Manifold alignment for heterogeneous single-cell multi-omics data integration using Pamona.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Single-cell multi-omics sequencing data can provide a comprehensive molecular view of cells. However, effective approaches for the integrative analysis of such data are challenging. Existing manifold alignment methods demonstrated the state-of-the-art performance on single-cell multi-omics data integration, but they are often limited by requiring that single-cell datasets be derived from the same underlying cellular structure.

Results

In this study, we present Pamona, a partial Gromov-Wasserstein distance based manifold alignment framework that integrates heterogeneous single-cell multi-omics datasets with the aim of delineating and representing the shared and dataset-specific cellular structures across modalities. We formulate this task as a partial manifold alignment problem and develop a partial Gromov-Wasserstein optimal transport framework to solve it. Pamona identifies both shared and dataset-specific cells based on the computed probabilistic couplings of cells across datasets, and it aligns cellular modalities in a common low-dimensional space, while simultaneously preserving both shared and dataset-specific structures. Our framework can easily incorporate prior information, such as cell type annotations or cell-cell correspondence, to further improve alignment quality. We evaluated Pamona on a comprehensive set of publicly available benchmark datasets. We demonstrated that Pamona can accurately identify shared and dataset-specific cells, as well as faithfully recover and align cellular structures of heterogeneous single-cell modalities in a common space, outperforming the comparable existing methods.

Unsupervised manifold alignment for single-cell multi-omics data.

Project description:Integrating single-cell measurements that capture different properties of the genome is vital to extending our understanding of genome biology. This task is challenging due to the lack of a shared axis across datasets obtained from different types of single-cell experiments. For most such datasets, we lack corresponding information among the cells (samples) and the measurements (features). In this scenario, unsupervised algorithms that are capable of aligning single-cell experiments are critical to learning an in silico co-assay that can help draw correspondences among the cells. Maximum mean discrepancy-based manifold alignment (MMD-MA) is such an unsupervised algorithm. Without requiring correspondence information, it can align single-cell datasets from different modalities in a common shared latent space, showing promising results on simulations and a small-scale single-cell experiment with 61 cells. However, it is essential to explore the applicability of this method to larger single-cell experiments with thousands of cells so that it can be of practical interest to the community. In this paper, we apply MMD-MA to two recent datasets that measure transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in ~2000 single cells. To scale the runtime of MMD-MA to a more substantial number of cells, we extend the original implementation to run on GPUs. We also introduce a method to automatically select one of the user-defined parameters, thus reducing the hyperparameter search space. We demonstrate that the proposed extensions allow MMD-MA to accurately align state-of-the-art single-cell experiments.

scTopoGAN: unsupervised manifold alignment of single-cell data.

Project description:MotivationSingle-cell technologies allow deep characterization of different molecular aspects of cells. Integrating these modalities provides a comprehensive view of cellular identity. Current integration methods rely on overlapping features or cells to link datasets measuring different modalities, limiting their application to experiments where different molecular layers are profiled in different subsets of cells.ResultsWe present scTopoGAN, a method for unsupervised manifold alignment of single-cell datasets with non-overlapping cells or features. We use topological autoencoders (topoAE) to obtain latent representations of each modality separately. A topology-guided Generative Adversarial Network then aligns these latent representations into a common space. We show that scTopoGAN outperforms state-of-the-art manifold alignment methods in complete unsupervised settings. Interestingly, the topoAE for individual modalities also showed better performance in preserving the original structure of the data in the low-dimensional representations when compared to other manifold projection methods. Taken together, we show that the concept of topology preservation might be a powerful tool to align multiple single modality datasets, unleashing the potential of multi-omic interpretations of cells.Availability and implementationImplementation available on GitHub (https://github.com/AkashCiel/scTopoGAN). All datasets used in this study are publicly available.

Paired single-cell multi-omics data integration with Mowgli.

Project description:The profiling of multiple molecular layers from the same set of cells has recently become possible. There is thus a growing need for multi-view learning methods able to jointly analyze these data. We here present Multi-Omics Wasserstein inteGrative anaLysIs (Mowgli), a novel method for the integration of paired multi-omics data with any type and number of omics. Of note, Mowgli combines integrative Nonnegative Matrix Factorization and Optimal Transport, enhancing at the same time the clustering performance and interpretability of integrative Nonnegative Matrix Factorization. We apply Mowgli to multiple paired single-cell multi-omics data profiled with 10X Multiome, CITE-seq, and TEA-seq. Our in-depth benchmark demonstrates that Mowgli's performance is competitive with the state-of-the-art in cell clustering and superior to the state-of-the-art once considering biological interpretability. Mowgli is implemented as a Python package seamlessly integrated within the scverse ecosystem and it is available at http://github.com/cantinilab/mowgli .

Benchmarking multi-omics integration algorithms across single-cell RNA and ATAC data.

Project description:Recent advancements in single-cell sequencing technologies have generated extensive omics data in various modalities and revolutionized cell research, especially in the single-cell RNA and ATAC data. The joint analysis across scRNA-seq data and scATAC-seq data has paved the way to comprehending the cellular heterogeneity and complex cellular regulatory networks. Multi-omics integration is gaining attention as an important step in joint analysis, and the number of computational tools in this field is growing rapidly. In this paper, we benchmarked 12 multi-omics integration methods on three integration tasks via qualitative visualization and quantitative metrics, considering six main aspects that matter in multi-omics data analysis. Overall, we found that different methods have their own advantages on different aspects, while some methods outperformed other methods in most aspects. We therefore provided guidelines for selecting appropriate methods for specific scenarios and tasks to help obtain meaningful insights from multi-omics data integration.

Integration of single-cell multi-omics data by regression analysis on unpaired observations.

Project description:Despite recent developments, it is hard to profile all multi-omics single-cell data modalities on the same cell. Thus, huge amounts of single-cell genomics data of unpaired observations on different cells are generated. We propose a method named UnpairReg for the regression analysis on unpaired observations to integrate single-cell multi-omics data. On real and simulated data, UnpairReg provides an accurate estimation of cell gene expression where only chromatin accessibility data is available. The cis-regulatory network inferred from UnpairReg is highly consistent with eQTL mapping. UnpairReg improves cell type identification accuracy by joint analysis of single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility data.

scMCs: a framework for single-cell multi-omics data integration and multiple clusterings.

Project description:MotivationThe integration of single-cell multi-omics data can uncover the underlying regulatory basis of diverse cell types and states. However, contemporary methods disregard the omics individuality, and the high noise, sparsity, and heterogeneity of single-cell data also impact the fusion effect. Furthermore, available single-cell clustering methods only focus on the cell type clustering, which cannot mine the alternative clustering to comprehensively analyze cells.ResultsWe propose a single-cell data fusion based multiple clustering (scMCs) approach that can jointly model single-cell transcriptomics and epigenetic data, and explore multiple different clusterings. scMCs first mines the omics-specific and cross-omics consistent representations, then fuses them into a co-embedding representation, which can dissect cellular heterogeneity and impute data. To discover the potential alternative clustering embedded in multi-omics, scMCs projects the co-embedding representation into different salient subspaces. Meanwhile, it reduces the redundancy between subspaces to enhance the diversity of alternative clusterings and optimizes the cluster centers in each subspace to boost the quality of corresponding clustering. Unlike single clustering, these alternative clusterings provide additional perspectives for understanding complex genetic information, such as cell types and states. Experimental results show that scMCs can effectively identify subcellular types, impute dropout events, and uncover diverse cell characteristics by giving different but meaningful clusterings.Availability and implementationThe code is available at www.sdu-idea.cn/codes.php?name=scMCs.

A universal framework for single-cell multi-omics data integration with graph convolutional networks.

Project description:Single-cell omics data are growing at an unprecedented rate, whereas effective integration of them remains challenging due to different sequencing methods, quality, and expression pattern of each omics data. In this study, we propose a universal framework for the integration of single-cell multi-omics data based on graph convolutional network (GCN-SC). Among the multiple single-cell data, GCN-SC usually selects one data with the largest number of cells as the reference and the rest as the query dataset. It utilizes mutual nearest neighbor algorithm to identify cell-pairs, which provide connections between cells both within and across the reference and query datasets. A GCN algorithm further takes the mixed graph constructed from these cell-pairs to adjust count matrices from the query datasets. Finally, dimension reduction is performed by using non-negative matrix factorization before visualization. By applying GCN-SC on six datasets, we show that GCN-SC can effectively integrate sequencing data from multiple single-cell sequencing technologies, species or different omics, which outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, including Seurat, LIGER, GLUER and Pamona.

Clustering single-cell multi-omics data with MoClust.

Project description:MotivationSingle-cell multi-omics sequencing techniques have rapidly developed in the past few years. Clustering analysis with single-cell multi-omics data may give us novel perspectives to dissect cellular heterogeneity. However, multi-omics data have the properties of inherited large dimension, high sparsity and existence of doublets. Moreover, representations of different omics from even the same cell follow diverse distributions. Without proper distribution alignment techniques, clustering methods will encounter less separable clusters easily affected by less informative omics data.ResultsWe developed MoClust, a novel joint clustering framework that can be applied to several types of single-cell multi-omics data. A selective automatic doublet detection module that can identify and filter out doublets is introduced in the pretraining stage to improve data quality. Omics-specific autoencoders are introduced to characterize the multi-omics data. A contrastive learning way of distribution alignment is adopted to adaptively fuse omics representations into an omics-invariant representation. This novel way of alignment boosts the compactness and separableness of clusters, while accurately weighting the contribution of each omics to the clustering object. Extensive experiments, over both simulated and real multi-omics datasets, demonstrated the powerful alignment, doublet detection and clustering ability features of MoClust.Availability and implementationAn implementation of MoClust is available from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7306504.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Computational Methods for Single-Cell Imaging and Omics Data Integration.

Project description:Integrating single cell omics and single cell imaging allows for a more effective characterisation of the underlying mechanisms that drive a phenotype at the tissue level, creating a comprehensive profile at the cellular level. Although the use of imaging data is well established in biomedical research, its primary application has been to observe phenotypes at the tissue or organ level, often using medical imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, and PET. These imaging technologies complement omics-based data in biomedical research because they are helpful for identifying associations between genotype and phenotype, along with functional changes occurring at the tissue level. Single cell imaging can act as an intermediary between these levels. Meanwhile new technologies continue to arrive that can be used to interrogate the genome of single cells and its related omics datasets. As these two areas, single cell imaging and single cell omics, each advance independently with the development of novel techniques, the opportunity to integrate these data types becomes more and more attractive. This review outlines some of the technologies and methods currently available for generating, processing, and analysing single-cell omics- and imaging data, and how they could be integrated to further our understanding of complex biological phenomena like ageing. We include an emphasis on machine learning algorithms because of their ability to identify complex patterns in large multidimensional data.

Single Cell Multi-Omics Profiling Using ISSAAC-seq

Project description:Joint profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same single cell provides critical information about cell types in a tissue and cell states during a dynamic process. These emerging multi-omics techniques help the investigation of cell-type resolved gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we developed in situ SHERRY after ATAC-seq (ISSAAC-seq), a highly sensitive and flexible single cell multi-omics method to interrogate chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same single cell. We demonstrated that ISSAAC-seq is sensitive and provides high quality data with orders of magnitude more features than existing methods. Using the joint profiles from thousands of nuclei from the mouse cerebral cortex, we uncovered major and rare cell types together with their cell-type specific regulatory elements and expression profiles. Finally, we revealed distinct dynamics and relationships of transcription and chromatin accessibility during an oligodendrocyte maturation trajectory.
