1 Installation

1.1 Required dependencies

inferCNV uses the R packages ape, BiocGenerics, binhf, caTools, coda, coin, dplyr, doparallel, edgeR, fastcluster, fitdistrplus, foreach, futile.logger, future, gplots, ggplot2, HiddenMarkov, reshape, rjags, RColorBrewer, SingleCellExperiment, SummarizedExperiment and imports functions from the archived GMD.

1.2 Installing

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("infercnv")

1.3 Optional extension

If you want to use the interactive heatmap visualization, please check the add-on packge R inferCNV_NGCHM after installing the packages tibble, tsvio and NGCHMR. To install optional packages, type the following in an R command window:

install.packages("tibble")

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bmbroom/tsvio")
devtools::install_github("bmbroom/NGCHMR", ref="stable")
devtools::install_github("broadinstitute/inferCNV_NGCHM")

And download the NGCHM java application by typing the following in a regular shell:

wget http://tcga.ngchm.net/NGCHM/ShaidyMapGen.jar

2 Running InferCNV

2.1 Create the InferCNV Object

Reading in the raw counts matrix and meta data, populating the infercnv object

infercnv_obj = CreateInfercnvObject(
  raw_counts_matrix="../inst/extdata/oligodendroglioma_expression_downsampled.counts.matrix.gz",
  annotations_file="../inst/extdata/oligodendroglioma_annotations_downsampled.txt",
  delim="\t",
  gene_order_file="../inst/extdata/gencode_downsampled.EXAMPLE_ONLY_DONT_REUSE.txt",
  ref_group_names=c("Microglia/Macrophage","Oligodendrocytes (non-malignant)"))

2.2 Running the full default analysis

out_dir = tempfile()
infercnv_obj_default = infercnv::run(
    infercnv_obj,
    cutoff=1, # cutoff=1 works well for Smart-seq2, and cutoff=0.1 works well for 10x Genomics
    out_dir=out_dir,
    cluster_by_groups=TRUE, 
    plot_steps=FALSE,
    denoise=TRUE,
    HMM=FALSE,
    no_prelim_plot=TRUE,
    png_res=60
)

Basic ouput from running inferCNV.
