This vignette assumes that you have an AnnData object at the ready. As an example, we create one from the ginhoux
dataset containing 248 dendritic cell progenitors.
library(SCORPIUS) library(anndata) data(ginhoux) adata <- AnnData( X = ginhoux$expression, obs = ginhoux$sample_info ) # short hand notation group_name <- adata$obs[["group_name"]] adata
SCORPIUS uses Torgerson multi-dimensional scaling to reduce the dataset to three dimensions. This technique attempts to place the cells in a space such that the distance between any two points in that space approximates the original distance between the two cells as well as possible.
The distance between any two samples is defined as their correlation distance, namely 1 - (cor(x, y)+1)/2
.
The reduced space is constructed as follows:
space <- reduce_dimensionality(adata$X, dist = "spearman", ndim = 3)
The new space is a matrix that can be visualised with or without colouring of the different cell types.
draw_trajectory_plot( space, progression_group = group_name, contour = TRUE )
The main goal of SCORPIUS is to infer a trajectory through the cells, and orden the cells according to the inferred timeline.
SCORPIUS infers a trajectory through several intermediate steps, which are all executed as follows:
traj <- infer_trajectory(space)
The result is a list containing the final trajectory path
and the inferred timeline for each sample time
.
The trajectory can be visualised with respect to the samples by passing it to draw_trajectory_plot
:
draw_trajectory_plot( space, progression_group = group_name, path = traj$path, contour = TRUE )
We search for genes whose expression is seems to be a function of the trajectory timeline that was inferred, as such genes might be good candidate marker genes for dendritic cell maturation.
gimp <- gene_importances(adata$X, traj$time, num_permutations = 0, num_threads = 8) gene_sel <- gimp[1:50,] expr_sel <- adata$X[,gene_sel$gene]
To visualise the expression of the selected genes, use the draw_trajectory_heatmap
function.
draw_trajectory_heatmap(expr_sel, traj$time, group_name)
Finally, these genes can also be grouped into modules as follows:
modules <- extract_modules(scale_quantile(expr_sel), traj$time, verbose = FALSE) draw_trajectory_heatmap(expr_sel, traj$time, group_name, modules)
adata$obsm[["X_mds"]] <- space adata$uns[["trajectory_path"]] <- traj$path adata$obs[["trajectory_pseudotime"]] <- traj$time adata$var[["trajectory_importance"]] <- gimp[match(adata$var_names, gimp$gene), ]$importance adata
