TAILIEUCHUNG - GiniClust2: A cluster-aware, weighted ensemble clustering method for cell-type detection

Single-cell analysis is a powerful tool for dissecting the cellular composition within a tissue or organ. However, it remains difficult to detect rare and common cell types at the same time. Here, we present a new computational method, GiniClust2, to overcome this challenge. | Tsoucas and Yuan Genome Biology 2018 19 58 https s13059-018-1431-3 METHOD Open Access GiniClust2 a cluster-aware weighted ensemble clustering method for cell-type detection Daphne Tsoucas1 2 and Guo-Cheng Yuan1 2 Abstract Single-cell analysis is a powerful tool for dissecting the cellular composition within a tissue or organ. However it remains difficult to detect rare and common cell types at the same time. Here we present a new computational method GiniClust2 to overcome this challenge. GiniClust2 combines the strengths of two complementary approaches using the Gini index and Fano factor respectively through a cluster-aware weighted ensemble clustering technique. GiniClust2 successfully identifies both common and rare cell types in diverse datasets outperforming existing methods. GiniClust2 is scalable to large datasets.

A number of methods have been de- paradigm for the systematic characterization of molecular veloped to specifically detect rare cells 9 12 but the signatures associated with biological functions and features used in these methods are distinct from those disease-related alterations but traditionally this could only distinguishing major populations. Existing methods can- be done using bulk samples that often contain significant not satisfactorily detect both large and rare cell popula- cellular heterogeneity. The recent development of single- tions. A naïve approach combining features that are cell technologies has enabled biologists to dissect cellular either associated with common or rare cell populations heterogeneity within a cell population. Such efforts have fails to characterize either type correctly as a mixed fea- led to an increased understanding of cell-type compos- ture space
