This dataset contains files reconstructing single-cell data presented in 'Reference transcriptomics of porcine peripheral immune cells created through bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing' by Herrera-Uribe & Wiarda et al. 2021. Samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from seven pigs and processed for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in order to provide a reference annotation of porcine immune cell transcriptomics at enhanced, single-cell resolution. Analysis of single-cell data allowed identification of 36 cell clusters that were further classified into 13 cell types, including monocytes, dendritic cells, B cells, antibody-secreting cells, numerous populations of T cells, NK cells, and erythrocytes. Files may be used to reconstruct the data as presented in the manuscript, allowing for individual query by other users.

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.

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.

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.

Skeletal muscle repair is driven by the coordinated self-renewal and fusion of myogenic stem and progenitor cells. Single-cell gene expression analyses of myogenesis have been hampered by the poor sampling of rare and transient cell states that are critical for muscle repair, and do not inform the spatial context that is important for myogenic differentiation. Here, we demonstrate how large-scale integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data can overcome these limitations. We created a single-cell transcriptomic dataset of mouse skeletal muscle by integration, consensus annotation, and analysis of 23 newly collected scRNAseq datasets and 88 publicly available single-cell (scRNAseq) and single-nucleus (snRNAseq) RNA-sequencing datasets. The resulting dataset includes more than 365,000 cells and spans a wide range of ages, injury, and repair conditions. Together, these data enabled identification of the predominant cell types in skeletal muscle, and resolved cell subtypes, including endothelial subtypes distinguished by vessel-type of origin, fibro/adipogenic progenitors defined by functional roles, and many distinct immune populations. The representation of different experimental conditions and the depth of transcriptome coverage enabled robust profiling of sparsely expressed genes. We built a densely sampled transcriptomic model of myogenesis, from stem cell quiescence to myofiber maturation and identified rare, transitional states of progenitor commitment and fusion that are poorly represented in individual datasets. We performed spatial RNA sequencing of mouse muscle at three time points after injury and used the integrated dataset as a reference to achieve a high-resolution, local deconvolution of cell subtypes. We also used the integrated dataset to explore ligand-receptor co-expression patterns and identify dynamic cell-cell interactions in muscle injury response. We provide a public web tool to enable interactive exploration and visualization of the data. Our work supports the utility of large-scale integration of single-cell transcriptomic data as a tool for biological discovery.

Methods Mice. The Cornell University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approved all animal protocols, and experiments were performed in compliance with its institutional guidelines. Adult C57BL/6J mice (mus musculus) were obtained from Jackson Laboratories (#000664; Bar Harbor, ME) and were used at 4-7 months of age. Aged C57BL/6J mice were obtained from the National Institute of Aging (NIA) Rodent Aging Colony and were used at 20 months of age. For new scRNAseq experiments, female mice were used in each experiment.

Mouse injuries and single-cell isolation. To induce muscle injury, both tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of old (20 months) C57BL/6J mice were injected with 10 µl of notexin (10 µg/ml; Latoxan; France). At 0, 1, 2, 3.5, 5, or 7 days post-injury (dpi), mice were sacrificed and TA muscles were collected and processed independently to generate single-cell suspensions. Muscles were digested with 8 mg/ml Collagenase D (Roche; Switzerland) and 10 U/ml Dispase II (Roche; Switzerland), followed by manual dissociation to generate cell suspensions. Cell suspensions were sequentially filtered through 100 and 40 μm filters (Corning Cellgro #431752 and #431750) to remove debris. Erythrocytes were removed through incubation in erythrocyte lysis buffer (IBI Scientific #89135-030).

Single-cell RNA-sequencing library preparation. After digestion, single-cell suspensions were washed and resuspended in 0.04% BSA in PBS at a concentration of 106 cells/ml. Cells were counted manually with a hemocytometer to determine their concentration. Single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared using the Chromium Single Cell 3’ reagent kit v3 (10x Genomics, PN-1000075; Pleasanton, CA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were diluted into the Chromium Single Cell A Chip to yield a recovery of 6,000 single-cell transcriptomes. After preparation, libraries were sequenced using on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina; San Diego, CA) using 75 cycle high output kits (Index 1 = 8, Read 1 = 26, and Read 2 = 58). Details on estimated sequencing saturation and the number of reads per sample are shown in Sup. Data 1.

Spatial RNA sequencing library preparation. Tibialis anterior muscles of adult (5 mo) C57BL6/J mice were injected with 10µl notexin (10 µg/ml) at 2, 5, and 7 days prior to collection. Upon collection, tibialis anterior muscles were isolated, embedded in OCT, and frozen fresh in liquid nitrogen. Spatially tagged cDNA libraries were built using the Visium Spatial Gene Expression 3’ Library Construction v1 Kit (10x Genomics, PN-1000187; Pleasanton, CA) (Fig. S7). Optimal tissue permeabilization time for 10 µm thick sections was found to be 15 minutes using the 10x Genomics Visium Tissue Optimization Kit (PN-1000193). H&E stained tissue sections were imaged using Zeiss PALM MicroBeam laser capture microdissection system and the images were stitched and processed using Fiji ImageJ software. cDNA libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 using 150 cycle high output kits (Read 1=28bp, Read 2=120bp, Index 1=10bp, and Index 2=10bp). Frames around the capture area on the Visium slide were aligned manually and spots covering the tissue were selected using Loop Browser v4.0.0 software (10x Genomics). Sequencing data was then aligned to the mouse reference genome (mm10) using the spaceranger v1.0.0 pipeline to generate a feature-by-spot-barcode expression matrix (10x Genomics).

Download and alignment of single-cell RNA sequencing data. For all samples available via SRA, parallel-fastq-dump (github.com/rvalieris/parallel-fastq-dump) was used to download raw .fastq files. Samples which were only available as .bam files were converted to .fastq format using bamtofastq from 10x Genomics (github.com/10XGenomics/bamtofastq). Raw reads were aligned to the mm10 reference using cellranger (v3.1.0).

Preprocessing and batch correction of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets. First, ambient RNA signal was removed using the default SoupX (v1.4.5) workflow (autoEstCounts and adjustCounts; github.com/constantAmateur/SoupX). Samples were then preprocessed using the standard Seurat (v3.2.1) workflow (NormalizeData, ScaleData, FindVariableFeatures, RunPCA, FindNeighbors, FindClusters, and RunUMAP; github.com/satijalab/seurat). Cells with fewer than 750 features, fewer than 1000 transcripts, or more than 30% of unique transcripts derived from mitochondrial genes were removed. After preprocessing, DoubletFinder (v2.0) was used to identify putative doublets in each dataset, individually. BCmvn optimization was used for PK parameterization. Estimated doublet rates were computed by fitting the total number of cells after quality filtering to a linear regression of the expected doublet rates published in the 10x Chromium handbook. Estimated homotypic doublet rates were also accounted for using the modelHomotypic function. The default PN value (0.25) was used. Putative doublets were then removed from each individual dataset. After preprocessing and quality filtering, we merged the datasets and performed batch-correction with three tools, independently- Harmony (github.com/immunogenomics/harmony) (v1.0), Scanorama (github.com/brianhie/scanorama) (v1.3), and BBKNN (github.com/Teichlab/bbknn) (v1.3.12). We then used Seurat to process the integrated data. After initial integration, we removed the noisy cluster and re-integrated the data using each of the three batch-correction tools.

Cell type annotation. Cell types were determined for each integration method independently. For Harmony and Scanorama, dimensions accounting for 95% of the total variance were used to generate SNN graphs (Seurat::FindNeighbors). Louvain clustering was then performed on the output graphs (including the corrected graph output by BBKNN) using Seurat::FindClusters. A clustering resolution of 1.2 was used for Harmony (25 initial clusters), BBKNN (28 initial clusters), and Scanorama (38 initial clusters). Cell types were determined based on expression of canonical genes (Fig. S3). Clusters which had similar canonical marker gene expression patterns were merged.

Pseudotime workflow. Cells were subset based on the consensus cell types between all three integration methods. Harmony embedding values from the dimensions accounting for 95% of the total variance were used for further dimensional reduction with PHATE, using phateR (v1.0.4) (github.com/KrishnaswamyLab/phateR).

Deconvolution of spatial RNA sequencing spots. Spot deconvolution was performed using the deconvolution module in BayesPrism (previously known as “Tumor microEnvironment Deconvolution”, TED, v1.0; github.com/Danko-Lab/TED). First, myogenic cells were re-labeled, according to binning along the first PHATE dimension, as “Quiescent MuSCs” (bins 4-5), “Activated MuSCs” (bins 6-7), “Committed Myoblasts” (bins 8-10), and “Fusing Myoctes” (bins 11-18). Culture-associated muscle stem cells were ignored and myonuclei labels were retained as “Myonuclei (Type IIb)” and “Myonuclei (Type IIx)”. Next, highly and differentially expressed genes across the 25 groups of cells were identified with differential gene expression analysis using Seurat (FindAllMarkers, using Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test; results in Sup. Data 2). The resulting genes were filtered based on average log2-fold change (avg_logFC > 1) and the percentage of cells within the cluster which express each gene (pct.expressed > 0.5), yielding 1,069 genes. Mitochondrial and ribosomal protein genes were also removed from this list, in line with recommendations in the BayesPrism vignette. For each of the cell types, mean raw counts were calculated across the 1,069 genes to generate a gene expression profile for BayesPrism. Raw counts for each spot were then passed to the run.Ted function, using

There is a growing need for integration of “Big Data” into undergraduate biology curricula. Transcriptomics is one venue to examine biology from an informatics perspective. RNA sequencing has largely replaced the use of microarrays for whole genome gene expression studies. Recently, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) has unmasked population heterogeneity, offering unprecedented views into the inner workings of individual cells. scRNAseq is transforming our understanding of development, cellular identity, cell function, and disease. As a ‘Big Data,’ scRNAseq can be intimidating for students to conceptualize and analyze, yet it plays an increasingly important role in modern biology. To address these challenges, we created an engaging case study that guides students through an exploration of scRNAseq technologies. Students work in groups to explore external resources, manipulate authentic data and experience how single cell RNA transcriptomics can be used for personalized cancer treatment. This five-part case study is intended for upper-level life science majors and graduate students in genetics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, biology, and medical genomics courses. The case modules can be completed sequentially, or individual parts can be separately adapted. The first module can also be used as a stand-alone exercise in an introductory biology course. Students need an intermediate mastery of Microsoft Excel but do not need programming skills. Assessment includes both students’ self-assessment of their learning as answers to previous questions are used to progress through the case study and instructor assessment of final answers.

Scripts and data for the paper: Consequences and opportunities arising due to sparser single-cell RNA-seq datasets

With the number of cells measured in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets increasing exponentially and concurrent increased sparsity due to more zero counts being measured for many genes, we demonstrate here that downstream analyses on binary-based gene expression give similar results as count-based analyses. Moreover, a binary representation scales up to ~ 50-fold more cells that can be analyzed using the same computational resources. We also highlight the possibilities provided by binarized scRNA-seq data. Development of specialized tools for bit-aware implementations of downstream analytical tasks will enable a more fine-grained resolution of biological heterogeneity.

This online resource provides supplementary items used to analyze data in the work, "Single-cell RNA sequencing characterization of Holstein cattle blood and milk immune cells during a chronic Staphylococcus aureus mastitis infection", by Wiarda et al. Cells were collected from milk and blood of three cattle with chronic mastitis infections caused by experimental Staphylococcus aureus challenge. Isolated cells were processed for single-cell RNA sequencing, resulting in a dataset of 35,338 cells distributed across 62 cells clusters. Cell clusters were classified as granulocytes, monocyte/macrophage/conventional dendritic cells, B cells/antibody-secreting cells, T cells/innate lymphoid cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and non-immune cells. A data subset consisting of 30 granulocyte clusters was also created. Data objects of total cell and granulocyte datasets are included here (.h5seurat files), as well as results of pairwise differential gene expression of all cell clusters (resulting in over 4.3 million differentially expressed genes), and a data object containing cell neighborhoods used for differential abundance testing.

Liquid biopsy is a promising non-invasive technology that is capable of diagnosing cancer. However, current ctDNA-based approaches detect only a minority of early-stage disease. We set out to improve the sensitivity of liquid biopsy by harnessing tumor recognition by T cells through the sequencing of the circulating T-cell receptor repertoire. We studied a cohort of 463 patients with lung cancer (86% stage I) and 587 subjects without cancer using gDNA extracted from blood buffy coats. We performed TCR β chain sequencing to yield a median of 113,571 TCR clonotypes per sample and built a TCR sequence similarity graph to cluster clonotypes into TCR repertoire functional units (RFUs). The TCR frequencies of RFUs were tested for association with cancer status and RFUs with a statistically significant association were combined into a cancer score using a support vector machine model. The model was evaluated by 10-fold cross-validation and compared with a ctDNA panel of 237 mutation hotspots in 154 lung cancer driver genes and 17 cancer related protein biomarkers in 85 subjects. We identified 327 cancer- associated TCR RFUs with a false discovery rate (FDR) ≤ 0.1, including 157 enriched in cancer samples and 170 enriched in controls. Levels of 247/327 (76%) RFUs were correlated with the presence of an HLA allele at FDR ≤ 0.1 and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte TCRs from multiple RFUs bound HLA presented tumor antigen peptides, suggesting antigen recognition as a driver of the cancer-RFU associations found. The RFU cancer score detected nearly 50% of stage I lung cancers at a specificity of 80% and boosted the sensitivity by up to 20 percentage points when added to ctDNA and circulating proteins in a multi- analyte cancer screening test. Overall, we show that circulating TCR repertoire functional unit analysis can complement established analytes to improve liquid biopsy sensitivity for early-stage cancer.
