This tutorial shows how MuData can be integrated into with Bioconductor workflows to analyse CITE-seq data. ## Installation The most recent dev build can be installed from GitHub: ```{r, eval = FALSE} library(remotes) remotes::install_github("ilia-kats/MuData") ``` Stable version of `MuData` will be available in future bioconductor versions. ## Loading libraries ```{r setup, message = FALSE} library(MuData) library(SingleCellExperiment) library(MultiAssayExperiment) library(SingleCellMultiModal) library(scater) library(rhdf5) ``` ## Loading data We will use CITE-seq data accessible with the [`SingleCellMultiModal` Bioconductor package](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/experiment/vignettes/SingleCellMultiModal/inst/doc/CITEseq.html), which was originally described in [Stoeckius et al., 2017](https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4380). ```{r} mae <- CITEseq( DataType="cord_blood", modes="*", dry.run=FALSE, version="1.0.0" ) mae ``` We see two modalities in the object — `scRNAseq` and `scADT`, the latter providing counts for antibody-derived tags. Notably, each experiment is a matrix. ## Processing ADT data While CITE-seq analysis workflows such as [CiteFuse](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/CiteFuse.html) should be consulted for more details, below we exemplify simple data transformation in order to demonstrate how their output can be saved to an H5MU file later on. For ADT counts, we will apply CLR transformation following [Hao et al., 2020](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2021.04.048): ```{r} # Define CLR transformation as in the Seurat workflow clr <- function(data) t( apply(data, 1, function(x) log1p( x / (exp(sum(log1p(x[x > 0]), na.rm = TRUE) / length(x))) )) ) ``` We will make the ADT modality a `SingleCellExperiment` object and add an assay with CLR-transformed counts: ```{r} adt_counts <- mae[["scADT"]] mae[["scADT"]] <- SingleCellExperiment(adt_counts) assay(mae[["scADT"]], "clr") <- clr(adt_counts) ``` We will also generate reduced dimensions taking advantage of the functionality in the [`scater` package](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/scater/inst/doc/overview.html): ```{r} mae[["scADT"]] <- runPCA( mae[["scADT"]], exprs_values = "clr", ncomponents = 20 ) ``` ```{r} plotReducedDim(mae[["scADT"]], dimred = "PCA", by_exprs_values = "clr", colour_by = "CD3") plotReducedDim(mae[["scADT"]], dimred = "PCA", by_exprs_values = "clr", colour_by = "CD14") ``` ## Writing H5MU files We can write the contents of the MultiAssayExperiment object into an H5MU file: ```{r} writeH5MU(mae, "cord_blood_citeseq.h5mu") ``` We can check that both modalities were written to the file, whether it was a `matrix` for RNA or `SingleCellExperiment` for ADT: ```{r} h5 <- rhdf5::H5Fopen("cord_blood_citeseq.h5mu") h5ls(H5Gopen(h5, "mod"), recursive = FALSE) ``` ... both assays for ADT — raw counts are stored in `X` and CLR-transformed counts are in the corresponding layer: ```{r} h5ls(H5Gopen(h5, "mod/scADT"), recursive = FALSE) h5ls(H5Gopen(h5, "mod/scADT/layers"), recursive = FALSE) ``` ... as well as reduced dimensions (PCA): ```{r} h5ls(H5Gopen(h5, "mod/scADT/obsm"), recursive = FALSE) # There is an alternative way to access groups: # h5&'mod'&'scADT'&'obsm' rhdf5::H5close() ``` ## References - [Muon: multimodal omics analysis framework](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.01.445670) preprint - [mudata](https://mudata.readthedocs.io/) (Python) documentation - muon [documentation](https://muon.readthedocs.io/) and [web page](https://gtca.github.io/muon/) - Stoeckius, M., Hafemeister, C., Stephenson, W., Houck-Loomis, B., Chattopadhyay, P.K., Swerdlow, H., Satija, R. and Smibert, P., 2017.
