This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20221229) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version ede0340. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

  • characterize and compare our identified open chromatin peaks with Wang et al.
  • estimate heritability enrichment for annotations derived from our chromatin data across many traits
    • cell-type based annotations
    • topic-based annotations
  1. Identify relevant cell-types and tissues for Asthma
  • find peaks in our dataset that overlap with enhancers with high ePIPs based on GWAS and other single-cell ATAC-seq data and then get the corresponding cell-type and tissue information
  • compute ePIP using our own data set and then identify relevant cell-types or tissues
    • Compute ePIPs by summing up PIPs of causal variants that overlap with each enhancer

Evaluate the heritability contribution of our multi-omics dataset

Characterize and compare peaks from T cells between two dataset

A barplot of summarizing peak counts by types show Wang et al. identified more peaks in distal and exonic regions but fewer ones in promoters compared to our dataset. The color indicates whether each query peak in U19 overlaps with the one in Wang et al. We see more than 50% peaks in U19 overlapped with ones in Wang et al., while these overlapped peaks take up less than 50% of peaks in Wang et al.

Test enrichment for individual cell-type of each tissue

  • GWAS: a broad range of triats
  • Baseline annotation: 53 annotations from Finucane et al. 2015 Nat Genet (Baseline v1.2)

Overall, we observed immune cells in both tissues are significantly enriched for genetic risks of immune diseases but not those of other traits. T cells from both tissues show significant enrichment for risk variants of immune diseases, while only lung B cells show enrichment.

The high standard errors for enrichment estimates are probably due to low proportion of SNPs present in peaks called by each cluster. To make the point that lung tissue is more important than spleen to disease, we can temporarily ignore sub-types but use major immune cell types like T, B and NK cells to improve confidence interval.

Label: enrichment p-value.

Merging cell types to contain more risk variants does help lower the standard errors. For both tissues, T cells show the strongest enrichment and contain the highest proportion of risk variants. Across cell types, lung immune cells show more significant enrichment compare to spleen immune cells.

Tissue-specific analyses for each major cell type.

LDSC operates cell-type specific analyses by taking two sets of LD scores for each test. Here I input one set of LD scores derived from lung and the other set from spleen as control for each major cell type. The resulting p-value tests whether the coefficient is greater than zero, which implies if lung tissue is more significant. To compute tissue-specific effects, I can obtain peaks specific to lung tissue and then repeat this analysis.

Jointly test multiple annotations

A barplot for LDSC enrichment results

Baseline annotation: BaselineLD_v2.2 (97 annotations) recommended for estimating heritability. Y-axis: annotation(%GWAS SNPs within annotation). X-axis: enrichment fold.
Label: heritability

The chromatin accessible peaks from T cells, B cells, and NK cells were jointly tested for each tissue. The results show that lung immune cells explain more disease heritability than spleen immmune cells. Conditional on other lung immune cells, Treg OCRs have the most contribution in Allergy and AOA, followed by B cells and NK cells. For COA, the disease heritability was explained evenly by Treg, CD4+ T and naive B cells. The CD8+ T cells only contributes to COA heritability.

Identify relevant cell-types and tissues for Asthma

Based on the list of enhancers ranked by the causal signals from GWAS and other functional data, I looked for peaks in our dataset that overlapped with high-confident enhancers. For enhancers overlapped by multiple peaks, the peak scores were computed by the average of their significant scores from peak calling.

Heatmap for peak scores

  • X-axis denotes enhancer-gene pair, ranked by either AOA ePIP or COA ePIP.
  • Color of heatmap is the log2 value of mean significant scores for peaks that overlap with enhancer of high PIPs.
