Barcode Statistical Test

Description

Carries out a specific instance of statistical testing relevant to clonal tracking experiments. For longitudinal observations (of barcode abundances) in the provided SE object, use a Chi-squared or Fisher exact test whether each barcode proportion has changed between samples.
Each column in the provided SE will be "tested" against the reference sample. If the 'stat_option' argument is set to its default of "subsequent" then each sample will be compared to the sample before it. If this argument is set to "reference" the reference sample column name must be provided and each column will be tested against that reference sample.

Usage

barcode_stat_test(
  your_SE,
  sample_size,
  stat_test = "chi-squared",
  stat_option = "subsequent",
  reference_sample = NULL,
  p_adjust = "none",
  bc_threshold = 0
)

Arguments

your_SE

A Summarized Experiment object containing clonal tracking data as created by the barcodetrackR 'create_SE' function.

sample_size

A numeric vector providing the sample size of each column of the SummarizedExperiment passed to the function. This sample size describes the samples that the barcoding data is meant to approximate, for example the number of cells barcodes were extracted from.

stat_test

The statistical test to use on the constructed contingency table for each barcode. Options are "chi-squared" and "fisher."
For information, see [chisq.test](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/stats/versions/3.6.2/topics/chisq.test) [fisher.test](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/stats/versions/3.6.2/topics/fisher.test)

stat_option

For "subsequent" statistical testing is performed on each column of data compared to the column before it. For "reference," all other columns of data are compared to a reference column specified in the 'reference_sample' arguument.

reference_sample

Provide the column name of the reference column if stat_option is set to "reference." Defaults to the first column in the SummarizedExperiment.

p_adjust

Character, default = "none". To correct p-values for muiltiple comparisons, set to any of the p value adjustment methods in the p.adjust function in R stats, which includes "holm", "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", and "fdr".

bc_threshold

Clones must be above this proportion in at least one sample to be included in statistical testing. Default is 0. Use this to ignore low-abundance clones which are more likely to be noise or artifact.

Value

Returns a list of 3 dataframes containing the following information for each observation (or barcode) which passed the provided bc_threshold:
[["FC"]], Fold Change of barcode abundance for each sample relative to the previous sample or to the specified reference sample. Please note that for maximal user control over results, the FC dataframe will contain 0 for barcodes where the test sample has an abundance of 0, Inf for barcodes where the reference sample had an abundance of 0 and NaN for a barcode where both the test and reference sample have an abundance of 0;
[["log_FC"]], same as previous but the log Fold Change. Please note that again for maximal user control, the log_FC dataframe will contain NaN values when the FC was Nan, -Inf values when the FC was 0, and Inf values when the FC was Inf;
[["p_val"]], the p-value returned from either the Chi-squared or Fisher exact test indicating whether each barcode changed in proportion between the test sample and the reference sample. Please note that the p value will be NaN if both abundances are 0, otherwise a p-value will be assigned.
Also, note that one column of each resulting dataframe will contain all NAs - in the case where the 'stat_option' argument is set to "subsequent" then this will be the first sample since there is no subsequent sample to compare to. In the case where the 'stat_option' argument is set to "reference" then the reference sample will contain NAs.

Examples

data(wu_subset)
barcode_stat_test(
    your_SE = wu_subset[, 1:4], sample_size = rep(5000, 4),
    stat_test = "chi-squared", stat_option = "subsequent",
    bc_threshold = 0.0001
)

Estimate Barcode Threshold

Description

Estimates an appropriate minimum abundance threshold for reliably detected barcodes in a clonal tracking dataset.

For a specified capture efficiency C, the minimum clone size N that we can expect to detect with confidence level P is calculated from:
'P = 1 - (1 - C)^(N)'

The proportional abundance of a clonal tag of size N is
'N / (T * F)'
where T is the total population size of cells or genomes and F is the frequency or proportion of the total population which is labeled or genetically modified with the clonal tag.

The population size and proportion labeled must be determined experimentally. The capture efficiency should be estimated for a given clonal tracking technique by simulating the barcode retrieval process in silico and finding the capture efficiency which leads to a total # of detected barcodes matching the experimentally determined number. Adair et al '(PMID: 32355868)' performed this analysis for viral integration site analysis and DNA barcode sequencing and determined good estimates for the capture efficiencies of these two technologies to be 0.05 and 0.4 respectively.

Usage

estimate_barcode_threshold(
  capture_efficiency = NULL,
  population_size,
  proportion_labeled,
  confidence_level = 0.95,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

capture_efficiency

Numeric. The capture efficiency of the clonal tracking method to detect a given clone. Must be between 0 and 1. See the description for details on how to estimate this value for a given experiment.

population_size

Numeric. The total number of cells/genomes within each sample analyzed in the clonal tracking study. This is an experimentally determined value.

proportion_labeled

Numeric. The proportion of the 'population_size' which is genetically modified or contains a clonal tracking index. This is an experimentally determined value.

confidence_level

Numeric. The confidence level for estimatig the minimum abundance threshold. Must be between 0 and 1. Default is 0.95 for 95 percent confidence that a clone with proportion 'relative_threshold' will be detected. Increasing this parameter closer to one will result in a more stringent abundance threshold and decreasing this parameter will result in a more permissive abundance threshold.

verbose

Logical. Whether to print the calculated threshold.

Value

Returns a single numeric 'relative_threshold' describing the proportional abundance above which clones can be considered reliable given the provided capture efficiency and labeled population size. Pass this value into the function 'threshold_SE' to threshold an existing SummarizedExperiment object or the function 'create_SE' to threshold a SummarizedExperiment object upon creation from dataframes of counts and metadata.

Examples

estimate_barcode_threshold(
    capture_efficiency = 0.4,
    population_size = 500000,
    proportion_labeled = 0.3,
    confidence_level = 0.95,

Note: If comparing the visualization to the statistical testing results from 'rank_abundance_stat_test' function in barcodetrackR, please set the 'scale_rank' to TRUE. The K-S test is agnostic to number of samples so it is directly comparable to the visualization produced when the barcode ranks are scaled between 0 and 1.

Value

Displays a rank-abundance plot (made by ggplot2) of the samples chosen.
Each point represents a single barcode with the x-value describing its rank in abundance with 1 being the most abundant barcode

If the return_table is set to TRUE, instead of a plot, a datframe with the rank abundance data will be returned.

Description

Carries out a specific instance of statistical testing relevant to clonal tracking experiments. For the provided SummarizedExperiment, compare the rank-abundance distribution which is described by the increase in cumulative abundance within that sample as barcode abundances are added, starting with the most abundant barcode. The two-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test is carried out comparing each pair of samples using the R function ks.test:https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/dgof/versions/1.2/topics/ks.test Note that this test compares rank-abundance distribution regardless of whether the samples share the same barcodes or lineage tracing elements. The test could be employed on two samples with no barcode sequence overlap, simply to compare whether the rank abundance distribution of barcodes is drawn from the same distribution.
