SMGR: a joint statistical method for integrative analysis of single-cell multi-omics data

ABSTRACT: Abstract Unravelling the regulatory programs from single-cell multi-omics data has long been one of the major challenges in genomics, especially in the current emerging single-cell field. Currently there is a huge gap between fast-growing single-cell multi-omics data and effective methods for the integrative analysis of these inherent sparse and heterogeneous data. In this study, we have developed a novel method, Single-cell Multi-omics Gene co-Regulatory algorithm (SMGR), to detect coherent functional regulatory signals and target genes from the joint single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq) data obtained from different samples. Given that scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data can be captured by zero-inflated Negative Binomial distribution, we utilize a generalized linear regression model to identify the latent representation of consistently expressed genes and peaks, thus enables the identification of co-regulatory programs and the elucidation of regulating mechanisms. Results from both simulation and experimental data demonstrate that SMGR outperforms the existing methods with considerably improved accuracy. To illustrate the biological insights of SMGR, we apply SMGR to mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and identify the MPAL-specific regulatory program with significant peak-gene links, which greatly enhance our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms and potential targets of this complex tumor.

TiMEG: an integrative statistical method for partially missing multi-omics data.

Project description:Multi-omics data integration is widely used to understand the genetic architecture of disease. In multi-omics association analysis, data collected on multiple omics for the same set of individuals are immensely important for biomarker identification. But when the sample size of such data is limited, the presence of partially missing individual-level observations poses a major challenge in data integration. More often, genotype data are available for all individuals under study but gene expression and/or methylation information are missing for different subsets of those individuals. Here, we develop a statistical model TiMEG, for the identification of disease-associated biomarkers in a case-control paradigm by integrating the above-mentioned data types, especially, in presence of missing omics data. Based on a likelihood approach, TiMEG exploits the inter-relationship among multiple omics data to capture weaker signals, that remain unidentified in single-omic analysis or common imputation-based methods. Its application on a real tuberous sclerosis dataset identified functionally relevant genes in the disease pathway.

An integrative U method for joint analysis of multi-level omic data.

Project description:BackgroundThe advance of high-throughput technologies has made it cost-effective to collect diverse types of omic data in large-scale clinical and biological studies. While the collection of the vast amounts of multi-level omic data from these studies provides a great opportunity for genetic research, the high dimensionality of omic data and complex relationships among multi-level omic data bring tremendous analytic challenges.ResultsTo address these challenges, we develop an integrative U (IU) method for the design and analysis of multi-level omic data. While non-parametric methods make less model assumptions and are flexible for analyzing different types of phenotypes and omic data, they have been less developed for association analysis of omic data. The IU method is a nonparametric method that can accommodate various types of omic and phenotype data, and consider interactive relationship among different levels of omic data. Through simulations and a real data application, we compare the IU test with commonly used variance component tests.ConclusionsResults show that the proposed test attains more robust type I error performance and higher empirical power than variance component tests under various types of phenotypes and different underlying interaction effects.

PIntMF: Penalized Integrative Matrix Factorization method for multi-omics data.

Project description:MotivationIt is more and more common to perform multi-omics analyses to explore the genome at diverse levels and not only at a single level. Through integrative statistical methods, multi-omics data have the power to reveal new biological processes, potential biomarkers and subgroups in a cohort. Matrix factorization (MF) is an unsupervised statistical method that allows a clustering of individuals, but also reveals relevant omics variables from the various blocks.ResultsHere, we present PIntMF (Penalized Integrative Matrix Factorization), an MF model with sparsity, positivity and equality constraints. To induce sparsity in the model, we used a classical Lasso penalization on variable and individual matrices. For the matrix of samples, sparsity helps in the clustering, while normalization (matching an equality constraint) of inferred coefficients is added to improve interpretation. Moreover, we added an automatic tuning of the sparsity parameters using the famous glmnet package. We also proposed three criteria to help the user to choose the number of latent variables. PIntMF was compared with other state-of-the-art integrative methods including feature selection techniques in both synthetic and real data. PIntMF succeeds in finding relevant clusters as well as variables in two types of simulated data (correlated and uncorrelated). Next, PIntMF was applied to two real datasets (Diet and cancer), and it revealed interpretable clusters linked to available clinical data. Our method outperforms the existing ones on two criteria (clustering and variable selection). We show that PIntMF is an easy, fast and powerful tool to extract patterns and cluster samples from multi-omics data.Availability and implementationAn R package is available at https://github.com/mpierrejean/pintmf.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

A probabilistic multi-omics data matching method for detecting sample errors in integrative analysis.

Project description:BackgroundData errors, including sample swapping and mis-labeling, are inevitable in the process of large-scale omics data generation. Data errors need to be identified and corrected before integrative data analyses where different types of data are merged on the basis of the annotated labels. Data with labeling errors dampen true biological signals. More importantly, data analysis with sample errors could lead to wrong scientific conclusions. We developed a robust probabilistic multi-omics data matching procedure, proMODMatcher, to curate data and identify and correct data annotation and errors in large databases.ResultsApplication to simulated datasets suggests that proMODMatcher achieved robust statistical power even when the number of cis-associations was small and/or the number of samples was large. Application of our proMODMatcher to multi-omics datasets in The Cancer Genome Atlas and International Cancer Genome Consortium identified sample errors in multiple cancer datasets. Our procedure was not only able to identify sample-labeling errors but also to unambiguously identify the source of the errors. Our results demonstrate that these errors should be identified and corrected before integrative analysis.ConclusionsOur results indicate that sample-labeling errors were common in large multi-omics datasets. These errors should be corrected before integrative analysis.

MOPA: An integrative multi-omics pathway analysis method for measuring omics activity.

Project description:Pathways are composed of proteins forming a network to represent specific biological mechanisms and are often used to measure enrichment scores based on a list of genes in means to measure their biological activity. The pathway analysis is a de facto standard downstream analysis procedure in most genomic and transcriptomic studies. Here, we present MOPA (Multi-Omics Pathway Analysis), which is a multi-omics integrative method that scores individual pathways in a sample wise manner in terms of enriched multi-omics regulatory activity, which we refer to mES (multi-omics Enrichment Score). The mES score reflects the strength of regulatory relations between multi-omics in units of pathways. In addition, MOPA is able to measure how much each omics contribute to mES that may be used to observe what kind of omics are active in a pathway within a sample group (e.g., subtype, gender), which we refer to OCR (Omics Contribution Rate). Using nine different cancer types, 93 clinical features and three types of omics (i.e., gene expression, miRNA and methylation), MOPA was used to search for clinical features that were explainable in context of multi-omics. By evaluating the performance of MOPA, we showed that it yielded higher or at least equal performance compared to previous single and multi-omics pathway analysis tools. We find that the advantage of MOPA is the ability to explain pathways in terms of omics relation using mES and OCR. As one of the results, the TGF-beta signaling pathway was captured as an important pathway that showed distinct mES and OCR values specific to the CMS4 subtype in colon adenocarcinoma. The mES and OCR metrics suggested that the mRNA and miRNA expressions were significantly different from the other subtypes, which was concordant with previous studies. The MOPA software is available at https://github.com/jaeminjj/MOPA.

Integrative analysis of longitudinal metabolomics data from a personal multi-omics profile.

Project description:The integrative personal omics profile (iPOP) is a pioneering study that combines genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and autoantibody profiles from a single individual over a 14-month period. The observation period includes two episodes of viral infection: a human rhinovirus and a respiratory syncytial virus. The profile studies give an informative snapshot into the biological functioning of an organism. We hypothesize that pathway expression levels are associated with disease status. To test this hypothesis, we use biological pathways to integrate metabolomics and proteomics iPOP data. The approach computes the pathways' differential expression levels at each time point, while taking into account the pathway structure and the longitudinal design. The resulting pathway levels show strong association with the disease status. Further, we identify temporal patterns in metabolite expression levels. The changes in metabolite expression levels also appear to be consistent with the disease status. The results of the integrative analysis suggest that changes in biological pathways may be used to predict and monitor the disease. The iPOP experimental design, data acquisition and analysis issues are discussed within the broader context of personal profiling.

MODMatcher: multi-omics data matcher for integrative genomic analysis.

Project description:Errors in sample annotation or labeling often occur in large-scale genetic or genomic studies and are difficult to avoid completely during data generation and management. For integrative genomic studies, it is critical to identify and correct these errors. Different types of genetic and genomic data are inter-connected by cis-regulations. On that basis, we developed a computational approach, Multi-Omics Data Matcher (MODMatcher), to identify and correct sample labeling errors in multiple types of molecular data, which can be used in further integrative analysis. Our results indicate that inspection of sample annotation and labeling error is an indispensable data quality assurance step. Applied to a large lung genomic study, MODMatcher increased statistically significant genetic associations and genomic correlations by more than two-fold. In a simulation study, MODMatcher provided more robust results by using three types of omics data than two types of omics data. We further demonstrate that MODMatcher can be broadly applied to large genomic data sets containing multiple types of omics data, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data sets.

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.

Project description:Fast-developing single-cell multimodal omics (scMulti-omics) technologies enable the measurement of multiple modalities, such as DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, RNA expression, protein abundance, gene perturbation, and spatial information, from the same cell. scMulti-omics can comprehensively explore and identify cell characteristics, while also presenting challenges to the development of computational methods and tools for integrative analyses. Here, we review these integrative methods and summarize the existing tools for studying a variety of scMulti-omics data. The various functionalities and practical challenges in using the available tools in the public domain are explored through several case studies. Finally, we identify remaining challenges and future trends in scMulti-omics modeling and analyses.

Robust joint clustering of multi-omics single-cell data via multi-modal high-order neighborhood Laplacian matrix optimization.

Project description:MotivationSimultaneous profiling of multi-omics single-cell data represents exciting technological advancements for understanding cellular states and heterogeneity. Cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing allowed for parallel quantification of cell-surface protein expression and transcriptome profiling in the same cells; methylome and transcriptome sequencing from single cells allows for analysis of transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling in the same individual cells. However, effective integration method for mining the heterogeneity of cells over the noisy, sparse, and complex multi-modal data is in growing need.ResultsIn this article, we propose a multi-modal high-order neighborhood Laplacian matrix optimization framework for integrating the multi-omics single-cell data: scHoML. Hierarchical clustering method was presented for analyzing the optimal embedding representation and identifying cell clusters in a robust manner. This novel method by integrating high-order and multi-modal Laplacian matrices would robustly represent the complex data structures and allow for systematic analysis at the multi-omics single-cell level, thus promoting further biological discoveries.Availability and implementationMatlab code is available at https://github.com/jianghruc/scHoML.
