scde：用于分析单细胞RNA序列数据的R包

# Overview of SCDE The `scde` package implements a set of statistical methods for analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data. `scde` fits individual error models for single-cell RNA-seq measurements. These models can then be used for assessment of differential expression between groups of cells, as well as other types of analysis. The `scde` package also contains the `pagoda` framework which applies pathway and gene set overdispersion analysis to identify aspects of transcriptional heterogeneity among single cells. The overall approach to the differential expression analysis is detailed in the following publication: ["Bayesian approach to single-cell differential expression analysis" (Kharchenko PV, Silberstein L, Scadden DT, Nature Methods, doi:10.1038/nmeth.2967)](http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v11/n7/abs/nmeth.2967.html) The overall approach to pathways and gene set overdispersion analysis is detailed in the following publication: ["Characterizing transcriptional heterogeneity through pathway and gene set overdispersion analysis" (Fan J, Salathia N, Liu R, Kaeser G, Yung Y, Herman J, Kaper F, Fan JB, Zhang K, Chun J, and Kharchenko PV, Nature Methods, doi:10.1038/nmeth.3734)](http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.3734.html) **For additional installation information, tutorials, and more, please visit [the SCDE website ☞](http://hms-dbmi.github.io/scde/)** # Sample analyses and images ## Single cell error modeling <table> <tr> <td width=400px> <img src="vignettes/figures/pagoda-cell.model.fits-0.png" width="400px"> </td> <td> <code>scde</code> fits individual error models for single cells using counts derived from single-cell RNA-seq data to estimate drop-out and amplification biases on gene expression magnitude. </td> </tr> </table> ## Differential expression analysis <table> <tr> <td width=250px> <img src="vignettes/figures/scde-diffexp3-1.png" width="250px"> </td> <td> <pre> lb mle ub ce Z cZ Dppa5a 8.075 9.965 11.541 8.075 7.160 5.968 Pou5f1 5.357 7.208 9.178 5.357 7.160 5.968 Gm13242 5.672 7.681 9.768 5.672 7.159 5.968 Tdh 5.829 8.075 10.281 5.829 7.159 5.968 Ift46 5.435 7.366 9.217 5.435 7.150 5.968</pre> <br> <code>scde</code> compares groups of single cells and tests for differential expression, taking into account variability in the single cell RNA-seq data due to drop-out and amplification biases in order to identify more robustly differentially expressed genes. </td> </tr> </table> ## Pathway and gene set overdispersion analysis <table> <tr> <td width=400px> <img src="vignettes/figures/PAGODA.gif" width="400px"> </td> <td> <code>scde</code> contains <code>pagoda</code> routines that characterize aspects of transcriptional heterogeneity in populations of single cells using pre-defined gene sets as well as 'de novo' gene sets derived from the data.
