Initialize the COTAN object with the row count table and
the metadata for the experiment.

#> Condition mouse_cortex_E17.5Before we proceed to the analysis, we need to clean the data. The analysis will use a matrix of raw UMI counts as the input. To obtain this matrix, we have to remove any potential cell doublets or multiplets, as well as any low quality or dying cells.
1.1 Data cleaning
We can check the library size (UMI number) with an empirical cumulative distribution function
plot(ECDPlot(obj))
plot(cellSizePlot(obj))
plot(genesSizePlot(obj))
plot(scatterPlot(obj))
During the cleaning, every time we want to remove cells or genes
we can use the dropGenesCells()function.
Drop cells with too many reads as they are probably doublets or multiplets
cellsSizeThr <- 6000L
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Cells size threshold", cellsSizeThr)
cells_to_rem <- getCells(obj)[getCellsSize(obj) > cellsSizeThr]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, cells = cells_to_rem)
plot(cellSizePlot(obj))
#> Warning: Removed 1 row containing missing values or values outside the scale range
#> (`geom_point()`).
To drop cells by gene number: high genes count might also indicate doublets…
genesSizeHighThr <- 3000L
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Num genes high threshold", genesSizeHighThr)
cells_to_rem <- getCells(obj)[getNumExpressedGenes(obj) > genesSizeHighThr]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, cells = cells_to_rem)
plot(genesSizePlot(obj))
#> Warning: Removed 1 row containing missing values or values outside the scale range
#> (`geom_point()`).
Drop cells with too low genes expression as they are probably dead
genesSizeLowThr <- 500L
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Num genes low threshold", genesSizeLowThr)
cells_to_rem <- getCells(obj)[getNumExpressedGenes(obj) < genesSizeLowThr]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, cells = cells_to_rem)
plot(genesSizePlot(obj))
Cells with a too high percentage of mitochondrial genes are likely dead (or at the last problematic) cells. So we drop them!
c(mitPlot, mitSizes) %<-% mitochondrialPercentagePlot(obj, genePrefix = "^Mt")
plot(mitPlot)
mitPercThr <- 1.0
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Mitoc. perc. threshold", mitPercThr)
cells_to_rem <- rownames(mitSizes)[mitSizes[["mit.percentage"]] > mitPercThr]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, cells = cells_to_rem)
c(mitPlot, mitSizes) %<-% mitochondrialPercentagePlot(obj, genePrefix = "^Mt")
plot(mitPlot)
If we do not want to consider the mitochondrial genes we can remove them before starting the analysis.
genes_to_rem <- getGenes(obj)[grep("^Mt", getGenes(obj))]
cells_to_rem <- getCells(obj)[which(getCellsSize(obj) == 0L)]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, genes_to_rem, cells_to_rem)We want also to log the current status.
logThis(paste("n cells", getNumCells(obj)), logLevel = 1L)
#> n cells 859The clean() function estimates all the parameters for the data. Therefore, we have to run it again every time we remove any genes or cells from the data.
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Num drop B group", 0)
obj <- clean(obj)

plot(pcaCellsPlot)
plot(genesPlot)
We can observe here that the red cells are really enriched in hemoglobin genes so we prefer to remove them. They can be extracted from the pcaCellsData object and removed.
cells_to_rem <- rownames(pcaCellsData)[pcaCellsData[["groups"]] == "B"]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, cells = cells_to_rem)
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Num drop B group", 1)
obj <- clean(obj)
#> Genes/cells selection done: dropped [5] genes and [0] cells

plot(pcaCellsPlot)
To color the PCA based on nu (so the cells’ efficiency)
plot(UDEPlot)
UDE (color) should not correlate with principal components! This is very important.
The next part is used to remove the cells with efficiency too low.
plot(nuPlot)
We can zoom on the smallest values and, if COTAN detects a clear elbow, we can decide to remove the cells.
plot(zoomedNuPlot)
We also save the defined threshold in the metadata and re-run the estimation
UDELowThr <- 0.30
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Low UDE cells' threshold", UDELowThr)
obj <- addElementToMetaDataset(obj, "Num drop B group", 2)
cells_to_rem <- getCells(obj)[getNu(obj) < UDELowThr]
obj <- dropGenesCells(obj, cells = cells_to_rem)Repeat the estimation after the cells are removed
obj <- clean(obj)
#> Genes/cells selection done: dropped [3] genes and [0] cells

In this part, all the contingency tables are computed
and used to get the statistics necessary to COEX evaluation and storing

saveRDS(obj, file = file.path(outDir, paste0(cond, ".cotan.RDS")))1.3 Automatic run
It is also possible to run directly a single function if we don’t want to clean anything.
obj2 <- automaticCOTANObjectCreation(
raw = sample.dataset,
GEO = GEO,
sequencingMethod = "Drop_seq",
sampleCondition = cond,
calcCoex = TRUE, cores = 6L, optimizeForSpeed = TRUE,
saveObj = TRUE, outDir = outDir)2 Analysis of the elaborated data
2.1 GDI
To calculate and store the Global Differentiation Index (GDI) we can run:
gdiDF <- calculateGDI(obj)
#> Calculate GDI dataframe: START
#> Calculate GDI dataframe: DONE
head(gdiDF)
#> sum.raw.norm GDI exp.cells
#> 0610007N19Rik 3.332671 1.626640 2.230047
#> 0610007P14Rik 5.279001 1.349530 18.779343

#> 0610009L18Rik 3.509489 1.256757 3.051643
# This will store only the $GDI column
obj <- storeGDI(obj, genesGDI = gdiDF)The next function can either plot the GDI for the dataset directly or
use the pre-computed dataframe.
It marks the given threshold 1.43 (in red) and
the 50% and 75% quantiles (in blue).
We can also specify some gene sets (three in this case) that
we want to label explicitly in the GDI plot.
genesList <- list(
"NPGs" = c("Nes", "Vim", "Sox2", "Sox1", "Notch1", "Hes1", "Hes5", "Pax6"),
"PNGs" = c("Map2", "Tubb3", "Neurod1", "Nefm", "Nefl", "Dcx", "Tbr1"),
"hk" = c("Calm1", "Cox6b1", "Ppia", "Rpl18", "Cox7c", "Erh", "H3f3a",
"Taf1", "Taf2", "Gapdh", "Actb", "Golph3", "Zfr", "Sub1",
"Tars", "Amacr")
)
GDIPlot(obj, cond = cond, genes = genesList, GDIThreshold = 1.40)
#> GDI plot
#> Removed 0 low GDI genes (such as the fully-expressed) in GDI plot
The percentage of cells expressing the gene in the third column of this data-frame is reported.
2.2 Heatmaps
To perform the Gene Pair Analysis, we can plot a heatmap of the COEX values
between two gene sets.
We have to define the different gene sets (list.genes) in a list.
Then we can choose which sets to use in the function parameter sets
(for example, from 1 to 3).
We also have to provide an array of the file name prefixes for each condition
(for example, “mouse_cortex_E17.5”).
In fact, this function can plot genes relationships across many different
conditions to get a complete overview.
plot(heatmapPlot(obj, genesLists = genesList))
#> heatmap plot: START
#> Hangling COTAN object with condition: mouse_cortex_E17.5
#> calculating PValues: START
#> Get p-values on a set of genes on columns and on a set of genes on rows
#> calculating PValues: DONE
#> min coex: -0.475089564305104 max coex: 0.456662313361164
We can also plot a general heatmap of COEX values based on some markers like
the following one.
plot(genesHeatmapPlot(obj, primaryMarkers = c("Satb2", "Bcl11b", "Vim", "Hes1"),
pValueThreshold = 0.001, symmetric = TRUE))
#> calculating PValues: START
#> Get p-values genome wide on columns and genome wide on rows
#> calculating PValues: DONE
plot(genesHeatmapPlot(obj, primaryMarkers = c("Satb2", "Bcl11b", "Fezf2"),
secondaryMarkers = c("Gabra3", "Meg3", "Cux1", "Neurod6"),
pValueThreshold = 0.001, symmetric = FALSE))2.3 Get data tables
Sometimes we can also be interested in the numbers present directly in the contingency tables for two specific genes. To get them we can use two functions:
contingencyTables() to produce the observed and expected data
print("Contingency Tables:")
#> [1] "Contingency Tables:"
contingencyTables(obj, g1 = "Satb2", g2 = "Bcl11b")
#> $observed
#> Satb2.yes Satb2.no
#> Bcl11b.yes 47 149
#> Bcl11b.no 287 369
#>
#> $expected
#> Satb2.yes Satb2.no
#> Bcl11b.yes 82.78537 113.2154
#> Bcl11b.no 251.21413 404.7851
print("Corresponding Coex")
#> [1] "Corresponding Coex"
getGenesCoex(obj)["Satb2", "Bcl11b"]
#> [1] -0.2028008Another useful function is getGenesCoex(). This can be used to extract
the whole or a partial COEX matrix from a COTAN object.
# For the whole matrix
coex <- getGenesCoex(obj, zeroDiagonal = FALSE)

2.5 Uniform Clustering
It is possible to obtain a cell clusterization based on the concept of
uniformity of expression of the genes across the cells.
That is the cluster satisfies the null hypothesis of the COTAN model:
the genes expression is not dependent on the cell in consideration.
There are two functions involved into obtaining a proper clusterization:
the first is cellsUniformClustering that uses standard tools clusterization
methods, but then discards and re-clusters any non-uniform cluster.
Please note that the most important parameters for the users are the
GDIThresholds inside the Uniform Transcript checkers: they define how
strict is the check. Default constructed advance check gives a pretty strong
guarantee of uniformity for the cluster.
# This code is a little too computationally heavy to be used in an example
# So we stored the result and we can load it in the next section
# default constructed checker is OK

It is possible to visualize how relevant are the marker genes’ lists with
respect to the given clusterization

draw(splitHeatmap)
Since the algorithm that creates the clusters is not directly geared to achieve cluster uniformity, there might be some clusters that can be merged back together and still be uniform.
This is the purpose of the function mergeUniformCellsClusters that takes a
clusterization and tries to merge cluster pairs after checking that together
the pair forms a uniform cluster.
In order to avoid running the totality of the possible checks (as it can explode quickly with the number of clusters), the function relies on a related distance the find the cluster pairs that have the highest chance to be merged.

table(mergedClusters)Again, here, the most important parameters for the users are the GDIThresholds
inside the Uniform Transcript checkers: they define how strict is the
check. Default constructed advance check gives a pretty strong guarantee of
uniformity for the cluster. If one wants to achieve a more relaxed merge,
it is possible to define a sequence of checkers, each less stringent than the
previous, that will be applied sequentially: First all the merges with the
stricter checker are performed, than those that satisfy the second, and so on.

calculate their DEA data.frame and add them to the COTAN object.

obj <- addClusterization(obj, clName = "merge2", clusters = mergedClusters2,

merge and merge2

In the following graph, it is possible to check that the found clusters align very well to the expression of the layers’ genes defined above…
It is possible to plot the clusterization on a UMAP plot
