Standard Workflow

The cellxgene data portal (https://cellxgene.cziscience.com/) provides a graphical user interface to collections of single-cell sequence data processed in standard ways to 'count matrix' summaries. The cellxgenedp package provides an alternative, R-based inteface, allowind data discovery, viewing, and downloading.

library(cellxgenedp)
library(dplyr)

# 1. Initialize database
cellxgene_db <- db()

# 2. Discover collections, datasets, and authors
cols <- collections(cellxgene_db)
dsets <- datasets(cellxgene_db)
auths <- authors()

# 3. Query datasets by specific author
author_datasets <- left_join(
  authors(),
  datasets(),
  by = "collection_id",
  relationship = "many-to-many"
)

# 4. Filter by disease using facets
covid_datasets <- author_datasets |>
  filter(facets_filter(disease, "label", "COVID-19"))

Inputs/Outputs: Takes online metadata from the CELLxGENE data portal retrieved via db(), and outputs filtered tibbles of collections, datasets, and authors matching specific search criteria.

When to Use

  • To programmatically discover, filter, and retrieve single-cell RNA-seq datasets from the CELLxGENE data portal.
  • To query datasets by specific authors or consortia using authors() and datasets().
  • To identify datasets matching specific ontological terms (e.g., disease, cell type, tissue) using facets() and facets_filter().
  • To launch an interactive Shiny interface for data discovery and download using cxg().

When NOT to Use

  • For downstream single-cell analysis like clustering, dimensionality reduction, or differential expression (use scran, scater, or Seurat instead).
  • For analyzing private, non-public single-cell datasets not hosted on the CELLxGENE portal.

Data Requirements

  • No local input files are required to start; the package retrieves metadata dynamically from the CELLxGENE portal via db().
  • Downloaded datasets are typically in H5AD format, which can be loaded into R using zellkonverter.

Key Parameters

  • relationship ("many-to-many"): Parameter used in left_join when merging authors and datasets.
  • facet ("disease"): Column name passed to facets() to retrieve ontology terms and counts.
  • label ("COVID-19"): Target ontology term label used in facets_filter().

Best Practices

  • Use db() to fetch the latest database state from the CELLxGENE portal at the start of your session.
  • Use distinct(authors()) to deduplicate author records before performing downstream joins, as some collections contain duplicate author entries.
  • Use facets(db(), "disease") or other facet fields to inspect available ontology terms and their exact labels before filtering.

Common Pitfalls

  • Joining authors and datasets directly without handling many-to-many relationships, leading to warnings. Fix: Specify relationship = "many-to-many" in left_join().
  • Assuming a single disease per dataset. Fix: Remember that the disease column is a list-of-lists because a dataset can contain multiple diseases; use facets_filter() or tidyr::unnest_longer() to handle it.

Alternatives

  • scRNAseq for accessing curated public single-cell datasets from Bioconductor.
  • HCAData for accessing Human Cell Atlas data.

概要と使いどころ

The package contains functions for exploratory oligonucleotide array analysis. The dependence on tkWidgets only concerns few convenience functions. 'affy' is fully functional without it.

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).
