Sachs: Protein and Phospholipids Expressions

Description

The Sachs dataset measures the expression level of different proteins and phospholipids in human cells. It includes the simultaneous measurements of 11 phosphorylated proteins and phospholipids derived from thousands of individual primary immune system cells, subjected to both general and specific molecular interventions.

 

Task: The dataset can be used to study causal discovery algorithms.

 

Summary: 

  • Size of collection: 14 datasets on 11 features and 707 to 927 observations
  • Task: Causal Discovery Problem
  • Data Type: Continuous Data
  • Dataset Scope: Collection of Datasets
  • Ground Truth: Known Graph
  • Temporal Structure: Static Data
  • License: CC BY (granted by G. Nolan and D. Lauffenburger)
  • Missing Values: No Missing Data

 

Missingness Statement: There are no missing values.

 

Features:

Each sample in each dataset consists of quantitative amounts of each of the following 11 phosphorylated molecules, simultaneously measured from single cells:

Measured molecule Antibody specificity
Raf Phosphorylation at S259
Erk1 and Erk2 Phosphorylation at T202 and Y204
P38 Phosphorylation at T180 and Y182
Jnk Phosphorylation at T183 and Y185
Akt. Phosphorylation at S473
Mek 1 and Mek2 Phosphorylation at S217 and S221
PKA substrates Detects proteins and peptides containing a phospho-Ser/Thr residue with arginine at the -3 position
PKC Detects phosphorylated PKC-α, -βI, -βII, -δ, -ϵ, -η, and -θ isoforms only at C-terminal residue homologous to S660 of PKC-βII
Plcg Phosphorylation at Y783
PIP2 Detects PIP2
PIP3 Detects PIP3

The datasets were collected after a series of stimulatory cues and inhibitory interventions, with cell reactions stopped at 15 minutes after stimulation by fixation, to profile the effects of each condition on the intracellular signaling networks of human primary naïve CD4+ T cells, downstream of CD3, CD28, and LFA-1 activation. The following conditions were used:
