QFeatures in a nutshell
26 April 2022
Package
scp 1.6.0
This vignette briefly recaps the main concepts of QFeatures on which
scp relies. More in depth information is to be found in the
QFeatures vignettes.
1 The QFeatures class
The QFeatures class is based on the MultiAssayExperiment class
that holds a collection of SummarizedExperiment (or other classes
that inherits from it) objects termed assays. The assays in a
QFeatures object have a hierarchical relation: proteins are composed
of peptides, themselves produced by spectra, as depicted in figure
below.
Those links are stored as part as the QFeatures object and connect
the assays together. We load an example dataset from the scp package
that is formatted as an QFeatures object and plot those connection.
library(scp)
data("scp1")
plot(scp1)
2 Accessing the data
The QFeatures class contains all the available and metadata. We here
show how to retrieve those different pieces of information.
2.1 Quantitative data
The quantitative data, stored as matrix-like objects, can be accessed
using the assay function. For example, we here extract the
quantitative data for the first MS batch (and show a subset of it):
assay(scp1, "190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG")[1:5, ]

There are three dimensions we want to subset for:
- Assays
- Samples
- Features
Therefore, QFeatures support a three-index subsetting. This is
performed through the simple bracket method [feature, sample, assay].
3.1 Subset assays
Suppose that we want to focus only on the first MS batch
(190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG) for separate processing of the data.
Subsetting the QFeatures object for that assay is simply:
scp1[, , "190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG"]
#> Warning: 'experiments' dropped; see 'metadata'
#> harmonizing input:
#> removing 103 sampleMap rows not in names(experiments)
#> removing 27 colData rownames not in sampleMap 'primary'
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 1 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 11 columnsAn alternative that results in exactly the same output is using the
subsetByAssay method.
subsetByAssay(scp1, "190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG")
#> Warning: 'experiments' dropped; see 'metadata'
#> harmonizing input:
#> removing 103 sampleMap rows not in names(experiments)
#> removing 27 colData rownames not in sampleMap 'primary'
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 1 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 11 columns3.2 Subset samples
Subsetting samples is often performed after sample QC where we want to keep only quality samples and sample of interest. In our example, the different samples are either technical controls or single-cells (macrophages and monocytes). Suppose we are only interested in macrophages, we can subset the data as follows:
scp1[, scp1$SampleType == "Macrophage", ]
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 5 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 7 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 176 rows and 5 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 215 rows and 8 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 539 rows and 20 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 292 rows and 20 columnsAn alternative that results in exactly the same output is using the
subsetByColData method.
subsetByColData(scp1, scp1$SampleType == "Macrophage")
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 5 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 7 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 176 rows and 5 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 215 rows and 8 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 539 rows and 20 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 292 rows and 20 columns3.3 Subset features
Subsetting for features does more than simply subsetting for the
features of interest, it will also take the features that are linked
to that feature. Here is an example, suppose we are interested in the
Q02878 protein.
scp1["Q02878", , ]
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 5 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 9 rows and 11 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 10 rows and 11 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 0 rows and 16 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 11 rows and 38 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 1 rows and 38 columnsYou can see it indeed retrieved that protein from the proteins assay,
but it also retrieved 11 associated peptides in the peptides assay
and 19 associated PSMs in 2 different MS runs.
An alternative that results in exactly the same output is using the
subsetByColData method.
subsetByFeature(scp1, "Q02878")
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 5 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 9 rows and 11 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 10 rows and 11 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 0 rows and 16 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 11 rows and 38 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 1 rows and 38 columnsYou can also subset features based on the rowData. This is performed
by filterFeatures. For example, we want to remove features that are
associated to reverse sequence hits.
filterFeatures(scp1, ~ Reverse != "+")
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 5 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 126 rows and 11 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 132 rows and 11 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 176 rows and 16 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 422 rows and 38 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 0 rows and 38 columnsNote however that if an assay is missing the variable that is used to filter the data (in this case the proteins assay), then all features
for that assay are removed.
You can also subset the data based on the feature missingness using
filterNA. In this example, we filter out proteins with more than
70 % missing data.
filterNA(scp1, i = "proteins", pNA = 0.7)
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 5 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 11 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 176 rows and 11 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 215 rows and 16 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 539 rows and 38 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 105 rows and 38 columns4 Common processing steps
We here provide a list of common processing steps that are encountered
in single-cell proteomics data processing and that are already
available in the QFeatures package.
All functions below require the user to select one or more assays from
the QFeatures object. This is passed through the i argument. Note
that some datasets may contain hundreds of assays and providing the
assay selection manually can become cumbersome. We therefore suggest
the user to use regular expression (aka regex) to chose from the
names() of the QFeautres object. A detailed cheatsheet about regex
in R can be found
here.
4.1 Missing data assignment
It often occurs that in MS experiements, 0 values are not true zeros
but rather signal that is too weak to be detected. Therefore, it is
advised to consider 0 values as missing data (NA). You can use
zeroIsNa to automatically convert 0 values to NA in assays of
interest. For instance, we here replace missing data in the peptides
assay.
table(assay(scp1, "peptides") == 0)
#>
#> FALSE TRUE
#> 5611 1509
scp1 <-zeroIsNA(scp1, "peptides")
table(assay(scp1, "peptides") == 0)
#>
#> FALSE
#> 56114.2 Feature aggregation
Shotgun proteomics analyses, bulk as well as single-cell, acquire and
quantify peptides. However, biological inference is often performed at
protein level. Protein quantitations can be estimated through feature
aggregation. This is performed by aggregateFeatures, a function that
takes an assay from the Qfeatures object and that aggregates its
features with respect to a grouping variable in the rowData (fcol)
and an aggregation function.
aggregateFeatures(scp1, i = "190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG", fcol = "protein",
name = "190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG_aggr",
fun = MsCoreUtils::robustSummary)
#> Your row data contain missing values. Please read the relevant
#> section(s) in the aggregateFeatures manual page regarding the effects
#> of missing values on data aggregation.
#> Warning in rlm.default(X, expression, ...): 'rlm' failed to converge in 20 steps
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 6 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 11 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 176 rows and 11 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 215 rows and 16 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 539 rows and 38 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 292 rows and 38 columns
#> [6] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG_aggr: SingleCellExperiment with 100 rows and 11 columnsYou can see that the aggregated function is added as a new assay to
the QFeatures object. Note also that, under the hood,
aggregateFeatures keeps track of the relationship between the
features of the newly aggregated assay and its parent.
4.3 Normalization
An ubiquituous step that is performed in biological data analysis is
normalization that is meant to remove undesired variability and to
make different samples comparable. The normalize function offers an
interface to a wide variety of normalization methods. See
?MsCoreUtils::normalize_matrix for more details about the available
normalization methods. Below, we normalize the samples so that they
are mean centered.
normalize(scp1, "proteins", method = "center.mean",
name = "proteins_mcenter")
#> An instance of class QFeatures containing 6 assays:
#> [1] 190321S_LCA10_X_FP97AG: SingleCellExperiment with 166 rows and 11 columns
#> [2] 190222S_LCA9_X_FP94BM: SingleCellExperiment with 176 rows and 11 columns
#> [3] 190914S_LCB3_X_16plex_Set_21: SingleCellExperiment with 215 rows and 16 columns
#> [4] peptides: SingleCellExperiment with 539 rows and 38 columns
#> [5] proteins: SingleCellExperiment with 292 rows and 38 columns
#> [6] proteins_mcenter: SingleCellExperiment with 292 rows and 38 columnsOther custom normalization can be applied using the sweep method,
where normalization factors have to be supplied manually. As an example,
we here normalize the samples using a scaled size factor.

The QFeatures package also provide the logTransform function to
facilitate the transformation of the quantitative data. We here show
its usage by transforming the protein data using a base 2 logarithm
with a pseudo-count of one.
logTransform(scp1, i = "proteins", base = 2, pc = 1,

#> [6] proteins_log: SingleCellExperiment with 292 rows and 38 columns4.5 Imputation
Finally, QFeatures offers an interface to a wide variety of
imputation methods to replace missing data by estimated values. The
list of available methods is given by ?MsCoreUtils::impute_matrix.
We demonstrate the use of this function by replacing missing data
using KNN imputation.
anyNA(assay(scp1, "proteins"))
#> [1] TRUE
scp1 <- impute(scp1, i = "proteins", method ="knn", k = 3)
#> Loading required namespace: impute
#> Warning in knnimp(x, k, maxmiss = rowmax, maxp = maxp): 284 rows with more than 50 % entries missing;
#> mean imputation used for these rows
anyNA(assay(scp1, "proteins"))
#> [1] FALSE5 Data visualization
Visualization of the feature and sample metadata is rather
straightforward since those are stored as tables (see section
Accessing the data). From those tables, any visualization tool can
be applied. Note however that using ggplot2 require data.frames or
tibbles but rowData and colData are stored as DFrames objects.
You can easily convert one data format to another. For example, we
plot the parental ion fraction (measure of spectral purity) for each
of the three MS batches.
rd <- rbindRowData(scp1, i = 1:3)
library("ggplot2")
ggplot(data.frame(rd)) +
aes(y = PIF,
x = assay) +
geom_boxplot()
#> Warning: Removed 64 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).
Combining the metadata and the quantitative data is more challenging
since the risk of data mismatch is increased. The QFeatures package
therefore provides th longFormat function to transform a QFeatures
object in a long DFrame table. For instance, we plot the
quantitative data distribution for the first assay according to the
acquisition channel index and colour with respect to the sample type.
Both pieces of information are taken from the colData, so we provide
them as colvars.
lf <- longFormat(scp1[, , 1],
colvars = c("SampleType", "Channel"))
#> Warning: 'experiments' dropped; see 'metadata'
#> harmonizing input:
#> removing 103 sampleMap rows not in names(experiments)
#> removing 27 colData rownames not in sampleMap 'primary'
ggplot(data.frame(lf)) +
aes(x = Channel,
y = value,
colour = SampleType) +
geom_boxplot()
A more in-depth tutorial about data visualization from a QFeatures
object is provided in the QFeautres visualization
vignette.
