Description

The scMerge method leverages factor analysis, stably expressed genes (SEGs) and (pseudo-) replicates to remove unwanted variations and merge multiple scRNA-Seq data.

runSCMerge(

  useAssay = "logcounts",

  assayName = "scMerge",
  seg = NULL,
  kmeansK = NULL,
  cellType = "cell_type",

)

Arguments

inSCE

SingleCellExperiment inherited object. Required.

useAssay

A single character indicating the name of the assay requiring batch correction. Default "logcounts".

batch

A single character indicating a field in colData that annotates the batches. Default "batch".

assayName

A single characeter. The name for the corrected assay. Will be saved to assay. Default "scMerge".

seg

A vector of gene names or indices that specifies SEG (Stably Expressed Genes) set as negative control. Pre-defined dataset with human and mouse SEG lists is available to user by running data('SEG'). Default NULL, and this value will be auto-detected by default with scSEGIndex.

kmeansK

An integer vector. Indicating the kmeans' K-value for each batch (i.e. how many subclusters in each batch should exist), in order to construct pseudo-replicates. The length of codekmeansK needs to be the same as the number of batches. Default NULL, and this value will be auto-detected by default, depending on cellType.

cellType

A single character. A string indicating a field in colData(inSCE) that defines different cell types. Default 'cell_type'.

nCores

An integer. The number of cores of processors to allocate for the task. Default 1L.

Value

The input SingleCellExperiment object with assay(inSCE, assayName) updated.
