Project description:New technologies that profile chromatin modifications at single-cell resolution offer enormous promise for functional genomic characterization. However, the sparsity of these measurements and the challenge of integrating multiple binding maps represent significant challenges. Here we introduce scCUT&Tag-pro, a multimodal assay for profiling protein-DNA interactions coupled with the abundance of surface proteins in single cells. In addition, we introduce scChromHMM, which integrates data from multiple experiments to infer and annotate chromatin states based on combinatorial histone modification patterns. We apply these tools to perform an integrated analysis across nine different molecular modalities in circulating human immune cells. We demonstrate how these two approaches can characterize dynamic changes in the function of individual genomic elements across both discrete cell states and continuous developmental trajectories, nominate associated motifs and regulators that establish chromatin states, and identify extensive and cell type-specific regulatory priming. Finally, we demonstrate how our integrated reference can serve as a scaffold to map and improve the interpretation of additional scCUT&Tag datasets.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has transformed our ability to discover and annotate cell types and states, but deep biological understanding requires more than a taxonomic listing of clusters. As new methods arise to measure distinct cellular modalities, including high-dimensional immunophenotypes, chromatin accessibility, and spatial positioning, a key analytical challenge is to integrate these datasets into a harmonized atlas that can be used to better understand cellular identity and function. Here, we developed a computational strategy to "anchor" diverse datasets together, enabling us to integrate and compare single-cell measurements not only across scRNA-seq technologies, but different modalities as well. As one demonstration of the method, we anchor single-cell protein measurements with a human bone marrow atlas to annotate and characterize lymphocyte populations. The multimodal data, generated using CITE-seq, is provided here alongside a corresponding bulk validation experiment.

Project description:Understanding kidney disease relies upon defining the complexity of cell types and states, their associated molecular profiles, and interactions within tissue neighborhoods. We applied multiple single-cell or -nucleus assays (>400,000 nuclei/cells) and spatial imaging technologies to a broad spectrum of healthy reference (45 donors) and diseased (48 patients) kidneys. This has provided a high resolution cellular atlas of 51 main cell types that include rare and novel cell populations. The multi-omic approach provides detailed transcriptomic profiles, epigenomic regulatory factors, and spatial localizations spanning the entire kidney. We further define 28 cellular states across nephron segments and interstitium that were altered in kidney injury, encompassing cycling, adaptive or maladaptive repair, transitioning and degenerative states. Molecular signatures permitted localization of these states within injury neighborhoods using spatial transcriptomics, while large-scale 3D imaging analysis (~1.2 million neighborhoods) provided corresponding linkages to active immune responses. These analyses defined biological pathways relevant to injury time-course and niches, including signatures underlying epithelial repair that predicted maladaptive states associated with a decline in kidney function. This integrated multimodal spatial cell atlas of healthy and diseased human kidneys represents the most comprehensive benchmark of cellular states, neighborhoods, outcome-associated signatures, and publicly available interactive visualizations.

Project description:Probing epigenomic marks such as histone modifications at a single cell level in thousands of cells has been recently enabled by technologies such as scCUT&Tag. Here we developed a multimodal and optimized iteration of scCUT&Tag called nano-CT (for nano-CUT&Tag) that allows simultaneous probing of three epigenomic modalities at single-cell resolution, using nanobody-Tn5 fusion proteins. nano-CT is compatible with starting materials as low as 25 000 cells and has significantly higher resolution than scCUT&Tag, with a 16-fold increase in the number of fragments per cells. We used nano-CT to simultaneously profile chromatin accessibility, H3K27ac and H3K27me3 in a complex tissue - juvenile mouse brain. The obtained multimodal dataset allowed for discrimination of more cell types/states that scCUT&Tag, and inference of chromatin velocity between ATAC and H3K27ac in the oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage. In addition, we used nano-CT to deconvolute H3K27me3 repressive states and infer two sequential waves of H3K27me3 repression at distinct gene modules during OL lineage progression. Thus, given its high resolution, versatility, and multimodal features, nano-CT allows unique insights in epigenetic landscapes in different biological systems at single cell level.

Project description:Single-cell multi-omic datasets, in which multiple molecular modalities are profiled within the same cell, provide a unique opportunity to discover the interplay between cellular epigenomic and transcriptomic changes. To realize this potential, we developed MultiVelo, a mechanistic model of gene expression that extends the popular RNA velocity framework by incorporating epigenomic data. MultiVelo uses a probabilistic latent variable model to estimate the switch time and rate parameters of gene regulation, providing a quantitative summary of the temporal relationship between epigenomic and transcriptomic changes. Fitting MultiVelo on single-cell multi-omic datasets revealed two distinct mechanisms of regulation by chromatin accessibility, quantified the degree of concordance or discordance between transcriptomic and epigenomic states within each cell, and inferred the lengths of time lags between transcriptomic and epigenomic changes.

Project description:Metacells are cell groupings derived from single-cell sequencing data that represent highly granular, distinct cell states. Here, we present single-cell aggregation of cell-states (SEACells), an algorithm for identifying metacells; overcoming the sparsity of single-cell data, while retaining heterogeneity obscured by traditional cell clustering. SEACells outperforms existing algorithms in identifying accurate, compact, and well-separated metacells in both RNA and ATAC modalities across datasets with discrete cell types and continuous trajectories. We demonstrate the use of SEACells to improve gene-peak associations, compute ATAC gene scores and measure gene accessibility in each metacell. Metacell-level analysis scales to large datasets and are particularly well suited for patient cohorts, including facilitation of data integration. We use our metacells to reveal expression dynamics and gradual reconfiguration of the chromatin landscape during hematopoietic differentiation, and to uniquely identify CD4 T cell differentiation and activation states associated with disease onset and severity in a COVID-19 patient cohort.
