Knit directory: single-cell-topics/analysis/

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2). 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(1) 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 5fecfb1. 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:

These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/prepare_droplet.Rmd) and HTML (docs/prepare_droplet.html) files.

Rmd dec0e66 Peter Carbonetto 2020-07-28 Added R and R Markdown code for preparation of droplet data.

Here we prepare the “droplet” UMI count data from Montoro et al (2018)—these are gene expression profiles of trachea epithelial cells in C57BL/6 mice obtained using droplet-based 3’ single-cell RNA-seq—for topic modeling analysis.

Before running these steps on your computer, download file GSE103354_Trachea_droplet_UMIcounts.txt.gz from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) website, accession GSE103354, and save this file to the “data” folder. Edit the first line of this file so that the column names are “gene”, “M1_GCTTGAGAAGTCGT_Club”, “M1_GGAACACTTTCGTT_Club”, etc.

Load the readr package, and some functions written specifically for loading and preparing the data.

library(Matrix)
library(readr)
library(tools)
source("../code/droplet.R")

The UMI count data are imported as a matrix, with one row per tissue sample and one column per gene.

out <- read_droplet_data("../data/GSE103354_Trachea_droplet_UMIcounts.txt.gz")
samples <- out$samples
counts <- out$counts
rm(out)

Remove genes that are not expressed in any of the cells.

j      <- which(colSums(counts > 0) >= 1)
counts <- counts[,j]

This data set contains UMI count data for 7,193 samples and 17,133 genes. The count data are sparse; over 90% of the counts are zero.

cat(sprintf("Number of genes: %d\n",ncol(counts)))
cat(sprintf("Number of samples: %d\n",nrow(counts)))
cat(sprintf("Proportion of counts that are non-zero: %0.1f%%.\n",
            100*mean(counts > 0)))
# Number of genes: 18388
# Number of samples: 7193
# Proportion of counts that are non-zero: 9.3%.

Gene expression was profiled in cells from 6 different mice:

table(samples$mouse.id)
# 
#   M1   M2   M3   M4   M5   M6 
#  212 1679 2211 2222  327  542

In the Montoro et al analysis, the samples were subdivided into 7 cell types:

table(samples$tissue)
# 
#          Basal       Ciliated           Club         Goblet       Ionocyte 
#           3845            425           2578             65             26 
# Neuroendocrine           Tuft 
#             96            158

Convert the count data to a sparse matrix.

counts <- as(counts,"dgCMatrix")

Save the processed data.

save(list = c("samples","counts"),file = "droplet.RData")
resaveRdaFiles("droplet.RData")
