Package 'DESpace' reference manual

Title:	DESpace: a framework to discover spatially variable genes
Description:	Intuitive framework for identifying spatially variable genes (SVGs) via edgeR, a popular method for performing differential expression analyses. Based on pre-annotated spatial clusters as summarized spatial information, DESpace models gene expression using a negative binomial (NB), via edgeR, with spatial clusters as covariates. SVGs are then identified by testing the significance of spatial clusters. The method is flexible and robust, and is faster than the most SV methods. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, it is the only SV approach that allows: - performing a SV test on each individual spatial cluster, hence identifying the key regions of the tissue affected by spatial variability; - jointly fitting multiple samples, targeting genes with consistent spatial patterns across replicates.

DESpace_test

Description

'DESpace_test' identifies spatially variable genes (SVGs) from spatially-resolved transcriptomics data, provided spatial clusters are available.

Usage

DESpace_test(
  spe,
  spatial_cluster,
  sample_col = NULL,
  replicates = FALSE,
  min_counts = 20,
  min_non_zero_spots = 10,
  filter_gene = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)
DESpace_test(
  spe,
  spatial_cluster,
  sample_col = NULL,
  replicates = FALSE,
  min_counts = 20,
  min_non_zero_spots = 10,
  filter_gene = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

`spe`	SpatialExperiment or SingleCellExperiment.
`spatial_cluster`	Column name of spatial clusters in `colData(spe)`.
`sample_col`	Column name of sample ids in `colData(spe)`.
`replicates`	A logical, indicating whether biological replicates are provided (TRUE) or not (FALSE). If biological replicates are provided, `DESpace_test` performs a joint test across all replicates, searching for SVGs with consistent spatial patterns across samples.
`min_counts`	Minimum number of counts per sample (across all spots) for a gene to be analyzed.
`min_non_zero_spots`	Minimum number of non-zero spots per sample, for a gene to be analyzed.
`filter_gene`	A logical. If TRUE, `DESpace_test` filters genes: genes have to be expressed in at least 'min_non_zero_spots' spots, and a gene requires at least 'min counts' counts per sample (across all locations).
`verbose`	A logical. If TRUE, `DESpace_test` returns two more results: 'DGEGLM' and 'DGELRT' objects contain full statistics from 'edgeR::glmFit' and 'edgeR::glmLRT'.

Details

If 'sample_col' is not specified and 'replicates == FALSE', DESpace_test assumed that data comes from an individual sample, and performs SV testing on it.

If 'sample_col' is provided and 'replicates == FALSE', DESpace_test tests each sample individually and returns a list of results for each sample.

If 'sample_col' is provided and 'replicates == TRUE', DESpace_test performs a joint multi-sample test.

Value

A list of results:

- "gene_results": a dataframe contains main edgeR test results;

- "estimated_y": a DGEList object contains the estimated common dispersion, which can later be used to speed-up calculation when testing individual clusters.

- "glmFit" (only if verbose = TRUE): a DGEGLM object contains full statistics from "edgeR::glmFit".

- "glmLRT" (only if verbose = TRUE): a DGELRT object contains full statistics from "edgeR::glmLRT".

Examples

# load the input data:
data("LIBD_subset", package = "DESpace")
LIBD_subset

# Fit the model via \code{\link{DESpace_test}} function.
set.seed(123)
results_DESpace <- DESpace_test(spe = LIBD_subset,
                           spatial_cluster = "layer_guess_reordered",
                           verbose = FALSE)

# DESpace_test returns of a list of 2 objects:
# "gene_results": a dataframe contains main edgeR test results;
# "estimated_y": a DGEList object contains the estimated common dispersion, 
#  which can later be used to speed-up calculation when testing individual clusters.

individual_test

Description

DESpace can also be used to reveal the specific areas of the tissue affected by SVGs; i.e., spatial clusters that are particularly over/under abundant compared to the average signal. This function can be used to identify SVGs for each individual cluster.

Usage

individual_test(
  spe,
  spatial_cluster,
  sample_col = "sample_id",
  edgeR_y = NULL,
  min_counts = 20,
  min_non_zero_spots = 10,
  filter_gene = TRUE,
  replicates = FALSE,
  BPPARAM = NULL
)
individual_test(
  spe,
  spatial_cluster,
  sample_col = "sample_id",
  edgeR_y = NULL,
  min_counts = 20,
  min_non_zero_spots = 10,
  filter_gene = TRUE,
  replicates = FALSE,
  BPPARAM = NULL
)

Arguments

`spe`	SpatialExperiment or SingleCellExperiment.
`spatial_cluster`	Column name of spatial clusters in `colData(spe)`.
`sample_col`	Column name of sample ids in `colData(spe)`.
`edgeR_y`	Pre-estimated dispersion; if it's null, compute dispersion.
`min_counts`	Minimum number of counts per sample (across all spots) for a gene to be analyzed.
`min_non_zero_spots`	Minimum number of non-zero spots per sample, for a gene to be analyzed.
`filter_gene`	A logical. If TRUE, `DESpace_test` filters genes: genes have to be expressed in at least 'min_non_zero_spots' spots, and a gene requires at least 'min counts' counts per sample (across all locations).
`replicates`	Single sample or multi-sample test.
`BPPARAM`	An optional parameter passed internally to bplapply. We suggest using as many cores as the number of spatial clusters. If unspecified, the script does not run in parallel. Note that parallel coding performs better only when dispersion estimations are not provided beforehand. Moreover, parallelizing the script will increase the memory requirement; if memory is an issue, leave 'BPPARAM' unspecified and, hence, avoid parallelization.

Details

For every spatial cluster we test, edgeR would normally re-compute the dispersion estimates based on the specific design of the test. However, this calculation represents the majority of the overall computing time. Therefore, to speed-up calculations, we propose to use the dispersion estimates which were previously computed for the gene-level tests. This introduces a minor approximation which, in our benchmarks, does not lead to decreased accuracy. If you want to use pre-computed gene-level dispersion estimates, set edgeR_y to 'estimated_y'. Alternatively, if you want to re-compute dispersion estimates (significantly slower, but marginally more accurate option), leave edgeR_y empty.

Value

A list of results, with one result per spatial cluster in each element. Specifically, each item in the list is a "gene_results" dataframe which contains main edgeR test results.

top_results

Description

Filter significant results. top_results returns the significant results obtained via DESpace_test and individual_test. It can also be used to merge gene- and cluster-level results into a single object.

Usage

top_results(
  gene_results = NULL,
  cluster_results,
  cluster = NULL,
  select = "both",
  high_low = NULL
)
top_results(
  gene_results = NULL,
  cluster_results,
  cluster = NULL,
  select = "both",
  high_low = NULL
)

Arguments

`gene_results`	Results returned from `DESpace_test`.
`cluster_results`	Results returned from `individual_test`.
`cluster`	A character indicating the cluster(s) whose results have to be returned. Results from all clusters are returned by default ("NULL").
`select`	A character indicating what results should be returned ("FDR", "logFC", or "both"). Only used if "cluster_results" are provided. By default ("both"), both FDR and logFC are returned.
`high_low`	A character indicating whether to filter results or not. Only used if "cluster_results" are provided, and one cluster is specified in "cluster" parameter. By default (NULL), all results are returned in a single data.frame. If "high" or "HIGH", we only return SVGs with average abundace in "cluster" higher than in the rest of the tissue (i.e., logFC > 0). If "low" or "LOW", we only return SVGs with average abundace in "cluster" lower than in the rest of the tissue (i.e., logFC < 0). If "both" or "BOTH", then both "high" and "low" results are returned, but in two separate data.frames.

Value

A data.frame object or a list of data.frame with results.

- When only “cluster_results” is provided, results are reported as a data.frame with columns for gene names (gene_id), spatial clusters affected by SV (Cluster), cluster-specific likelihood ratio test statistics (LR), cluster-specific average (across spots) log-2 counts per million (logCPM), cluster-specific log2-fold changes (logFC), cluster-specific raw p-values (PValue), and Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-values (FDR) for each spatial cluster.

- When “gene_results” and “cluster_results” are given, results are reported as a data.frame that merges gene- and cluster-level results.

- If “cluster” is specified, the function returns a subset data.frame for the given cluster, which contains cluster name, gene name, LR, logCPM, logFC, PValue and FDR, ordered by FDR for the specified cluster.

- If “high_low” is set, the function returns a list of data.frame that contains subsets of results for genes with higher and/or lower expression in the given cluster compared to the rest of the tissue.
