Introduction to gimVI

Imputing missing genes in spatial data from sequencing data with gimVI

Note

Running the following cell will install tutorial dependencies on Google Colab only. It will have no effect on environments other than Google Colab.

!pip install --quiet scvi-colab

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager, possibly rendering your system unusable.It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv. Use the --root-user-action option if you know what you are doing and want to suppress this warning.

Preparing the data

In this section, we hold out some of the genes in the spatial dataset in order to test the imputation results

# only use genes in both datasets
seq_data = seq_data[:, spatial_data.var_names].copy()

seq_gene_names = seq_data.var_names
n_genes = seq_data.n_vars
n_train_genes = int(n_genes * train_size)

# randomly select training_genes
rand_train_gene_idx = np.random.choice(range(n_genes), n_train_genes, replace=False)
rand_test_gene_idx = sorted(set(range(n_genes)) - set(rand_train_gene_idx))
rand_train_genes = seq_gene_names[rand_train_gene_idx]
rand_test_genes = seq_gene_names[rand_test_gene_idx]

# spatial_data_partial has a subset of the genes to train on
spatial_data_partial = spatial_data[:, rand_train_genes].copy()

# remove cells with no counts
sc.pp.filter_cells(spatial_data_partial, min_counts=1)
sc.pp.filter_cells(seq_data, min_counts=1)

# setup_anndata for spatial and sequencing data
GIMVI.setup_anndata(spatial_data_partial, labels_key="labels", batch_key="batch")
GIMVI.setup_anndata(seq_data, labels_key="labels")

# spatial_data should use the same cells as our training data
# cells may have been removed by scanpy.pp.filter_cells()
spatial_data = spatial_data[spatial_data_partial.obs_names]

Creating the model and training

model = GIMVI(seq_data, spatial_data_partial)
model.train(max_epochs=200)

Analyzing the results

Getting the latent representations and plotting UMAPs

# get the latent representations for the sequencing and spatial data
latent_seq, latent_spatial = model.get_latent_representation()

# concatenate to one latent representation
latent_representation = np.concatenate([latent_seq, latent_spatial])
latent_adata = anndata.AnnData(latent_representation)

# labels which cells were from the sequencing dataset and which were from the spatial dataset
latent_labels = (["seq"] * latent_seq.shape[0]) + (["spatial"] * latent_spatial.shape[0])
latent_adata.obs["labels"] = latent_labels

# compute umap
sc.pp.neighbors(latent_adata, use_rep="X")
sc.tl.umap(latent_adata)

# save umap representations to original seq and spatial_datasets
seq_data.obsm["X_umap"] = latent_adata.obsm["X_umap"][: seq_data.shape[0]]
spatial_data.obsm["X_umap"] = latent_adata.obsm["X_umap"][seq_data.shape[0] :]

# umap of the combined latent space
sc.pl.umap(latent_adata, color="labels", show=True)

# umap of sequencing dataset
sc.pl.umap(seq_data, color="cell_type")

# umap of spatial dataset
sc.pl.umap(spatial_data, color="str_labels")

Getting Imputation Score

imputation_score() returns the median spearman r correlation over all the cells

# utility function for scoring the imputation


def imputation_score(model, data_spatial, gene_ids_test, normalized=True):
    _, fish_imputation = model.get_imputed_values(normalized=normalized)
    original, imputed = (
        data_spatial.X[:, gene_ids_test],
        fish_imputation[:, gene_ids_test],
    )

    if normalized:
        original = original / data_spatial.X.sum(axis=1).reshape(-1, 1)

    spearman_gene = []
    for g in range(imputed.shape[1]):
        if np.all(imputed[:, g] == 0):
            correlation = 0
        else:
            correlation = spearmanr(original[:, g], imputed[:, g])[0]
        spearman_gene.append(correlation)
    return np.median(np.array(spearman_gene))

        ind = np.argsort(z)
        return x[ind], y[ind], z[ind]

    s = 20

    def transform(data):
