Multimodal single-cell chromatin analysis with Signac
lock icon

BioTuring

The recent development of experimental methods for measuring chromatin state at single-cell resolution has created a need for computational tools capable of analyzing these datasets. Here we developed Signac, a framework for the analysis of single-cell chromatin data, as an extension of the Seurat R toolkit for single-cell multimodal analysis. **Signac** enables an end-to-end analysis of single-cell chromatin data, including peak calling, quantification, quality control, dimension reduction, clustering, integration with single-cell gene expression datasets, DNA motif analysis, and interactive visualization. Furthermore, Signac facilitates the analysis of multimodal single-cell chromatin data, including datasets that co-assay DNA accessibility with gene expression, protein abundance, and mitochondrial genotype. We demonstrate scaling of the Signac framework to datasets containing over 700,000 cells.

PAGA: partition-based graph abstraction for trajectory analysis
lock icon

BioTuring

Mapping out the coarse-grained connectivity structures of complex manifolds Biological systems often change over time, as old cells die and new cells are created through differentiation from progenitor cells. This means that at any given time, not all cells will be at the same stage of development. In this sense, a single-cell sample could contain cells at different stages of differentiation. By analyzing the data, we can identify which cells are at which stages and build a model for their biological transitions. By quantifying the connectivity of partitions (groups, clusters) of the single-cell graph, partition-based graph abstraction (PAGA) generates a much simpler abstracted graph (PAGA graph) of partitions, in which edge weights represent confidence in the presence of connections. In this notebook, we will introduce the concept of single-cell Trajectory Analysis using PAGA (Partition-based graph abstraction) in the context of hematopoietic differentiation.
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).

BioTuring

Geneformer is a foundation transformer model pretrained on a large-scale corpus of ~30 million single cell transcriptomes to enable context-aware predictions in settings with limited data in network biology. Here, we will demonstrate a basic workflow to work with ***Geneformer*** models. These notebooks include the instruction to: 1. Prepare input datasets 2. Finetune Geneformer model to perform specific task 3. Using finetuning models for cell classification and gene classification application

BPCells: Scaling Single Cell Analysis to Millions of Cells

BioTuring

BPCells is a package for high performance single cell analysis on RNA-seq and ATAC-seq datasets. It can analyze a 1.3M cell dataset with 2GB of RAM in under 10 minutes. This makes analysis of million-cell datasets practical on a laptop. BPCells provides: * Efficient storage of single cell datasets via bitpacking compression * Fast, disk-backed RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data processing powered by C++ * Downstream analysis such as marker genes, and clustering * Interoperability with AnnData, 10x datasets, R sparse matrices, and GRanges
