Performing scClassify using pretrained model
26 April 2022
1 Introduction
A common application of single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data is
to identify discrete cell types. To take advantage of the large collection
of well-annotated scRNA-seq datasets, scClassify package implements
a set of methods to perform accurate cell type classification based on
ensemble learning and sample size calculation.
This vignette will provide an example showing how users can use a pretrained
model of scClassify to predict cell types. A pretrained model is a
scClassifyTrainModel object returned by train_scClassify().
A list of pretrained model can be found in
https://sydneybiox.github.io/scClassify/index.html.
First, install scClassify, install BiocManager and use
BiocManager::install to install scClassify package.
# installation of scClassify
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) {
install.packages("BiocManager")
}
BiocManager::install("scClassify")2 Setting up the data
We assume that you have log-transformed (size-factor normalized) matrices as query datasets, where each row refers to a gene and each column a cell. For demonstration purposes, we will take a subset of single-cell pancreas datasets from one independent study (Wang et al.).
library(scClassify)
data("scClassify_example")
wang_cellTypes <- scClassify_example$wang_cellTypes
exprsMat_wang_subset <- scClassify_example$exprsMat_wang_subset
exprsMat_wang_subset <- as(exprsMat_wang_subset, "dgCMatrix")Here, we load our pretrained model using a subset of the Xin et al. human pancreas dataset as our reference data.
First, let us check basic information relating to our pretrained model.
data("trainClassExample_xin")
trainClassExample_xin
#> Class: scClassifyTrainModel
#> Model name: training
#> Feature selection methods: limma
#> Number of cells in the training data: 674
#> Number of cell types in the training data: 4In this pretrained model, we have selected the genes based on Differential Expression using limma. To check the genes that are available in the pretrained model:
features(trainClassExample_xin)
#> [1] "limma"We can also visualise the cell type tree of the reference data.
plotCellTypeTree(cellTypeTree(trainClassExample_xin))
3 Running scClassify
Next, we perform predict_scClassify with our pretrained model
trainRes = trainClassExample to predict the cell types of our
query data matrix exprsMat_wang_subset_sparse. Here,
we used pearson and spearman as similarity metrics.
pred_res <- predict_scClassify(exprsMat_test = exprsMat_wang_subset,
trainRes = trainClassExample_xin,
cellTypes_test = wang_cellTypes,
algorithm = "WKNN",
features = c("limma"),
similarity = c("pearson", "spearman"),
prob_threshold = 0.7,
verbose = TRUE)

For datasets with unknown labels, users can simply leave it
as cellType_test = NULL.
