exprs

source of gene expression information to use as node aesthetics, for SingleCellExperiment objects it must be a name in assayNames(x), for a seurat object it must be one of data, raw.data or scale.data and for a Seurat object it must be one of data, counts or scale.data

dimensionality reduction to use as a source for x_value and y_value

Details

Data sources

Plotting a clustering tree requires information about which cluster each sample has been assigned to at different resolutions. This information can be supplied in various forms, as a matrix, data.frame or more specialised object. In all cases the object provided must contain numeric columns with the naming structure PXS where P is a prefix indicating that the column contains clustering information, X is a numeric value indicating the clustering resolution and S is any additional suffix to be removed. For SingleCellExperiment objects this information must be in the colData slot and for Seurat objects it must be in the meta.data slot. For all objects except matrices any additional columns can be used as aesthetics.

Filtering

Edges in the graph can be filtered by adjusting the count_filter and prop_filter parameters. The count_filter removes any edges that represent less than that number of samples, while the prop_filter removes edges that represent less than that proportion of cells in the node it points towards.

Node aesthetics

The aesthetics of the plotted nodes can be controlled in various ways. By default the colour indicates the clustering resolution, the size indicates the number of samples in that cluster and the transparency is set to 100%. Each of these can be set to a specific value or linked to a supplied metadata column. For a SingleCellExperiment or Seurat object the names of genes can also be used. If a metadata column is used than an aggregation function must also be supplied to combine the samples in each cluster. This function must take a vector of values and return a single value.

Colour aesthetic

The colour aesthetic can be applied to either edges or sample points by setting use_colour. If "edges" is selected edges will be coloured according to the clustering resolution they originate at. If "points" is selected they will be coloured according to the cluster they are assigned to at the highest resolution.

Dimensionality reductions

For SingleCellExperiment and Seurat objects precomputed dimensionality reductions can be used for x or y aesthetics. To do so red_dim must be set to the name of a dimensionality reduction in reducedDimNames(x) (for a SingleCellExperiment) or x@dr (for a Seurat object). x_value and y_value can then be set to red_dimX when red_dim matches the red_dim argument and X is the column of the dimensionality reduction to use.

Value

a ggplot object if plot_sides is FALSE or a list of ggplot objects if plot_sides is TRUE

Examples

clustree_overlay(nba_clusts, prefix = "K", x_value = "PC1", y_value = "PC2")
