1 Introduction

scReClassify is a post hoc cell type classification of single-cell RNA-sequencing data to fine-tune cell type annotations generated by any cell type classification procedure. Typically, cell type identification relies on human inspection using combination of prior biological knowledge and computational techniques. Due to incompleteness of our current knowledge and the subjectivity involved in this process, a small amount of cells may be subject to mislabelling. Using semi-supervised learning algorithm, adaSampling, we are able to correct cell type annotations from various degree of noise.

Overview of scReClassify methods

2 Installation

Install the latest development version from GitHub using the devtools package:

if (!("devtools" %in% rownames(installed.packages())))
    install.packages("devtools")

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("SydneyBioX/scReClassify")

To install the Bioconductor version of scReClassify, enter the following to your R console.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("scReClassify")

gse87795_subset_sce is a SingleCellExperiment object of a mouse fetal liver development data deposited at Gene Expression Omnibus respository with accession ID GSE87795. The cell type information can be found on the colData of the SingleCellExperiment object.

There are 6 cell types, 367 cells and 1000 number of genes.

4 Part A. scReClassify (Demonstration with synthetic mislabels)

4.1 Dimension reduction

Prior to running scReClassify, we perform dimension reduction. matPCs is a tool in scReClassify to simplify this process. In this function, a dimension reduced matrix is returned with n principal components (PCs), where n is the number of principal components (PCs) that by sum explains at least 70% variance.

The function accepts either a matrix or a SingleCellExperiment object. If the data parameter is a SingleCellExperiment object, an assay variable must be specified to perform dimension reduction on the correct assay. If the SingleCellExperiment object data already has a ‘PCA’ in reducedDimNames(), the ‘PCA’ matrix of n columns are returned.

reducedDim(dat, "matPCs") <- matPCs(dat, assay = "logNorm", 0.7)

4.2 Synthetic noise (Demonstration purpose)

Here in this example, we will synthetically generate varying degree of noise (10-50%) in sample labels. The purpose here is to simulate different level of mislabeling in the data. Given a cell type label cls.truth, noisyCls function will randomly select a rho percentage of cells from a given cell type and relabel to other cell types.

Here, we create different degree of noise from 10% to 50%.

lab <- cellTypes

set.seed(1)
# Function to create noise in the cell type label
noisyCls <- function(dat, rho, cls.truth){
    cls.noisy <- cls.truth
    names(cls.noisy) <- colnames(dat)
    
    for(i in seq_len(length(table(cls.noisy)))) {
        # class label starts from 0
        if (i != length(table(cls.noisy))) {
            cls.noisy[sample(which(cls.truth == names(table(cls.noisy))[i]), 
                            floor(sum(cls.truth == names(table(cls.noisy))[i])*
                            rho))] <- names(table(cls.noisy))[i+1]
        } else {
            cls.noisy[sample(which(cls.truth == names(table(cls.noisy))[i]), 
                            floor(sum(cls.truth == names(table(cls.noisy))[i])*
                            rho))] <- names(table(cls.noisy))[1]
        }
    }
  
    print(sum(cls.truth != cls.noisy))
    return(cls.noisy)
}

cls.noisy01 <- noisyCls(t(reducedDim(dat, "matPCs")), rho=0.1, lab)
## [1] 34
cls.noisy02 <- noisyCls(t(reducedDim(dat, "matPCs")), rho=0.2, lab)
## [1] 71
cls.noisy03 <- noisyCls(t(reducedDim(dat, "matPCs")), rho=0.3, lab)

4.3 Use scReClassify to correct mislabeled cell types.

Here in this example, we will only use Support Vector machine (svm) as base classifier.

4.3.0.1 Benchmark evaluation

To benchmark scReClassify, we perform scReclassify to all degree of noise with 10 repeats. We measure the accuracy of scReClassify and the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) to measure the concordance of the reclassified cell type to the true cell type label.

result = do.call(rbind, result)
acc = result[,seq_len(5)]
colnames(acc) = seq(from=0.1,to=0.5,by=0.1)

ari = result[,seq(from= 6, to = 10)]
colnames(ari) = seq(from=0.1,to=0.5,by=0.1)

We can visualise the performance of the scReClassify. The boxes represent the accuracy and the ARI after scReClassify. The red markers indicate the baseline (prior to scReClassify).
