This procedure aims to fit sparse linear models using a binary matrix (n_samples x n_SNV) as features matrix and a gene expression matrix (n_genes x n_samples) as response. The procedure infers a sparse linear model (LASSO by default) for each gene (raw in the second matrix) and keeps the non-null inferred coefs.
This procedure can be used as a dimension reduction/feature selection procedure or as a feature ranking. It is based on the Scikit-Learn library and is easy to re-implement. However, the package allows to parallelize the fitting procedures, implements a cross-validation procedure and performs eeSNVs and gene rankings.
SSrGE can be used as a stand-alone procedure to reduce any SNV matrix (raw:single-cell, col: SNV (binary)), using a gene expression matrix (raw: gene-expression (float), col:single-cell). However, we have developped two additional modules, included in this package, that can be used to download and process RNA-seq data:
- download_ncbi_data: download and extract .sra files from NCBI
- SNV_calling: align reads/infer SNVs and infer gene expression matrices from .fastq files.
Alternatively, we compiled the download, alignment, and SNV calling pipelines into a docker container: opoirion/ssrge (see bellow).
git clone https://github.com/lanagarmire/SSrGE.git
cd SSrGE
pip2 install -r requirements.txt --user # python 2.7.X must be used- Linux working environment
- python 2 (>=2.7)
- Python libraries (automatically installed with the pip install command):
- Numpy
- Scipy
- Scikit-learn (version = 0.18)
- tabulate
- test SSrGE is functional:
python2 test/test_ssrge.py -v- Instantiate and fit SSrGE:
SSrGE should be used as a python package, below are usage example. SSrGE takes as input two matrices (A SNV matrix (n_cells x n_SNVs) and a Gene matrix (n_cells x n_Genes) In the original study, we encoded X with the following procedure: if a given snv (s) is present into a given cell (c), then X_c,n = 1 However, any type of encoding or continuous values can be used (For example, one can use X_c,n = 1 for a 1/1 genotype and 0.5 for a 0/1 genotype)

The fit method can take an additional CNV matrix of shape (n_cells x n_genes), and describing the CNV level for each gene.

path = cross_val.regularization_path('alpha', [0.01, 0.1, 0.2])Instead of relying on the regularization parameter (alpha), to select the number of eeSNVs, the nb_ranked_features argument can be specified to abotained a fixed number of eeSNVs (assuming that nb_ranked_features is lower than the number of eeSNVs obtained with the specified alpha).

- the gene id order should correspond to the gene matrix
- a SNV id should be a tuple containing the gene id harboring the given SNV and a user defined SNV id (genome position for example).
gene_id_list_example = ['KRAS', 'HLA-A', 'SPARC']
snv_id_list_example = [('KRAS', 10220), ('KRAS', 10520), ('SPARC', 0220)]

print ssrge.rank_genes()Extract specific eeSNVs and impacted genes of a given subgroup. a given eeSNV is specific to a subgroup if it is signficantly more present amongst the cells from the given subgroup:
# Defining as a subgroup the first 6 elements from X
subgroup = ssrge.rank_features_for_a_subgroup([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print subgroup.ranked_genes
print subgroup.ranked_eeSNVs
print subgroup.significant_genes
print subgroup.significant_eeSNVsIt is possible to create an SNV matrix using preexisting .vcf files and also a Gene expression matrix using expression files.
Each cell must have a distinct .vcf file with a unique name (e.g. snv_filtered.vcf) inside a unique folder, specific of the cell, with the name of the cells:
- example:
data
|-- GSM2259781__SRX1999927__SRR3999457
| |-- snv_filtered.vcf
| `-- stdout.log
`-- GSM2259782__SRX1999928__SRR3999458
|-- snv_filtered.vcf
`-- stdout.log
(stdout.log is not used and were created by the previous analysis)
and similarly for the gene expression files (matrix_counts.txt):
STAR
|-- GSM2259781__SRX1999927__SRR3999457
| |-- matrix_counts.txt
| `-- matrix_counts.txt.summary
`-- GSM2259782__SRX1999928__SRR3999458
|-- matrix_counts.txt
`-- matrix_counts.txt.summary
(matrix_counts.txt.summary is not used and were created by the previous analysis)
- The format of the expression files supported is the following:
#gene_name chromsomes starting position ending position additionnal columns gene expression
MIR6859-3 chr1;chr15;chr16 17369;102513727;67052 17436;102513794;67119 ... 200- variables (paths and file names) specific to GE and SNV matrix extraction can be defined in the config file: garmire_SSrGE/config.py
- First, a GTF index must be created:
python2 ./garmire_SSrGE/generate_refgenome_index.py- Once the index generated, the matrices can be genereated easily:
- docker
- possible root access
- 13.8 GB of free memory (docker image) + memory for STAR indexes (usually 20 GB per index) and downloaded data
docker pull opoirion/ssrge
mkdir /<Results data folder>/
cd /<Results data folder>/
