hdxstats

hdxstats: An R-package for statistical analysis of hydrogen deuterium exchange mass-spectrometry data. hdxstats provides flexible data analysis approaches for hdx-ms data. By exploiting functional data analysis techniques and emprirical Bayes methodology, the approaches within control false positives whilest maintaining power.

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. license

Basic ideas and concepts

  • Start with HDX-MS data in a QFeatures object and perform statistical workflows and visualisation.

hdxstats require data to be stored in a particular format, we provide guidance based on the output of standard software but any .csv should be coercible. The QFeatures object ensures reproducibility and standardisation

hdxstats uses rigourous statistical testing for determining the differences between hdx-ms on a peptide-per-peptide basis.

hdxstats provides a number of visualisation tools, please see the vignettes for examples

Installation requirements

Users will require a working version of R, currently at least version >4.1. It is recommend to use the last version of RStudio. The package can then be installed using the devtools package. The package should take a few minutes to install on a regular desktop or laptop. The package will need to be loaded using library(hdxstats)

devtools::install_github("ococrook/hdxstats")

Examples

See vignettes for example analysis, including epitope mapping.

Compatible experimental designs

We suggest discussing with a statistican prior to performing experiments. However, the following rules of thumb will be useful:

  1. Aim for at least 3 time points e.g. 0, 30, 300 seconds with 1 replicate.
  2. Adding more timepoints and replicates will substantially improve statistical power (ability to detect differences).
  3. Two replicates at each time point, will stablise analysis considerably.
  4. For more subtle differences, more replicates will be better than more time points.
  5. For better mechanistic insights, more timepoints are preferred.
