| Abstract: | MOTIVATION: Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data is widely used to study cancer cell states and their heterogeneity. However, the tumour microenvironment is usually a mixture of healthy and cancerous cells and it can be difficult to fully separate these two populations based on transcriptomics alone. If available, somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) observed in the scRNA-seq data could be used to identify the cancer population and match that information with the single cells’ expression profile. However, calling somatic SNVs in scRNA-seq data is a challeng-ing task, as most variants seen in the short read data are not somatic, but can instead be germline variants, RNA edits or transcription, sequencing or processing errors. Additionally, only variants present in actively transcribed regions for each individual cell will be seen in the data. RESULTS: To address these challenges, we develop CCLONE (Cancer Cell Labelling On Noisy Expression), an interpretable tool adapted to handle the uncertainty and sparsity of SNVs called from scRNA-seq data. CCLONE jointly identifies cancer clonal populations, and their associated variants. We apply CCLONE on two acute myeloid leukaemia datasets and one lung adenocarcinoma dataset and show that CCLONE captures both genetic clones and somatic events for multiple patients. These results show how CCLONE can be used to gather insight into the course of the disease and the origin of cancer cells in scRNA-seq data.
