1 Vignette Version
This vignette was built using CoGAPS version:
packageVersion("CoGAPS")## [1] '3.28.0'2 Introduction
Coordinated Gene Association in Pattern Sets (CoGAPS) is a technique for latent space learning in gene expression data. CoGAPS is a member of the Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) class of algorithms. NMFs factorize a data matrix into two related matrices containing gene weights, the Amplitude (A) matrix, and sample weights, the Pattern (P) Matrix. Each column of A or row of P defines a feature and together this set of features defines the latent space among genes and samples, respectively. In NMF, the values of the elements in the A and P matrices are constrained to be greater than or equal to zero. This constraint simultaneously reflects the non-negative nature of gene expression data and enforces the additive nature of the resulting feature dimensions, generating solutions that are biologically intuitive to interpret (Seung and Lee (1999)).
3 Software Setup
CoGAPS can be installed directly from the FertigLab Github Repository using R devtools or from Bioconductor
devtools::install_github("FertigLab/CoGAPS")
# To install via BioConductor:
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("FertigLab/CoGAPS")When CoGAPS has installed correctly, you will see this message:
** installing vignettes
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
** checking absolute paths in shared objects and dynamic libraries
** testing if installed package can be loaded from final location
** testing if installed package keeps a record of temporary installation path
* DONE (CoGAPS)
4 Running CoGAPS on Simulated Toy Data
We first give a walkthrough of the package features using a simple, simulated data set. In later sections we provide two example workflows on real data sets.
Import the CoGAPS library with the following command:
library(CoGAPS)To ensure CoGAPS is working properly, we will first load in the simulated toy data for a test run.
Single-cell data will be loaded later in this file.
data('modsimdata')

Since this is a small dataset, the expected runtime is only about 5-10 seconds.
The only required argument to CoGAPS is the data set. This can be a
matrix, data.frame, SummarizedExperiment, SingleCellExperiment
or the path of a file (tsv, csv, mtx, gct) containing the data.

We now examine the result object.
4.1 Analyzing the Toy Data CoGAPS result
CoGAPS returns a object of the class CogapsResult which inherits from
LinearEmbeddingMatrix (defined in the SingleCellExperiment package).
CoGAPS stores the lower dimensional representation of the samples (P
matrix) in the sampleFactors slot and the weight of the features (A
matrix) in the featureLoadings slot. CogapsResult also adds two of
its own slots - factorStdDev and loadingStdDev which contain the
standard deviation across sample points for each matrix.
There is also some information in the metadata slot such as the
original parameters and value for the Chi-Sq statistic. In general, the
metadata will vary depending on how CoGAPS was called in the first
place. The package provides these functions for querying the metadata in
a safe manner:

We now continue with single-cell analysis.

Timing can take several hours and scales nlog(n) based on dataset size, as well as the parameter values set for ‘nPatterns’ and ‘nIterations’. Time is increased when learning more patterns, when running more iterations, and when running a larger dataset, with iterations having the largest variable impact on the runtime of the NMF function.

Now that the CoGAPS run is complete, learned patterns can be investigated. Due to the stochastic nature of the MCMC sampling in CoGAPS and long run time, it is generally a good idea to immediately save your CoGAPS result object to a file to have (Box 17), then read it in for downstream analysis.
If you wish to load and examine a precomputed result object, please do so by:
# OPTION: download precomputed CoGAPS result object from Zenodo
#caches download of the hosted file
cogapsresult_url <- "https://zenodo.org/record/7709664/files/cogapsresult.Rds"
cogapsresult <- BiocFileCache::bfcrpath(bfc, cogapsresult_url)
cogapsresult <- readRDS(cogapsresult)To load your own result, simply edit the file path:
library(CoGAPS)
cogapsresult <- readRDS("../data/pdac_epi_cogaps_result.Rds")It is recommended to immediately visualize pattern weights on a UMAP because you will immediately see whether they are showing strong signal and make common sense.
Since pattern weights are all continuous and nonnegative, they can be used to color a UMAP in the same way as one would color by gene expression. The sampleFactors matrix is essentially just nPatterns different annotations for each cell, and featureLoadings is likewise just nPatterns annotations for each gene. This makes it very simple to incorporate pattern data into any data structure and workflow.
6.1 Load CoGAPS pattern information into Seurat object
To store CoGAPS patterns as an Assay within a Seurat object (recommended):
library(Seurat)
# make sure pattern matrix is in same order as the input data
patterns_in_order <-t(cogapsresult@sampleFactors[colnames(pdac_data),])
# add CoGAPS patterns as an assay
pdac_data[["CoGAPS"]] <- CreateAssayObject(counts = patterns_in_order)6.2 Plot patterns on an embedding
With the help of Seurat’s FeaturePlot function, we generate a UMAP embedding of the cells colored by the intensity of each pattern.
DefaultAssay(pdac_data) <- "CoGAPS"
pattern_names = rownames(pdac_data@assays$CoGAPS)
library(viridis)
color_palette <- viridis(n=10)
FeaturePlot(pdac_data, pattern_names, cols=color_palette, reduction = "umap") & NoLegend()7 Pattern Markers
We provide a patternMarkers() CoGAPS function to find markers (i.e. genes or
samples) most associated with each pattern. It returns a per-pattern
dictionary of markers, their ranking, and their distance “score” for each
pattern.
7.1 Marker assignment methods
patternMarkers() can run in two marker selection modes, controlled with
the “threshold” parameter, which can be set to “all” or “cut”. In both cases
the ranking of markers is essentially sorting Euclidian distances between a
candidate marker and a synthetic one-row matrix that represents an “ideal”
pattern.
If threshold="all" (default), each gene is treated as a marker of exactly one pattern,
whichever it is most strongly associated with, based on the distance metric.
For the threshold="cut", the candidates are sorted by best intra-pattern rank
and are added to markers list unitil a certain rank is reached. This rank
corresponds to the first occurence of intra-pattern rank being worse than the
inter-pattern rank. This mode usually yields much less markers per pattern, and
the same marker can appear in multiple patterns.
7.2 Axis selection
The axis parameter can be used to select the axis along which the markers are
selected. By default, axis=1, which means that the feature (i.e. gene) markers
are estimated. If axis=2, the sample markers are estimated.
The three components of the returned dictionary pm are:
7.3 patternMarkers() Output
Output is a list of three components:
PatternMarkers:
- A list of marker genes for each pattern
PatternRanks:
- Each marker gene ranked by association for each pattern
- Whole natural numbers, assigning each marker a place in the rank for each pattern.
- Lower rank indicates higher association and vice versa.
PatternScores:
- Scores describe how strongly a marker gene is associated with a pattern.
- A higher score value indicates the marker gene is less associated with the pattern (as score is a distance) metric, and vice versa.
- Scores have nonnegative values mostly falling between 0 and 2
7.4 Example
pm <- patternMarkers(cogapsresult)8 Pattern GSEA
One way to explore and use CoGAPS patterns is to conduct gene set enrichment analysis by functionally annotating the genes which are significant for each pattern. The getPatternGeneSet function provides a wrapper around the gsea and fora methods from fgsea for gene set enrichment in CoGAPS pattern amplitudes or gene set overrepresentation in pattern markers, respectively. Gene sets for testing are provided as a list to allow testing of gene sets from many sources, such as hallmark gene sets from msigDB or gene ontology sets from org.Hs.eg.db.
To perform gene set overrepresentation on pattern markers, please run:
hallmark_ls <- list(

To generate statistics on the association between certain sample groups and patterns, we provide a wrapper function, called MANOVA.This will allow us to explore if the patterns we have discovered lend to statistically significant differences in the sample groups. We will first load in the original data (if not already done earlier).
Then, create a new matrix called “interestedVariables” consisting of the metadata variables of interest in conducting analysis on. Lastly, call the wrapper function, passing in the result object as well.
# create dataframe of interested variables
interestedVariables <- cbind(pdac_data@meta.data[["nCount_RNA"]], pdac_data@meta.data[["nFeature_RNA"]])
# call cogaps manova wrapper
