SCDC: Bulk Gene Expression Deconvolution by Multiple Single-Cell RNA Sequencing References

Travis build statusCRAN status

SCDC is a deconvolution method for bulk RNA-seq that leverages cell-type specific gene expressions from multiple scRNA-seq reference datasets. SCDC adopts an ENSEMBLE method to integrate deconvolution results from different scRNA-seq datasets that are produced in different laboratories and at different times, implicitly addressing the batch-effect confounding.

Installation

You can install the released version of SCDC from GitHub with:

if (!require("devtools")) {
install.packages("devtools")
}
devtools::install_github("meichendong/SCDC")

Dependency package problem regarding to 'xbioc' could be resolved by:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("renozao/xbioc")

Vignettes

Please see the vignettes page.

The SCDC paper is published at Briefings In Bioinformatics.

Questions regarding to the package can be emailed to: meichen@live.unc.edu

FAQs / Notes

  • When there is only 'one subject/individual' in the single cell dataset, please use SCDC_qc_ONE(), SCDC_prop_ONE() functions.

Aspects that could affect the deconvolution results:

  • data format: are bulk and single cell samples both raw counts / same format? We expect the data format to be consistent and comparable.
  • gene filtering: did you filter out lowly expressed genes / ribosomal genes / mitochondrial genes? These genes may affect the downstream analysis.
  • cell size and library size factors: for a single cell, do you think the sum of all gene counts (the library size) could reflect its real cell size? This is one of our assumptions: the ratio of library sizes between cell types can reflect the ratio of real cell sizes between cell types. If not, you can manually input the cell size factor when constructing the "basis matrix".
  • similar cell types: are there cell types that could potentially confound the analysis? For example, cell types that have very similar profiles /marker genes.
  • missing major cell types / technical issues: do you expect the sequencing procedure to make a big difference in bulk and sc even the technique is the same? Sometimes single cell reference data may lose information for some cell types. For example, there's fat cells in your bulk samples, but somehow you don't have it for single cell data.
  • deconvolution using a single reference dataset: did you try to use one reference dataset to test if the results make sense generally? I see you tried Bisque. Have you tried other methods like CIBERSORTx? If results from other "one-reference" deconvolution methods make more sense, then you can input these directly using our ENSEMBLE step.

SCDC: Bulk Gene Expression Deconvolution by Multiple Single-Cell RNA Sequencing References
Travis build statusCRAN status
SCDC is a deconvolution method for bulk RNA-seq that leverages cell-type specific gene expressions from multiple scRNA-seq reference datasets. SCDC adopts an ENSEMBLE method to integrate deconvolution results from different scRNA-seq datasets that are produced in different laboratories and at different times, implicitly addressing the batch-effect confounding.

FAQs / Notes
  • When there is only 'one subject/individual' in the single cell dataset, please use SCDC_qc_ONE(), SCDC_prop_ONE() functions.
Aspects that could affect the deconvolution results:
  • data format: are bulk and single cell samples both raw counts / same format? We expect the data format to be consistent and comparable.
  • gene filtering: did you filter out lowly expressed genes / ribosomal genes / mitochondrial genes? These genes may affect the downstream analysis.
  • cell size and library size factors: for a single cell, do you think the sum of all gene counts (the library size) could reflect its real cell size? This is one of our assumptions: the ratio of library sizes between cell types can reflect the ratio of real cell sizes between cell types. If not, you can manually input the cell size factor when constructing the "basis matrix".
  • similar cell types: are there cell types that could potentially confound the analysis? For example, cell types that have very similar profiles /marker genes.
  • missing major cell types / technical issues: do you expect the sequencing procedure to make a big difference in bulk and sc even the technique is the same? Sometimes single cell reference data may lose information for some cell types. For example, there's fat cells in your bulk samples, but somehow you don't have it for single cell data.
  • deconvolution using a single reference dataset: did you try to use one reference dataset to test if the results make sense generally? I see you tried Bisque. Have you tried other methods like CIBERSORTx? If results from other "one-reference" deconvolution methods make more sense, then you can input these directly using our ENSEMBLE step.
