Review and Analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing cell-type identification and annotation tools / Granskning och Analys av enkelcells-RNA-sekvenseringsverktyg för identifiering och annotering av celltyper

Raoux, Corentin January 2021 (has links)
Single-cell RNA-sequencing makes possible to study the gene expression at the level of individual cells. However, one of the main challenges of the single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis today, is the identification and annotation of cell types. The current method consists in manually checking the expression of genes using top differentially expressed genes and comparing them with related cell-type markers available in scientific publications. It is therefore time-consuming and labour intensive. Nevertheless, in the last two years,numerous automatic cell-type identification and annotation tools which use different strategies have been created. But, the lack of specific comparisons of those tools in the literature and especially for immuno-oncologic and oncologic purposes makes difficult for laboratories and companies to know objectively what are the best tools for annotating cell types. In this project, a review of the current tools and an evaluation of R tools were carried out.The annotation performance, the computation time and the ease of use were assessed. After this preliminary results, the best selected R tools seem to be ClustifyR (fast and rather precise) and SingleR (precise) for the correlation-based tools, and SingleCellNet (precise and rather fast) and scPred (precise but a lot of cell types remains unassigned) for the supervised classificationtools. Finally, for the marker-based tools, MAESTRO and SCINA are rather robust if they are provided with high quality markers.
