scCATCH object

Description

create scCATCH object using single-cell count data and cluster information.

Usage

createscCATCH(data, cluster)

Arguments

data	A matrix or dgCMatrix containing normalized single-cell RNA-seq data, each column representing a cell, each row representing a gene. See demo_data.
cluster	A character containing the cluster information for each cell. The length of it must be equal to the ncol of the data.

Value

scCATCH object

Demo data of single-cell RNA-seq data

Description

Demo data of single-cell RNA-seq data

Usage

demo_data()

Details

data used in createscCATCH must be a matrix object, each column representing a cell, each row representing a gene.

Value

A demo data matrix.

Examples

data_demo <- demo_data()

---

Demo data of geneinfo

Description

Demo data of geneinfo

Usage

demo_geneinfo()

Details

geneinfo used in rev_gene must be a data.frame object with three columns, namely 'symbol', 'synonyms', 'species'.

Value

A demo geneinfo data.frame.

Examples

geneinfo_demo <- demo_geneinfo()

---

Demo data of markers

Description

Demo data of markers

Usage

demo_marker()

Details

markers used in findmarkergene must be a data.frame object with eleven columns.

Value

A demo marker data.frame.

Examples

markers_demo <- demo_marker()

Evidence-based score and annotation for each cluster

Description

Evidence-based score and annotation for each cluster.

Usage

findcelltype(object, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

object	scCATCH object generated from findmarkergene.
verbose	Show progress messages.

Value

scCATCH object containing the results of predicted cell types for each cluster.

---

Find potential marker genes for each cluster

Description

Identify potential marker genes for each cluster.

Usage

findmarkergene(
  object,
  species = NULL,
  cluster = "All",
  if_use_custom_marker = FALSE,
  marker = NULL,
  cancer = "Normal",
  tissue = NULL,
  use_method = "1",
  comp_cluster = NULL,
  cell_min_pct = 0.25,
  logfc = 0.25,
  pvalue = 0.05,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

object	scCATCH object generated from createscCATCH.
species	The specie of cells. The species must be defined. 'Human' or 'Mouse'. When if_use_custom_marker is set TRUE, no need to define the species.
cluster	Select which clusters for potential marker genes identification. e.g. '1', '2', etc. The default is 'All' to find potential makrer genes for each cluster.
if_use_custom_marker	Whether to use custom markers data.frame.
marker	A data.frame containing marker genes. See demo_marker. Default is to use the system cellmatch data.frame.
cancer	If the sample is from cancer tissue, then the cancer type may be defined. When if_use_custom_marker is set TRUE, no need to define the cancer.
tissue	Tissue origin of cells must be defined. Select one or more related tissue types. When if_use_custom_marker is set TRUE, no need to define the tissue.
use_method	'1' is to compare with other every cluster. '2' is to compare with other clusters together.
comp_cluster	Number of clusters to compare. Default is to compare all other cluster for each cluster. Set it between 1 and length of unique clusters. More marker genes will be obtained for smaller comp_cluster.
cell_min_pct	Include the gene detected in at least this many cells in each cluster.
logfc	Include the gene with at least this fold change of average gene expression compared to every other clusters.
pvalue	Include the significantly highly expressed gene with this cutoff of p value from wilcox test compared to every other clusters.
verbose	Show progress messages.

Arguments

data	A matrix or dgCMatrix containing count or normalized data, each column representing a spot or a cell, each row representing a gene; Or a data.frame containing cell markers, use demo_marker.
data_type	A character to define the type of data, select 'data' for the data matrix, 'marker' for the data.frame containing cell markers.

geneinfo	A data.frame of the system data containing gene symbols of 'Human' and 'Mouse' updated on Jan. 1, 2022.

Value

A new matrix or data.frame.
