DatabaseImmuneCellExpressionData {SingleR} | R Documentation |
Download and cache the normalized expression values of 1561 bulk RNA-seq samples of sorted cell populations from the Database of Immune Cell Expression (DICE).
DatabaseImmuneCellExpressionData(ensembl = FALSE)
ensembl |
Logical scalar indicating whether to convert row names to Ensembl IDs. Genes without a mapping to a non-duplicated Ensembl ID are discarded. |
This function provides normalized expression values of 1561 bulk RNA-seq samples generated by DICE from pure populations of human immune cells.
TPM normalized values for each cell type were downloaded from https://dice-database.org/downloads. Genes with no reads across samples were removed, and values were log2 normalized after a pseudocount of 1 was added.
The dataset contains 1561 human RNA-seq samples annotated to 5 main cell types:
B cells
Monocytes
NK cells
T cells, CD8+
T cells, CD4+
Samples were additionally annotated to 15 fine cell types:
B cells, naive
Monocytes, CD14+
Monocytes, CD16+
NK cells
T cells, memory TREG
T cells, CD4+, naive
T cells, CD4+, naive, stimulated
T cells, CD4+, naive Treg
T cells, CD4+, Th1
T cells, CD4+, Th1_17
T cells, CD4+, Th2
T cells, CD8+, naïve
T cells, CD8+, naïve, stimulated
T cells, CD4+, TFH
T cells, CD4+, Th17
