Pipeline analysis from raw data reading to graphic visualization
TSAR Package provides simple solution to qPCR data processing, computing thermal shift analysis given either raw fluorescent data or smoothed curves. The functions provide users with the protocol to conduct preliminary data checks and also expansive analysis on large scale of data. Furthermore, it showcases simple graphic presentation of analysis, generating clear box plot and line graphs given input of desired designs. Overall, TSAR Package offers a workflow easy to manage and visualize.
Load Package and other relevant packages. Usage of dplyr and ggplot2 along with TSAR package is recommended for enhanced analysis.
Use commands below to install TSAR package: library(BiocManager) BiocManager::install(“TSAR”)
Read data in .txt or .csv format. Use read.delim function to input tab delimited file; use read.csv to input comma separated files. Other formats of input are welcomed as long as data is stored in data frame structure as numeric type (calculation-required data) and characters (non-calculation-required data). Ensure excessive lines are removed (e.g. skip = , nrows = ). Means to check these are View(), pre-opening data file in excel, or manually removing all excessive data before input reading. Package defaults variable names as “Well.Position”, “Temperature”, “Fluorescence”, “Normalized”. Consider renaming data frame before proceding to following step.
Select data of individual cell for pre-analysis screening. e.g. select well A1
Run example analysis on one well to screen potential errors and enhancement of model.
# normalize fluorescence reading into scale between 0 and 1
test <- normalize(test, fluo = 5, selected = c(
"Well.Position", "Temperature",
"Fluorescence", "Normalized"
))
head(test)
#> Well.Position Temperature Fluorescence Normalized

gammodel <- model_gam(test, x = test$Temperature, y = test$Normalized)
test <- model_fit(test, model = gammodel)
Output analysis result using view_model()
to view
normalized data and fitted model. Determine if any noise need to be
removed (i.e. subsetting by temperature range). Determine which model is
the best (i.e. is currrent data already smoothed, does fitted model suit
well.) Determine if Tm-estimation is proper. *current model assumes
derivative estimation of Tm value.

Screen all wells for curve shape on raw_data set and sift out corrupted data. This step is not required but may help remove data modeling errors.
raw_data <- remove_raw(raw_data, removerange = c("B", "H", "1", "12"))
screen(raw_data) + theme(
aspect.ratio = 0.7,
legend.position = "bottom",
legend.text = element_text(size = 6),
legend.key.size = unit(0.4, "cm"),
legend.title = element_text(size = 8)
) +
guides(color = guide_legend(nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE))
TSAR package excels in mass analysis by propagating identical
protocols to all 96 wells. smoothed = T
infers current data
is smoothed and no separate modeling is needed. If modeling is needed,
input argument as smoothed = F
.
TSAR package performs derivative analysis using a generalized
additive model through package mgcv
or boltzmann analysis
using nlsLM from package minpack.lm
.
Read analysis using read_tsar() function and view head and tail to ensure appropriate output was achieved. Data output can also be saved locally into .csv or .txt format using function wrtie_tsar. However, pipeline to downstream analysis does not require output to be locally saved.

For downstream analysis, data need to be mapped towards specific ligand and compound. Use may input by default excel template included in the package or input as .txt or .csv table, specifying Ligand and Compound by Well ID. Data with coumpound and ligand labels can also be stored locally using the same mean as previous step. All data are kept including wells with blank condition information (specified as NA). In case removal is needed, call function na.omit().
