Integration of single cell data by disentangled representation learning.

ABSTRACT: Recent developments of single cell RNA-sequencing technologies lead to the exponential growth of single cell sequencing datasets across different conditions. Combining these datasets helps to better understand cellular identity and function. However, it is challenging to integrate different datasets from different laboratories or technologies due to batch effect, which are interspersed with biological variances. To overcome this problem, we have proposed Single Cell Integration by Disentangled Representation Learning (SCIDRL), a domain adaption-based method, to learn low-dimensional representations invariant to batch effect. This method can efficiently remove batch effect while retaining cell type purity. We applied it to thirteen diverse simulated and real datasets. Benchmark results show that SCIDRL outperforms other methods in most cases and exhibits excellent performances in two common situations: (i) effective integration of batch-shared rare cell types and preservation of batch-specific rare cell types; (ii) reliable integration of datasets with different cell compositions. This demonstrates SCIDRL will offer a valuable tool for researchers to decode the enigma of cell heterogeneity.

scDisInFact: disentangled learning for integration and prediction of multi-batch multi-condition single-cell RNA-sequencing data.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been widely used for disease studies, where sample batches are collected from donors under different conditions including demographical groups, disease stages, and drug treatments. It is worth noting that the differences among sample batches in such a study are a mixture of technical confounders caused by batch effect and the biological variations caused by condition effect. However, current batch effect removal methods often eliminate both technical batch effects and meaningful condition effects, while perturbation prediction methods solely focus on condition effects, resulting in inaccurate gene expression predictions due to unaccounted batch effects. Here we introduce scDisInFact, a deep learning framework that models both batch effect and condition effect in scRNA-seq data. scDisInFact learns latent factors that disentangle condition effects from batch effects, enabling it to simultaneously perform three tasks: batch effect removal, condition-associated key gene detection, and perturbation prediction. We evaluated scDisInFact on both simulated and real datasets, and compared its performance to baseline methods for each task. Our results demonstrate that scDisInFact outperforms existing methods that focus on individual tasks, providing a more comprehensive and accurate approach for integrating and predicting multi-batch multi-condition single-cell RNA-sequencing data.

Network embedding-based representation learning for single cell RNA-seq data.

Project description:Single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) techniques can reveal valuable insights of cell-to-cell heterogeneities. Projection of high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional subspace is a powerful strategy in general for mining such big data. However, scRNA-seq suffers from higher noise and lower coverage than traditional bulk RNA-seq, hence bringing in new computational difficulties. One major challenge is how to deal with the frequent drop-out events. The events, usually caused by the stochastic burst effect in gene transcription and the technical failure of RNA transcript capture, often render traditional dimension reduction methods work inefficiently. To overcome this problem, we have developed a novel Single Cell Representation Learning (SCRL) method based on network embedding. This method can efficiently implement data-driven non-linear projection and incorporate prior biological knowledge (such as pathway information) to learn more meaningful low-dimensional representations for both cells and genes. Benchmark results show that SCRL outperforms other dimensional reduction methods on several recent scRNA-seq datasets.

SAILER: scalable and accurate invariant representation learning for single-cell ATAC-seq processing and integration.

Project description:MotivationSingle-cell sequencing assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (scATAC-seq) provides new opportunities to dissect epigenomic heterogeneity and elucidate transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. However, computational modeling of scATAC-seq data is challenging due to its high dimension, extreme sparsity, complex dependencies and high sensitivity to confounding factors from various sources.ResultsHere, we propose a new deep generative model framework, named SAILER, for analyzing scATAC-seq data. SAILER aims to learn a low-dimensional nonlinear latent representation of each cell that defines its intrinsic chromatin state, invariant to extrinsic confounding factors like read depth and batch effects. SAILER adopts the conventional encoder-decoder framework to learn the latent representation but imposes additional constraints to ensure the independence of the learned representations from the confounding factors. Experimental results on both simulated and real scATAC-seq datasets demonstrate that SAILER learns better and biologically more meaningful representations of cells than other methods. Its noise-free cell embeddings bring in significant benefits in downstream analyses: clustering and imputation based on SAILER result in 6.9% and 18.5% improvements over existing methods, respectively. Moreover, because no matrix factorization is involved, SAILER can easily scale to process millions of cells. We implemented SAILER into a software package, freely available to all for large-scale scATAC-seq data analysis.Availability and implementationThe software is publicly available at https://github.com/uci-cbcl/SAILER.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

SMILE: mutual information learning for integration of single-cell omics data.

Project description:MotivationDeep learning approaches have empowered single-cell omics data analysis in many ways and generated new insights from complex cellular systems. As there is an increasing need for single-cell omics data to be integrated across sources, types and features of data, the challenges of integrating single-cell omics data are rising. Here, we present an unsupervised deep learning algorithm that learns discriminative representations for single-cell data via maximizing mutual information, SMILE (Single-cell Mutual Information Learning).ResultsUsing a unique cell-pairing design, SMILE successfully integrates multisource single-cell transcriptome data, removing batch effects and projecting similar cell types, even from different tissues, into the shared space. SMILE can also integrate data from two or more modalities, such as joint-profiling technologies using single-cell ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, DNA methylation, Hi-C and ChIP data. When paired cells are known, SMILE can integrate data with unmatched feature, such as genes for RNA-seq and genome-wide peaks for ATAC-seq. Integrated representations learned from joint-profiling technologies can then be used as a framework for comparing independent single source data.Availability and implementationThe source code of SMILE including analyses of key results in the study can be found at: https://github.com/rpmccordlab/SMILE, implemented in Python.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

MichiGAN: sampling from disentangled representations of single-cell data using generative adversarial networks.

Project description:Deep generative models such as variational autoencoders (VAEs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs) generate and manipulate high-dimensional images. We systematically assess the complementary strengths and weaknesses of these models on single-cell gene expression data. We also develop MichiGAN, a novel neural network that combines the strengths of VAEs and GANs to sample from disentangled representations without sacrificing data generation quality. We learn disentangled representations of three large single-cell RNA-seq datasets and use MichiGAN to sample from these representations. MichiGAN allows us to manipulate semantically distinct aspects of cellular identity and predict single-cell gene expression response to drug treatment.

scBiG for representation learning of single-cell gene expression data based on bipartite graph embedding.

Project description:Analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data remains a challenge due to its high dimensionality, sparsity and technical noise. Recognizing the benefits of dimensionality reduction in simplifying complexity and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio, we introduce scBiG, a novel graph node embedding method designed for representation learning in scRNA-seq data. scBiG establishes a bipartite graph connecting cells and expressed genes, and then constructs a multilayer graph convolutional network to learn cell and gene embeddings. Through a series of extensive experiments, we demonstrate that scBiG surpasses commonly used dimensionality reduction techniques in various analytical tasks. Downstream tasks encompass unsupervised cell clustering, cell trajectory inference, gene expression reconstruction and gene co-expression analysis. Additionally, scBiG exhibits notable computational efficiency and scalability. In summary, scBiG offers a useful graph neural network framework for representation learning in scRNA-seq data, empowering a diverse array of downstream analyses.

Comprehensive Integration of Single-Cell Data.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics has transformed our ability to characterize cell states, but deep biological understanding requires more than a taxonomic listing of clusters. As new methods arise to measure distinct cellular modalities, a key analytical challenge is to integrate these datasets to better understand cellular identity and function. Here, we develop a strategy to "anchor" diverse datasets together, enabling us to integrate single-cell measurements not only across scRNA-seq technologies, but also across different modalities. After demonstrating improvement over existing methods for integrating scRNA-seq data, we anchor scRNA-seq experiments with scATAC-seq to explore chromatin differences in closely related interneuron subsets and project protein expression measurements onto a bone marrow atlas to characterize lymphocyte populations. Lastly, we harmonize in situ gene expression and scRNA-seq datasets, allowing transcriptome-wide imputation of spatial gene expression patterns. Our work presents a strategy for the assembly of harmonized references and transfer of information across datasets.

Accurate integration of multiple heterogeneous single-cell RNA-seq data sets by learning contrastive biological variation.

Project description:For most biological and medical applications of single-cell transcriptomics, an integrative study of multiple heterogeneous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data sets is crucial. However, present approaches are unable to integrate diverse data sets from various biological conditions effectively because of the confounding effects of biological and technical differences. We introduce single-cell integration (scInt), an integration method based on accurate, robust cell-cell similarity construction and unified contrastive biological variation learning from multiple scRNA-seq data sets. scInt provides a flexible and effective approach to transfer knowledge from the already integrated reference to the query. We show that scInt outperforms 10 other cutting-edge approaches using both simulated and real data sets, particularly in the case of complex experimental designs. Application of scInt to mouse developing tracheal epithelial data shows its ability to integrate development trajectories from different developmental stages. Furthermore, scInt successfully identifies functionally distinct condition-specific cell subpopulations in single-cell heterogeneous samples from a variety of biological conditions.

Bi-order multimodal integration of single-cell data.

Project description:Integration of single-cell multiomics profiles generated by different single-cell technologies from the same biological sample is still challenging. Previous approaches based on shared features have only provided approximate solutions. Here, we present a novel mathematical solution named bi-order canonical correlation analysis (bi-CCA), which extends the widely used CCA approach to iteratively align the rows and the columns between data matrices. Bi-CCA is generally applicable to combinations of any two single-cell modalities. Validations using co-assayed ground truth data and application to a CAR-NK study and a fetal muscle atlas demonstrate its capability in generating accurate multimodal co-embeddings and discovering cellular identity.
