What's new

  • Upgrade to cellxgene v 1.1.1. After pull, please run "config.sh"
  • Install new modules if needed, e.g., pip install anndata==0.8.0

Cellxgene VIP unleashes full power of interactive visualization and integrative analysis of scRNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, and multiome data

To meet the growing demands from scientists to effectively extract deep insights from single cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and emerging multiome datasets, we developed cellxgene VIP (Visualization In Plugin), a frontend interactive visualization plugin of cellxgene framework, which greatly expanded capabilities of the base tool in the following aspects. First, it generates a comprehensive set of over eighteen commonly used quality control and analytical plots in high resolution with highly customizable settings in real time. Second, it provides more advanced analytical functions to gain insights on cellular compositions and deep biology, such as marker gene identification, differential gene expression analysis, and gene set enrichment analysis. Third, it empowers advanced users to perform analysis in a Jupyter Notebook like environment, dubbed Command Line Interface (CLI) by programming in Python and/or R directly without limiting themselves to functional modules available via graphical user interface (GUI). Finally, it pioneers methods to visualize multi-modal data, such as spatial transcriptomics embedding aligned with histological image on one slice or multiple slices in a grid format, and the latest 10x Genomic Multiome dataset where both DNA accessibility and gene expression in the same cells are measured, under the same framework in an integrative way to fully leverage the functionalities mentioned above. Taken together, the open-source tool makes large scale single cell data visualization and analysis more accessible to biologists in a user-friendly manner and fosters computational reproducibility by simplifying data and code reuse through the CLI. Going forward, it has the potential to become a crowdsourcing ecosystem for the scientific community to contribute even more modules to the Swiss Army knife of single cell data exploration tools.

cellxgene_VIP Figure 1 | cellxgene VIP serves as an ecosystem of analytical modules that provide essential functions for interactive visualization and generation of publication-ready plots. Individual plots were assembled by bioInfograph22 with zoomable feature available at https://bit.ly/2QqdMg3 that is best viewed by Chrome. (a) Multi-tSNE/UMAP plot visually highlights which cells expressing cell markers on selected embedding (UMAP based on harmony batch correction in this example). (b) Dual-gene plot highlights cells express SYT1 and GAD1 (green SYT1 only, red GAD1 only, yellow co-expression of STY1 and GAD1), expression cutoff 2.2. (c) Stacked barplot demonstrates the fraction of each major cell type across each sample (C are Control and MS are MS patients). (d) Trackplot shows expression of lineage marker genes across individual cells in annotated clusters. (e) Violin plot shows the AQP4 gene expression across cell types. (f) Sankey diagram (a.k.a. Riverplot) provides quick and easy way to explore the inter-dependent relationship of variables in the MS snRNAseq dataset8. (g) Density plots shows expression of marker genes across annotated clusters and split across cell types. (h) Stacked violin and Dot plot are the key visualizations of selected cell markers across cell types. They highlight their selective expression and validates the scRNAseq approach and visualization method. (i) Command Line Interface (CLI) exposed by mini Jupyter Notebook to provide maximal flexibility of doing various analytics on the whole or sliced single cell dataset.

Installation instruction

1. Install anaconda if not available on server (https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/linux/)

bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh

2. One step installation for VIPlight (without CLI, Command Line Interface for programming)

Clone the repo to your local,

git clone https://github.com/interactivereport/cellxgene_VIP.git
cd cellxgene_VIP
  • For Linux users
./install_VIPlight.sh
  • For MacOS users (including M1/M2 users)
./install_VIPlight.sh

Users can change the conda env location by changing appPATH in the above script. And lauch the VIP by (all input arguments the same as cellxgene:

./VIPlight launch <path/to/h5ad> --host <IP> -p <port>

And then skip following step 3/4/5/6/

3. Create and enable conda environment

git clone https://github.com/interactivereport/cellxgene_VIP.git
cd cellxgene_VIP

source <path to Anaconda3>/etc/profile.d/conda.sh (Default: /opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh)
conda config --set channel_priority flexible
conda env create -n <env name, such as: VIP> -f VIP.yml (system-wide R) or VIP_conda_R.yml (local R under conda, no root privilege needed)

For Mac User, conda env create -n <env name, such as: VIP> -f VIP.macOS.yml

conda activate <env name, such as: VIP>
or
source activate <env name>

4. Install cellxgene by running config.sh in "cellxgene_VIP" directory

./config.sh
For Mac User, ./config.macOS.sh

5. Install R packages

export LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false
unset R_LIBS_USER
#  ensure that the right instance of R is used. e.g. system-wide: /bin/R or /usr/bin/R ; local R under conda: ~/.conda/envs/VIP_conda_R/bin/R

6. Run cellxgene by specifiying a h5ad file storing scRNA-seq data along with a host and a port, use "ps" to find used ports to spare, see https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/posts/launch for details.

ps -ef | grep cellxgene
Rscript -e 'reticulate::py_config()'
# Run the following command if the output of the above command doesn't point to the Python in your env.
export RETICULATE_PYTHON=`which python`
cellxgene launch --host <xxx> --port <xxx> --disable-annotations --verbose <h5ad file>

7. From web browser (Chrome is preferred, Version 87.0.4280.88 or 87.0.4280.141 is used), access http(s)://host:port

You should be able to see this in Console of Chrome Developer Tools if everything is right. VIP_ready

note: while spinning up the cellxgene from HPC, do NOT use qlogin. ssh directly to the server.

Updating

./update.VIPInterface.sh all # if "interface.html" or "VIPInterface.py" is modified or new source code needs to go to right location, often.

./update.index_template.sh # if jsPanel is modified, very rare.
