There are three parts: Seurat, Signac and then visualization. We use an example PBMCs scRNA-seq data set from 10X Genomics. First, we set up a folder for holding the Signac reference data: ## Seurat Start with the standard pre-processing steps for a Seurat object. ```{r setupSeurat, message = F, eval = F} library(Seurat) ``` Download data from 10X Genomics. ```{r setup, message = F, eval = F} dir.create("fls") download.file("https://cf.10xgenomics.com/samples/cell-exp/3.0.0/pbmc_1k_v3/pbmc_1k_v3_filtered_feature_bc_matrix.h5", destfile = "fls/pbmc_1k_v3_filtered_feature_bc_matrix.h5") ``` Create a Seurat object, and then perform SCTransform normalization. Note: * You can use the legacy functions here (i.e., NormalizeData, ScaleData, etc.), use SCTransform or any other normalization method (including no normalization). We did not notice a significant difference in cell type annotations with different normalization methods. * We think that it is best practice to use SCTransform, but it is not a necessary step. Signac will work fine without it. ```{r Seurat, message = T, eval = F} # load data E = Read10X_h5(filename = "fls/pbmc_1k_v3_filtered_feature_bc_matrix.h5") pbmc <- CreateSeuratObject(counts = E, project = "pbmc") # run sctransform pbmc <- SCTransform(pbmc, verbose = FALSE) ``` Perform dimensionality reduction by PCA and UMAP embedding. Note: * Signac actually needs these functions since it uses the nearest neighbor graph generated by Seurat. ```{r Seurat 2, message = T, eval = F} # These are now standard steps in the Seurat workflow for visualization and clustering pbmc <- RunPCA(pbmc, verbose = FALSE) pbmc <- RunUMAP(pbmc, dims = 1:30, verbose = FALSE) pbmc <- FindNeighbors(pbmc, dims = 1:30, verbose = FALSE) ``` ## SignacX First, make sure you have the Signac package installed. ```{r setup2, message = F, eval = F} install.packages("SignacX") ``` Load the library ```{r Signac setup folder, message = T, eval = F} # load library library(SignacX) ``` Generate SignacX labels for the Seurat object. Note: * Optionally, you can do parallel computing by setting num.cores > 1 in the Signac function. * Run time is ~10 minutes for ~10,000 cells. ```{r Signac, message = T, eval = F} # Run Signac labels <- Signac(pbmc, num.cores = 4) celltypes = GenerateLabels(labels, E = pbmc) ``` Sometimes, training the neural networks takes a lot of time. To make Signac faster, we implemented SignacFast which uses an ensemble of pre-trained neural network models. Note: * SignacFast uses an ensemble of 1,800 pre-calculated neural networks rather than performing bespoke model training. ```{r SignacFast, message = T, eval = F} # Run Signac labels_fast <- SignacFast(pbmc) celltypes_fast = GenerateLabels(labels_fast, E = pbmc) ``` SignacFast took only ~30 seconds. Relative to Signac, the main difference is that SignacFast tends to leave a few more cells "Unclassified."
**How does SignacFast compare to Signac?** ```{r, echo=FALSE, eval = T} knitr::kable(table(Signac = celltypes$CellTypes, SignacFast = celltypes_fast$CellTypes), format = "html") ```
## Visualizations Now we can visualize the cell type classifications at many different levels: Immune and nonimmune ```{r Seurat Visualization 0, message = F, eval = F} pbmc <- AddMetaData(pbmc, metadata=celltypes$Immune, col.name = "immmune") pbmc <- SetIdent(pbmc, value='immmune') png(filename="fls/plot1.png") DimPlot(pbmc) dev.off() ``` ![Immune, Nonimmune (if any) and unclassified cells](./fls/plot1.png) ```{r Seurat Visualization 1, message = F, eval = F} pbmc <- AddMetaData(pbmc, metadata=celltypes$L2, col.name = "L2") pbmc <- SetIdent(pbmc, value='L2') png(filename="fls/plot2.png") DimPlot(pbmc) dev.off() ``` ![Myeloid and lymphocytes](./fls/plot2.png) ```{r Seurat Visualization 2, message = F, eval = F} lbls = factor(celltypes$CellTypes) levels(lbls) <- sort(unique(lbls)) pbmc <- AddMetaData(pbmc, metadata=lbls, col.name = "celltypes") pbmc <- SetIdent(pbmc, value='celltypes') png(filename="./fls/plot3.png") DimPlot(pbmc) dev.off() ``` ![Cell types](./fls/plot3.png) ```{r Seurat Visualization 3, message = F, eval = F} pbmc <- AddMetaData(pbmc, metadata=celltypes$CellTypes_novel, col.name = "celltypes_novel") pbmc <- SetIdent(pbmc, value='celltypes_novel') png(filename="./fls/plot4.png") DimPlot(pbmc) dev.off() ``` ![Cell types with novel populations](./fls/plot4.png) ```{r Seurat Visualization 4, message = F, eval = F} pbmc <- AddMetaData(pbmc, metadata=celltypes$CellStates, col.name = "cellstates") pbmc <- SetIdent(pbmc, value='cellstates') png(filename="./fls/plot5.png") DimPlot(pbmc) dev.off() ``` ![Cell states](./fls/plot5.png) Identify differentially expressed genes between cell types. Here, we see that Signac identified two novel cell populations that are positive for platelet and plasma cell markers, respectively. ```{r Seurat visualize protein 3, message = F, eval = F} pbmc <- SetIdent(pbmc, value='celltypes_novel') # Find protein markers for all clusters, and draw a heatmap markers <- FindAllMarkers(pbmc, only.pos = TRUE, verbose = F, logfc.threshold = 1) library(dplyr) top5 <- markers %>% group_by(cluster) %>% top_n(n = 5, wt = avg_logFC) png(filename="./fls/plot6.png") DoHeatmap(pbmc, features = unique(top5$gene), angle = 90) dev.off() ``` ![Immune marker genes](./fls/plot6.png) Save results ```{r save results, message = F, eval = F} saveRDS(pbmc, file = "fls/pbmcs_signac.rds") saveRDS(celltypes, file = "fls/celltypes.rds") saveRDS(celltypes_fast, file = "fls/celltypes_fast.rds") ``` ```{r save.times, include = FALSE, eval = F} write.csv(x = t(as.data.frame(all_times)), file = "fls/tutorial_times_signac-Seurat_pbmcs.csv") ```
