OrderCpGsByLocation Fails for "bad" probe IDs

[gabrielodom]

When re-creating the data sets in inst/extdata/, I ran into the following bug. There are 19 probes included in IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b2.hg19::Other which are not included in the corresponding sesameData manifest GRanges. When this happens, the OrderCpGsByLocation() function fails with the error "Error: subscript contains invalid names". I am adding a check to remove probe IDs which are not contained in the manifest with an error if none of the probes are contained in that manifest.

For documentation, the bad probes are:

c("cg01420942", "cg04099150", "cg04726360", "cg08777477", "cg10784100", 
"cg12667768", "cg15353533", "cg15719326", "cg18918478", "cg19273712", 
"cg21479731", "cg21701692", "cg21732824", "cg22105103", "cg22802935", 
"cg25007799", "cg25258605", "cg26657539", "cg26993204")

Also, this function is missing a match.arg() call for the output argument. That's a quick fix though.

@tiagochst and @lxw391, are you ok with these changes? Should I add a warning if any of the probes are removed?

[lxw391]

@gabrielodom it's ok to remove those CpGs, they are probably the ones masked by the sesame R package. You can read "How/Why Probes Are Masked?" at https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/sesame/inst/doc/sesame.html and this paper to understand more about the masking process https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/45/4/e22/2290930 . Check sesameDataGet('HM450.probeInfo')$mask to see the listed probes are included

[gabrielodom]

Thank you Lily! @fveitz, can you take a look at the masked probes and see if they match the bad probes we found?

[gabrielodom]

@fveitz, is this fixed?

[gabrielodom]

It's not a masking issue. Of the bad probes, only "cg15353533" "cg21732824" "cg22105103" were in the masked set of probes.

[tiagochst]

@gabrielodom it is not a annotation version problem ?

[tiagochst]

Maybe changing IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b2.hg19 to IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b4.hg19 would fix the problem ?

[gabrielodom]

Great idea! We have IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b2.hg19 in our Suggests field right now. Is there an updated analogue for 450k as well?
