tidybulk, tidySummarizedExperiment and tidySingleCellExperiment are part of the tidytranscriptomics suite that introduces a tidy approach to RNA sequencing data representation and analysis. The roadmap for the development of the tidytranscriptomics packages is shown in the figure below.
Some of the material in Part 1 was adapted from an R for RNA sequencing workshop first run here. Use of the airway dataset was inspired by the DESeq2 vignette.
Measuring gene expression on a genome-wide scale has become common practice over the last two decades or so, with microarrays predominantly used pre-2008. With the advent of next generation sequencing technology in 2008, an increasing number of scientists use this technology to measure and understand changes in gene expression in often complex systems. As sequencing costs have decreased, using RNA sequencing to simultaneously measure the expression of tens of thousands of genes for multiple samples has never been easier. The cost of these experiments has now moved from generating the data to storing and analysing it.
There are many steps involved in analysing an RNA sequencing dataset. Sequenced reads are aligned to a reference genome, then the number of reads mapped to each gene can be counted. This results in a table of counts, which is what we perform statistical analyses on in R. While mapping and counting are important and necessary tasks, today we will be starting from the count data and showing how differential expression analysis can be performed in a friendly way using the Bioconductor package, tidybulk.
First, let’s load all the packages we will need to analyse the data.
Note: you should load the tidybulk and tidySummarizedExperiment libraries after the tidyverse core packages for best integration.

panel.border = element_blank(),
axis.line = element_line(),
panel.grid.major = element_line(size = 0.2),
panel.grid.minor = element_line(size = 0.1),
text = element_text(size = 12),
legend.position = "bottom",
strip.background = element_blank(),
axis.title.x = element_text(margin = margin(t = 10, r = 10, b = 10, l = 10)),
axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(t = 10, r = 10, b = 10, l = 10)),
axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 30, hjust = 1, vjust = 1)
)
)
Here we will perform our analysis using the data from the airway package. The airway data comes from the paper by (Himes et al. 2014); and it includes 8 samples from human airway smooth muscle cells, from 4 cell lines. For each cell line treated (with dexamethasone) and untreated (negative control) a sample has undergone RNA sequencing and gene counts have been generated.

The data in the airway package is a Bioconductor SummarizedExperiment object. For more information see here.
The tidySummarizedExperiment
package enables any SummarizedExperiment object to be displayed and manipulated according to tidy data principles, without affecting any SummarizedExperiment behaviour.
If we load the tidySummarizedExperiment package and then view the airway data it now displays as a tibble. A tibble is the tidyverse table format.

Now we can more easily see the data. The airway object contains information about genes and samples, the first column has the Ensembl gene identifier, the second column has the sample identifier and the third column has the gene transcription abundance. The abundance is the number of reads aligning to the gene in each experimental sample. The remaining columns include sample information. The dex column tells us whether the samples are treated or untreated and the cell column tells us what cell line they are from.
We can still interact with the tidy SummarizedExperiment object using commands for SummarizedExperiment objects.
assays(airway)
#> List of length 1
#> names(1): counts
And now we can also use tidyverse commands, such as filter
, select
and mutate
to explore the tidy SummarizedExperiment object. Some examples are shown below and more can be seen at the tidySummarizedExperiment website here. We can also use the tidyverse pipe %>%
. This ‘pipes’ the output from the command on the left into the command on the right/below. Using the pipe is not essential but it reduces the amount of code we need to write when we have multiple steps. It also can make the steps clearer and easier to see. For more details on the pipe see here.
We can use filter
to choose rows, for example, to see just the rows for the treated samples.

We can use select
to choose columns, for example, to see the sample, cell line and treatment columns.

We can use mutate
to create a column. For example, we could create a new sample_name column that contains shorter sample names. We can remove the SRR1039 prefix that’s present in all of the samples, as shorter names can fit better in some of the plots we will create. We can use mutate
together with str_replace
to remove the SRR1039 string from the sample column.
airway %>%
mutate(sample_name=str_remove(sample, "SRR1039")) %>%
# select columns to view
select(sample, sample_name)

We’ll set up the airway data for our RNA-seq analysis. We’ll create the column with shorter sample names and a column with gene symbols. We can get the gene symbols for these Ensembl gene ids using the Bioconductor annotation package for human, org.Hs.eg.db
.

Genes with very low counts across all libraries provide little evidence for differential expression and they can interfere with some of the statistical approximations that are used later in the pipeline. They also add to the multiple testing burden when estimating false discovery rates, reducing power to detect differentially expressed genes. These genes should be filtered out prior to further analysis.
We can perform the filtering using tidybulk keep_abundant
or identify_abundant
. These functions can use the edgeR filterByExpr
function described in (Law et al. 2016) to automatically identify the genes with adequate abundance for differential expression testing. By default, this will keep genes with ~10 counts in a minimum number of samples, the number of the samples in the smallest group. In this dataset the smallest group size is four (as we have four dex-treated samples versus four untreated). Alternatively, we could use identify_abundant
to identify which genes are abundant or not (TRUE/FALSE), rather than just keeping the abundant ones.

After running keep_abundant
we have a column called .abundant
containing TRUE (identify_abundant
would have TRUE/FALSE).
Scaling of counts, normalisation, is performed to eliminate uninteresting differences between samples due to sequencing depth or composition. A more detailed explanation can be found here. In the tidybulk package the function scale_abundance
generates scaled counts, with scaling factors calculated on abundant (filtered) transcripts and applied to all transcripts. We can choose from different normalisation methods. Here we will use the default, edgeR’s trimmed mean of M values (TMM), (Robinson and Oshlack 2010). TMM normalisation (and most scaling normalisation methods) scale relative to one sample.

After we run scale_abundance
we should see some columns have been added at the end. The counts_scaled
column contains the scaled counts.
We can visualise the difference of abundance densities before and after scaling. As tidybulk output is compatible with tidyverse, we can simply pipe it into standard tidyverse functions such as filter
, pivot_longer
and ggplot
. We can also take advantage of ggplot’s facet_wrap
to easily create multiple plots.
counts_scaled %>%
# Reshaping
pivot_longer(cols = c("counts", "counts_scaled"), names_to = "source", values_to = "abundance") %>%
# Plotting
ggplot(aes(x = abundance + 1, color = sample_name)) +
geom_density() +
facet_wrap(~source) +
scale_x_log10() +
custom_theme
#> tidySummarizedExperiment says: A data frame is returned for independent data analysis.
In this dataset the distributions of the counts are not very different to each other before scaling but scaling does make the distributions more similar. If we saw a sample with a very different distribution we may need to investigate it.
As tidybulk smoothly integrates with ggplot2 and other tidyverse packages it can save on typing and make plots easier to generate. Compare the code for creating density plots with tidybulk versus standard base R below (standard code adapted from (Law et al. 2016)).

By far, one of the most important plots we make when we analyse RNA sequencing data are principal-component analysis (PCA) or multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plots. We reduce the dimensions of the data to identify the greatest sources of variation in the data. A principal components analysis is an example of an unsupervised analysis, where we don’t need to specify the groups. If your experiment is well controlled and has worked well, what we hope to see is that the greatest sources of variation in the data are the treatments/groups we are interested in. It is also an incredibly useful tool for quality control and checking for outliers. We can use the reduce_dimensions
function to calculate the dimensions.

counts_scaled %>%

The samples separate by treatment on PC1 which is what we hope to see. PC2 separates the N080611 cell line from the other samples, indicating a greater difference between that cell line and the others.
An alternative to principal component analysis for examining relationships between samples is using hierarchical clustering. Heatmaps are a nice visualisation to examine hierarchical clustering of your samples. tidybulk has a simple function we can use, keep_variable
, to extract the most variable genes which we can then plot with tidyHeatmap.
counts_scal_PCA %>%
# extract 500 most variable genes
keep_variable(.abundance = counts_scaled, top = 500) %>%
as_tibble() %>%
# create heatmap
heatmap(
.column = sample_name,
.row = feature,
.value = counts_scaled,
transform = log1p
) %>%
add_tile(dex) %>%
add_tile(cell)
#> Getting the 500 most variable genes
#> Warning in add_annotation(., !!.column, type = "tile", palette_discrete
#> = .data@data %>% : tidyHeatmap says: nested/list column are present in your data
#> frame and have been dropped as their unicity cannot be identified by dplyr.
#> Warning in add_annotation(., !!.column, type = "tile", palette_discrete
#> = .data@data %>% : tidyHeatmap says: nested/list column are present in your data
#> frame and have been dropped as their unicity cannot be identified by dplyr.
In the heatmap we can see the samples cluster into two groups, treated and untreated, for three of the cell lines, and the cell line (N080611) again is further away from the others.
Tidybulk enables a simplified way of generating a clustered heatmap of variable genes. Compare the code below for tidybulk versus a base R method.

dgList <- SE2DGEList(airway)
group <- factor(dgList$samples$dex)

tidybulk integrates several popular methods for differential transcript abundance testing: the edgeR quasi-likelihood (Chen, Lun, and Smyth 2016) (tidybulk default method), edgeR likelihood ratio (McCarthy, Chen, and Smyth 2012), limma-voom (Law et al. 2014) and DESeq2 (Love, Huber, and Anders 2014). A common question researchers have is which method to choose. With tidybulk we can easily run multiple methods and compare.
We give test_differential_abundance
our tidybulk counts object and a formula, specifying the column that contains our groups to be compared. If all our samples were from the same cell line, and there were no additional factors contributing variance such as batch differences, we could use the formula ~ dex
. However, each treated and untreated sample is from a different cell line so we add the cell line as an additional factor ~ dex + cell
.

This outputs the columns from each method such as log-fold change (logFC), false-discovery rate (FDR) and probability value (p-value). logFC is log2(treated/untreated).
We can visually compare the significance for all methods. We will notice that there is some difference between the methods.

If we just wanted to run one differential testing method we could do that. The default method is edgeR quasi-likelihood.

Tidybulk enables a simplified way of performing an RNA sequencing differential expression analysis (with the benefit of smoothly integrating with ggplot2 and other tidyverse packages). Compare the code for a tidybulk edgeR analysis versus standard edgeR below.

group <- factor(dgList$samples$dex)

Volcano plots are a useful genome-wide plot for checking that the analysis looks good. Volcano plots enable us to visualise the significance of change (p-value) versus the fold change (logFC). Highly significant genes are towards the top of the plot. We can also colour significant genes e.g. genes with false-discovery rate < 0.05. In order to decide which genes are differentially expressed, we usually take a cut-off of 0.05 on the FDR (or adjusted P value), NOT the raw p-value. This is because we are testing many genes (multiple testing), and the chances of finding differentially expressed genes is very high when you do that many tests. Hence we need to control the false discovery rate, which is the adjusted p-value column in the results table. What this means is that if 100 genes are significant at a 5% false discovery rate, we are willing to accept that 5 will be false positives.

If we are sequencing tissue samples, we may want to know what cell types are present and if there are differences in expression between them. tidybulk
has a deconvolve_cellularity
function that can help us do this.
For this example we will use a subset of the breast cancer dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

With tidybulk, we can easily infer the proportions of cell types within a tissue using one of several published methods (Cibersort (Newman et al. 2015), EPIC (Racle et al. 2017) and llsr (Abbas et al. 2009)). Here we will use Cibersort which provides a default signature called LM22 to define the cell types. LM22 contains 547 genes that identify 22 human immune cell types.

tidybulk
allows streamlined multi-method analysestidybulk
allow easy analyses of cell type compositionA typical scRNA-seq workflow is shown in Background information. We don’t have time in this workshop to go into depth on each step but you can read more about scRNA-seq workflows in the online book Orchestrating Single-Cell Analysis with Bioconductor.
In Part 1 we showed how we can study the cell-type composition of a biological sample using bulk RNA sequencing. Single cell sequencing enables a more direct estimation of cell-type composition and gives greater resolution. For bulk RNA sequencing we need to infer the cell types using the abundance of transcripts in the whole sample, with single-cell RNA sequencing we can directly measure the transcripts in each cell and then classify the cells into cell types.

The single-cell RNA sequencing data used here is 3000 cells in total, subsetted from 20 samples from 10 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmc) datasets. The datasets are from GSE115189/SRR7244582 (Freytag et al. 2018), SRR11038995 [Cai et al. (2020), SCP345 (singlecell.broadinstitute.org), SCP424 (Ding et al. 2020), SCP591 (Karagiannis et al. 2020) and 10x-derived 6K and 8K datasets (support.10xgenomics.com/). The data is in SingleCellExperiment format. SingleCellExperiment is a very popular container of single cell RNA sequencing data.
Similar to what we saw with tidySummarizedExperiment, tidySingleCellExperiment
package enables any SingleCellExperiment object to be displayed and manipulated according to tidy data principles, without affecting any SingleCellExperiment behaviour.
If we load the tidySingleCellExperiment package and then view the pbmc data it displays as a tibble.

A key quality control step performed in single cell analysis is assessment of the proportion of mitochondrial transcripts. A high mitochondrial count can indicate the cell is dead or dying and is thus poor quality and should be filtered out.
A powerful tool tidySingleCellExperiment enables us to use with our single-cell data is tidyverse’s nest. Nesting allows us to easily perform independent analyses on subsets of the data. For example, our data contains 10 single-cell datasets from different sources, we can nest by dataset and analyse the mitochondrial content for each.
To demonstrate the power of nesting we’ll first show the mitochondrial analysis for one of the 10 datasets.
one_dataset <- pbmc %>% filter(dataset =="GSE115189")
We get the chromosomal location for each gene in the dataset so we can identify the mitochondrial genes. We’ll get a warning that some of the ids don’t find a match but it should be just a small proportion.
location <- mapIds(
EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86,
keys = rownames(one_dataset),
column = "SEQNAME",
keytype = "SYMBOL"
)
#> Warning: Unable to map 5313 of 51958 requested IDs.
Next we calculate the mitchondrial content for each cell in the dataset.
mito_info_one_dataset <- perCellQCMetrics(one_dataset, subsets = list(Mito = which(location == "MT")))

We then label the cells with high mitochondrial content as outliers.
mito_info_one_dataset <- mito_info_one_dataset %>%
# Converting to tibble
as_tibble(rownames = "cell") %>%
# Label cells with high mitochondrial content
mutate(high_mitochondrion = isOutlier(subsets_Mito_percent, type = "higher"))

Finally, we join the mitochondrial information back to the original data so we will be able to filter out the cells with high mitochondrial content.

The steps above perform the mitochondrial QC analysis for one dataset. To analyse all 10 datasets we could repeat the steps for each dataset or create a function and apply it to each dataset. However, a more efficient way is to use nesting. We can nest our data by dataset.
pbmc_nested <- pbmc %>%
nest(data = -dataset)
pbmc_nested
#> # A tibble: 10 x 2
#> dataset data
#> <chr> <list>
#> 1 GSE115189 <SnglCllE[,300]>

We will create a table (tibble) with the mitochondrial QC information for each dataset. Here we use map
which is often used in combination with nest
to perform commands on nested data.
location <- mapIds(
EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86,
keys = rownames(pbmc),

As before, we join the mitochondrial information to the original data.

Nesting has allowed us to perform the QC on each dataset in an efficient way.
We can use tidyverse to reshape the data and create beeswarm plots to visualise the mitochondrial content.
pbmc %>%
# Reshaping
pivot_longer(c(detected, sum, subsets_Mito_percent)) %>%
ggplot(aes(
x = dataset, y = value,

theme_bw() +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 50, hjust = 1, vjust = 1))
#> tidySingleCellExperiment says: A data frame is returned for independent data analysis.
In the faceted plot, detected is number of genes in each of the 10 datasets, sum is total counts.
We then proceed to filter out cells with high mitochondrial content.
pbmc <- pbmc %>% filter(!high_mitochondrion)
As we are working with multiple datasets, we need to integrate them and adjust for technical variability between them. Here we’ll nest by dataset (batch), normalise within each batch with multiBatchNorm
and correct for batch effects with fastMNN
.
We proceed with identifying cell clusters.
# Assign clusters to the 'colLabels'
# of the SingleCellExperiment object
colLabels(pbmc) <- # from SingleCellExperiment
pbmc %>%
buildSNNGraph(use.dimred="corrected") %>% # from scran - shared nearest neighbour

Thanks to tidySingleCellExperiment we can interrogate the object with tidyverse commands and use count
to count the number of cells in each cluster.

Besides PCA which is a linear dimensionality reduction, we can apply neighbour aware methods such as UMAP, to better define locally similar cells. We can calculate the first 3 UMAP dimensions using the scater framework.
# Calculate UMAP with scater
pbmc <-
pbmc %>%
runUMAP(ncomponents = 3, dimred="corrected") # from scater
And we can plot the clusters as a 3D plot using plotly. This time we are colouring by estimated cluster labels to visually check the cluster labels.
pbmc %>%
plot_ly(
x = ~`UMAP1`,
y = ~`UMAP2`,
z = ~`UMAP3`,
colors = friendly_cols[1:10],
color = ~label,
size=0.5
)
We can identify cluster markers (genes). As example, we are selecting the top 10 for each cluster. We can then plot a heatmap of those gene markers across cells.
# Identify top 10 markers per cluster
marker_genes <-
pbmc %>%
findMarkers(groups=pbmc$label, assay.type = "reconstructed") %>% # scran
as.list() %>%
map(~ head(.x, 10) %>% rownames()) %>%
unlist()
# Plot heatmap
pbmc %>%
plotHeatmap( # from scater
features=marker_genes,
columns=order(pbmc$label),
colour_columns_by=c("label"),
exprs_values = "reconstructed"
)
We can infer cell type identities (e.g. T cell) using SingleR (Aran et al. 2019) and manipulate the output using tidyverse. SingleR accepts any log-normalised transcript abundance matrix
