答读者问 （四）：如何分析细胞亚群

往期回顾：

问：

答：

首先，你需要对单细胞测序的数据基础分析有一定的理解，我们的教程也更了好几期了，你需要掌握下面的内容后再进行后续学习：

在完成了上述内容的学习之后，我们再来看一看分析亚群时的具体操作：

亚群分析

先看一下数据结构

将Endothelial cells单独取出分析

End <- subset(pbmc,idents = 'Endothelial cells')
End <- FindNeighbors(End, dims = 1:10)#需要重新计算一下临近关系
## Computing nearest neighbor graph
## Computing SNN
End <- FindClusters(End,resolution = 0.1)
## Modularity Optimizer version 1.3.0 by Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan van Eck
## 
## Number of nodes: 14442
## Number of edges: 376656
## 
## Running Louvain algorithm...
## Maximum modularity in 10 random starts: 0.9419
## Number of communities: 3
## Elapsed time: 1 seconds
p1 <- DimPlot(End)
p1

###看一下各亚群的独有标记基因#####
End.markers <- FindAllMarkers(End, only.pos = TRUE, min.pct = 0.25, logfc.threshold = 0.25) 
## Calculating cluster 0
## Calculating cluster 1
## Calculating cluster 2
#寻找每一个分类群与其他所有细胞之间的标记基因，并只显示positive结果
library(dplyr)
## Warning: package 'dplyr' was built under R version 4.0.5

top5gene <- End.markers %>% group_by(cluster) %>% top_n(n = 5, wt = avg_log2FC) 
head(top5gene)

VlnPlot(End,features = top5gene$gene,pt.size = 0)

原位分离亚群

names(pbmc@graphs)#graph.name的选择在这里找
## [1] "RNA_nn"  "RNA_snn"
pbmc<- FindSubCluster(pbmc,cluster = 'Endothelial cells',graph.name = "RNA_nn",subcluster.name = 'ENC.Sub',resolution = 0.5)
## Modularity Optimizer version 1.3.0 by Ludo Waltman and Nees Jan van Eck
## 
## Number of nodes: 14442
## Number of edges: 133462
## 
## Running Louvain algorithm...
## Maximum modularity in 10 random starts: 0.8203
## Number of communities: 17
## Elapsed time: 0 seconds
## 9 singletons identified. 8 final clusters.
Idents(pbmc) <- 'ENC.Sub'
p2<-DimPlot(pbmc)
p2#Endothelial cells确实被分出了一些亚群

最后看一下分亚群之前、以及两种亚群提取方式的效果

library(patchwork)
p0|p1|p2
