MOMF

Deconvolution analysis with the bulk RNA-seq data and single-cell RNA-seq data

Installation

### install devtools packages (devtools package)
install.packages("devtools")

### install MOMF package
devtools::install_github("sqsun/MOMF")

Example data

The example data (toy_example.Rdata) is a simulated data.

• sc_counts: scRNA-seq gene expression matrix (#cells x #genes);
• sc_cell_type: cell types for scRNA-seq data (#cells x 1);
• bulk_counts: bulk RNA-seq gene expression matrix (#individuals x #genes).
  

Example Code

Two main functions momf.fit and momf.computeRef are used to do deconvoluation analysis.

### load MOMF package
> library(MOMF)

### load example data
> load("toy_example.RData")

### compute the cell type specific expression level as reference
> priorU <- momf.computeRef(sc_counts, sc_cell_type)

### create the gene list for MOMF 
> GList <- list(X1 = t(sc_counts), X2 = t(bulk_counts))

### run MOMF
> momf_res <- momf.fit(DataX = GList, DataPriorU=priorU, method="KL", rho=2, num_iter=100)

### output the cell type proportions
> cell_prop <- momf_res$cell.prop
> heatmap(cell_prop)
