| Résumé: | Advances in single cell transcriptomics have allowed us to study the identity of single cells. This has led to the discovery of new cell types and high resolution tissue maps of them. Technologies that measure multiple modalities of such data add more detail, but they also complicate data integration. We offer an integrated analysis of the spatial location and gene expression profiles of cells to determine their identity. We propose scHybridNMF (single-cell Hybrid Nonnegative Matrix Factorization), which performs cell type identification by combining sparse nonnegative matrix factorization (sparse NMF) with k-means clustering to cluster high-dimensional gene expression and low-dimensional location data. We show that, under multiple scenarios, including the cases where there is a small number of genes profiled and the location data is noisy, scHybridNMF outperforms sparse NMF, k-means, and an existing method that uses a hidden Markov random field to encode cell location and gene expression data for cell type identification. |
