Benchmarking atlas-level data integration in single-cell genomics

Malte D. Luecken et al.

Summary: This study benchmarked 68 method and preprocessing combinations on 85 batches of gene expression data, highlighting the importance of highly variable gene selection in improving method performance. When dealing with complex integration tasks, scANVI, Scanorama, scVI, and scGen consistently performed well, while the performance of single-cell ATAC-sequencing integration was strongly influenced by the choice of feature space.

BSDE: barycenter single-cell differential expression for case-control studies

Mengqi Zhang et al.

Summary: Single-cell sequencing has revolutionized the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by providing high resolution for heterogeneous cell tissues. However, current analysis mainly focuses on comparing different cell types within the same individual. This study proposes a nonparametric method called barycenter single-cell differential expression (BSDE) to identify DEGs in case-control studies. The method overcomes the limitations of parametric approaches and accurately detects differential expressions. It is demonstrated through simulations and real data analysis that BSDE can effectively identify cell type-specific DEGs. The availability of the R package and datasets further facilitate its application in research.

A blood atlas of COVID-19 defines hallmarks of disease severity and specificity

David J. Ahern et al.

Summary: The study presents a comprehensive blood atlas for patients with varying severity of COVID-19, compared to influenza, sepsis patients, and healthy volunteers. The results identify immune signatures and correlates of host response, including cells, inflammatory mediators, immune repertoire, and metabolic and coagulation features. The study also reveals that persistent immune activation is a specific feature of COVID-19. Plasma proteomic analysis enables sub-phenotyping and prediction of severity and outcome. Integrative analyses show feature groupings linked with severity and specificity compared to influenza and sepsis.

scFeatures: multi-view representations of single-cell and spatial data for disease outcome prediction

Yue Cao et al.

Summary: This study presents a method called scFeatures that creates interpretable cellular and molecular representations of single-cell and spatial data at the sample level. Summarizing a broad collection of features at the sample level is important for understanding disease mechanisms in different experimental studies and accurately classifying disease status of individuals.

Multi-view classification with convolutional neural networks

Marco Seeland et al.

Summary: This study proposes a classification scheme that relies on fusing visual information captured from different perspectives, using convolutional neural networks to extract and encode visual features, and investigating three fusion strategies. The experiments show that integrating information fusion into the network has greater benefits compared to post-processing of classification scores, and already trained networks can be easily extended by the best fusion strategy to outperform other approaches.

Differential gene expression analysis for multi-subject single-cell RNA-sequencing studies with aggregateBioVar

Andrew L. Thurman et al.

Summary: The study shows that using a naive approach to differential expression analysis can inflate the false discovery rate when the gene expression distribution varies between subjects. Comparison of multiple differential expression testing methods on scRNA-seq datasets from human samples and animal models suggests that an approach based on pseudobulk counts has better FDR control.

Detection of differentially abundant cell subpopulations in scRNA-seq data

Jun Zhao et al.

Summary: Comprehensive and accurate comparisons of transcriptomic distributions of cells from samples taken from two different biological states, such as healthy versus diseased individuals, are a challenging task in single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Current methods for detecting differentially abundant subpopulations between samples rely on initial clustering of all cells, which may not capture important differences between the two states. DA-seq is a targeted approach that identifies differentially abundant subpopulations not limited to clusters, providing improved ability to detect differences between distinct phenotypes in various biological contexts.

Multi-omic profiling reveals widespread dysregulation of innate immunity and hematopoiesis in COVID-19

Aaron J. Wilk et al.

Summary: The study revealed immune system dysfunctions in COVID-19 patients at different disease severity stages, particularly in severe and fatal cases. It also found a lack of pro-inflammatory cytokine production in severe cases, potentially due to chromatin accessibility changes as a mechanism.
