Chapter 5 Grun human pancreas (CEL-seq2)
5.1 Introduction
This workflow performs an analysis of the Grun et al. (2016) CEL-seq2 dataset consisting of human pancreas cells from various donors.
5.2 Data loading
We convert to Ensembl identifiers, and we remove duplicated genes or genes without Ensembl IDs.
5.3 Quality control
This dataset lacks mitochondrial genes so we will do without them for quality control.
We compute the median and MAD while blocking on the donor;
for donors where the assumption of a majority of high-quality cells seems to be violated (Figure 5.1),
we compute an appropriate threshold using the other donors as specified in the subset= argument.
library(scater)
stats <- perCellQCMetrics(sce.grun)
qc <- quickPerCellQC(stats, percent_subsets="altexps_ERCC_percent",
batch=sce.grun$donor,
subset=sce.grun$donor %in% c("D17", "D7", "D2"))
sce.grun <- sce.grun[,!qc$discard]colData(unfiltered) <- cbind(colData(unfiltered), stats)
unfiltered$discard <- qc$discard
gridExtra::grid.arrange(
plotColData(unfiltered, x="donor", y="sum", colour_by="discard") +
scale_y_log10() + ggtitle("Total count"),
plotColData(unfiltered, x="donor", y="detected", colour_by="discard") +
scale_y_log10() + ggtitle("Detected features"),

5.5 Variance modelling
We block on a combined plate and donor factor.
block <- paste0(sce.grun$sample, "_", sce.grun$donor)
dec.grun <- modelGeneVarWithSpikes(sce.grun, spikes="ERCC", block=block)
top.grun <- getTopHVGs(dec.grun, prop=0.1)We examine the number of cells in each level of the blocking factor.
