Infer Ploidy of Single Cells.

scPloidy

scPloidy is an R package to compute ploidy of single cells (or nuclei) based on single-cell (or single-nucleus) ATAC-seq data. In ATAC-seq, open chromatin regions are excised and sequenced. For any site on the genome, ATAC-seq could read 0, 1 or 2 DNA fragments, if the cell was diploid. If the cell was tetraploid, ATAC-seq could read 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 fragments from the same site. This is the basic idea used in scPloidy. We model the depth of DNA sequencing at one site by binomial distribution.

Installation in R

Beforehand, these packages need to be installed from Bioconductor:

if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(c("GenomicRanges", "IRanges", "Rsamtools"))

Install from CRAN:

install.packages('scPloidy')

In order to install the developmental version:

install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('fumi-github/scPloidy', build_vignettes = TRUE)

To uninstall package:

remove.packages('scPloidy')

Usage

library(scPloidy)
vignette('intro', package = 'scPloidy')
