# (PART) Case studies {-} # Human PBMCs (10X Genomics) ## Introduction This performs an analysis of the public PBMC ID dataset generated by 10X Genomics [@zheng2017massively], starting from the filtered count matrix. ## Data loading ```r library(TENxPBMCData) all.sce <- list( pbmc3k=TENxPBMCData('pbmc3k'), pbmc4k=TENxPBMCData('pbmc4k'), pbmc8k=TENxPBMCData('pbmc8k') ) ``` ## Quality control ```r unfiltered <- all.sce ``` Cell calling implicitly serves as a QC step to remove libraries with low total counts and number of detected genes. Thus, we will only filter on the mitochondrial proportion. ```r library(scater) stats <- high.mito <- list() for (n in names(all.sce)) { current <- all.sce[[n]] is.mito <- grep("MT", rowData(current)$Symbol_TENx) stats[[n]] <- perCellQCMetrics(current, subsets=list(Mito=is.mito)) high.mito[[n]] <- isOutlier(stats[[n]]$subsets_Mito_percent, type="higher") all.sce[[n]] <- current[,!high.mito[[n]]] } ``` ```r qcplots <- list() for (n in names(all.sce)) { current <- unfiltered[[n]] colData(current) <- cbind(colData(current), stats[[n]]) current$discard <- high.mito[[n]] qcplots[[n]] <- plotColData(current, x="sum", y="subsets_Mito_percent", colour_by="discard") + scale_x_log10() } do.call(gridExtra::grid.arrange, c(qcplots, ncol=3)) ```
Percentage of mitochondrial reads in each cell in each of the 10X PBMC datasets, compared to the total count. Each point represents a cell and is colored according to whether that cell was discarded.

```r lapply(high.mito, summary) ``` ``` ## $pbmc3k ## Mode FALSE TRUE ## logical 2609 91 ## ## $pbmc4k ## Mode FALSE TRUE ## logical 4182 158 ## ## $pbmc8k ## Mode FALSE TRUE ## logical 8157 224 ``` ## Normalization We perform library size normalization, simply for convenience when dealing with file-backed matrices. ```r all.sce <- lapply(all.sce, logNormCounts) ``` ```r lapply(all.sce, function(x) summary(sizeFactors(x))) ``` ``` ## $pbmc3k ## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. ## 0.234 0.748 0.926 1.000 1.157 6.604 ## ## $pbmc4k ## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. ## 0.315 0.711 0.890 1.000 1.127 11.027 ## ## $pbmc8k ## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. ## 0.296 0.704 0.877 1.000 1.118 6.794 ``` ## Variance modelling ```r library(scran) all.dec <- lapply(all.sce, modelGeneVar) all.hvgs <- lapply(all.dec, getTopHVGs, prop=0.1) ``` ```r par(mfrow=c(1,3)) for (n in names(all.dec)) { curdec <- all.dec[[n]] plot(curdec$mean, curdec$total, pch=16, cex=0.5, main=n, xlab="Mean of log-expression", ylab="Variance of log-expression") curfit <- metadata(curdec) curve(curfit$trend(x), col='dodgerblue', add=TRUE, lwd=2) } ```
Per-gene variance as a function of the mean for the log-expression values in each PBMC dataset. Each point represents a gene (black) with the mean-variance trend (blue) fitted to the variances.

## Dimensionality reduction For various reasons, we will first analyze each PBMC dataset separately rather than merging them together. We use randomized SVD, which is more efficient for file-backed matrices. ```r library(BiocSingular) set.seed(10000) all.sce <- mapply(FUN=runPCA, x=all.sce, subset_row=all.hvgs, MoreArgs=list(ncomponents=25, BSPARAM=RandomParam()), SIMPLIFY=FALSE) set.seed(100000) all.sce <- lapply(all.sce, runTSNE, dimred="PCA") set.seed(1000000) all.sce <- lapply(all.sce, runUMAP, dimred="PCA") ``` ## Clustering ```r for (n in names(all.sce)) { g <- buildSNNGraph(all.sce[[n]], k=10, use.dimred='PCA') clust <- igraph::cluster_walktrap(g)$membership colLabels(all.sce[[n]]) <- factor(clust) } ``` ```r lapply(all.sce, function(x) table(colLabels(x))) ``` ``` ## $pbmc3k ## ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ## 487 154 603 514 31 150 179 333 147 11 ## ## $pbmc4k ## ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ## 497 185 569 786 373 232 44 1023 77 218 88 54 36 ## ## $pbmc8k ## ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ## 1004 759 1073 1543 367 150 201 2067 59 154 244 67 76 285 20 15 ## 17 18 ## 64 9 ``` ```r all.tsne <- list() for (n in names(all.sce)) { all.tsne[[n]] <- plotTSNE(all.sce[[n]], colour_by="label") + ggtitle(n) } do.call(gridExtra::grid.arrange, c(all.tsne, list(ncol=2))) ```

## Data integration With the per-dataset analyses out of the way, we will now repeat the analysis after merging together the three batches. ```r # Intersecting the common genes. universe <- Reduce(intersect, lapply(all.sce, rownames)) all.sce2 <- lapply(all.sce, "[", i=universe,) all.dec2 <- lapply(all.dec, "[", i=universe,) # Renormalizing to adjust for differences in depth. library(batchelor) normed.sce <- do.call(multiBatchNorm, all.sce2) # Identifying a set of HVGs using stats from all batches. combined.dec <- do.call(combineVar, all.dec2) combined.hvg <- getTopHVGs(combined.dec, n=5000) set.seed(1000101) merged.pbmc <- do.call(fastMNN, c(normed.sce, list(subset.row=combined.hvg, BSPARAM=RandomParam()))) ``` We use the percentage of lost variance as a diagnostic measure. ```r metadata(merged.pbmc)$merge.info$lost.var ``` ``` ## pbmc3k pbmc4k pbmc8k ## [1,] 7.003e-03 3.126e-03 0.000000 ## [2,] 7.137e-05 5.125e-05 0.003003 ``` We proceed to clustering: ```r g <- buildSNNGraph(merged.pbmc, use.dimred="corrected") colLabels(merged.pbmc) <- factor(igraph::cluster_louvain(g)$membership) table(colLabels(merged.pbmc), merged.pbmc$batch) ``` ``` ## ## pbmc3k pbmc4k pbmc8k ## 1 508 395 810 ## 2 327 588 1125 ## 3 185 122 218 ## 4 150 180 294 ## 5 175 340 581 ## 6 292 542 1014 ## 7 347 638 1202 ## 8 436 760 1558 ## 9 17 27 111 ## 10 114 388 832 ## 11 33 109 179 ## 12 11 54 160 ## 13 11 3 9 ## 14 3 36 64 ``` And visualization: ```r set.seed(10101010) merged.pbmc <- runTSNE(merged.pbmc, dimred="corrected") gridExtra::grid.arrange( plotTSNE(merged.pbmc, colour_by="label", text_by="label", text_colour="red"), plotTSNE(merged.pbmc, colour_by="batch") ) ```
