Matrix Exchange Format to ESet | Creating a single-cell RNA-seq reference dataset for deconvolution

Abstract

After completing the MuSiC deconvolution tutorial, you are hopefully excited to apply this analysis to data of your choice. Annoyingly, getting data in the right format is often what prevents us from being able to successfully apply analyses. This tutorial is all about reformatting a raw scRNA-seq dataset pulled from a public resource (the EMBL-EBI single cell expression atlas. Let's get started!

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • Where can I find good quality scRNA-seq reference datasets?
  • How can I reformat and manipulate these downloads to create the right format for MuSiC?

Learning Objectives

  • You will retrieve raw data from the EMBL-EBI Single cell expression atlas.
  • You will manipulate the metadata and matrix files.
  • You will combine the metadata and matrix files into an ESet object for MuSiC deconvolution.
  • You will create multiple ESet objects - both combined and separated out by disease phenotype for your single cell reference.
