Create Heat Map for Cell Abundance

Create Heat Map for Cell Abundance compares two groupings of the same cells. It outputs a heat map showing the cell abundance for the two groupings. The tool is useful for matching automated clusters with predicted cell types or for comparing analysis that has been run in third party tools with the results obtained using the CLC Single Cell Analysis Module.

The tool produces a Heat Map () of cell abundance. It is often most natural to run the tool from a Dimensionality Reduction Plot by right-clicking on the plot, see UMAP and tSNE plot functionality for details. However, it can also be found in the Toolbox here:

        Toolbox | Single Cell Analysis () | Cell Annotation () | Create Heat Map for Cell Abundance ()

The tool requires at least one Cell Clusters () and/or Cell Annotations (). A number of options are available to choose and order the groups:

• Group by (row). Select which category should be displayed as rows.
• Select groups (row) (Optional). This can be supplied to reduce the groups in the plot to only those of interest, or to control their order.
• Group by (column). Select which category should be displayed as columns.
• Select groups (column) (Optional). This can be supplied to reduce the groups in the plot to only those of interest, or to control their order.

While numerical categories can be selected from Cell Annotations, it is often most relevant to choose discrete traits.

Each colored rectangle in the heat map represents the number of cells found in both groups. Three options exist for scaling the numbers:

• By all. All entries will sum to 100%.
• Per row. All entries in each row will sum to 100%.
• Per column. All entries in each column will sum to 100%.

When selecting "By all", the most abundant pairs of groups will be most noticeable, whereas "Per row / column" highlights how well different groupings match and shows the composition of one of the groupings as a function of the other.
