Visualizing Large-scale Copy Number Variation in Single-Cell RNA-Seq Expression Data
2019-11-15
Abstract
InferCNV is used to explore tumor single cell RNA-Seq data to identify evidence for large-scale chromosomal copy number variations, such as gains or deletions of entire chromosomes or large segments of chromosomes. This is done by exploring expression intensity of genes across positions of the genome in comparison to the average or a set of reference ‘normal’ cells. A heatmap is generated illustrating the relative expression intensities across each chromosome, and it becomes readily apparent as to which regions of the genome are over-abundant or less-abundant as compared to normal cells (or the average, if reference normal cells are not provided).Package
infercnv 1.2.1
Contents
1 Installation
1.1 Required dependencies
inferCNV uses the R packages ape, BiocGenerics, binhf, caTools, coda, coin, dplyr, doparallel, edgeR, fastcluster, fitdistrplus, foreach, futile.logger, future, gplots, ggplot2, HiddenMarkov, reshape, rjags, RColorBrewer, SingleCellExperiment, SummarizedExperiment and imports functions from the archived GMD.
1.2 Installing
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("infercnv")1.3 Optional extension
If you want to use the interactive heatmap visualization, please check the add-on packge R inferCNV_NGCHM after installing the packages tibble, tsvio and NGCHMR. To install optional packages, type the following in an R command window:
install.packages("tibble")
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bmbroom/tsvio")
devtools::install_github("bmbroom/NGCHMR", ref="stable")
devtools::install_github("broadinstitute/inferCNV_NGCHM")And download the NGCHM java application by typing the following in a regular shell:
wget http://tcga.ngchm.net/NGCHM/ShaidyMapGen.jar2 Running InferCNV
