🛤️ New Learning pathway: Applying single-cell RNA-seq analysis in Coding Environments
Gone is the pre-annotated, high quality tutorial data - now you have real, messy data to deal with. You have decisions to make and parameters to decide. This learning pathway challenges you to replicate a published analysis as if this were your own dataset. You will perform this analysis in coding environments hosted on Galaxy, instead of Galaxy's button-based tool interface. The data is messy. The decisions are tough. The interpretation is meaningful. Come here to advance your single cell skills! Note that you get two options: performing the analysis predominantly in R or in Python. For support throughout these tutorials, join our Galaxy [single cell chat group on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#Galaxy-Training-Network_galaxy-single-cell:gitter.im) to ask questions!

📚 New Tutorial: Filter, plot, and explore single cell RNA-seq data with Seurat
You’ve previously done all the work to make a single cell matrix. Now it’s time to fully process our data using Seurat: remove low quality cells, reduce the many dimensions of data that make it difficult to work with, and ultimately try to define clusters and find some biological meaning and insights! There are many packages for analysing single cell data - Seurat (Satija et al. 2015), Scanpy (Wolf et al. 2018), Monocle (Trapnell et al. 2014), Scater (McCarthy et al. 2017), and many more. We’re working with Seurat because it is well updated, broadly used, and highly trusted within the field of bioinformatics.

❓ New FAQ: Notebook-based tutorials can give different outputs
The nature of coding pulls the most recent tools to perform tasks. This can - and often does - change the outputs of an analysis. Be prepared, as you are unlikely to get outputs identical to a tutorial if you are running it in a programming environment like a Jupyter Notebook or R-Studio. That’s ok! The outputs should still be pretty close.

📚 New Tutorial: Scanpy Parameter Iterator
The magic of bioinformatic analysis is that we use maths, statistics and complicated algorithms to deal with huge amounts of data to help us investigate biology. However, analysis is not always straightforward – each tool has various parameters to select. Eventually, we can end up with very different outcomes depending on the values we choose. With analysing scRNA-seq data, it’s almost like you need to know about 75% of your data, then make sure your analysis shows that, for you to then be able to identify the 25% new information.

Single-cell RNA sequencing can be sensitive to both biological and technical variation, which is why preparing your data carefully is an important part of the analysis. You want the results to reflect the interesting differences in expression between cells that relate to their type or state. Other sources of variation can conceal or confound this, making it harder for you to see what is going on.

📚 New Tutorial: Inferring single cell trajectories with Monocle3
This tutorial is a follow-up to the ‘Single-cell RNA-seq: Case Study’. We will use the same sample from the previous tutorials. If you haven’t done them yet, it’s highly recommended that you go through them to get an idea how to prepare a single cell matrix, combine datasets and filter, plot and process scRNA-seq data to get the data in the form we’ll be working on today.

❓ New FAQ: Are Barcodes always on R1 and Sequence data on R2?
No, it really depends on the protocol. In some protocols this convention is swapped, in others the barcodes can be distributed across both reads.

❓ New FAQ: On the Scanpy PlotEmbed step, my object doesn’t have Il2ra or Cd8b1 or Cd8a etc.
Check your Anndata object - it should be 7874 x 14832, i.e. 7874 cells x 14832 genes. Is it actually 2000 genes only (i.e. and therefore missing the above markers)? You may have selected to remove genes at the Scanpy FindVariableGenes step (last toggle, ‘Remove genes not marked as highly variable’ < Select NO.) (Most likely you did this correctly the first time, but later in investigating how many got marked as highly variable, may have run this tool again and removed the nonvariable ones. We’ve updated the text to more clearly prevent this, but you may have gotten caught out!)

📚 New Tutorial: Bulk RNA Deconvolution with MuSiC
Bulk RNA-seq data contains a mixture of transcript signatures from several types of cells. We wish to deconvolve this mixture to obtain estimates of the proportions of cell types within the bulk sample. To do this, we can use single cell RNA-seq data as a reference for estimating the cell type proportions within the bulk data.

❓ New FAQ: Are UMIs not actually unique?
Not strictly, but unique enough. The distribution of UMIs should ideally be uniform so that the chance of any two same UMIs capturing the same transcript (via different amplicons) is small. As barcodes have increased in size, the number of UMIs has also increased allowing for UMIs to reach more or less the same numbers of transcripts.

❓ New FAQ: Why do we only consider highly variable genes?
The non-variable genes are likely housekeeping genes, which are expressed everywhere and are not so useful for distinguishing one cell type from another. However background genes are important to the analysis and are used to generate a background baseline model for measuring the variability of the other genes.

❓ New FAQ: Can RNA-seq techniques be applied to scRNA-seq?
The short answer is ‘no, but yes’. At the beginning this was impossible due to the over-prevalence of dropout events (“zeroes”) in the data complicating the normalisation techniques, but this is not so much of a problem any more with newer methods.

❓ New FAQ: What exactly is a ‘Gene profile’?
Think of it like a fingerprint that some cells exhibit and others don’t. It’s a small collection of genes which are up or down regulated in relation to one another. Their differences are not absolute, but relative. So if CellA has 100 counts of Gene1 and 50 counts of Gene2, this creates a relation of 2:1 between Gene1 and Gene2. If CellB has a 20 counts of Gene1 and 10 counts of Gene2, then they share the same relation. If CellA and CellB share other relations with other genes than this might be enough to say that they share a Gene profile, and will therefore likely cluster together as they describe the same cell type.

❓ New FAQ: Why do we do dimension reduction and then clustering? Why not just cluster on the actual data?
The actual data has tens of thousands of genes, and so tens of thousands of variables to consider. Even after selecting for the most variable genes and the most high quality genes, we can still be left with > 1000 genes. Performing clustering on a dataset with 1000s of variables is possible, but computationally expensive. It is therefore better to perform dimension reduction to reduce the number of variables to a latent representation of these variables. These latent variables are ideally more than 10 but less than 50 to capture the variability in the data to perform clustering upon.

❓ New FAQ: Why is amplification more of an issue in scRNA-seq than RNA-seq?
Due to the extremely small amount of starting material, the initial amplification is likely to be uneven due to the first cycle of amplified products being overrepresented in the second cycle of amplification leading to further bias. In Bulk RNA-seq, the larger selection of RNA molecules to amplify, evens out the odds that any one transcript will be amplified more than others.

You’ve done all the work to make a single cell matrix, with gene counts and mitochondrial counts and buckets of cell metadata from all your variables of interest. Now it’s time to fully process our data, to remove low quality cells, to reduce the many dimensions of data that make it difficult to work with, and ultimately to try to define our clusters and to find our biological meaning and insights! There are many packages for analysing single cell data - Seurat Satija et al. 2015, Scanpy Wolf et al. 2018, Monocle Trapnell et al. 2014, Scater McCarthy et al. 2017, and so forth. We’re working with Scanpy, because currently Galaxy hosts the most Scanpy tools of all of those options.

📚 New Tutorial: Generating a single cell matrix using Alevin
This tutorial will take you from raw FASTQ files to a cell x gene data matrix in AnnData format. What’s a data matrix, and what’s AnnData format? Well you’ll find out! Importantly, this is the first step in processing single cell data in order to start analysing it. Currently you have a bunch of strings of ATGGGCTT etc. in your sequencing files, and what you need to know is how many cells you have and what genes appear in those cells. These steps are the most computationally heavy in the single cell world, as you’re starting with 100s of millions of reads, each with 4 lines of text. Later on in analysis, this data becomes simple gene counts such as ‘Cell A has 4 GAPDHs’, which is a lot easier to store! Because of this data overload, we have downsampled the FASTQ files to speed up the analysis a bit. Saying that, you’re still having to map loads of reads to the massive murine genome, so get yourself a cup of coffee and prepare to analyse!

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is emerging as a promising technology for analysing variability in cell populations. However, the combination of technical noise and intrinsic biological variability makes detecting technical artefacts particularly challenging. Removal of low-quality cells and detection of technical artefacts is critical for accurate downstream analysis.
