Bioinfo02 - making simulated single cell data with splatter

preparation

Recently, I saw a package in the article on single cell algorithm, which can easily generate various simulation data according to needs. Isn't it very convenient to make ground truth?

Just try.

Just install it directly and it's easy to:

BiocManager::install("splatter")
p_load(splatter, scuttle, scater)

1 - function introduction

y1s1, the logo of this package is pretty good:

  • Cell group effects: Where multiple, heterogeneous cell-groups are simulated for each individual. These groups could represent different cell-types or the same cell-type before/after a treatment. Group effects include group-specific differential expression (DE) and/or group-specific expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) effects.
  • Conditional effects between individuals: Where individuals are simulated as belonging to different conditional cohorts (e.g. different treatment groups or groups with different disease statuses). Conditional effects include DE and/or eQTL effects.
  • Batch effect from multiplexed experimental designs: Like in splat, batch effects are simulated by assigning small batch-specific DE effects to all genes. splatPop allows for the simulation of different patterns of batch effects, such as those resulting from multiplexed sequencing designs.

How does splat ter estimate single cell data?

The core of splat model is to use gamma Poisson and cell counts matrix to generate gene expression data.

The core of the Splat model is a gamma-Poisson distribution used to generate a gene by cell matrix of counts. Mean expression levels for each gene are simulated from a gamma distribution[4] and the Biological Coefficient of Variation is used to enforce a mean-variance trend before counts are simulated from a Poisson distribution[5]. Splat also allows you to simulate expression outlier genes (genes with mean expression outside the gamma distribution) and dropout (random knock out of counts based on mean expression). Each cell is given an expected library size (simulated from a log-normal distribution) that makes it easier to match to a given dataset.

2-splatparames object

All splat simulation related parameters are stored in the splatparames object.

params <- newSimpleParams()
params <- newSimpleParams(nGenes = 200, nCells = 10)

Access and modify parameters

For the moment, we can understand the splatparames object as a parameter object used by splat model to create simulated single-cell data, which contains all the parameter information of the single-cell model. In addition to the basic information such as gene number and cell number, it also includes information such as mean, batch, confounding factors, outliers and so on. For details, please refer to [[SplatParams detailed parameter introduction]]

Estimating parameters from real data

splat also allows us to estimate parameters directly from real single cell data, single cell experience (SCE) objects.

Create simulation data:

set.seed(1)

splat parameter estimation from real (simulated) data includes the following steps:

  • Mean parameters are estimated by fitting a gamma distribution to the mean expression levels
  • Library size: Library size parameters are estimated by fitting a log-normal distribution to the library sizes. (personal understanding is the library size counted by counts)
  • Expression outlier parameters are estimated by determining the number of outliers and fitting a log normal distribution to their difference from the medium
  • BCV parameters are estimated using the estimateDisp function from the edgeR package. (confounding variable)
  • Dropout parameters are estimated by checking if dropout is present and fitting a logistic function to the relationship between mean expression and proportion of zeros.

For details, see Splat simulation parameters (bioconductor.org)[6]

3 - construct the expression matrix by using the splat parameter estimation results

After configuring the splatparames object (after setting the parameter results for simulation), you can use this parameter object for simulation, that is, the function splatSimulate.

                     batchCells = rep(100,10))

We can also visualize it. Here, refer to the visualiseDim function in the package CiteFuse:

sim <- logNormCounts(sim)
# Plot PCA
sim <- runPCA(sim)
visualiseDim(sim,
             dimNames = "PCA",
             colour_by = "Batch")
copy

It can be seen that the output of splatSimulate function is an sce object, which can be used for subsequent single-cell analysis.

This function outputs the following information:

  • Cell information (colData)
    • Cell - Unique cell identifier.
    • Group - The group or path the cell belongs to.
    • ExpLibSize - The expected library size for that cell.
    • Step (paths only) - How far along the path each cell is.
  • Gene information (rowData)
    • Gene - Unique gene identifier.
    • BaseGeneMean - The base expression level for that gene.
    • OutlierFactor - Expression outlier factor for that gene (1 is not an outlier).
    • GeneMean - Expression level after applying outlier factors.
    • DEFac[Group] - The differential expression factor for each gene in a particular group (1 is not differentially expressed).
    • GeneMean[Group] - Expression level of a gene in a particular group after applying differential expression factors.
  • Gene by cell information (assays)
    • BaseCellMeans - The expression of genes in each cell adjusted for expected library size.
    • BCV - The Biological Coefficient of Variation for each gene in each cell.
    • CellMeans - The expression level of genes in each cell adjusted for BCV.
    • TrueCounts - The simulated counts before dropout.
    • Dropout - Logical matrix showing which counts have been dropped in which cells

In fact, it corresponds to the relevant parameters designed in the splatparames object mentioned above.

4 - two modes of simulation

In addition to the above single type cells, the splatSimulate function can also be used to generate multiple single cell clusters or trajectory data:

which simulation method to use. Options are "single" which produces a single population, "groups" which produces distinct groups (eg. cell types), or "paths" which selects cells from continuous trajectories (eg. differentiation processes).

4.1-cluster

Similar to the batchCells parameter (the number of batches cannot be specified directly), it can be used to control the number of batches and the size of each batch. group.prob can also be used to control the proportion and number of groups:

# group
sim.groups <- splatSimulate(group.prob = c(0.5, 0.5), method = "groups",
                            verbose = FALSE, batchCells = rep(1000,2))
sim.groups <- logNormCounts(sim.groups)
sim.groups <- runPCA(sim.groups)
visualiseSce(sim.groups,
             dimNames = "PCA",
             colour_by = "Group", shape_by = "Batch")
copy

4.2-path(trajectory)

Modify the corresponding method parameter to the paths mode:

# path
sim.paths <- splatSimulate(de.prob = 0.2, nGenes = 1000, method = "paths",
                           verbose = FALSE, batchCells = rep(200,2))
sim.paths <- logNormCounts(sim.paths)
sim.paths <- runPCA(sim.paths)
tmp.list$sim.paths.df <- colData(sim.paths)
tmp.list$sim.paths.df <- cbind(tmp.list$sim.paths.df, 
                               reducedDim(sim.paths, "PCA")[,1:2])
tmp.list$sim.paths.df <- as.data.frame(tmp.list$sim.paths.df)
ggplot(tmp.list$sim.paths.df) + 
  geom_point(
    aes(PC1, PC2, color = Step, shape = Batch)
  ) + viridis::scale_colour_viridis()
copy

5 - other simulations

batch

In fact, in the above data, I have specified the batch through batchCells.

Because the difference between the group 1 and the group 2 is obviously larger than that in the group 2, it can also be seen that there is a significant difference between the group 1 and the real pca

In fact, splat method is also a suite:

Each of the Splatter simulation methods has it's own convenience function. To simulate a single population use splatSimulateSingle() (equivalent to splatSimulate(method = "single")), to simulate groups use splatSimulateGroups() (equivalent to splatSimulate(method = "groups")) or to simulate paths use splatSimulatePaths() (equivalent to splatSimulate(method = "paths")).

6 - comparison with real data sets

Respective comparison

splat provides a way to observe individual single-cell data sets.

The compareSCEs function accepts list objects:

set.seed(1)
sce <- mockSCE(ncells = 200, ngenes = 2000, nspikes = 100)
params <- splatEstimate(sce)
sim1 <- splatSimulate(params, nGenes = 2000)
sim2 <-splatSimulate(nGenes = 2000)
sim3 <- simpleSimulate(nGenes = 2000, verbose = FALSE)
comparison <- compareSCEs(list(sce = sce, sim1 = sim1,
                               sim2 = sim2, sim3 = sim3))
copy

For example, I compare here:

  • Simulation data generated by mockSCE;
  • Estimate the data generated by splat through the parameters of mockSCE simulation results;
  • splat data created in two modes.

Detailed statistics of each datasets gene and cell information. And a variety of drawing results:

[1] "Means"        "Variances"    "MeanVar"      "LibrarySizes"

It's very good-looking, wooden and exquisite. Use notched box plot:

More than one

Use the function diffSCEs. Here, the dimensions of the dataset need to be the same, so reconfigure.

And the length of this ref is required to be one, so it is more than one.

Error in diffSCEs(list(sce = sce, sim1 = sim1, sim2 = sim2, sim3 = sim3), : Assertion on 'ref' failed: Must have length 1.

# compare some to ref
set.seed(1)
sce <- mockSCE(ncells = 200, ngenes = 2000, nspikes = 100)
params <- splatEstimate(sce)
sim1 <- splatSimulate(params)
sim2 <-splatSimulate(nGenes = 2000, batchCells = 200)
sim3 <- simpleSimulate(nGenes = 2000, nCells = 200, verbose = FALSE)

difference <- diffSCEs(list(sce = sce, sim1 = sim1,
              sim2 = sim2, sim3 = sim3), ref = "sce")
copy

We can compare it with ref:

Other contents

For example, add tpm and fpkm data. For sce objects, you can directly use the method of scater package:

sim <- simpleSimulate(verbose = FALSE)
sim <- addGeneLengths(sim)
head(rowData(sim))

If you feel that some contents of the sce object created by splat do not need to be used, you can delete some metadata or asset to compress the object size:

rowData(sce), colData(sce) and metadata(sce) are deleted by default.

splat also provides functions for assembling the drawing contents in the comparison results:

p1 <- makeCompPanel(comparison)
copy

y1s1, it's ugly. I won't show it.

ps: however, there seems to be a bug in the many to one diagram:

makeCompPanel(difference):Error in makeCompPanel(difference) : Assertion on 'comp' failed: Must have length 3, but has length 5.
copy

Personally, I think the splat suite is quite worth playing with. Let's see if we can personalize the batch magnitude of each sce or the var size between group s.
