## Plots and Scripts for scRNA-seq analysis
66

7-
scRNA-seq analysis becomes a standard technique to study biological systems.
8-
With decreasing costs for scRNA-seq experiments, experiments also become more and more complex.
9-
While the typical scRNA-seq analysis frameworks provide functionalities for the analysis of even such data sets, the workflow involves the use of a chain of provided functions.
10-
Moreover, default plots already provide specific insight into such complex data sets, but should also be enhanced, such that camera-ready fully interpretable plots are provided.
11-
12-
We thus describe here a collection of plotting and analysis scripts for use in Seurat-based scRNA-seq data analyses.
13-
We first provide a collection of script blocks which allows for an easy basic analysis of scRNA-seq from Seurat object creation, filtering over dataset integration.
14-
Subsequently, we provide code blocks for the easy differential analysis of the obtained data sets, including visualizations.
15-
Finally, several visualizations not common to any scRNA-seq analysis framework are presented, such as the enhanced Heatmap and DotPlot.
16-
These, particularly, allow the user to specify how the shown values should be scaled, allowing the creation of condition-wise plots.

18-
With the PLO(SC)² framework the data analysis of scRNA-seq experiments becomes more stream-lined.
19-
This way, fellow researchers can directly apply the methods on their data.

Background scRNA-seq analysis has become a standard technique for studying biological systems.
8+
As costs decrease, scRNA-seq experiments become increasingly complex. While typical scRNA-seq
9+
analysis frameworks provide basic functionality to analyze such data sets, downstream analysis and
10+
visualization become a bottleneck. Standard plots are not always suitable to provide specific insight into
11+
such complex data sets and should be extended to provide camera-ready, meaningful plots.
12+
13+
Results With PLO(SC)², a collection of plotting and analysis scripts for use in Seurat-based scRNA-seq
14+
data analyses is presented, which are accessible for custom script-based analyses or within an R shiny
15+
app. The analysis scripts mainly provide a collection of code blocks which enable a comfortable basic
16+
analysis of scRNA-seq data from Seurat object creation, filtering, and over data set integration in less
17+
than 10 function calls. Subsequently, code blocks for performing differential and enrichment analyses and
18+
corresponding visualizations are provided. Finally, several enhanced visualizations are provided, such as
19+
the enhanced Heatmap, DotPlot and comparative Box-/Violin plots. These, particularly, allow the user to
20+
specify how the shown values should be scaled, allowing the accurate creation of condition-wise plots.
21+
22+
Conclusion With the PLO(SC)² framework data analysis of scRNA-seq experiments is performed
23+
more comfortable and stream-lined, while visualizations are enhanced to be suitable for interpreting
24+
complex datasets. The PLO(SC)² scripts are available from GitHub, including a notebook showing how
25+
PLO(SC)² is applied within a script-based analysis, and an R shiny app.
