Import data from Cell Ranger

Description

import_data_from_cellranger() imports data from the output of one or more calls to Cell Ranger count. Each directory supplied as an input to this function should be in feature-barcode format, containing the files features.tsv.gz and matrix.mtx.gz (and optionally barcodes.tsv.gz). Users can create either a standard sceptre object or an ondisc-backed sceptre object; the latter is more appropriate for large-scale data. See the introductory chapter or Chapter 1 of the manual for more information about this function.

Usage

import_data_from_cellranger(
  directories,
  moi,
  grna_target_data_frame,
  extra_covariates = data.frame(),
  use_ondisc = FALSE,
  directory_to_write = NULL
)

Arguments

directories	a character vector of file paths to directories containing the output of one or more calls to Cell Ranger count. Each directory should contain the files matrix.mtx.gz and features.tsv.gz (and optionally barcodes.tsv.gz).
moi	a string indicating the MOI of the dataset, either "low" or "high".
grna_target_data_frame	a data frame containing columns grna_id and grna_target mapping each individual gRNA to its target. Non-targeting gRNAs should be assigned a label of "non-targeting". Optionally, grna_target_data_frame can contain columns chr, start, and end, giving the chromosome, start coordinate, and end coordiante, respectively, of each gRNA. Additionally, grna_target_data_frame can contain the column vector_id specifying the vector to which a given gRNA belongs.
extra_covariates	(optional) a data frame containing extra covariates (e.g., batch, biological replicate) beyond those that sceptre can compute.
use_ondisc	(optional; default FALSE) a logical indicating whether to store the expression data in a disk-backed ondisc matrix (TRUE) or an in-memory sparse matrix (FALSE).
directory_to_write	(optional) a string indicating the directory in which to write the backing .odm files (must be specified if use_ondisc is set to TRUE).

Value

an initialized sceptre_object

Examples

library(sceptredata)
data(grna_target_data_frame_highmoi)
directories <- paste0(
  system.file("extdata", package = "sceptredata"),
  "/highmoi_example/gem_group_", c(1, 2)
)

# 1. create a standard sceptre_object from Cell Ranger output
sceptre_object <- import_data_from_cellranger(
  directories = directories,
  moi = "high",
  grna_target_data_frame = grna_target_data_frame_highmoi,
)

# 2. create an ondisc-backed sceptre_object from Cell Ranger output
sceptre_object <- import_data_from_cellranger(
  directories = directories,
  moi = "high",
  grna_target_data_frame = grna_target_data_frame_highmoi,
  use_ondisc = TRUE,
  directory_to_write = tempdir()
)
