Differential expression analysis in single cell and spatial RNASeq without model assumptions

ABSTRACT: Gene up(down)regulation findings in single cell and spatial RNASeq can be inconsistent despite remarkable progress in technology. False findings in high-quality samples raise concerns about assumptions behind widely accepted data analysis approaches. We have developed a weighted averaging approach for data analysis without assuming anything besides randomness of technical noise. This approach is closely related to prior work on statistics of cluster-randomized experiments. We show that weighing transcript counts based on measured noise variances and utilizing weighted rather than standard unweighted tests reduces both false positive and false negative findings. Our approach eliminates the need for parametrizing data distributions and/or rescaling transcript counts, which may cause artifacts by distorting and biasing the data. The resulting analysis is less complex and produces more consistent differential gene expression. The present dataset is a Visium HD slide with 3 sections from the same E18 mouse tibia. Comparison of proliferating chondrocytes in the growth plates of these sections based on commonly used differential expression analysis methods produced numerous false positive findings, initiating our study. Our weighted averaging appproach eliminated these false positive findings. This dataset is used as an example in the paper for illustrating application of the weighted averaging approach to high-resolution spatial transcriptomics.

methylSig: a whole genome DNA methylation analysis pipeline

Project description:DNA methylation plays critical roles in gene regulation and cellular specification without altering DNA sequences. The wide application of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (bis-seq) opens the door to study DNA methylation at single CpG site resolution. One challenging question is how best to test for significant methylation differences between groups of biological samples in order to minimize false positive findings. Current methods to analyze genome-wide bisulfite sequencing data use a smoothing approach or a simple statistical test based on the binomial distribution.

Defining RNA Transcriptional Biosignatures to Distinguish Febrile Infants 60 Days of Age and Younger with Bacterial vs Non-Bacterial Infections

Project description:The use of microbiological cultures for diagnosing bacterial infections in young febrile infants have substantial limitations, including false positive and false negative cultures, and non-ideal turn-around times. Analysis of host genomic expression patterns (“RNA biosignatures”) in response to the presence of specific pathogens, however, may provide an alternate and potentially improved diagnostic approach. This study was designed to define bacterial and non-bacterial RNA biosignatures to distinguish these infections in young febrile infants.

Arabidopsis RNA-Seq Differential Gene Expression profiling

Project description:RNA-Seq data from 17 wild-type biological replicates of Arabidopsis thaliana used to explore read count measurements across replicates along with the False Discovery Rate of Differential Gene Expression tools. Although A. thaliana has a relatively small genome, its transcriptome is similar in scale and complexity to that of model mammal species and its genome is extensively annotated and the conclusions presented here provide useful guidance for work in other complex eukaryotes. The findings show that the negative binomial and log-normal distributions are both good choices as models for the cross-replicate variability of RNA-seq read counts. 6 of 9 DGE tools controlled their identification of false positives well even with only 3 replicates. Our results reinforce the conclusions reached by Schurch et. al. (2015 RNA) in yeast.

Building Prognostic Models for Breast Cancer Patients Using Clinical Variables and Gene Expression Signatures

Project description:Our findings indicate that the integration of expression signatures and clinicopathological factors can better determine the individual risk of recurrence for newly diagnosed patients with lymph-node negative ER-positive breast cancer. Models incorporating other variables yet to be discovered will be needed to obtain robust prognostic models for ER-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer patients. A large data set was created by combining five different publicly available microarray datasets of node-negative breast cancer patients treated with local therapy only. The microarray gene expression data was combined using the batch effect adjustment by the Distance Weighted Discrimination method.

The effect of background noise and its removal on the analysis of single-cell expression data

Project description:BACKGROUND: In droplet-based single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq experiments, not all reads associated with one cell barcode originate from the encapsulated cell. Such background noise is attributed to spillage from cell-free ambient RNA or barcode swappingevents. Here, we characterize this background noise exemplified by three single-cell RNA-seq(scRNA-seq) and two single-nucleus RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) replicates of mouse kidney cells. For each experiment, kidney cells from two mouse subspecies were pooled, allowing to identify cross-genotype contaminating molecules and estimate the levels of background noise. RESULTS: We find that background noise is highly variable across replicates and individual cells, making up on average 3-35% of the total counts (UMIs) per cell and show that this has a considerable impact on the specificity and detectability of marker genes. In search of the source of the background noise, we find that expression profiles of cell-free droplets are very similar to expression profiles of cross-genotype contamination profiles and hence that the majority of background molecules originates from ambient RNA. Finally, we use our genotype-based estimates to evaluate the performance of three methods (CellBender, DecontX, SoupX) that are designed to quantify and remove background noise. We find that CellBender provides the most precise estimates of background noise levels and also yields the highest improvement for marker gene detection. By contrast, clustering and classification of cells are fairly robust towards background noise and only small improvements can be achieved by background removal that may come at the cost of distortions in fine structure. CONCLUSION: Our findings help to better understand the extent, sources and impact of background noise in single-cell experiments and provide guidance on how to deal with it.

Comparison of linear and exponential amplification techniques for expression profiling at the single-cell level

Project description:We tested the performance of three methods for amplifying single-cell amounts of RNA under ideal conditions: T7-based in vitro transcription; switching mechanism at 5' end of RNA template (SMART) PCR amplification; and global PCR amplification. All methods introduced amplification-dependent noise when mRNA was amplified 108-fold, compared with data from unamplified cDNA. PCR-amplified cDNA demonstrated the smallest number of differences between two parallel replicate samples and the best correlation between independent amplifications from the same cell type, with SMART outperforming global PCR amplification. SMART had the highest true-positive rate and the lowest false-positive rate when comparing expression between two different cell types, but had the lowest absolute discovery rate of all three methods. Direct comparison of the performance of SMART and global PCR amplification on single-cell amounts of total RNA and on single neural stem cells confirmed these findings. Under the conditions tested, PCR amplification was more reliable than linear amplification for detecting true expression differences between samples. SMART amplification had a higher true-positive rate than global amplification, but at the expense of a considerably lower absolute discovery rate and a systematic compression of observed expression ratios. Keywords: Oliginucleotide expression microarrays, T7-based linear amplification; SMART PCR-based amplification; global PCR amplification

Proteomic profile of Cephalosporin-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae Isolates by low pH nano-HPLC-MS/MS

Project description:The experiment was performed using three N. gonorrhoeae clinical isolates and N. gonorrhoeae strain ATCC 49226 was used as a reference strain. Tandem mass spectra were processed by PEAKS Studio version 8.5 (Bioinformatics Solutions Inc., Waterloo, Canada). PEAKS DB was set up to search the database assuming trypsin as the digestion enzyme and searched with a fragment ion mass tolerance of 0.05 Da and a parent ion tolerance of 7 ppm. Carbamidomethylation (C) and iTRAQ 4plex (K, N-term) were specified as the fixed modification. Oxidation (M), Deamidation (NQ), and Acetylation (Protein N-term) were specified as the variable modifications. Peptides were filtered with a 1% false discovery rate (FDR) and were required to be a unique peptide. PEAKSQ was used for peptide and protein abundance calculation. Normalization was performed by averaging the abundance of all peptides, and medians were used for averaging.

Multi-level Support Vector Regression analysis to identify condition-specific regulatory networks

Project description:The identification of gene regulatory modules is an important yet challenging problem in computational biology. While many computational methods have been proposed to identify regulatory modules, their initial success is largely compromised by a high rate of false positives, especially when applied to human cancer studies. New strategies are needed for reliable regulatory module identification. We present a new approach, namely multi-level support vector regression (ml-SVR), to systematically identify conditionspecific regulatory modules. The approach is built upon a multi-level analysis strategy designed for suppressing false positive predictions. With this strategy, a regulatory module becomes ever more significant as more relevant gene sets are formed at finer levels. At each level, a two-stage support vector regression (SVR) method is utilized to help reduce false positive predictions by integrating binding motif information and gene expression data; a significant analysis procedure is followed to assess the significance of each regulatory module. We applied our method to breast cancer cell line data to identify condition-specific regulatory modules associated with estrogen treatment. Experimental results show that our method can identify biologically meaningful regulatory modules related to estrogen signaling and action in breast cancer.
