本文是参考学习单细胞转录组基础分析六：伪时间分析的学习笔记。可能根据学习情况有所改动。
Monocle进行伪时间分析的核心技术是一种机器学习算法——反向图形嵌入 (Reversed Graph Embedding)。它分析的前提需要一张展现细胞转录特征相似性关系的图，Monocle2使用DDTree降维图，Monocle3使用UMAP降维图。Monocle的机器学习算法可以依据上述降维图形，学习描述细胞如何从一种状态过渡到另一种状态的轨迹。Monocle假设轨迹是树状结构，一端是“根”，另一端是“叶”。一个细胞在生物过程的开始，从根开始沿着主干进行，直到它到达第一个分支。然后，该细胞必须选择一条路径，并沿着树移动越来越远，直到它到达一片叶子。一个细胞的假时间值是它返回根所需的距离。降维方面monocle与seurat的过程大同小异，首先进行数据标准化，其次选择部分基因代表细胞转录特征 ，最后选用适当的算法降维。对Monocle原理感兴趣的同学可以登录官网查看：

数据导入与处理
轨迹分析的前提是待分析的细胞有紧密的发育关系，PBMC细胞不是很好的的示例数据，我们选择T细胞群体演示一下。Monocle建议导入原始表达矩阵，由它完成数据标准化和其他预处理。
dir.create("pseudotime")
expressionFamily参数用于指定表达矩阵的数据类型，有几个选项可以选择：
稀疏矩阵用negbinomial.size()，
FPKM值用tobit()，
logFPKM值用gaussianff()
mycds是Monocle为我们的数据生成的对象，相当于我们在seurat使用的scRNA对象。数据导入后需要进行标准化和其他预处理：
mycds <- estimateSizeFactors(mycds)
与seurat把标准化后的表达矩阵保存在对象中不同，monocle只保存一些中间结果在对象中，需要用时再用这些中间结果转化。经过上面三个函数的计算，mycds对象中多了SizeFactors、Dipersions、num_cells_expressed和num_genes_expressed等信息。
选择代表性基因
完成数据导入和预处理后，就可以考虑选择哪些基因代表细胞的发育特征，Monocle官网教程提供了4个选择方法：
选择发育差异表达基因
选择clusters差异表达基因
选择离散程度高的基因
自定义发育marker基因
前三种都是无监督分析方法，细胞发育轨迹生成完全不受人工干预；最后一种是半监督分析方法，可以使用先验知识辅助分析。第一种方法要求实验设计有不同的时间点，对起点和终点的样本做基因表达差异分析，挑选显著差异的基因进行后续分析。对于没有时序设计的实验样本，可以使用第2、3种方法挑选基因。第2种方法要先对细胞降维聚类，然后用clusters之间差异表达的基因开展后续分析。Monocle有一套自己的降维聚类方法，与seurat的方法大同小异，很多教程直接使用seurat的差异分析结果。第3种方法使用离散程度高的基因开展分析，seurat有挑选高变基因的方法，monocle也有自己选择的算法。本案例数据不具备使用第1、4种方法的条件，因此这里只演示2、3种方法的使用。
##使用clusters差异表达基因

选择不同的基因集，拟时分析的结果不同，实践中可以几种方法都试一下。

拟时相关基因聚类热图
Monocle中differentialGeneTest()函数可以按条件进行差异分析，将相关参数设为fullModelFormulaStr = "~sm.ns(Pseudotime)"时，可以找到与拟时先关的差异基因。我们可以按一定的条件筛选基因后进行差异分析，全部基因都输入会耗费比较长的时间。建议使用cluster差异基因或高变基因输入函数计算。分析结果主要依据qval区分差异的显著性，筛选之后可以用plot_pseudotime_heatmap函数绘制成热图。

BEAM分析
单细胞轨迹中通常包括分支，它们的出现是因为细胞的表达模式不同。当细胞做出命运选择时，或者遗传、化学或环境扰动时，就会表现出不同的基因表达模式。BEAM(Branched expression analysis modeling)是一种统计方法，用于寻找以依赖于分支的方式调控的基因。
