Single-cell RNA-seq studies profile thousands of cells in developmental processes. Current databases for human single-cell expression atlas only provide search and visualize functions for a selected gene in specific cell types or subpopulations. These databases are limited to technical properties or visualization of single-cell RNA-seq data without considering the biological relations of their collected cell groups. Here, we developed a database to investigate single-cell gene expression profiling during different developmental pathways (SCDevDB). In this database, we collected 10 human single-cell RNA-seq datasets, split these datasets into 176 developmental cell groups, and constructed 24 different developmental pathways. SCDevDB allows users to search the expression profiles of the interested genes across different developmental pathways. It also provides lists of differentially expressed genes during each developmental pathway, T-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding maps showing the relationships between developmental stages based on these differentially expressed genes, Gene Ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis results of these differentially expressed genes. This database is freely available at https://scdevdb.deepomics.org.

The peripheral blood immune cell (PBMC) samples were collected from patients infected with dengue virus (DENV) at four time points: two and one day(s) before defervescence (febrile phase), at defervescence (critical phase), and two-week convalescence. The raw and filtered matrix files were generated using CellRanger version 3.0.2 (10x Genomics, USA) with the reference human genome GRCh38 1.2.0. Potential contamination of ambient RNAs was corrected using SoupX. Low quality cells, including cells expressing mitochondrial genes higher than 10% and doublets/multiplets, were excluded using Seurat and doubletFinder, respectively. The individual samples were then integrated using the SCTransform method with 3,000 gene features. Principal component analysis (PCA) and clustering were performed with the Louvain algorithm applying multi-level refinement algorithm. The gene expression level of each cell was normalized using the LogNormalize method in Seurat. Cell types were annotated using the canonical marker genes described in the original paper, see related link below.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented June 5, 2017. It has been merged with Cell Image Library.

Raw and processed (filtered and annotated) data are provided as AnnData objects which can be directly ingested to reproduce the findings of the paper or for ab initio data reuse: 1- raw.zip provides concatenated raw/unfiltered counts for the 20 samples in the standard Market Exchange Format (MEX) format. 2- 230330_sw_besca2_LowFil_raw.h5ad contains filtered cells and raw counts in the HDF5 format. 3- 221124_sw_besca2_LowFil.annotated.h5ad contains filtered cells and log normalized counts, along with cell type annotation in the HDF5 format.

scRNAseq data generation: Whole blood from 4 donors was treated with 0.2 μg/mL CD20-TCB, or incubated in the absence of CD20- TCB. At baseline (before addition of TCB) and assay endpoints (2, 4, 6, and 20 hrs), blood was collected for total leukocyte isolation using EasySepTM red blood cell depletion reagent (Stemcell). Briefly, cells were counted and processed for single cell RNA sequencing using the BD Rhapsody platform. To load several samples on a single BD Rhapsody cartridge, sample cells were labelled with sample tags (BD Human Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit) following the manufacturer’s protocol prior to pooling. Briefly, 1x106 cells from each sample were re-suspended in 180 μL FBS Stain Buffer (BD, PharMingen) and sample tags were added to the respective samples and incubated for 20 min at RT. After incubation, 2 successive washes were performed by addition of 2 mL stain buffer and centrifugation for 5 min at 300 g. Cells were then re- suspended in 620 μL cold BD Sample Buffer, stained with 3.1 μL of both 2 mM Calcein AM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 0.3 mM Draq7 (BD Biosciences) and finally counted on the BD Rhapsody scanner. Samples were then diluted and/or pooled equally in 650 μL cold BD Sample Buffer. The BD Rhapsody cartridges were then loaded with up to 40 000 – 50 000 cells. Single cells were isolated using Single-Cell Capture and cDNA Synthesis with the BD Rhapsody Express Single-Cell Analysis System according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (BD Biosciences). cDNA libraries were prepared using the Whole Transcriptome Analysis Amplification Kit following the BD Rhapsody System mRNA Whole Transcriptome Analysis (WTA) and Sample Tag Library Preparation Protocol (BD Biosciences). Indexed WTA and sample tags libraries were quantified and quality controlled on the Qubit Fluorometer using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay, and on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system using the Agilent High Sensitivity DNA Kit. Sequencing was performed on a Novaseq 6000 (Illumina) in paired-end mode (64-8- 58) with Novaseq6000 S2 v1 or Novaseq6000 SP v1.5 reagents kits (100 cycles). scRNAseq data analysis: Sequencing data was processed using the BD Rhapsody Analysis pipeline (v 1.0 https://www.bd.com/documents/guides/user-guides/GMX_BD-Rhapsody-genomics- informatics_UG_EN.pdf) on the Seven Bridges Genomics platform. Briefly, read pairs with low sequencing quality were first removed and the cell label and UMI identified for further quality check and filtering. Valid reads were then mapped to the human reference genome (GRCh38-PhiX-gencodev29) using the aligner Bowtie2 v2.2.9, and reads with the same cell label, same UMI sequence and same gene were collapsed into a single raw molecule while undergoing further error correction and quality checks. Cell labels were filtered with a multi-step algorithm to distinguish those associated with putative cells from those associated with noise. After determining the putative cells, each cell was assigned to the sample of origin through the sample tag (only for cartridges with multiplex loading). Finally, the single-cell gene expression matrices were generated and a metrics summary was provided. After pre-processing with BD’s pipeline, the count matrices and metadata of each sample were aggregated into a single adata object and loaded into the besca v2.3 pipeline for the single cell RNA sequencing analysis (43). First, we filtered low quality cells with less than 200 genes, less than 500 counts or more than 30% of mitochondrial reads. This permissive filtering was used in order to preserve the neutrophils. We further excluded potential multiplets (cells with more than 5,000 genes or 20,000 counts), and genes expressed in less than 30 cells. Normalization, log-transformed UMI counts per 10,000 reads [log(CP10K+1)], was applied before downstream analysis. After normalization, technical variance was removed by regressing out the effects of total UMI counts and percentage of mitochondrial reads, and gene expression was scaled. The 2,507 most variable genes (having a minimum mean expression of 0.0125, a maximum mean expression of 3 and a minimum dispersion of 0.5) were used for principal component analysis. Finally, the first 50 PCs were used as input for calculating the 10 nearest neighbours and the neighbourhood graph was then embedded into the two-dimensional space using the UMAP algorithm at a resolution of 2. Cell type annotation was performed using the Sig-annot semi-automated besca module, which is a signature- based hierarchical cell annotation method. The used signatures, configuration and nomenclature files can be found at https://github.com/bedapub/besca/tree/master/besca/datasets. For more details, please refer to the publication.

The SUM human breast cancer cell lines have been used by many labs around the world to develop extensive data sets derived from comparative genomic hybridization analysis, gene expression profiling, whole exome sequencing, and reverse phase protein array analysis. In a previous study, the authors of this paper performed genome-scale shRNA essentiality screens on the entire SUM line panel, as well as on MCF10A cells, MCF-7 cells, and MCF-7LTED cells. In this study, the authors have developed the SUM Breast Cancer Cell Line Knowledge Base, to make all of these omics data sets available to users of the SUM lines, and to allow users to mine the data and analyse them with respect to biological pathways enriched by the data in each cell line.Data access: All the datasets supporting the findings of this study are publicly available in the SLKBase platform here: https://sumlineknowledgebase.com/. RPPA data, drug sensitivity data, apelisib response data, and data on dose response, are also part of this figshare data record (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12497630).Study aims and methodology: This web-based knowledge base provides users with data and information on the derivation of each of the cell lines, provides narrative summaries of the genomics and cell biology of each breast cancer cell line, and provides protocols for the proper maintenance of the cells. The database includes a series of data mining tools that allow rapid identification of the functional oncogene signatures for each line, the enrichment of any KEGG pathway with screen hit and gene expression data for each of the lines, and a rapid analysis of protein and phospho-protein expression for the cell lines. A gene search tool that returns all of the functional genome and functional druggable data for any gene for the entire cell line panel, is included. Additionally, the authors have expanded the database to include functional genomic data for an additional 29 commonly used breast cancer cell lines. The three overarching goals in the original development of the SLKBase are: 1) to provide a rich source of information for anyone working with any of the SUM breast cancer cell lines, 2) to give researchers ready access to the large genomic data sets that have been developed with these cells, and 3) to allow researchers to perform orthogonal analyses of the various genomics data sets that we and others have obtained from the SUM lines.

Codes, processed data and examples of analyses used in the publication: Reconstruction of macroglia and adult neurogenesis evolution through cross-species single-cell transcriptomic analyses. This repository contains data generated in the Bally-Cuif lab through scRNA-seq of dissected zebrafish telencephala, as well as code used in their analysis. Included are datasets and illustrations obtained from reanalysis of other studies. Comparative analyses between these datasets were conducted to investigate the evolution of adult neurogenesis and of macroglia. All the data present in this repository are derived from scRNA-seq analysis obtained from various species (zebrafish in our case, and species ranging from cnidarians to humans in the case of reanalyzed datasets). Our dataset was generated by dissecting zebrafish brains, enriching for adult neural stem cells and sequencing individual cells with the 10X Chromium v2 kit. Our aim was to gain insight into the physiology and heterogeneity of adult neural stem cells and compare zebrafish neural stem cells to those found in other species. Retrieved datasets were generated for various purposes but were used in this study to serve as basis for comparative evolution analyses.

Subcellular methods

The subcellular resource of the Human Protein Atlas provides high-resolution insights into the expression and spatiotemporal distribution of proteins encoded by 13603 genes (67% of the human protein-coding genes), as well as predictions for an additional 3459 secreted- or membrane proteins, covering a total of 17062 genes (85% of the human protein-coding genes). For each gene, the subcellular distribution of the protein has been investigated by immunofluorescence (ICC-IF) and confocal microscopy in up to three different standard cell lines, selected from a panel of 42 cell lines used in the subcellular resource. For some genes, the protein has also been stained in up to three ciliated cell lines, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and/or in human sperm cells. Upon image analysis, the subcellular localization of the protein has been classified into one or more of 49 different organelles and subcellular structures. In addition, the resource includes an annotation of genes that display single-cell variation in protein expression levels and/or subcellular distribution, as well as an extended analysis of cell cycle dependency of such variations. 

The subcellular resource offers a database for detailed exploration of individual genes and proteins of interest, as well as for systematic analysis of proteomes in a broader context. More information about the content of the resouce, as well as the generation and analysis of the data, can be found in the Methods summary. Learn about:
