bioconductor-screclassify

A post hoc cell type classification tool to fine-tune cell type annotations generated by any cell type classification procedure with semi-supervised learning algorithm AdaSampling technique. The current version of scReClassify supports Support Vector Machine and Random Forest as a base classifier.

Workflows

Standard Workflow

Correct and fine-tune noisy or mislabeled cell type annotations in single-cell RNA-seq data using semi-supervised learning.

library(scReClassify)
library(SingleCellExperiment)

# Load pre-processed SingleCellExperiment data
data("gse87795_subset_sce")
dat <- gse87795_subset_sce

# Perform dimension reduction using matPCs to retain PCs explaining >= 70% variance
reducedDim(dat, "matPCs") <- matPCs(dat, assay = "logNorm", 0.7)

Input: A SingleCellExperiment object containing log-normalized expression data. Output: A SingleCellExperiment object with a dimension-reduced matrix stored in reducedDim(dat, "matPCs").

When to Use

  • To perform dimension reduction on single-cell RNA-seq data using matPCs to select principal components explaining at least 70% of the variance.
  • To correct and fine-tune noisy or mislabeled cell type annotations in a SingleCellExperiment object.

When NOT to Use

  • For initial unsupervised clustering of completely unlabeled single-cell data, use scran or Seurat because scReClassify is a post hoc semi-supervised tool that requires initial cell type annotations.
  • For datasets where no initial cell type labels are available, use unsupervised clustering methods because scReClassify relies on the adaSampling algorithm which requires a set of initial (potentially noisy) labels.

Data Requirements

  • Input format: SingleCellExperiment object or a matrix.
  • Structure: Must contain cell type annotations in the colData (e.g., cellTypes).
  • Normalization state: Log-normalized expression data (e.g., logNorm assay) is required for dimension reduction.

Key Parameters

  • assay ("logNorm"): The assay name in the SingleCellExperiment object to perform dimension reduction on.

Best Practices

  • Perform quality control and preprocessing of the single-cell dataset before running matPCs.
  • Use matPCs to automatically select the number of principal components that explain at least 70% of the variance.

Common Pitfalls

  • Running matPCs on a SingleCellExperiment without specifying the correct assay name, which will result in an error if the default assay is missing. Fix by explicitly setting the assay parameter (e.g., assay = "logNorm").

Alternatives

  • Seurat for general single-cell classification and clustering.
  • scater for standard PCA and dimension reduction.
  • scran for unsupervised cell clustering.

ASURAT is a software for single-cell data analysis. Using ASURAT, one can simultaneously perform unsupervised clustering and biological interpretation in terms of cell type, disease, biological process, and signaling pathway activity. Inputting a single-cell RNA-seq data and knowledge-based databases, such as Cell Ontology, Gene Ontology, KEGG, etc., ASURAT transforms gene expression tables into original multivariate tables, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs).
