Project description:Normalization of RNA-sequencing data is essential for accurate downstream inference, but the assumptions upon which most methods are based do not hold in the single-cell setting. Consequently, applying existing normalization methods to single-cell RNA-seq data introduces artifacts that bias downstream analyses. To address this, we introduce SCnorm for accurate and efficient normalization of scRNA-seq data.

Project description:Motivation: Sample source, procurement process, and other technical variations introduce batch effects into genomics data. Algorithms to remove these artifacts enhance differences between known biological covariates, but also carry potential concern of removing intra-group biological heterogeneity and thus any personalized genomic signatures. As a result, accurate identification of novel subtypes from batch corrected genomics data is challenging using standard algorithms designed to remove batch effects for class comparison analyses. Nor can batch effects be corrected reliably in future applications of genomics-based clinical tests, in which the biological groups are by definition unknown a priori. Results: Therefore, we introduce new algorithm, personalized-SVA (pSVA), blind to biological covariates corrected technical artifacts while retaining biological heterogeneity in genomic data. This algorithm facilitated accurate subtype identification in head and neck cancer from gene expression data in both formalin fixed and frozen samples. When applied to predict HPV status, pSVA improved cross- study validation even if the sample batches were highly confounded with HPV status in the training set. Availability: All analyses were performed using R version 2.15.0. The code and data used to generate the results of this manuscript is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/psva.

Project description:Isobaric labeling has the promise of combining high sample multiplexing with precise quantification. However, normalization issues and the missing value problem of complete n-plexes hamper quantification across more than one n-plex. Here we introduce two novel algorithms implemented in MaxQuant that substantially improve the data analysis with multiple n-plexes. First, isobaric matching between runs (IMBR) makes use of the three-dimensional MS1 features to transfer identifications from identified to unidentified MS/MS spectra between LC-MS runs in order to utilize reporter ion intensities in unidentified spectra for quantification. On typical datasets, we observe a significant gain in quantifiable n-plexesMS/MS spectra that can be used for quantification. Second, we introduce a novel PSM-level normalization, applicable to data with and without common reference channel. It is a weighted median-based method, in which the weights reflect the number of ions that were used for fragmentation. On a typical dataset, we observe complete removal of batch effects and dominance of the biological sample grouping after normalization. This dataset is one of the datasets used for the study. It is TMT 10-plex with a reference channel.

Project description:Bulk RNA-sequencing of the mesendoderm progenitors before aggregation. Mesendoderm progenitors aggregates can lead to the formation of cardiac microtissues, multilineage and gut organoids in different batches. Despite batch-to-batch differences in spheroid phenotype, all spheroids (n>200) within a single batch derived from the same initial differentiation of progenitor cells manifested identical morphologies and cellularity.

Project description:Microarray is a powerful technique that has been used extensively for genome-wide gene expression analysis. Several different microarray technologies are available, but lack of standardization makes it challenging to compare and integrate data from different platforms. Furthermore, batch related biases within datasets are common, but are often not tackled prior to the data analysis, potentially affecting the end results. In the current study, a set of 234 breast cancer samples were analyzed on two different microarray platforms. The aim was to compare and evaluate the reproducibility and accuracy of gene expression measurements obtained from our in-house 29K array platform with data from Agilent SurePrint G3 microarray platform. The 29K dataset contained known batch-effects associated with the fabrication procedure. We here demonstrate how the use of ComBat batch adjustments method can unmask true biological signals by successfully overcoming systematic technical variations caused by differences between fabrication batches and microarray platforms. Paired correlation analysis revealed a high level of consistency between data obtained from the 29K gene expression platform and Agilent SurePrint G3 platform, which could be further improved by ComBat batch adjustment. Particularly high-variance genes were found to be highly reproducibly expressed across platforms. Furthermore, high concordance rates were observed both for prediction of estrogen receptor status and intrinsic molecular breast cancer subtype classification, two clinical important parameters. In conclusion, the current study emphasizes the importance of utilizing proper batch adjustment methods to reduce systematically technical bias when comparing and integrating data from different fabrication batches and microarray platforms.

Project description:This study aims to assess the reliability of spike-in normalization for analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data. This is done by performing mixture experiments where two different sets of spike-in RNA (ERCC and SIRV) are added separately to a single mouse cell (416B or trophoblast stem cells (TSCs)), followed by generation of sequencing libraries using a modified version of the Smart-seq2 protocol. The aim is to measure the variance of the log-ratio of the total counts between the two spike-in sets. This will quantify how precisely the spike-in RNA was added to each well. As a control, addition was also performed with a premixed solution of both spike-ins, to quantify the variability in the log-ratios due to the experimental protocol. The same data can also be used to measure the well-to-well variability in the differences in behaviour between the two spike-in sets. The data contain four batches of libraries (block), using different batches of cells that were processed and sequenced separately. Each batch contains libraries with all three types of spike-in addition (ERCC+SIRV, SIRV+ERCC or Premixed). The 416B cells also contain a CBFB-MYH11 oncogene, which is expressed in half of the cells (Induced) and silent in the other half (Control).

Project description:We developed a unique multi-batch benchmarking dataset. The design is based on a standard two-species dilution model3,18,19 with mouse plasma used to create a background of potentially interfering peptides at 1:1 ratios while yeast cultures are mixed across a range of known ratios. For the purposes of investigating how best to combine isobaric batches the experiment is designed with two main goals. First, we needed multiple batches of data containing a wide range of known changes, with some large enough to test the dynamic range of our instrument, and others small enough to probe our capacity for detecting small perturbations. Second, we need a wide variety of batch compositions to better reflect the full set of patterns that we might observe when studying a random assortment of genetically diverse samples. To this end, yeast proteomes were diluted at eleven different levels of known changes with a maximum dilution of 1/32 by the use of an automated liquid handler. To generate a diversity of batch compositions across the proteome, we cultured yeast in various carbon and nitrogen source combinations known to substantially alter the yeast proteome20. Both media groups and dilution levels were randomly assigned throughout six batches of TMT-labeled samples

Project description:Small RNA-seq from 10 day-old wild-type Physcomitrella patens was performed using 5 biological replicates. Replicates were grown in three batches at different times. Batch 1 had one replicate from strain "old WT", Batch 2 had two replicates from strain "old WT", and batch 3 had two replicates from strain "2009 WT". Old WT and 2009 WT were collected from Gransden wood, England; "old" has been in lab cultivation for at least 10 years, while "2009" was more recently collected from the wild (in 2009.)

Project description:Gonadotrophins, including Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), have been used since and for several decades to treat infertility by ovarian stimulation. The hCG is being extracted from urine of pregnant women and it does inevitably contains other proteins secreted into urine. The presence of other proteins varies from batch to batch and it can be significantly high. Current study investigated the presence of proteins other than hCG in different batches of commercial formulations produced by extraction from urine and by using the recombinant approach. The total protein content varied from batch to batch and a large number of contaminant urinary proteins were identified in all analyzed samples except for the recombinant product

Project description:This study aims to profile the transcriptomes of single naive and primed human embryonic stem cells. Cells from the H9 line were cultured to select for naive or primed phenotypes, and a sequencing library was generated from each single cell using the Smart-seq2 method. This was repeated for multiple experimental batches, i.e., independent cultures. Batch 1 consists of sequencing runs 2383 and 2384; batch 2 consists of runs 2678, 2679, 2739 and 2740; and batch 3 consists of runs 2780 and 2781. Transcriptional profiles for all cells were obtained from the sequencing data and used to explore substructure and heterogeneity in the population for each phenotype.
