AbstractSummaryThe excessive amount of zeros in single-cell RNA-seq data include “real” zeros due to the on-off nature of gene transcription in single cells and “dropout” zeros due to technical reasons. Existing differential expression (DE) analysis methods cannot distinguish these two types of zeros. We developed an R package DEsingle which employed Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial model to estimate the proportion of real and dropout zeros and to define and detect 3 types of DE genes in single-cell RNA-seq data with higher accuracy.Availability and ImplementationThe R package DEsingle is freely available at https://github.com/miaozhun/DEsingle and is under Bioconductor’s consideration [email protected] informationSupplementary data are available at bioRxiv online.

Abstract In the last decade, single cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) datasets have grown in size from a single cell to millions of cells. Due to its high dimensionality, it is not always feasible to visualize scRNAseq data and share it in a scientific report or an article publication format. Recently, many interactive analysis and visualization tools have been developed to address this issue and facilitate knowledge transfer in the scientific community. In this study, we review several of the currently available scRNAseq visualization tools and benchmark the subset that allows to visualize the data on the web and share it with others. We consider the memory and time required to prepare datasets for sharing as the number of cells increases, and additionally review the user experience and features available in the web interface. To address the problem of format compatibility we have also developed a user-friendly R package, sceasy, which allows users to convert their own scRNAseq datasets into a specific data format for visualization.

Abstract Motivation Most genomes contain thousands of genes, but for most functional responses, only a subset of those genes are relevant. To facilitate many single-cell RNASeq (scRNASeq) analyses the set of genes is often reduced through feature selection, i.e. by removing genes only subject to technical noise. Results We present M3Drop, an R package that implements popular existing feature selection methods and two novel methods which take advantage of the prevalence of zeros (dropouts) in scRNASeq data to identify features. We show these new methods outperform existing methods on simulated and real datasets. Availability and implementation M3Drop is freely available on github as an R package and is compatible with other popular scRNASeq tools: https://github.com/tallulandrews/M3Drop.

AbstractSummaryRecurrence and clustering of somatic mutations (hotspots) in cancer genomes may indicate positive selection and involvement in tumorigenesis. MutSpot performs genome-wide inference of mutation hotspots in non-coding and regulatory DNA of cancer genomes. MutSpot performs feature selection across hundreds of epigenetic and sequence features followed by estimation of position and patient-specific background somatic mutation probabilities. MutSpot is user-friendly, works on a standard workstation, and scales to thousands of cancer genomes.Availability and implementationMutSpot is implemented as an R package and is available at https://github.com/skandlab/MutSpot/Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at https://github.com/skandlab/MutSpot/

AbstractSummarySingle-cell RNA sequencing has emerged as an essential tool to investigate cellular heterogeneity, and highlighting cell sub-population specific signatures. Nowadays, dedicated and user-friendly bioinformatics workflows are required to exploit the deconvolution of single-cells transcriptome. Furthermore, there is a growing need of bioinformatics workflows granting both functional, i.e. saving information about data and analysis parameters, and computation reproducibility, i.e. storing the real image of the computation environment. Here, we present rCASC a modular RNAseq analysis workflow allowing data analysis from counts generation to cell sub-population signatures identification, granting both functional and computation reproducibility.Availability and ImplementationrCASC is part of the reproducible bioinfomatics project. rCASC is a docker based application controlled by a R package available at https://github.com/kendomaniac/rCASC.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at rCASC github

Abstract Summary Unbiased detection of protein–protein and protein–RNA interactions within ribonucleoprotein complexes are enabled through crosslinking followed by mass spectrometry. Yet, different methods detect different types of molecular interactions and therefore require the usage of different software packages with limited compatibility. We present crisscrosslinkeR, an R package that maps both protein–protein and protein–RNA interactions detected by different types of approaches for crosslinking with mass spectrometry. crisscrosslinkeR produces output files that are compatible with visualization using popular software packages for the generation of publication-quality figures. Availability and implementation crisscrosslinkeR is a free and open-source package, available through GitHub: github.com/egmg726/crisscrosslinker.

Abstract Motivation Dimensionality reduction is a key step in the analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data. It produces a low-dimensional embedding for visualization and as a calculation base for downstream analysis. Nonlinear techniques are most suitable to handle the intrinsic complexity of large, heterogeneous single-cell data. However, with no linear relation between gene and embedding coordinate, there is no way to extract the identity of genes driving any cell’s position in the low-dimensional embedding, making it difficult to characterize the underlying biological processes. Results In this article, we introduce the concepts of local and global gene relevance to compute an equivalent of principal component analysis loadings for non-linear low-dimensional embeddings. Global gene relevance identifies drivers of the overall embedding, while local gene relevance identifies those of a defined sub-region. We apply our method to single-cell RNA-seq datasets from different experimental protocols and to different low-dimensional embedding techniques. This shows our method’s versatility to identify key genes for a variety of biological processes. Availability and implementation To ensure reproducibility and ease of use, our method is released as part of destiny 3.0, a popular R package for building diffusion maps from single-cell transcriptomic data. It is readily available through Bioconductor. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
