A mathematical framework for raw counts of single-cell RNA-seq data analysis

Silvia Giulia Galfre', Francesco Morandin

备注：: 22 pages, 4 figures

英文摘要：

Single-cell RNA-seq data are challenging because of the sparseness of the read counts, the tiny expression of many relevant genes, and the variability in the efficiency of RNA extraction for different cells. We consider a simple probabilistic model for read counts, based on a negative binomial distribution for each gene, modified by a cell-dependent coefficient interpreted as an extraction efficiency. We provide two alternative fast methods to estimate the model parameters, together with the probability that a cell results in zero read counts for a gene. This allows to measure genes co-expression and differential expression in a novel way.

Statistical Modeling of RNA-Seq Data

Recently, ultra high-throughput sequencing of RNA (RNA-Seq) has been developed as an approach for analysis of gene expression. By obtaining tens or even hundreds of millions of reads of transcribed sequences, an RNA-Seq experiment can offer a comprehensive survey of the population of genes (transcripts) in any sample of interest. This paper introduces a statistical model for estimating isoform abundance from RNA-Seq data and is flexible enough to accommodate both single end and paired end RNA-Seq data and sampling bias along the length of the transcript. Based on the derivation of minimal suff…

Models for transcript quantification from RNA-Seq

RNA-Seq is rapidly becoming the standard technology for transcriptome analysis. Fundamental to many of the applications of RNA-Seq is the quantification problem, which is the accurate measurement of relative transcript abundances from the sequenced reads. We focus on this problem, and review many recently published models that are used to estimate the relative abundances. In addition to describing the models and the different approaches to inference, we also explain how methods are related to each other. A key result is that we show how inference with many of the models results in identical es…

Estimation of the number of spikes using a generalized spike population model and application to RNA-seq data

Although a generalized spike population model has been actively studied in random matrix theory, its application to real data has been rarely explored. We find that most methods for determining the number of spikes based on the Johnstone's spike population model choose far too many spikes in RNA-seq gene expression data or often fail to determine the number of spikes by indicating that all components are spikes. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the estimation of the number of spikes based on a generalized spike population model. Also, we suggest a new noise model for RNA-seq data …

Structure learning for zero-inflated counts, with an application to single-cell RNA sequencing data

The problem of estimating the structure of a graph from observed data is of growing interest in the context of high-throughput genomic data, and single-cell RNA sequencing in particular. These, however, are challenging applications, since the data consist of high-dimensional counts with high variance and over-abundance of zeros. Here, we present a general framework for learning the structure of a graph from single-cell RNA-seq data, based on the zero-inflated negative binomial distribution. We demonstrate with simulations that our approach is able to retrieve the structure of a graph in a vari…

BADER: Bayesian analysis of differential expression in RNA sequencing data

Identifying differentially expressed genes from RNA sequencing data remains a challenging task because of the considerable uncertainties in parameter estimation and the small sample sizes in typical applications. Here we introduce Bayesian Analysis of Differential Expression in RNA-sequencing data (BADER). Due to our choice of data and prior distributions, full posterior inference for BADER can be carried out efficiently. The method appropriately takes uncertainty in gene variance into account, leading to higher power than existing methods in detecting differentially expressed genes. Moreover,…

Bayesian Estimation of Negative Binomial Parameters with Applications to RNA-Seq Data

RNA-Seq data characteristically exhibits large variances, which need to be appropriately accounted for in the model. We first explore the effects of this variability on the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the overdispersion parameter of the negative binomial distribution, and propose instead the use an estimator obtained via maximization of the marginal likelihood in a conjugate Bayesian framework. We show, via simulation studies, that the marginal MLE can better control this variation and produce a more stable and reliable estimator. We then formulate a conjugate Bayesian hierarchical m…

A Unified Model for Differential Expression Analysis of RNA-seq Data via L1-Penalized Linear Regression

The RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is becoming increasingly popular for quantifying gene expression levels. Since the RNA-seq measurements are relative in nature, between-sample normalization of counts is an essential step in differential expression (DE) analysis. The normalization of existing DE detection algorithms is ad hoc and performed once for all prior to DE detection, which may be suboptimal since ideally normalization should be based on non-DE genes only and thus coupled with DE detection. We propose a unified statistical model for joint normalization and DE detection of log-transformed RNA…

Unit-free and robust detection of differential expression from RNA-Seq data

Ultra high-throughput sequencing of transcriptomes (RNA-Seq) is a widely used method for quantifying gene expression levels due to its low cost, high accuracy and wide dynamic range for detection. However, the nature of RNA-Seq makes it nearly impossible to provide absolute measurements of transcript abundances. Several units or data summarization methods for transcript quantification have been proposed in the past to account for differences in transcript lengths and sequencing depths across different genes and different samples. Nevertheless, further between-sample normalization is still need…

Poisson-Tweedie mixed-effects model: a flexible approach for the analysis of longitudinal RNA-seq data

We present a new modelling approach for longitudinal count data that is motivated by the increasing availability of longitudinal RNA-sequencing experiments. The distribution of RNA-seq counts typically exhibits overdispersion, zero-inflation and heavy tails; moreover, in longitudinal designs repeated measurements from the same subject are typically (positively) correlated. We propose a generalized linear mixed model based on the Poisson-Tweedie distribution that can flexibly handle each of the aforementioned features of longitudinal overdispersed counts. We develop a computational approach to …

Fused inverse-normal method for integrated differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data

Use of next-generation sequencing technologies to transcriptomics (RNA-seq) for gene expression profiling has found widespread application in studying different biological conditions including cancers. However, RNA-seq experiments are still small sample size experiments due to the cost. Recently, an increased focus has been on meta-analysis methods for integrated differential expression analysis for exploration of potential biomarkers. In this study, we propose a p-value combination method for meta-analysis of multiple related RNA-seq studies that accounts for sample size of a study and direct…

Differential meta-analysis of RNA-seq data from multiple studies

High-throughput sequencing is now regularly used for studies of the transcriptome (RNA-seq), particularly for comparisons among experimental conditions. For the time being, a limited number of biological replicates are typically considered in such experiments, leading to low detection power for differential expression. As their cost continues to decrease, it is likely that additional follow-up studies will be conducted to re-address the same biological question. We demonstrate how p-value combination techniques previously used for microarray meta-analyses can be used for the differential analy…
