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 scoresIFNa: Log2(Fold Change) values observed in IFN-α stimulationIFNg: 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 HIRISAcelltype: The L1 cell type scoredavg_IFNa: The average IFN-α score among subjects in the cohortavg_IFNg: The average IFN-γ score among subjects in the cohortvar_IFNa: The variance of IFN-α scoresvar_IFNg: The variance of IFN-γ scroesvar_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 analysislog2FC: The log2(Fold Change) that can be used to compute IFN scores
