py-outrider 0.1.0

Python backend package for OUTRIDER2 R package

py_outrider

py_outrider is a flexible framework for outlier detection in omics datasets.

How to start

After cloning this repository, you can set up your own environment with all required packages using the environment.yml or you run it using the following conda environment: conda activate outrider2

(It is recommended to use Tensorflow>2.0.2, which fixed some rather significant runtime issues.)

Then, run pip install py_outrider to install py_outrider in this environment (or pip install git+https://github.com/gagneurlab/py_outrider.git to install from github). To check available options, run

py_outrider --help

OUTRIDER

For large data sets, the python version has a way faster fitting procedure of outrider as the R version

py_outrider --input count_table.csv --encod_dim 5 --profile outrider --output OUTPUT_FILE --num_cpus 10 

Be careful: input matrix must have the format: rows:samples x columns:genes, must be comma separated (csv), and needs the 1st row and 1st column to contain the feature and sample names, respectively

PROTRIDER

More accurate (but with longer runtime) fitting method for proteins with covariate consideration

py_outrider --input protein_intensities.csv --encod_dim 5 --profile protrider --output OUTPUT_FILE --num_cpus 10 --sample_anno sample_anno.csv -cov batch gender --output_res_table RESULTS_TABLE_FILE

Missing values due to missing detection in the mass-spectrometry must be declared as such, e.g. NAN and must not be kept 0, as this will be considered as true value.

Output

py_outrider outputs an AnnData object containing the data, fit results, p values etc. (by default as an .h5ad file). To read in the output file, and access e.g. adjusted pvalues, run

import anndata
adata = anndata.read("/path/to/py_outrider_results.h5ad")
adata.layers["X_padj"]

Output matrices include:

Name	Description
X_pvalue	calculated p values
X_padj	caluclated adjusted p values
outrider_fc	calculated fold-changes
outrider_l2fc	calculated log2 fold-changes
outrider_zscore	calculated zscores
outrider_delta	calculated delta values (obs - exp)
X_raw	input matrix (same as adata.X)
X_prepro	contains the result of applying the preprocessing function (in adata.uns["prepro_func"]) to X_raw (equal to X_raw if no preprocessing)
X_sf_norm	sizefactor normalization applied to X_prepro
X_transformed	contains the result of applying the transformation function (in adata.uns["transform_func"]) to X_sf_norm (or X_prepro when sf_norm=False)
X_AE_input	input matrix to the AE model, including covariates if requested (X_transformed centered feature-wise if centering=True)
X_predicted_no_trans	output of AE model before reverse transforming (compare with X_transformed)
X_predicted	expected values, output of AE model after reverse transforming and multiplying with sizefactors (compare with X_prepro)
X_latent	computed latent space (samples x encod_dim); access with adata.obsm["X_latent"]
dispersions	calculated dispersions (= theta for NB); access with adata.varm["dispersions"]

Additionally, py_outrider writes a results table to a specified csv file if the option --output_res_tabe /PATH/TO/RESULTS_TABLE.CSV is set.
