Aggregate duplicated transcripts
tidybulk provide the aggregate_duplicates function to aggregate
duplicated transcripts (e.g., isoforms, ensembl). For example, we often
have to convert ensembl symbols to gene/transcript symbol, but in doing
so we have to deal with duplicates. aggregate_duplicates takes a
tibble and column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and
count) as arguments and returns a tibble with transcripts with the
same name aggregated. All the rest of the columns are appended, and
factors and boolean are appended as characters.

Scale counts
We may want to compensate for sequencing depth, scaling the transcript
abundance (e.g., with TMM algorithm, Robinson and Oshlack
doi.org/10.1186/gb-2010-11-3-r25). scale_abundance takes a tibble,
column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and a
method as arguments and returns a tibble with additional columns with
scaled data as <NAME OF COUNT COLUMN>_scaled.

We can easily plot the scaled density to check the scaling outcome. On
the x axis we have the log scaled counts, on the y axes we have the
density, data is grouped by sample and coloured by cell type.

We may want to reduce the dimensions of our data, for example using PCA

symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and a method (e.g., MDS
or PCA) as arguments and returns a tibble with additional columns for
the reduced dimensions.

Rotate dimensions
We may want to rotate the reduced dimensions (or any two numeric columns
really) of our data, of a set angle. rotate_dimensions takes a tibble,
column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and an
angle as arguments and returns a tibble with additional columns for the
rotated dimensions. The rotated dimensions will be added to the original
data set as <NAME OF DIMENSION> rotated <ANGLE> by default, or as
specified in the input arguments.

Test differential abundance
We may want to test for differential transcription between sample-wise
factors of interest (e.g., with edgeR). test_differential_abundance
takes a tibble, column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and
count) and a formula representing the desired linear model as
arguments and returns a tibble with additional columns for the
statistics from the hypothesis test (e.g., log fold change, p-value and
false discovery rate).

Adjust counts
We may want to adjust counts for (known) unwanted variation.
adjust_abundance takes as arguments a tibble, column names (as
symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and a formula
representing the desired linear model where the first covariate is the
factor of interest and the second covariate is the unwanted variation,
and returns a tibble with additional columns for the adjusted counts as
<COUNT COLUMN>_adjusted. At the moment just an unwanted covariated is
allowed at a time.

Deconvolve Cell type composition
We may want to infer the cell type composition of our samples (with the

symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and returns a tibble
with additional columns for the adjusted cell type proportions.

With the new annotated data frame, we can plot the distributions of cell
types across samples, and compare them with the nominal cell type labels
to check for the purity of isolation. On the x axis we have the cell
types inferred by Cibersort, on the y axis we have the inferred
proportions. The data is facetted and coloured by nominal cell types
(annotation given by the researcher after FACS sorting).

Drop redundant transcripts
We may want to remove redundant elements from the original data set
(e.g., samples or transcripts), for example if we want to define
cell-type specific signatures with low sample redundancy.
remove_redundancy takes as arguments a tibble, column names (as
symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and returns a tibble
with redundant elements removed (e.g., samples). Two redundancy
estimation approaches are supported:
- removal of highly correlated clusters of elements (keeping a
representative) with method=“correlation”
- removal of most proximal element pairs in a reduced dimensional space.

Other useful wrappers
The above wrapper streamline the most common processing of bulk RNA
sequencing data. Other useful wrappers are listed above.
From BAM/SAM to tibble of gene counts
We can calculate gene counts (using FeatureCounts; Liao Y et al.,
10.1093/nar/gkz114) from a list of BAM/SAM files and format them into a
tidy structure (similar to counts).
counts = tidybulk_SAM_BAM(
file_names,
genome = "hg38",
isPairedEnd = TRUE,
requireBothEndsMapped = TRUE,
checkFragLength = FALSE,
useMetaFeatures = TRUE
)
From ensembl IDs to gene symbol IDs
We can add gene symbols from ensembl identifiers. This is useful since
different resources use ensembl IDs while others use gene symbol IDs.
This currently works for human and mouse.

Aggregate duplicated transcripts
tidybulk provide the aggregate_duplicates function to aggregate
duplicated transcripts (e.g., isoforms, ensembl). For example, we often
have to convert ensembl symbols to gene/transcript symbol, but in doing
so we have to deal with duplicates. aggregate_duplicates takes a
tibble and column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and
count) as arguments and returns a tibble with transcripts with the
same name aggregated. All the rest of the columns are appended, and
factors and boolean are appended as characters.

Scale counts
We may want to compensate for sequencing depth, scaling the transcript
abundance (e.g., with TMM algorithm, Robinson and Oshlack
doi.org/10.1186/gb-2010-11-3-r25). scale_abundance takes a tibble,
column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and a
method as arguments and returns a tibble with additional columns with
scaled data as <NAME OF COUNT COLUMN>_scaled.

Test differential abundance
We may want to test for differential transcription between sample-wise
factors of interest (e.g., with edgeR). test_differential_abundance
takes a tibble, column names (as symbols; for sample, transcript and

arguments and returns a tibble with additional columns for the
statistics from the hypothesis test (e.g., log fold change, p-value and
false discovery rate).

and returns a tibble with additional columns for the adjusted counts as

Cluster samples
We may want to cluster our data (e.g., using k-means sample-wise).
cluster_elements takes as arguments a tibble, column names (as
symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and returns a tibble
with additional columns for the cluster annotation. At the moment only
k-means clustering is supported, the plan is to introduce more
clustering methods.
k-means
TidyTranscriptomics
wzxhzdk:41
Standard procedure (comparative purpose)
wzxhzdk:42
We can add cluster annotation to the MDS dimension reduced data set and plot.

SNN
Matrix package (v1.3-3) causes an error with Seurat::FindNeighbors used in this method. We are trying to solve this issue. At the moment this option in unaviable.

Drop redundant transcripts
We may want to remove redundant elements from the original data set
(e.g., samples or transcripts), for example if we want to define
cell-type specific signatures with low sample redundancy.
remove_redundancy takes as arguments a tibble, column names (as
symbols; for sample, transcript and count) and returns a tibble
with redundant elements removed (e.g., samples). Two redundancy
estimation approaches are supported:
- removal of highly correlated clusters of elements (keeping a representative) with method=“correlation”
- removal of most proximal element pairs in a reduced dimensional space.
Approach 1

## Getting the 8513 most variable genes
Standard procedure (comparative purpose)

We can visualise how the reduced redundancy with the reduced dimentions look like

counts_SE.norm.MDS |>
remove_redundancy(
method = "reduced_dimensions",
Dim_a_column = `Dim1`,
Dim_b_column = `Dim2`
)
We can visualise MDS reduced dimensions of the samples with the closest pair removed.

Other useful wrappers
The above wrapper streamline the most common processing of bulk RNA sequencing data. Other useful wrappers are listed above.
From BAM/SAM to tibble of gene counts
We can calculate gene counts (using FeatureCounts; Liao Y et al., 10.1093/nar/gkz114) from a list of BAM/SAM files and format them into a tidy structure (similar to counts).
counts = tidybulk_SAM_BAM(
file_names,
genome = "hg38",
isPairedEnd = TRUE,
requireBothEndsMapped = TRUE,
checkFragLength = FALSE,
useMetaFeatures = TRUE
)
From ensembl IDs to gene symbol IDs
We can add gene symbols from ensembl identifiers. This is useful since different resources use ensembl IDs while others use gene symbol IDs. This currently works for human and mouse.

From gene symbol to gene description (gene name in full)
We can add gene full name (and in future description) from symbol identifiers. This currently works for human and mouse.
