It is available [from the 10x Genomics website](https://support.10xgenomics.com/single-cell-multiome-atac-gex/datasets). Provided are the RNA expression counts quantified at the gene level and the chromatin accessibility levels quantified at the peak level. Here we provide the default peaks called by the CellRanger software. If you want to explore other peak definitions or chromatin accessibility quantifications (at the promoter level, etc.), you have download the `fragments.tsv.gz` file from the 10x Genomics website. # Downloading datasets The user can see the available dataset by using the default options ```{r} mae <- scMultiome("pbmc_10x", modes = "*", dry.run = FALSE, format = "MTX") ``` ```{r, echo=FALSE} gg_color_hue <- function(n) { hues = seq(15, 375, length = n + 1) hcl(h = hues, l = 65, c = 100)[1:n] } colors <- gg_color_hue(length(unique(mae$celltype))) names(colors) <- unique(mae$celltype) ``` # Exploring the data structure There are two assays: `rna` and `atac`, stored as [SingleCellExperiment](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SingleCellExperiment.html) objects ```{r} mae ``` where the cells are the same in both assays: ```{r} upsetSamples(mae) ``` ## Cell metadata Columns: - **nCount_RNA**: number of read counts - **nFeature_RNA**: number of genes with at least one read count - **nCount_ATAC**: number of ATAC read counts - **nFeature_ATAC**: number of ATAC peaks with at least one read count - **celltype**: The cell types have been annotated by the 10x Genomics R&D team using gene markers. They provide a rough characterisation of the cell type diversity, but keep in mind that they are not ground truth labels. - **broad_celltype**: `Lymphoid` or `Myeloid` origin The cells have not been QC-ed, choosing a minimum number of genes/peaks per cell depends is left to you! In addition, there are further quality control criteria that you may want to apply, including mitochondrial coverage, fraction of reads overlapping ENCODE Blacklisted regions, Transcription start site enrichment, etc. See suggestions below for software that can perform a semi-automated quality control pipeline ```{r} head(colData(mae)) ``` ## RNA expression The RNA expression consists of 36,549 genes and 10,032 cells, stored using the `dgCMatrix` sparse matrix format ```{r} dim(experiments(mae)[["rna"]]) ``` ```{r} names(experiments(mae)) ``` Let's do some standard dimensionality reduction plot: ```{r} sce.rna <- experiments(mae)[["rna"]] # Normalisation sce.rna <- logNormCounts(sce.rna) # Feature selection decomp <- modelGeneVar(sce.rna) hvgs <- rownames(decomp)[decomp$mean>0.01 & decomp$p.value <= 0.05] sce.rna <- sce.rna[hvgs,] # PCA sce.rna <- runPCA(sce.rna, ncomponents = 25) # UMAP set.seed(42) sce.rna <- runUMAP(sce.rna, dimred="PCA", n_neighbors = 25, min_dist = 0.3) plotUMAP(sce.rna, colour_by="celltype", point_size=0.5, point_alpha=1) ``` ## Chromatin Accessibility The ATAC expression consists of 108,344 peaks and 10,032 cells: ```{r} dim(experiments(mae)[["atac"]]) ``` Let's do some standard dimensionality reduction plot. Note that scATAC-seq data is sparser than scRNA-seq, almost binary. The log normalisation + PCA approach that `scater` implements for scRNA-seq is not a good strategy for scATAC-seq data. Topic modelling or TFIDF+SVD are a better strategy. Please see the package recommendations below. ```{r} sce.atac <- experiments(mae)[["atac"]] # Normalisation sce.atac <- logNormCounts(sce.atac) # Feature selection decomp <- modelGeneVar(sce.atac) hvgs <- rownames(decomp)[decomp$mean>0.25] sce.atac <- sce.atac[hvgs,] # PCA sce.atac <- runPCA(sce.atac, ncomponents = 25) # UMAP set.seed(42) sce.atac <- runUMAP(sce.atac, dimred="PCA", n_neighbors = 25, min_dist = 0.3) plotUMAP(sce.atac, colour_by="celltype", point_size=0.5, point_alpha=1) ``` # Suggested software for the downstream analysis These are my personal recommendations of R-based analysis software: - **RNA expression**: [scater](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/scater.html), [scran](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/scran.html) - **ATAC accessibility**: [archR](https://www.archrproject.com/), [snapATAC](https://github.com/r3fang/SnapATAC), [cisTopic](https://github.com/aertslab/cisTopic), [Signac](https://satijalab.org/signac), [chromVar](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/chromVAR.html), [Cicero](https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/cicero.html) - **Integrative analysis**: [MOFA+](https://biofam.github.io/MOFA2), [Seurat](https://satijalab.org/seurat). Note that both methods have released vignettes in their website where they analysed this same data set. # sessionInfo ```{r} sessionInfo() ```
