# Overview

The `SomaScan.db` package is a platform-centric R package that provides 
extended biological annotations for analytes in the SomaScan assay menu, using 
resources provided by the [Bioconductor](https://bioconductor.org/) project. 
The package exposes a database object, `SomaScan.db`, which is an SQLite 
database that can be queried to retrieve annotations for SomaScan analytes. 

`SomaScan.db` is structured around a primary identifier, the SomaLogic 
sequence ID (`SeqId`). Please note that in some cases, this identifier may 
also be referred to as a "PROBEID". `SeqIds` are the cornerstone of 
the SomaScan assay, and are used to uniquely identify SomaLogic 
analytes. The `SomaScan.db` package enables mapping from `SeqIds` to other 
identifiers from popular public data repositories, many of which are 
gene-based, and vice versa. 

For more information about `SeqIds`, please see
[?SomaDataIO::SeqId](https://somalogic.github.io/SomaDataIO/reference/SeqId.html).

---------------------


## Installation

`SomaScan.db` can be installed from the most recent Bioconductor release using
the [BiocManager](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BiocManager) package:

```{r eval=FALSE}
# If not already installed, install BiocManager
if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) {
    install.packages("BiocManager")
}

BiocManager::install("SomaScan.db")
```

The development version of `SomaScan.db`, containing the most current 
features and/or updates, can be be installed from GitHub:

```{r eval=FALSE}
remotes::install_github("SomaLogic/SomaScan.db")
```

Once installed, the package can be loaded using the usual syntax:

```{r eval=FALSE}
library(SomaScan.db)
```


### Dependencies

The `SomaScan.db` package requires `R >= 4.3.0`, and depends on the 
following R packages:

* `methods` 
    - comes bundled with R installation
* `AnnotationDbi` (>= 1.56.2)
    - install from Bioconductor: `BiocManager::install("AnnotationDbi")`

You may also want to install another of SomaLogic's R packages,
[SomaDataIO](https://github.com/SomaLogic/SomaDataIO/),
which is designed for reading, writing, and manipulating
[ADATs](https://github.com/SomaLogic/SomaLogic-Data/blob/master/README.md).
If you have not already used `SomaDataIO` to work with your 
SomaScan data, you will likely find it highly useful. `SomaDataIO` is 
available on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=SomaDataIO).

---------------------


## Usage

The annotations in `SomaScan.db` can be queried using 5 methods that are 
common amongst Bioconductor annotation packages:

1. `keys` returns a list of all central identifiers in the package, aka 
SomaScan analytes, for which there are annotations available:
  
```{r eval=FALSE}
keys(SomaScan.db)
```

2. `keytypes` lists data types that can be used as keys to query the 
SQLite database:

```{r eval=FALSE}
keytypes(SomaScan.db)
```

3. `columns` lists all available data types:

```{r eval=FALSE}
columns(SomaScan.db)
```

4. `mapIds` retrieves annotation data (from only a single data type, aka 
column):

```{r eval=FALSE}
mapIds(SomaScan.db, keys = "18342-2", columns = "SYMBOL", multiVals = "first")
```

5. `select` retrieves annotation data en masse (from multiple columns) using 
values from `keys` and `columns`:

```{r eval=FALSE}
select(SomaScan.db, keys = "18342-2", columns = c("SYMBOL", "UNIPROT"))
```

`select` can also be used to identify `SeqIds` associated with a gene or
or protein of interest (here, `PROBEID` refers to the SomaScan `SeqIds`):

```{r eval=FALSE}
select(SomaScan.db, keys = "EGFR", keytype = "SYMBOL", columns = "PROBEID")
```


For more detailed usage examples, please see the `SomaScan.db` package 
vignettes, or the introductory vignette from Bioconductor's `AnnotationDbi`:

```{r}
vignette("IntroToAnnotationPackages", package = "AnnotationDbi")
```

## SomaScan Menus

The SomaScan menu version will be referenced at various points throughout this 
package and its documentation. Please see the table below for information 
about each menu:

| SomaScan version     | Common name    | Plex size[^1]  |
| :------------------- | :------------- | :------------- |
| v4.0                 | 5k             | 5,284          |
| v4.1                 | 7k             | 7,596          |
| v5.0                 | 11k            | 10,731         |

[^1]: `SomaScan.db` contains annotations for human protein targets only. 
However, some targets in the SomaScan menu are associated with biological 
entities not represented in this package. As such, this value may differ from 
the exact number in your ADAT.
