IFN Scoring Data

As part of the HIRISA toolkit, we provide an online tool to compute IFN-α and IFN-γ scores for your own genes, as well as a Jupyter Notebook that provides instructions for performing this analysis yourself.

To support these tools, we pre-computed IFN weight matrices for each cell type, and built a table of IFN-α and IFN-γ scores for a variety of diseases based on previously published scRNA-seq studies.

Here, we provide a .zip file that contains all of the results necessary to score your own data, as well as the disease-specific score results. The structure of the files stored in the .zip are shown below:

Column descriptions for each set of files can be viewed by clicking on the header below:

Log2FC matrices (in the IFNa_IFNg_Stim_Matrices/ subdirectory):
These files were generated from HIRISA results, and are used to compute new cell type-specific scores.
Gene: Gene symbol for each gene used to compute scores
IFNa: Log2(Fold Change) values observed in IFN-α stimulation
IFNg: Log2(Fold Change) values observed in IFN-γ stimulation

Pre-computed cohort scores (cohort_celltype_IFN_scores.csv):
These files were generated by using the HIRISA algorithm to score DEGs from multiple immunological conditions.
Cohort: The cohort that was scored using HIRISA
celltype: The L1 cell type scored
avg_IFNa: The average IFN-α score among subjects in the cohort
avg_IFNg: The average IFN-γ score among subjects in the cohort
var_IFNa: The variance of IFN-α scores
var_IFNg: The variance of IFN-γ scroes
var_combined: The combined variance of IFN-α and IFN-γ scores

Test DEG results (ending in MAST_degs.csv):
These DEG results can be used to test HIRISA IFN scoring.
Gene: The gene tested in DEG analysis
log2FC: The log2(Fold Change) that can be used to compute IFN scores
