Introduction Keloid is excessive fibrosis of the skin that extends beyond the area of injury and does not regress.1 Keloid can occur in the joints and mouth after several years of severe injury, including burns, chemical injury, wound, and surgical incision.2 Keloids on the joints affect the quality of life,…

Identification of a regulatory pathway inhibiting adipogenesis via RSPO2

Integration of APC scRNA-seq data reveals heterogeneity of adipocyte progenitor cells In a previous study9, we defined Lin−Sca1+CD142+ APCs as adipogenesis regulatory (Areg) cells and demonstrated that these cells are both refractory toward adipogenesis and control adipocyte formation of APCs through paracrine signaling. In contrast, Merrick et. al.4 observed that Lin−CD142+ cells…

tSNE and UMAP of scATAC-seq data looks like spaghetti

tSNE and UMAP of scATAC-seq data looks like spaghetti 0 I would like to use R to generate cluster my 20k cells from a single cell ATAC-seq experiment. I ran PCA then selected the first 50 components, which were put into tSNE’s normalize_input() then Rtsne(). This is the result I…

Best compression for single cell RNA-seq object

Best compression for single cell RNA-seq object 0 I generated a scRNA-seq object (counts, PCA, UMAP embeddings, DEGs etc.) in Scanpy or Seurat. What is the best data structure to store this in to reduce the size of the object? I’m considering H5AD (scanpy/anndata), RDS or H5Seurat (Seurat), or Loom…

How to transform the deg gene list from seurat to a gene list input to clusterProfiler compareCluster ?

Sorry for lateness, I wanted to do something similar. This is what I did for reference: Using a Seurat generated gene list for input into ClusterProfiler to see the GO or KEGG terms per cluster. I’ll keep the meat and potatoes of the Seurat vignette in this tutorial: library(dplyr) library(Seurat)…

UMAP vs “rigorous” t-SNE

UMAP vs “rigorous” t-SNE 1 I’ve heard a lot of people discussing UMAP recently as though it has essentially superseded t-SNE for visualizing scRNA-seq data. UMAP is certainly impressive, but it seems to me that there are a lot of things one can do to pretty dramatically improve the output…

Can someone explain the differences between various 1000 genome project and gnomad call sets? Also any straightforward PCA implementation on them?

I’ve been trying to delve into the data from whole genome sequencing, specifically by looking at the already existing data in the 1000 genome project and gnomad, and I have a lot of questions. Does gnomAD contain the 1000gp samples? I’ve found many vcf including these: ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/supporting/hd_genotype_chip/ ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/phase3/integrated_sv_map/ ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/phase1/analysis_results/integrated_call_sets/ gnomad.broadinstitute.org/downloads…
