Seurat calculates highly variable genes and focuses on these for downstream analysis. FindVariableGenes calculates the average expression and dispersion for each gene, places these genes into bins, and then calculates a z-score for dispersion within each bin. This helps control for the relationship between variability and average expression. function in Seurat. Signal distribution in each cluster was evaluated and visualized using Violin plots using the VlnPlot function in Seurat. Cell type identification To identify the cell types and subtypes that the tumors contain, two different methods were employed. The first method used the cell type markers that have been estab- Data were scaled before undergoing dimensionality reduction using the RunPCA Seurat function. Cells were visualized on a projection map using the RunUMAP function. Feature plots for known lung cell type markers were used to identify the cell types clustered using the Louvain algorithm implemented in the FindClusters function after cells were embedded in a graph using FindNeighbors. # First lets stash our identities for later seurat[["ClusterNames_0.6"]] <-Idents (object = seurat) # Note that if you set save.snn=T above, you don't need to recalculate the # SNN, and can simply put: seurat <- FindClusters(seurat, resolution = 0.8) seurat <-FindClusters (object = seurat, reduction = "pca", dims = 1: 10, resolution = 0.8) Pre-processing with Seurat. Now, we create a Seurat object and filter out cells with less than 50 transcripts or fewer than 10 expressed genes. Those cut-offs are only reasonable for this example data set and will likely need to be adjusted in a real data set. Then, we follow the standard Seurat workflow, including…
