R implementation of the PhenoGraph algorithm

Rphenograph

A simple R implementation of the PhenoGraph [1] algorithm, which is a clustering method designed for high-dimensional single-cell data analysis. It works by creating a graph ("network") representing phenotypic similarities between cells by calculating the Jaccard coefficient between nearest-neighbor sets, and then identifying communities using the well known Louvain method in this graph.

Installation

To install the latest version for Windows from binary (no compilation, no Rtools), use:

install.packages("https://github.com/i-cyto/Rphenograph/releases/download/Rphenograph_0.99.1.9004/Rphenograph_0.99.1.9004.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

To install the latest version from the github repository, use:

if(!require(devtools)){
  install.packages("devtools") # If not already installed
}
devtools::install_github("i-cyto/Rphenograph")

Usage

After installing the package, use the following code to run a simple example (to install, see below).

iris_unique <- unique(iris) # Remove duplicates
data <- as.matrix(iris_unique[,1:4])
Rphenograph_out <- Rphenograph(data, k = 45)
modularity(Rphenograph_out[[2]])
membership(Rphenograph_out[[2]])
iris_unique$phenograph_cluster <- factor(membership(Rphenograph_out[[2]]))
ggplot(iris_unique, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, col=Species, shape=phenograph_cluster)) + geom_point(size = 3)+theme_bw()
