Checks: 7 0

Knit directory: single-cell-jamboree/analysis/

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(1) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version 7e5b3fd. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/gca.Rmd) and HTML (docs/gca.html) files.

Here we explore whether non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) identifies factors (i.e., gene programs) common to both the tissues and organoids. These results were generated using the fit_gca_nmf.R script, found here.

Load the packages needed for this analysis:

library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)
library(fastTopics)

Set the seed for reproducibility:

set.seed(1)

Load the results from running fitting an NMF model using flashier, with \(k = 30\):

load("../output/gca_nmf_k=20.RData")
L <- fl_nmf_ldf$L
colnames(L) <- paste0("k",1:20)

For better Structure Plots, subsample the EC cells:

rows1 <- which(sample_info$celltype == "EC")
rows2 <- which(sample_info$celltype != "EC")
rows1 <- sample(rows1,8000)
rows  <- c(rows1,rows2)
rows  <- sort(rows)
L     <- L[rows,]
sample_info <- sample_info[rows,]

These are the factors (gene programs) that are mostly specific to tissues. Observe that the memberships in the organoids (bottom) are mostly very small.

topics_tissue <- c("k2","k3","k9","k12","k14","k15","k20")
topic_colors <-
  c("#FFB300","#803E75","#FF6800","#A6BDD7","#C10020","#CEA262",
    "#93AA00","#007D34","#F6768E","#00538A","#FF7A5C","darkblue",
    "#FF8E00","yellow","cyan","#F4C800","#817066","#593315",
    "#F13A13","forestgreen")
rows1 <- which(sample_info$origin == "Tissue")
rows2 <- which(sample_info$origin == "Org")
p1 <- structure_plot(L[rows1,],gap = 10,topics = topics_tissue,
                     grouping = factor(sample_info[rows1,"celltype"]),
                     colors = topic_colors) +
  labs(y = "membership")
p2 <- structure_plot(L[rows2,],gap = 10,topics = topics_tissue,
                     grouping = factor(sample_info[rows2,"celltype"]),
                     colors = topic_colors) +
  labs(y = "membership") +
  ylim(0,1)
plot_grid(p1,p2,nrow = 2,ncol = 1)

Note: that I’m using the cell-type labels in the “celltype” column of the meta data as a reference point for understanding the gene programs.

Next, these are the gene programs mostly specific to organoids. Again, notice that the memberships are mostly very small in the tissues:

topics_organoid <- c("k4","k6","k8","k11","k13","k17","k18")
rows1 <- which(sample_info$origin == "Tissue")
rows2 <- which(sample_info$origin == "Org")
p3 <- structure_plot(L[rows1,],gap = 10,topics = topics_organoid,
                     grouping = factor(sample_info[rows1,"celltype"]),
                     colors = topic_colors) +
  labs(y = "membership") +
  ylim(0,2)
p4 <- structure_plot(L[rows2,],gap = 10,topics = topics_organoid,
                     grouping = factor(sample_info[rows2,"celltype"]),
                     colors = topic_colors) +
  labs(y = "membership")
plot_grid(p3,p4,nrow = 2,ncol = 1)

Finally, these are the gene programs that appear in both the tissues and the organoids. Some of the

topics_shared <- c("k5","k7","k10","k16","k19")
rows1 <- which(sample_info$origin == "Tissue")
rows2 <- which(sample_info$origin == "Org")
p5 <- structure_plot(L[rows1,],gap = 10,topics = topics_shared,
                     grouping = factor(sample_info[rows1,"celltype"]),
                     colors = topic_colors) +
  labs(y = "membership")
p6 <- structure_plot(L[rows2,],gap = 10,topics = topics_shared,
                     grouping = factor(sample_info[rows2,"celltype"]),
                     colors = topic_colors) +
  labs(y = "membership")
plot_grid(p5,p6,nrow = 2,ncol = 1)
