University of North Carolina, Chapel Hi…

I am new to using Bioconductor. I have a SingleCellExperiment object, sce, that contains rownames in SYMBOL format, and rowData in ENSEMBL format. Using TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene, I wish to find the chromosomal location for each gene (for downstream mitochondrial gene controlling) and store these CDSCHROM values as a new vector within rowData. The code I have tried looks like this this:

location <- mapIds(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene, keys=rowData(sce)$ENSEMBL, column="CDSCHROM", keytype=???) rowData(sce)$CHR <- location

However, I do not understand how to fill in the keytype argument. I see that "ENSEMBL" is not a valid keytype, so how would I go about this problem?

Seeing that "GENEID" is a valid keytype, I thought about doing the following:

geneidSymbols <- mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db, keys=rownames(sce), keytype="SYMBOL", column="GENEID") rowData(sce)$GENEID <- geneidSymbols

and then using the Gene ID's as my keys in the new code. But "GENEID" is not a valid column type for org.Hs.eg.db, so that did not work either.

I would appreciate any suggestions as I am new to Bioconductor and scRNA-seq in general. Thank you!

You might try looking at Organism.dplyr which combines the TxDb and OrgDb information allowing to query and filter based on data from both. 

library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
library(Organism.dplyr)
src <- src_organism("TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene")
src_tbls(src)
colnames(tbl(src, "id"))
keytypes(src)

If you are using Ensembl IDs, then you should probably not use NCBI-based data to say where your genes are located. There are any number of disagreements between EBI/EMBL and NCBI about how many genes there are, where they are, etc, and in general that is orthogonal to what you are trying to do, so why make your life more complicated?

Also, not being familiar with SingleCellExperiment containers, I am sort of shocked (shocked I say!) that you could have a SingleCellExperiment object that doesn't have gene locations as part of the rowData. How did you map reads to genes without already having those data? And how were you able to generate the SingleCellExperiment without those data being added? Have you looked at rowRanges(sce) to see if they are there?

Anyway, if you actually don't have the gene locations, you probably want to use one of Johannes Rainer's EnsemblDb objects to add the gene locations.

And then you can add those data to your SingleCellExperiment. You will have to look at some documentation as to how one accomplishes that.

Just a small comment to James' excellent answer: if your alignment/gene annotations were based on a specific Ensembl release, you should also ensure that you are loading/adding annotations from the same release. Example, your object is based on Ensembl release 91 data, then you would want to get the corresponding Ensembl annotations from AnnotationHub:

library(AnnotationHub)
ah <- AnnotationHub()
query(ah, "EnsDb.Hsapiens.v91")
AnnotationHub with 1 record
# snapshotDate(): 2019-04-03 
# names(): AH60773
# $dataprovider: Ensembl
# $species: Homo sapiens
# $rdataclass: EnsDb
# $rdatadateadded: 2017-12-21
# $title: Ensembl 91 EnsDb for Homo Sapiens
# $description: Gene and protein annotations for Homo Sapiens based on Ensem...
# $taxonomyid: 9606
# $genome: GRCh38
# $sourcetype: ensembl
# $sourceurl: http://www.ensembl.org
# $sourcesize: NA
# $tags: c("EnsDb", "Ensembl", "Gene", "Transcript", "Protein",
#   "Annotation", "91", "AHEnsDbs") 
# retrieve record with 'object[["AH60773"]]' 
edb <- ah[["AH60773"]]

Now it depends what type of annotations you want to extract. If you're just looking for gene annotations (i.e. Ensembl gene ID to gene names/symbols) you could use:

> gene_df <- genes(edb, return.type = "data.frame")
> head(gene_df)
           gene_id   gene_name                       gene_biotype

With the return.type = "data.frame" you specify that you want to get a simple data.frame back instead of the default GRanges object.

Hi James - to answer the question you asked about how we got reads: our data is already in gene symbol format. E.g. data looks like this. We didn't have to map reads to genes because we are accessing another data source that directly provides this information:
