Normalization
- NormalizeData(). log1p(value/colSums[cell-idx] *scale_factor). The scale_factor is 10,000 by default and this gives a good range on the normalized values (at least on the pbmc data). The cpp source code of LogNorm() in preprocessing.R.
R> range(log1p(pbmc[['RNA']]@data[,1]/sum(pbmc[['RNA']]@data[,1]) * 10000)) [1] 0.000000 5.753142 R> range(log1p(pbmc[['RNA']]@data[,1]/sum(pbmc[['RNA']]@data[,1]) * 1000)) [1] 0.000000 3.478712 R> range(log1p(pbmc[['RNA']]@data[,1]/sum(pbmc[['RNA']]@data[,1]) * 100000)) [1] 0.000000 8.052868

How many cells are in the human body?
Mitochondrion
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion
- WHAT IS A CELL SIMILAR TOO? In real life cells, the mitochondria is much like a power generator, giving power and energy to a cell, so that it may carry out its other functions.
- Question: Mitochondrial Gene percentage threshold in single cell RNA-Seq. For example, 30% of total mRNA in the heart is mitochondrial due to high energy needs of cardiomyocytes, compared with 5% or less in tissues with low energy demands. For instance, 30% mitochondrial mRNA is representative of a healthy heart muscle cell, but would represent a stressed lymphocyte.
- Seurat::PercentageFeatureSet()
Spike-in
- scran vignette.
- We perform some cursory quality control to remove cells with low total counts or high spike-in percentages.
- An alternative approach is to normalize based on the spike-in counts. The idea is that the same quantity of spike-in RNA was added to each cell prior to library preparation. Size factors are computed to scale the counts such that the total coverage of the spike-in transcripts is equal across cells.
- If we have spike-ins, we can use them to fit the trend (variance-mean relationship) instead.
- Spike-in gene concentrations are known, normalization model existing technical variation by utilizing the difference between these known values and the values observed after processing. "Normalization Methods on Single-Cell RNA-seq Data: An Empirical Survey". Lytal 2020

Normalization
- Introduction to single-cell RNA-seq. If using a 3’ or 5’ droplet-based method, the length of the gene will not affect the analysis because only the 5’ or 3’ end of the transcript is sequenced. However, if using full-length sequencing, the transcript length should be accounted for.
