The goal of this exercise is to make you familiar with how to download data from Google Sheets and to briefly review some key concepts R functions and coding concepts.
We’ll do the following things: 1. DOWNLOAD ACCESSION IDs FROM A GOOGLE SHEET 2. REMOVE THE NAs 3. SELECT OUT ALL THE ISOFORMS EXCEPT ONE

dim(seleno_df_noDups)## [1] 37 2SELECTING 2 RANDOM SEQUENCES TO WORK WITH
Let’s select 2 random sequences to work with. We’ll use SAMPLE() to select a random index number to get.
First, lets make a vector that contains a unique number for each row of data:
indices <- 1:nrow(seleno_df_noDups)This would do the same thing
# with dim
indices <- 1:dim(seleno_df_noDups)[1]
# with length
indices <- 1:length(seleno_df_noDups$gene)or hard-coded
indices <- 1:37We can then use SAMPLE() to select 2 random numbers from this vector.
For x = we’ll use our vector of indices (1 to 37). For size we’ll use 2, since we want to pull out just 2 numbers. For replace we’ll use WHAT? since we don’t want to be ale to select the same number twice.
i.random.genes <- sample(x = indices,
size = 2,
replace = FALSE)Hard coded this would be
i.random.genes <- sample(x = c(1:37),
size = 2,
replace = FALSE)This gives me 2 indices values.
i.random.genes## [1] 36 5I can now use these index values to pull out 2 rows of data

For old-times sake we can make a dotplot.
Now for a dotplot
WE’RE MAKING EACH VECTOR IN THE LIST INTO A SEPARATE OBJECT.
prot1_vector <- seleno_thingy_clean[[1]]
prot2_vector <- seleno_thingy_clean[[2]]We can dotplot like this
seqinr::dotPlot(prot1_vector,
prot1_vector)
WE’RE ACCESSING THE ELEMENTS DIRECTLY FROM THE LIST.
seqinr::dotPlot(seleno_thingy_clean[[1]],
seleno_thingy_clean[[2]])Pairwise alignment
dotPlot likes things in a single vector, but pairwiseAlignment like a single string of characters, so as always we have to process the data.
WE’RE USING THE PASTE FUNCTION TO TAKE WHATEVER’S IN THE VECTOR AND COLLAPSE IT. "" MEANS THAT THERE IS NOTHING SEPARATING EACH ELEMENT OF THE VECTOR.
prot1_str <- paste(seleno_thingy_clean[[1]],sep = "", collapse = "")
prot2_str <- paste(seleno_thingy_clean[[2]],sep = "", collapse = "")So now things look like this THIS IS A VECTOR OF LENGTH 1, AND THAT 1 ELEMENT IS A VECTOR CONTAINING THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE.

score(align_out)## [1] -160.2561pid gives us A BETTER IDEA OF HOW MUCH THE SEQUENCES MATCH.
pid(align_out)## [1] 7.189542Of course, pid can be calculated several ways. THIS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE METHOD USED TO ALIGN THE SEQUENCES CAN BE DIFFERENT AND THE LENGTH OF THE ALIGNMENT.
