I downloaded seurat data from vignette: "https://satijalab.org/seurat/articles/conversion_vignette.html"

pbmc.sce < - as.SingleCellExperiment(pbmc)

I am trying to annotate by calling SingleR() on this dataset and reference (HumanPrimaryCellAtlasData) dataset.

ref.data <- HumanPrimaryCellAtlasData(ensembl=TRUE)
predictions <- SingleR(test=pbmc.sce, assay.type.test=1,  ref=ref.data, labels=ref.data$label.main)

Error in SingleR(test = pbmc.sce, assay.type.test = 1, ref = ref.data, : no common genes between 'test' and 'ref'

I chacked row names are different. For pbmc.sce row names are gene symbol and for ref.data Ensembl gene ID. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for your comment. I tried to change gene symbol to Ensembl gene ID applying this command:

rownames(pbmc.sce) <- uniquifyFeatureNames(rowData(pbmc.sce)$ID, rowData(pbmc.sce)$Symbol)

location <- mapIds(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86, keys=rowData(pbmc.sce)$ID,column="SEQNAME", keytype="GENEID")  

I got the following error massage:

Error in `rownames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c(NA_character_, NA_character_, : missing values not allowed in rownames

Hi Imtiaz,

This should give you the dataset with Ensembl gene IDs, not HGNC gene symbols. Then you can try again with SingleR.

library(dplyr)
library(Seurat)
library(patchwork)

pbmc.data <- Read10X(data.dir = 'filtered_gene_bc_matrices/hg19/')
pbmc <- CreateSeuratObject(
  counts = pbmc.data,
  project = 'pbmc3k',
  min.cells = 3,
  min.features = 200)
pbmc.sce <- as.SingleCellExperiment(pbmc)

require(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86)
ens <- mapIds(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86,
  keys = rownames(pbmc.sce),
  column = 'GENEID',
  keytype = 'SYMBOL')
all(rownames(pbmc.sce) == names(ens))

keep <- !is.na(ens)
ens <- ens[keep]
pbmc.sce <- pbmc.sce[keep,]
rownames(pbmc.sce) <- ens

pbmc.sce
class: SingleCellExperiment 
dim: 13132 2700 
metadata(0):
assays(2): counts logcounts
rownames(13132): ENSG00000228463 ENSG00000228327 ... ENSG00000273748
  ENSG00000278384
rowData names(0):
colnames(2700): AAACATACAACCAC-1 AAACATTGAGCTAC-1 ... TTTGCATGAGAGGC-1
  TTTGCATGCCTCAC-1
colData names(4): orig.ident nCount_RNA nFeature_RNA ident
reducedDimNames(0):
altExpNames(0):

With the last 4 lines of code, we ensure that any failed mappings from HGNC symbol --> Ensembl gene ID are removed.
