A highly resolved integrated single-cell atlas of HPV-negative Head and Neck Cancer

  • 1. ROR icon Boston University

Description

A single cell transcriptomic atlas of HPV-negative Head and Neck Squamous Carcinomas.

The atlas is a Seurat (v 4.1.0) object stored as a .rds file, which can be loaded in R.

The data can be loaded into R as follows:

atlas <- readRDS('FullHNSCCAtlas.rds')

The immune and nonimmune compartments can be separated as follows:

immune <- subset(atlas, cells = rownames(atlas@meta.data[atlas@meta.data$Compartment == "Immune",]))
immune[["umap"]]@cell.embeddings <- as.matrix(immune@meta.data[,c("CompartmentUMAP1_Coordinates", "CompartmentUMAP2_Coordinates")])
colnames(x = immune[["umap"]]@cell.embeddings) <- paste0("UMAP_", 1:2)


nonimmune <- subset(atlas, cells = rownames(atlas@meta.data[atlas@meta.data$Compartment == "nonImmune",]))
nonimmune[["umap"]]@cell.embeddings <- as.matrix(nonimmune@meta.data[,c("CompartmentUMAP1_Coordinates", "CompartmentUMAP2_Coordinates")])
colnames(x = nonimmune[["umap"]]@cell.embeddings) <- paste0("UMAP_", 1:2)
