#                      use <package>::<function>() idiom throughout,
#                      use Biocmanager:: not biocLite()
#           1.0    New code.

# GOSim is an R-package in the Bioconductor project.
if (! requireNamespace("GOSim", quietly = TRUE)) {
  BiocManager::install("GOSim")
}
# Package information:
#  library(help = GOSim)       # basic information
#  browseVignettes("GOSim")    # available vignettes
#  data(package = "GOSim")     # available datasets

# GOSim makes extensive assumptions about loaded packages, and many base
# methods are masked. We will thus use library(GOSim) to load it
# in its entirety and with all packages it depends on. We will still use
# the <package>::<function>() syntax in the code below, but this now serves
# more of a didactic purpose, rather than actual syntax requirements.

library(GOSim)

# GOSim loads human annotations in  org.Hs.eg.db  by default. We load yeast
# annotations instead...
if (! requireNamespace("org.Sc.sgd.db", quietly = TRUE)) {
  BiocManager::install("org.Sc.sgd.db")
}

# Bioconductor annotation packages won't work stably unless we actually load
# them:
library(org.Sc.sgd.db)

# org.Sc.sgd.db is a Bioconductor annotation database curated by SGD. Such
# databases exist for all model organisms. It's a kind of a fancy data frame
# from which we can get annotations by rows (genes) with the keys() funtion ...
AnnotationDbi::keys(org.Sc.sgd.db)[1500:1510]

# ... and the types of available annotations with the columns() function
AnnotationDbi::columns(org.Sc.sgd.db)

# Note that one of the columns is "GO" ... and we load that into the
# datastructures used by GOSim:

# Choose GOterms to use
GOSim::setEvidenceLevel(evidences = "all",
                        organism = org.Sc.sgdORGANISM,
                        gomap = org.Sc.sgdGO)

# Use Biological Process ontology
GOSim::setOntology("BP", loadIC = FALSE)

# confirm that we loaded the correct ontology
head(get("gomap", envir = GOSimEnv))



# =    2  Fetch GO Annotations  ================================================


# All keys being used here are yeast systematic names.

# Get one set of annotations
GOSim::getGOInfo(c("YDL056W"))  # Mbp1


# =    3  Semantic Similarities  ===============================================


# Get semantic similarities between genes
?getGeneSim

# There are _many_ different metrics of term similarity implemented
# in this package.

                                                         # Mbp1 and...
GOSim::getGeneSim("YDL056W","YLR182W",similarity = "OA") # Swi6 - MCB complex
GOSim::getGeneSim("YDL056W","YER111C",similarity = "OA") # Swi4 - collaborators
GOSim::getGeneSim("YDL056W","YBR160W",similarity = "OA") # Cdc28 - mediator
GOSim::getGeneSim("YDL056W","YGR108W",similarity = "OA") # Clb1 - antagonist
GOSim::getGeneSim("YDL056W","YLR079W",similarity = "OA") # Sic1 - antagonist
GOSim::getGeneSim("YDL056W","YJL130C",similarity = "OA") # Pgk1 - Gluconeogenesis


# =    4  GO Term Enrichment in Gene Sets  =====================================


# Calculating GO term enrichment in gene sets is done with the Bioconductor
# topGO package.
if (! requireNamespace("topGO", quietly = TRUE)) {
  BiocManager::install("topGO")
}
# Package information:
#  library(help = topGO)       # basic information
#  browseVignettes("topGO")    # available vignettes
#  data(package = "topGO")     # available datasets

# Once again - assumptions are made by GOsim that require us to load the
# topGO package wholesale:
library(topGO)

# Let's define a gene set: GOterm enrichment for G1/S switch activators:
mySet <- c("YFR028C", # Cdc14
           "YDL056W", # Mbp1
           "YLR182W", # Swi6
           "YER111C", # Swi4
           "YOR083W", # Whi5
           "YBR160W", # Cdc28
           "YMR199W", # Cln1
           "YPL256C", # Cln2
           "YAL040C") # Cln3

allGenes <- AnnotationDbi::keys(org.Sc.sgd.db)
allGenes <- allGenes[grep("^Y", allGenes)]  # This is the context against which
                                            # we define enrichment

myEnr <- GOenrichment(mySet, allGenes)

sort(myEnr$p.values)  # Any significantly enriched terms? All of these are ...

#Most significantly enriched is GO:0071931. What is this?
annotate::getGOTerm("GO:0071931")  # ... makes sense.
