h5ad filesThe purpose of this package is to make it easy to query the Human Cell Atlas Data Portal via their data browser API. Visit the Human Cell Atlas for more information on the project.
Evaluate the following code chunk to install packages required for this vignette.
## install from Bioconductor if you haven't already
pkgs <- c("httr", "dplyr", "LoomExperiment", "hca")
pkgs_needed <- pkgs[!pkgs %in% rownames(installed.packages())]
BiocManager::install(pkgs_needed)Load the packages into your R session.
library(httr)
library(dplyr)
library(LoomExperiment)
library(hca)To illustrate use of this package, consider the task of downloading a ‘loom’ file summarizing single-cell gene expression observed in an HCA research project. This could be accomplished by visiting the HCA data portal (at https://data.humancellatlas.org/explore) in a web browser and selecting projects interactively, but it is valuable to accomplish the same goal in a reproducible, flexible, programmatic way. We will (1) discover projects available in the HCA Data Coordinating Center that have loom files; and (2) retrieve the file from the HCA and import the data into R as a ‘LoomExperiment’ object. For illustration, we focus on the ‘Single cell transcriptome analysis of human pancreas reveals transcriptional signatures of aging and somatic mutation patterns’ project.
Use projects() to retrieve the first 200 projects in the HCA’s
default catalog.

## Description
## To investigate the relationship between genetic and transcriptional
## heterogeneity in a context of cancer progression, we devised a
## computational approach called HoneyBADGER to identify copy number
## variation and loss-of-heterozygosity in individual cells from
## single-cell RNA-sequencing data. By combining allele frequency and
## expression magnitude deviations, HoneyBADGER is able to infer the
## presence of subclone-specific alterations in individual cells and
## reconstruct subclonal architecture. Also HoneyBADGER to analyze
## single cells from a progressive multiple myeloma (MM) patient to
## identify major genetic subclones that exhibit distinct
## transcriptional signatures relevant to cancer progression.

data portal. Construct a filter to restrict the files to loom files
from the project we are interested in.

h5ad filesThis example walks through the process of file discovery and retrieval
in a little more detail, using h5ad files created by the Python
AnnData analysis software and available for some experiments in the
default catalog.
The first challenge is to understand what file formats are available from the HCA. Obtain a tibble describing the ‘facets’ of the data, the number of terms used in each facet, and the number of distinct values used to describe projects.

it as a ‘list-of-lists’
projects_list <- projects(size = 200, as = "list")This is a complicated structure. We will use lengths(), names(),

of results. It is necessary to ‘page’ through these to see all of
them. We illustrate pagination with projects(), retrieving only 30 projects.
Pagination works for the default tibble output

(pagination) project, the filters (termFacets) available, and
details of the project (hits).
