ADImpute: Adaptive Dropout Imputer
lock icon

BioTuring

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) protocols often face challenges in measuring the expression of all genes within a cell due to various factors, such as technical noise, the sensitivity of scRNA-seq techniques, or sample quality. This limitation gives rise to a need for the prediction of unmeasured gene expression values (also known as dropout imputation) from scRNA-seq data. ADImpute (Leote A, 2023) is an R package combining several dropout imputation methods, including two existing methods (DrImpute, SAVER), two novel implementations: Network, a gene regulatory network-based approach using gene-gene relationships learned from external data, and Baseline, a method corresponding to a sample-wide average.. This notebook is to illustrate an example workflow of ADImpute on sample datasets loaded from the package. The notebook content is inspired from ADImpute's vignette and modified to demonstrate how the tool works on BioTuring's platform.

SPARK-X: non-parametric modeling enables scalable and robust detection of spatial expression patterns for large spatial transcriptomic studies
lock icon

BioTuring

Spatial transcriptomic studies are becoming increasingly common and large, posing important statistical and computational challenges for many analytic tasks. Here, we present SPARK-X, a non-parametric method for rapid and effective detection of spatially expressed genes in large spatial transcriptomic studies. SPARK-X not only produces effective type I error control and high power but also brings orders of magnitude computational savings. We apply SPARK-X to analyze three large datasets, one of which is only analyzable by SPARK-X. In these data, SPARK-X identifies many spatially expressed genes including those that are spatially expressed within the same cell type, revealing new biological insights.

Cell2location: Comprehensive mapping of tissue cell architecture via integrated single cell and spatial transcriptomic
lock icon

BioTuring

Cell2location is a principled Bayesian model that can resolve fine-grained cell types in spatial transcriptomic data and create comprehensive cellular maps of diverse tissues. Cell2location accounts for technical sources of variation and borrows statistical strength across locations, thereby enabling the integration of single cell and spatial transcriptomics with higher sensitivity and resolution than existing tools. This is achieved by estimating which combination of cell types in which cell abundance could have given the mRNA counts in the spatial data, while modelling technical effects (platform/technology effect, contaminating RNA, unexplained variance). This tutorial shows how to use cell2location method for spatially resolving fine-grained cell types by integrating 10X Visium data with scRNA-seq reference of cell types. Cell2location is a principled Bayesian model that estimates which combination of cell types in which cell abundance could have given the mRNA counts in the spatial data, while modelling technical effects (platform/technology effect, contaminating RNA, unexplained variance).

Slingshot: cell lineage and pseudotime inference for single-cell transcriptomics
lock icon

BioTuring

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data have allowed us to investigate cellular heterogeneity and the kinetics of a biological process. Some studies need to understand how cells change state, and corresponding genes during the process, but it is challenging to track the cell development in scRNA-seq protocols. Therefore, a variety of statistical and computational methods have been proposed for lineage inference (or pseudotemporal ordering) to reconstruct the states of cells according to the developmental process from the measured snapshot data. Specifically, lineage refers to an ordered transition of cellular states, where individual cells represent points along. pseudotime is a one-dimensional variable representing each cell’s transcriptional progression toward the terminal state. Slingshot which is one of the methods suggested for lineage reconstruction and pseudotime inference from single-cell gene expression data. In this notebook, we will illustrate an example workflow for cell lineage and pseudotime inference using Slingshot. The notebook is inspired by Slingshot's vignette and modified to demonstrate how the tool works on BioTuring's platform.
