see why we need to p-shift, see that per length the 
start of the read are in different positions relative to the CDS start site.
The reads create a ladder going downwards, left to right. (see the blue steps)
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE} 
  hitMap <- windowPerReadLength(cds, tx,  footprintsGR, pShifted = FALSE)
  coverageHeatMap(hitMap, scoring = "transcriptNormalized")
```

Now lets see how we can p-shift the reads, we will go into detail how this is 
done. If you just want to run the function, without too much details, 
skip down to after the 2 comming bar plots.

For the sake of this example we will focus only on most abundant length of 29.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE} 
footprints <- footprints[readWidths(footprints) == 29]
footprintsGR <- footprintsGR[readWidths(footprintsGR) == 29]
footprints
```

Filter the cds annotation to only those that have some minimum trailer and 
leader lengths, as well as cds. 
Then get start and stop codons with extra window of 30bp around 
them.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE} 
txNames <- filterTranscripts(txdb) # <- get only transcripts that pass filter
tx <- tx[txNames]; cds <- cds[txNames]; trailers <- trailers[txNames];
windowsStart <- startRegion(cds[txNames], tx, TRUE, upstream = 30, 29)
windowsStop <- startRegion(trailers, tx, TRUE, upstream = 30, 29)
windowsStart
```

Calculate meta-coverage over start and stop windowed regions.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE} 
hitMapStart <- metaWindow(footprintsGR, windowsStart, withFrames = TRUE)
hitMapStop <- metaWindow(footprintsGR, windowsStop, withFrames = TRUE)
```

Plot start/stop windows for length 29.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE} 
  pSitePlot(hitMapStart)
```

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE} 
  pSitePlot(hitMapStop, region = "stop")
```
From these shifts ORFik uses a fourior transform to detect signal change needed 
to scale all read lengths of Ribo-seq to the start of the meta-cds. 

We can also use automatic detection of RiboSeq shifts using the code below. As
we can see reasonable conclusion from the plots would be to shift length 29 by
12, it is in agreement with the automatic detection of the offsets.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE} 
shifts <- detectRibosomeShifts(footprints, txdb, stop = TRUE)
shifts
```

Fortunately `ORFik` has function that can be used to shift footprints using 
desired shifts. See documentation for more details.
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE} 
shiftedFootprints <- shiftFootprints(footprints, shifts)
shiftedFootprints
```

# Gene identity functions for ORFs or genes

`ORFik` contains functions of gene identity that can be used to predict 
which ORFs are potentially coding and functional.

There are 2 main categories:

* Sequence features (kozak, gc-content, etc.)
* Read features (reads as: Ribo-seq, RNA-seq, TCP-seq, shape-seq etc)

- FLOSS `floss`,   
- coverage `coverage`,  
- ORFscore `orfScore`,  
- entropy `entropy`,  
- translational effiency `translationalEff`,  
- inside outside score `insideOutsideScore`,  
- distance between orfs and cds' `distToCds`,  
- other  

All of the features are implemented based on scientific article published in
peer reviewed journal. `ORFik` supports seemingles calculation of all available 
features. See example below.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE}
 if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  library(GenomicFeatures)

  # Extract sequences of fiveUTRs.
  fiveUTRs <- fiveUTRs[1:10]
  faFile <- BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19::Hsapiens
  tx_seqs <- extractTranscriptSeqs(faFile, fiveUTRs)

  # Find all ORFs on those transcripts and get their genomic coordinates
  fiveUTR_ORFs <- findMapORFs(fiveUTRs, tx_seqs)
  unlistedORFs <- unlistGrl(fiveUTR_ORFs)
  # group GRanges by ORFs instead of Transcripts, use 4 first ORFs
  fiveUTR_ORFs <- groupGRangesBy(unlistedORFs, unlistedORFs$names)[1:4]

  # make some toy ribo seq and rna seq data
  starts <- unlist(ORFik:::firstExonPerGroup(fiveUTR_ORFs), use.names = FALSE)
  RFP <- promoters(starts, upstream = 0, downstream = 1)
  score(RFP) <- rep(29, length(RFP)) # the original read widths

  # set RNA seq to duplicate transcripts
  RNA <- unlist(exonsBy(txdb, by = "tx", use.names = TRUE), use.names = TRUE)
  # transcript database
  txdb <- loadTxdb(txdbFile)
  dt <- computeFeatures(fiveUTR_ORFs, RFP, RNA, txdb, faFile, 
                        orfFeatures =  TRUE)
  dt
}
```
You will now get a data.table with one column per score, the columns are named after
the different scores, you can now go further with prediction, or making plots.

# Calculating Kozak sequence score for ORFs

Instead of getting all features, we can also extract single features.

To understand how strong the binding affinitity of an ORF promoter region might be, we can use kozak sequence score. The kozak functions supports
several species. In the first example we use human kozak sequence,
then we make a self defined kozak sequence.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
  # In this example we will find kozak score of cds' 

  if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {

    cds <- cdsBy(txdb, by = "tx", use.names = TRUE)[1:10]
    tx <- exonsBy(txdb, by = "tx", use.names = TRUE)[names(cds)]
    faFile <- BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19::Hsapiens

    kozakSequenceScore(cds, tx, faFile, species = "human")

    # A few species are pre supported, if not, make your own input pfm.

    # here is an example where the human pfm is sent in again, even though
    # it is already supported.

    pfm <- t(matrix(as.integer(c(29,26,28,26,22,35,62,39,28,24,27,17,
                                 21,26,24,16,28,32,5,23,35,12,42,21,
                                 25,24,22,33,22,19,28,17,27,47,16,34,
                                 25,24,26,25,28,14,5,21,10,17,15,28)),
                    ncol = 4))

   kozakSequenceScore(cds, tx, faFile, species = pfm)

  }

```

# Using ORFik in your package or scripts

The focus of ORFik for development is to be a swiss army knife for 
transcriptomics. If you need functions for splicing, getting windows of exons
per transcript, periodic windows of exons, speicific parts of exons etc, 
ORFik can help you with this. 

Let's do an example where ORFik shines.
Objective: We have three transcripts, we also have a library of Ribo-seq.
This library was treated with cyclohexamide, so we know Ribo-seq reads can
stack up close to the stop codon of the CDS. Lets say we only want to keep 
transcripts, where the cds stop region (defined as last 9 bases of cds), has
maximum 33% of the reads. To only keep transcripts with a good spread of reads 
over the CDS. How would you make this filter ?

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
  # First make som toy example
  cds <- GRanges("chr1", IRanges(c(1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80),
                                 c(5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85)),
                 "+")
  names(cds) <- c(rep("tx1", 3), rep("tx2", 3), rep("tx3", 3))
  cds <- groupGRangesBy(cds)
  ribo <- GRanges("chr1", c(1, rep.int(23, 4), 30, 34, 34, 43, 60, 64, 71, 74),
                  "+")
  # We could do a simplification and use the ORFik entropy function
  entropy(cds, ribo) # <- spread of reads
```
We see that ORF 1, has a low(bad) entropy, but we do not know where the reads 
are stacked up.
So lets make a new filter by using more ORFiks utility functions:
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
tile <- tile1(cds, FALSE, FALSE) # tile them to 1 based positions
tails <- tails(tile, 9) # get 9 last bases per cds
stopOverlap <- countOverlaps(tails, ribo)
allOverlap <- countOverlaps(cds, ribo)
fractions <- (stopOverlap + 1) / (allOverlap + 1) # pseudocount 1
cdsToRemove <- fractions > 1 / 2 # filter with pseudocounts (1+1)/(3+1) 
cdsToRemove
```
We now easily made a stop codon filter for our coding sequences.


# Coverage plots made easy with ORFik

In investigation of ORFs or other interest regions, ORFik can help you make
some coverage plots from reads of Ribo-seq, RNA-seq, CAGE-seq, TCP-seq etc.

Lets make 3 plots of Ribo-seq focused on CDS regions. 

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # Load data as shown before and pshift the Ribo-seq
  # Get the annotation
  txdb <- loadTxdb(gtf_file)
  # Lets take all valid transcripts, with size restrictions:
  # leader > 100 bases, cds > 100 bases, trailer > 100 bases
  txNames <- filterTranscripts(txdb, 100, 100, 100) # valid transcripts
  leaders = fiveUTRsByTranscript(txdb, use.names = TRUE)[txNames]
  cds <- cdsBy(txdb, "tx", use.names = TRUE)[txNames]
  trailers = threeUTRsByTranscript(txdb, use.names = TRUE)[txNames]
  tx <- exonsBy(txdb, by = "tx", use.names = TRUE)
  # Ribo-seq
  bam_file <- system.file("extdata", "ribo-seq.bam", package = "ORFik")
  reads <- readGAlignments(bam_file)
  shiftedReads <- shiftFootprints(reads, detectRibosomeShifts(reads, txdb))  
}
```


```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  library(data.table)
  # Create meta coverage per part of transcript
  leaderCov <- metaWindow(shiftedReads, leaders, scoring = NULL, 
                          feature = "leaders")

  cdsCov <- metaWindow(shiftedReads, cds, scoring = NULL, 
                       feature = "cds")
  
  trailerCov <- metaWindow(shiftedReads, trailers, scoring = NULL, 
                           feature = "trailers")
  # bind together
  dt <- rbindlist(list(leaderCov, cdsCov, trailerCov))
  # Now set info column
  dt[, `:=` (fraction = "Ribo-seq")]
  # NOTE: All of this is done in one line in function: windowPerTranscript
  
  # zscore gives shape, a good starting plot
  windowCoveragePlot(dt, scoring = "zscore", title = "Ribo-seq metaplot") 
}
```
Z-score is good at showing overall shape. You see from the windows each region;
leader, cds and trailer is scaled to 100.
Lets use a median scoring to find median counts per meta window per positions. 
```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  windowCoveragePlot(dt, scoring = "median", title = "Ribo-seq metaplot") 
}
```

We see a big spike close to start of CDS, called the TIS.
The median counts by transcript is close to 50 here.
Lets look at the TIS region using the pshifting plot, seperated into 
the 3 frames.

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # size 100 window: 50 upstream, 49 downstream of TIS
  windowsStart <- startRegion(cds, tx, TRUE, upstream = 50, 49)
  hitMapStart <- metaWindow(shiftedReads, windowsStart, withFrames = TRUE)
  pSitePlot(hitMapStart, length = "meta coverage")
}
```

Since these reads are p-shifted it is not that unexpected that the maximum 
number of reads are on the 0 position. We also see a clear pattern in the 
Ribo-seq.

To see how the different read lengths distribute over the region, we make 
a heatmap. Where the colors represent the zscore of counts per position. 

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, message = FALSE, fig.height=8}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # size 25 window (default): 5 upstream, 20 downstream of TIS
  hitMap <- windowPerReadLength(cds, tx,  shiftedReads)
  coverageHeatMap(hitMap, addFracPlot = TRUE)
}
```

In the heatmap you can see that read length 30 has the strongest peak on the 
TIS, while read length 28 has some reads in the leaders (the minus positions).

## Multiple data sets in one plot

Often you have multiple data sets you want to compare (like ribo-seq).

ORFik has an extensive syntax for automatic grouping of data sets in plots.

The protocol is:
1. Load all data sets
2. Create a merged coverage data.table
3. Pass it into the plot you want.

Here is an easy example:

```{r eval = TRUE, echo = TRUE, message=FALSE}
if (requireNamespace("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")) {
  # Load more files like above (Here I make sampled data from earlier Ribo-seq)
  dt2 <- copy(dt)
  dt2[, `:=` (fraction = "Ribo-seq2")]
  dt2$score <- dt2$score + sample(seq(-40, 40), nrow(dt2), replace = TRUE)
  
  dtl <- rbindlist(list(dt, dt2))
  windowCoveragePlot(dtl, scoring = "median", title = "Ribo-seq metaplots") 
}
```
You see that the fraction column is what seperates the rows. You can have unlimited datasets joined in this way.


Our hope is that by using ORFik, we can simplify your analysis when 
you focus on ORFs / transcript features and especially in combination with
sequence libraries like RNA-seq and Ribo-seq etc.
