Package 'cytoKernel'

Title: Differential expression using kernel-based score test
Description: cytoKernel implements a kernel-based score test to identify differentially expressed features in high-dimensional biological experiments. This approach can be applied across many different high-dimensional biological data including gene expression data and dimensionally reduced cytometry-based marker expression data. In this R package, we implement functions that compute the feature-wise p values and their corresponding adjusted p values. Additionally, it also computes the feature-wise shrunk effect sizes and their corresponding shrunken effect size. Further, it calculates the percent of differentially expressed features and plots user-friendly heatmap of the top differentially expressed features on the rows and samples on the columns.

Example of processed dimensionally reduced flow cytometry (marker median intensities) Bodenmiller_BCR_XL_flowSet() expression dataset from HDCytoData Bioconductor data package.

Description

The raw data (fcs files) were pre-processed using CATALYST, scuttle, scran Bioconductor packages and igraph CRAN package. The data processing package includes 4 steps and they are as follows: 1. Creating a SingleCellExperiment Object: the flowSet data object along with the metadata are converted into a SingleCellExperiment object using the CATALYST R/Bioconductor package. 2. Clustering: We apply Louvain algorithm using the R package igraph to cluster the expression values by the type markers (surface markers). 3. Median: Medians are calculated within a cluster for every signaling marker and subject. 4. Aggregating and converting the data: We convert the aggregated data into a SummarizedExperiment. The row meta-data indicates "cluster" corresponding to the cluster id for each protein marker. The colData represents the "sample_id", "condition", "patient_id", "ids" The remaining columns indicate median expression intensities for each of the 126 (14 markers * 9 clusters) cluster combination for each sample.

Usage

data(cytoHDBMW)

Format

SummarizedExperiment assay object containing 126 cluster-marker median expression intenities (features) of 8 subjects (samples).

Details

The HDCytoData package is an extensible resource containing a set of publicly available high-dimensional flow cytometry and mass cytometry (CyTOF) benchmark datasets hosted on Bioconductor’s ExperimentHub platform.

CytoK

Description

This function applies a kernel-based score test for identifying differentially expressed features in high-throughput experiments, called the the CytoK procedure. This function also defines the CytoK class and constructor.

Usage

CytoK(
  object,
  group_factor,
  lowerRho = 2,
  upperRho = 12,
  gridRho = 4,
  alpha = 0.05,
  featureVars = NULL
)

Arguments

object

an object which is a matrix or data.frame with features (e.g. cluster-marker combinations or genes) on the rows and samples as the columns. Alternatively, a user can provide a SummarizedExperiment object and the assay(object) will be used as input for the CytoK procedure.

group_factor

a group level binary categorical response associated with each sample or column in the object. The order of the group_factor must match the order of the columns in object.

lowerRho

(Optional) lower bound of the kernel parameter.

upperRho

(Optional) upper bound of the kernel parameter.

gridRho

(Optional) number of grid points in the interval [lowerRho, upperRho].

alpha

(Optional) level of significance to control the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Default is 0.05.

featureVars

(Optional) Vector of the columns which identify features. If a 'SummarizedExperiment' is used for 'data', row variables will be used.

Details

CytoK (Kernel-based score test in biological feature differential analysis) is a nonlinear approach, which identifies differentially expressed features in high-dimensional biological experiments. This approach can be applied across many different high-dimensional biological data including Flow/Mass Cytometry data and other variety of gene expression data. The CytoK procedure employs a kernel-based score test to identify differentially expressed features. This procedure can be easily applied to a variety of measurement types since it uses a Gaussian distance based kernel.

This function computes the feature-wise p values and their corresponding adjusted p values. Additionally, it also computes the feature-wise shrunk effect sizes and their corresponding shrunk effect size sd's. Further, it calculates the percent of differentially expressed features. See the vignette for more details.

Value

A object of the class CytoK that contains a data.frame of the CytoK features in the CytoKFeatures slot, a data.frame of the CytoK features in the CytoKFeaturesOrdered slot ordered by adjusted p values from low to high, a numeric value of the CytoK differentially expressed features CytoKDEfeatures slot, a data.frame or SummarizedExperiment original data objject in the CytoKData slot, a numeric value of the level of significance in the CytoKalpha slot and (optional) a vector of the columns which identify features in the CytoKfeatureVars slot.
