Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies allow gene expression
quantification at the level of individual cells, and these studies introduce
multiple layers of biological complexity. These include variations in gene
expression between cell states within a sample
(e.g., T cells versus macrophages), between samples within a population
(e.g., biological or technical replicates), and between populations
(e.g., healthy versus diseased individuals).
Because many early scRNA-seq studies involved analysis of only a single sample,
many bioinformatics tools operate on the first layer, comparing gene expression
between cells within a sample.
This software is aimed at organizing scRNA-seq data to permit analysis in the
latter two layers, comparing gene expression between samples and between
populations. An example is given with an implementation of differential
gene expression analysis between populations. From scRNA-seq data stored as a
SingleCellExperiment (Lun and Risso, 2020) object
with pre-defined cell states, aggregateBioVar() stratifies data as a list of
SummarizedExperiment (Morgan et al., 2020) objects,
a standard Bioconductor data structure for
downstream analysis of RNA-seq data.
2 Case Study: Small Airway Epithelium in Cystic Fibrosis
To illustrate the utility of biological replication for scRNA-seq
sequencing experiments, consider a set of single cell data from
porcine small airway epithelium. In this study, small airway (< 2 mm) tissue
samples were collected from newborn pigs (Sus scrofa) to
investigate gene expression patterns and cellular composition in a cystic
fibrosis phenotype. Single cell sequencing samples were prepared using a 10X
Genomics Chromium controller and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq4000. Data
obtained from seven individuals include both non-CF
(CFTR+/+; genotype WT; n=4) and CFTR-knockout subjects expressing a
cystic fibrosis phenotype (CFTR-/-; genotype CFTRKO; n=3).
Cell types were determined following a standard scRNA-seq pipeline using
Seurat (Stuart et al., 2019), including cell count
normalization, scaling, determination of highly variable genes,
dimension reduction via principal components analysis, and shared
nearest neighbor clustering. Both unsupervised marker detection
(via Seurat::FindMarkers()) and a list of known marker genes were used to
annotate cell types. The full data set has been uploaded to the
Gene Expression Omnibus
as accession number GSE150211.
2.1 The small_airway Dataset
A subset of 1339 genes from 2722 cells
assigned as secretory, endothelial, and immune cell types are available in the
small_airway data set.
The data are formatted as a SingleCellExperiment class S4 object
(Amezquita et al., 2020), an extension of the
RangedSummarizedExperiment class from the SummarizedExperiment package.

slot. Here, a single assay counts contains gene counts from the single cell
sequencing data. Each column of the assay count matrix represents a cell and
each row a feature (e.g., gene).
Assay slot data can be obtained by SummarizedExperiment::assay(), indicating
theSingleCellExperiment object and name of the assay slot (here, "counts").
In the special case of the assay being named "counts", the data can be
accessed with SingleCellExperiment::counts().

SingleCellExperiment objects may also include column metadata with
additional information annotating individual cells.
Here, the metadata variable orig.ident identifies the biological sample of the
cell while celltype indicates the assigned cellular identity.
Of the 7 individual
subjects, 3 are CF (SCF1, SCF2, SCF3) and 4 are non-CF (SWT1, SWT2, SWT3, SWT4).
Genotype indicates the sample genotype, one of WT or CFTRKO for non-CF and
CF subjects, respectively.
Column metadata from SingleCellExperiment objects can be accessed with the $
operator, where the length of a metadata column variable is equal to the number
of columns (i.e., cells) in the feature count matrix from the assays slot.

To access the full column metadata from SingleCellExperiment objects, use
colData() from the SummarizedExperiment package.
Here, metadata include
6 variables for each of
2722 cells.
In addition to the biological sample identifier, cell type, and genotype,
metadata include total unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) and
number of detected features.

The main functionality of this package involves two generalizable operations:
- Aggregate within-subject gene counts
- Summarize metadata to retain inter-subject variation
A wrapper function aggregateBioVar() abstracts away these operations
and applies them on a by-cell type basis. For input, a SingleCellExperiment
object containing gene counts should contain metadata variables for the
subject by which to aggregate cells (e.g., biological sample) and the assigned
cell types.
2.3.1 Gene-by-subject Count Matrix
The first operation involves summing all gene counts by subject. For each gene, counts from all cells within each subject are combined. A gene-by-cell count matrix is converted into a gene-by-subject count matrix.

#> UNC80 0 0 0 0 0 0 02.3.2 Subject Metadata
The second operation removes metadata variables with intrasubject variation. This effectively retains inter-subject metadata and eliminates variables with intrasubject (i.e., intercellular) variation (e.g., feature or gene counts by cell). This summarized metadata is used for modeling a differential expression design matrix.
subjectMetaData(scExp = small_airway, subjectVar = "orig.ident")
#> DataFrame with 7 rows and 3 columns

#> SCF1 SCF1 CFTRKO Small
#> SCF2 SCF2 CFTRKO Small
#> SWT4 SWT4 WT Small
#> SCF3 SCF3 CFTRKO Small2.3.3 Return SummarizedExperiment
Both the gene count aggregation and metadata collation steps are combined in
summarizedCounts(). This function returns a SummarizedExperiment object with
the gene-by-subject count matrix in the assays slot, and the summarized
inter-subject metadata as colData. Notice the column names now correspond
to the subject level, replacing the cellular barcodes in the
SingleCellExperiment following aggregation of gene counts from
within-subject cells.
summarizedCounts(scExp = small_airway, subjectVar = "orig.ident")
#> class: SummarizedExperiment
#> dim: 1339 7
#> metadata(0):
#> assays(1): counts
#> rownames(1339): MPC1 PRKN ... OTOP1 UNC80
#> rowData names(0):
#> colnames(7): SWT1 SWT2 ... SWT4 SCF3
#> colData names(3): orig.ident Genotype Region2.4 aggregateBioVar()
These operations are applied to each cell type subset with aggregateBioVar().
The full SingleCellExperiment object is subset by cell type (e.g.,
secretory, endothelial, and immune cell), the gene-by-subject aggregate count
matrix and collated metadata are tabulated, and a SummarizedExperiment
object for that cell type is constructed. A list of SummarizedExperiment
objects output by summarizedCounts() is the returned to the user. The first
element contains the aggregate SummarizedExperiment across all cells, and
subsequent list elements correspond to the cell type indicated by the metadata
variable cellVar:

subjectVar = "orig.ident", cellVar = "celltype")

In this case, we want to test for differential
expression between non-CF and CF pigs in the Secretory cell subset.
To do so, aggregateBioVar() is run on the SingleCellExperiment object
by indicated the metadata variables representing the subject-level
(subjectVar) and assigned cell type (cellVar).
If multiple assays are included in the input scExp object,
the first assay slot is used.
# Perform aggregation of counts and metadata by subject and cell type.
aggregate_counts <-
aggregateBioVar(
scExp = small_airway,
subjectVar = "orig.ident", cellVar = "celltype"
)
#> Coercing metadata variable to character: celltype3.1 Exploratory Data Analysis
To visualize the gene-by-subject count aggregation, consider a function to
calculate log2 counts per million cells and display a heatmap
of normalized expression using pheatmap (Kolde, 2019).
RColorBrewer (Neuwirth, 2014) and viridis (Garnier, 2018) are used to
generate discrete and continuous color scales, respectively.
#' Single-cell Counts `pheatmap`
#'
#' @param sumExp `SummarizedExperiment` or `SingleCellExperiment` object
#' with individual cell or aggregate counts by-subject.
#' @param logSample Subset of log2 values to include for clustering.
#' @param ... Forwarding arguments to pheatmap
#' @inheritParams aggregateBioVar
#'
scPHeatmap <- function(sumExp, subjectVar, gtVar, logSample = 1:100, ...) {
orderSumExp <- sumExp[, order(sumExp[[subjectVar]])]
sumExpCounts <- as.matrix(
SummarizedExperiment::assay(orderSumExp, "counts")
)
logcpm <- log2(
1e6*t(t(sumExpCounts) / colSums(sumExpCounts)) + 1
)
annotations <- data.frame(
Genotype = orderSumExp[[gtVar]],
Subject = orderSumExp[[subjectVar]]
)
rownames(annotations) <- colnames(orderSumExp)
singleCellpHeatmap <- pheatmap::pheatmap(
mat = logcpm[logSample, ], annotation_col = annotations,
cluster_cols = FALSE, show_rownames = FALSE, show_colnames = FALSE,
scale = "none", ...
)
return(singleCellpHeatmap)
}
Without aggregation, bulk RNA-seq methods for differential expression analysis would be applied at the cell level (here, secretory cells; Figure 1).
# Subset `SingleCellExperiment` secretory cells.
sumExp <- small_airway[, small_airway$celltype == "Secretory cell"]

# Heatmap of log2 expression across all cells.

3.2 DGE with DESeq2
To run DESeq2 (Love et al., 2014), a DESeqDataSet object can be
constructed using DESeqDataSetFromMatrix().
Here, the aggregate counts and subject metadata from the secretory cell subset
are modeled by the variable Genotype.
Differential expression analysis is performed with DESeq and a results table
is extracted by results() to obtain log2 fold changes with p-values and
adjusted p-values.
subj_dds_dataset <-
DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(
countData = assay(aggregate_counts$`Secretory cell`, "counts"),
colData = colData(aggregate_counts$`Secretory cell`),
design = ~ Genotype
)
#> converting counts to integer mode
#> Warning in DESeqDataSet(se, design = design, ignoreRank): some variables in
#> design formula are characters, converting to factors
subj_dds <- DESeq(subj_dds_dataset)
#> estimating size factors
#> estimating dispersions
#> gene-wise dispersion estimates
#> mean-dispersion relationship
#> final dispersion estimates
#> fitting model and testing
subj_dds_results <-
results(subj_dds, contrast = c("Genotype", "WT", "CFTRKO"))For comparison of differential expression with and without aggregation of
gene-by-subject counts, a subset of all secretory cells is used to construct
a DESeqDataSet and analysis of differential expression is repeated.
cells_secretory <-
small_airway[, which(
as.character(small_airway$celltype) == "Secretory cell")]
cells_secretory$Genotype <- as.factor(cells_secretory$Genotype)
cell_dds_dataset <-
DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(
countData = assay(cells_secretory, "counts"),
colData = colData(cells_secretory),
design = ~ Genotype

DGE is summarized by volcano plot ggplot (Wickham, Chang, et al., 2020) to show cell-level
(Figure 3A)
and subject-level tests (Figure 3B).
Aggregation of gene counts by subject reduced the number of genes with both
an adjusted p-value < 0.05 and an absolute log2 fold change > 1 from
65 genes to 2 (Figure 3).

Comparison of differential expression in secretory cells from small airway epithelium without aggregation (A) and after aggregation of gene counts by subject (biological replicates; B). Genes with an absolute log2 fold change greater than 1 and an adjusted P value less than 0.05 are highlighted in red. Aggregation of counts by subject reduced the number of differentially expressed genes to CD36 and CFTR for the secretory cell subset.
