How to perform CCI simulation by cellCellSimulate function (original) (raw)
Introduction
Here, we explain the way to generate CCI simulation data.scTensor has a function cellCellSimulate
to generate the simulation data.
The simplest way to generate such data is cellCellSimulate
with default parameters.
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library("scTensor"))
sim <- cellCellSimulate()
## Getting the values of params...
## Setting random seed...
## Generating simulation data...
## Done!
This function internally generate the parameter sets by newCCSParams
, and the values of the parameter can be changed, and specified as the input of cellCellSimulate
by users as follows.
# Default parameters
params <- newCCSParams()
str(params)

setParam(params, "nGene") <- 1000

setParam(params, "nCell") <- c(20, 20, 20)
# Setting for Ligand-Receptor pair list
setParam(params, "cciInfo") <- list(
nPair=500, # Total number of L-R pairs

nGene=50, # 50 pairs are generated as CCI1

# Simulation data
sim <- cellCellSimulate(params)
## Getting the values of params...

## Generating simulation data...
## Done!
The output object sim has some attributes as follows.
Firstly, sim$input contains a synthetic gene expression matrix. The size can be changed by nGene and nCell parameters described above.
dim(sim$input)
## [1] 1000 60
sim$input[1:2,1:3]
## Cell1 Cell2 Cell3
## Gene1 9105 2 0
## Gene2 4 37 850
Next, sim$LR contains a ligand-receptor (L-R) pair list. The size can be changed by nPair parameter of cciInfo, and the differentially expressed (DE) L-R pairs are saved in the upper side of this matrix. Here, two DE L-R patterns are specified as cciInfo, and each number of pairs is 50 and 30, respectively.
dim(sim$LR)
## [1] 500 2
sim$LR[1:10,]
## GENEID_L GENEID_R
## 1 Gene1 Gene81
## 2 Gene2 Gene82
## 3 Gene3 Gene83
## 4 Gene4 Gene84
## 5 Gene5 Gene85
## 6 Gene6 Gene86
## 7 Gene7 Gene87
## 8 Gene8 Gene88
## 9 Gene9 Gene89
## 10 Gene10 Gene90

## 47 Gene47 Gene127
## 48 Gene48 Gene128

## 497 Gene577 Gene997
## 498 Gene578 Gene998
## 499 Gene579 Gene999
## 500 Gene580 Gene1000
Finally, sim$celltypes contains a cell type vector. Since nCell is specified as “c(20, 20, 20)” described above, three cell types are generated.
length(sim$celltypes)
## [1] 60
head(sim$celltypes)
## Celltype1 Celltype1 Celltype1 Celltype1 Celltype1 Celltype1
## "Cell1" "Cell2" "Cell3" "Cell4" "Cell5" "Cell6"
table(names(sim$celltypes))
##
## Celltype1 Celltype2 Celltype3
## 20 20 20
