This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.2.0). The Report 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(20181103) 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! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.

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:

droplet <- readRDS("./data/droplet.rds")
source("./code/utils.R")

The droplet-based 3’ scRNA-seq dataset analyzed in Montoro et al. (2018) can be obtained here. It includes counts for 18,388 genes and 7,193 cells. Only 9.3% of all counts are nonzero. The data takes up 143 MB when loaded into memory as a sparse Matrix object.

The original analysis assigns each cell to one of seven cell types. The cells are also labelled according to the mice they come from.

cell.type <- as.factor(sapply(strsplit(colnames(droplet), "_"), `[`, 3))
plot.category(cell.type, title = "Number of Cells per Cell Type")

mouse <- as.factor(sapply(strsplit(colnames(droplet), "_"), `[`, 1))
plot.category(mouse, title = "Number of Cells per Mouse")

Library size is distributed as follows.

plot.libsize(droplet)

Note the presence of extreme outliers. There are two of them, and both turn out to be goblet cells. I think that they should be removed from the dataset before analysis.

table(cell.type[which(colSums(droplet) > 30000)])
#> 
#>          Basal       Ciliated           Club         Goblet       Ionocyte 
#>              0              0              0              2              0 
#> Neuroendocrine           Tuft 
#>              0              0

Mean expression is distributed as follows.

plot.meanexp(droplet)

There are two genes that are on average much more highly expressed than any other gene: Bpifa1 and Scgb1a1. Both have bimodal distributions.

high.exp <- names(which(rowMeans(droplet) > 200))
for (gene in high.exp) {
  plot(plot.gene(droplet, gene))
}
