MOJITOO: a fast and universal method for integration of multimodal single-cell data.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

The advent of multi-modal single-cell sequencing techniques have shed new light on molecular mechanisms by simultaneously inspecting transcriptomes, epigenomes and proteomes of the same cell. However, to date, the existing computational approaches for integration of multimodal single-cell data are either computationally expensive, require the delineation of parameters or can only be applied to particular modalities.

Results

Here we present a single-cell multi-modal integration method, named Multi-mOdal Joint IntegraTion of cOmpOnents (MOJITOO). MOJITOO uses canonical correlation analysis for a fast and parameter free detection of a shared representation of cells from multimodal single-cell data. Moreover, estimated canonical components can be used for interpretation, i.e. association of modality-specific molecular features with the latent space. We evaluate MOJITOO using bi- and tri-modal single-cell datasets and show that MOJITOO outperforms existing methods regarding computational requirements, preservation of original latent spaces and clustering.

scTIE: data integration and inference of gene regulation using single-cell temporal multimodal data.

Project description:Single-cell technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to dissect gene regulatory mechanisms in context-specific ways. Although there are computational methods for extracting gene regulatory relationships from scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data, the data integration problem, essential for accurate cell type identification, has been mostly treated as a standalone challenge. Here we present scTIE, a unified method that integrates temporal multimodal data and infers regulatory relationships predictive of cellular state changes. scTIE uses an autoencoder to embed cells from all time points into a common space using iterative optimal transport, followed by extracting interpretable information to predict cell trajectories. Using a variety of synthetic and real temporal multimodal datasets, we demonstrate scTIE achieves effective data integration while preserving more biological signals than existing methods, particularly in the presence of batch effects and noise. Furthermore, on the exemplar multiome dataset we generated from differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells over time, we demonstrate scTIE captures regulatory elements highly predictive of cell transition probabilities, providing new potentials to understand the regulatory landscape driving developmental processes.

Fast, sensitive and accurate integration of single-cell data with Harmony.

Project description:The emerging diversity of single-cell RNA-seq datasets allows for the full transcriptional characterization of cell types across a wide variety of biological and clinical conditions. However, it is challenging to analyze them together, particularly when datasets are assayed with different technologies, because biological and technical differences are interspersed. We present Harmony (https://github.com/immunogenomics/harmony), an algorithm that projects cells into a shared embedding in which cells group by cell type rather than dataset-specific conditions. Harmony simultaneously accounts for multiple experimental and biological factors. In six analyses, we demonstrate the superior performance of Harmony to previously published algorithms while requiring fewer computational resources. Harmony enables the integration of ~106 cells on a personal computer. We apply Harmony to peripheral blood mononuclear cells from datasets with large experimental differences, five studies of pancreatic islet cells, mouse embryogenesis datasets and the integration of scRNA-seq with spatial transcriptomics data.

Fast model-free standardization and integration of single-cell transcriptomics data.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics datasets from the same anatomical sites generated by different research labs are becoming increasingly common. However, fast and computationally inexpensive tools for standardization of cell-type annotation and data integration are still needed in order to increase research inclusivity. To standardize cell-type annotation and integrate single-cell transcriptomics datasets, we have built a fast model-free integration method, named MASI (Marker-Assisted Standardization and Integration). MASI first identifies putative cell-type markers from reference data through an ensemble approach. Then, it converts gene expression matrix to cell-type score matrix with the identified putative cell-type markers for the purpose of cell-type annotation and data integration. Because of integration through cell-type markers instead of model inference, MASI can annotate approximately one million cells on a personal laptop, which provides a cheap computational alternative for the single-cell community. We benchmark MASI with other well-established methods and demonstrate that MASI outperforms other methods based on speed. Its performance for both tasks of data integration and cell-type annotation are comparable or even superior to these existing methods. To harness knowledge from single-cell atlases, we demonstrate three case studies that cover integration across biological conditions, surveyed participants, and research groups, respectively.

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 of single-cell multi-omics data with a multimodal deep learning method.

Project description:Single-cell multimodal sequencing technologies are developed to simultaneously profile different modalities of data in the same cell. It provides a unique opportunity to jointly analyze multimodal data at the single-cell level for the identification of distinct cell types. A correct clustering result is essential for the downstream complex biological functional studies. However, combining different data sources for clustering analysis of single-cell multimodal data remains a statistical and computational challenge. Here, we develop a novel multimodal deep learning method, scMDC, for single-cell multi-omics data clustering analysis. scMDC is an end-to-end deep model that explicitly characterizes different data sources and jointly learns latent features of deep embedding for clustering analysis. Extensive simulation and real-data experiments reveal that scMDC outperforms existing single-cell single-modal and multimodal clustering methods on different single-cell multimodal datasets. The linear scalability of running time makes scMDC a promising method for analyzing large multimodal datasets.

Integrated analysis of multimodal single-cell data.

Project description:The simultaneous measurement of multiple modalities represents an exciting frontier for single-cell genomics and necessitates computational methods that can define cellular states based on multimodal data. Here, we introduce "weighted-nearest neighbor" analysis, an unsupervised framework to learn the relative utility of each data type in each cell, enabling an integrative analysis of multiple modalities. We apply our procedure to a CITE-seq dataset of 211,000 human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with panels extending to 228 antibodies to construct a multimodal reference atlas of the circulating immune system. Multimodal analysis substantially improves our ability to resolve cell states, allowing us to identify and validate previously unreported lymphoid subpopulations. Moreover, we demonstrate how to leverage this reference to rapidly map new datasets and to interpret immune responses to vaccination and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our approach represents a broadly applicable strategy to analyze single-cell multimodal datasets and to look beyond the transcriptome toward a unified and multimodal definition of cellular identity.

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.

Clustering single-cell multimodal omics data with jrSiCKLSNMF.

Project description:Introduction: The development of multimodal single-cell omics methods has enabled the collection of data across different omics modalities from the same set of single cells. Each omics modality provides unique information about cell type and function, so the ability to integrate data from different modalities can provide deeper insights into cellular functions. Often, single-cell omics data can prove challenging to model because of high dimensionality, sparsity, and technical noise. Methods: We propose a novel multimodal data analysis method called joint graph-regularized Single-Cell Kullback-Leibler Sparse Non-negative Matrix Factorization (jrSiCKLSNMF, pronounced "junior sickles NMF") that extracts latent factors shared across omics modalities within the same set of single cells. Results: We compare our clustering algorithm to several existing methods on four sets of data simulated from third party software. We also apply our algorithm to a real set of cell line data. Discussion: We show overwhelmingly better clustering performance than several existing methods on the simulated data. On a real multimodal omics dataset, we also find our method to produce scientifically accurate clustering results.
