Single-cell RNA sequencing has become a common approach to trace developmental processes of cells, however, using exogenous barcodes is more direct than predicting from expression profiles recently, based on that, as gene-editing technology matures, combining this technological method with exogenous barcodes can generate more complex dynamic information for single-cell. In this application note, we introduce an R package: LinTInd for reconstructing a tree from alleles generated by the genome-editing tool known as CRISPR for a moderate time period based on the order in which editing occurs, and for sc-RNA seq, ScarLin can also quantify the similarity between each cluster in three ways.
Via GitHub
devtools::install_github("mana-W/LinTInd")
Via Bioconductor
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("LinTInd")
library(LinTInd)
The input for LinTInd consists three required files:
and an optional file:
data<-paste0(system.file("extdata",package = 'LinTInd'),"/CB_UMI")
fafile<-paste0(system.file("extdata",package = 'LinTInd'),"/V3.fasta")
cutsite<-paste0(system.file("extdata",package = 'LinTInd'),"/V3.cutSites")
celltype<-paste0(system.file("extdata",package = 'LinTInd'),"/celltype.tsv")
data<-read.table(data,sep="\t",header=TRUE)
ref<-ReadFasta(fafile)
cutsite<-read.table(cutsite,col.names = c("indx","start","end"))
celltype<-read.table(celltype,header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
For the sequence file, only the column contain reads’ strings is requeired, the cell barcodes and UMIs are both optional.

In the first step, we shold use FindIndel()
to alignment and find indels, and the function IndelForm()
will help us to generate an array-form string for each read.
scarinfo<-FindIndel(data=data,scarfull=ref,scar=cutsite,indel.coverage="All",type="test",cln=1)
scarinfo<-IndelForm(scarinfo,cln=1)
Then for single-cell sequencing, we shold define a final-version of array-form string for each cell use IndelIdents()
, there are three method are provided :
For bulk sequencing, in this step, we will generate a “cell barcode” for each read.
cellsinfo<-IndelIdents(scarinfo,method.use="umi.num",cln=1)
After define the indels for each cell, we can use IndelPlot()
to visualise them.
IndelPlot(cellsinfo = cellsinfo)
We can use the function TagProcess()
to extract indels for cells/reads. The parameter Cells is optional.
tag<-TagProcess(cellsinfo$info,Cells=celltype)
And if the annotation of each cells are provided, we can also use TagDist()
to calculate the relationship between each group in three way:
The heatmap of this result will be saved as a pdf file.
tag_dist=TagDist(tag,method = "Jaccard")
## Using Cell.type as value column: use value.var to override.
## Aggregation function missing: defaulting to length

## E 0.2058824 0.4117647 0.7500000 0.6666667 1.0000000
In the laste part, we can use BuildTree()
to Generate an array generant tree.
treeinfo<-BuildTree(tag)
## Using Cell.num as value column: use value.var to override.
Finally, we can use the function PlotTree()
to visualise the tree created before.
plotinfo<-PlotTree(treeinfo = treeinfo,data.extract = "TRUE",annotation = "TRUE")
## Using tags as id variables
plotinfo$p
