Studies were incorporated in a barcode, matrix, feature format. This format can be found on the
10x Genomics website
for processing of single cell studies to obtain the gene expression matrices.
For each study, the metadata incorporated in GEO were manually curated into profiles and the samples were separated based on applicable groups and conditions.
The expression data from the cells for the samples within the same profile and condition were aggregated into an expression matrix with the cell barcodes having the sample name appended to it to ensure unique cell names.
Description (from GEO)
Submission Date: May 10, 2021
Summary: This dataset consists of single-cell RNA-seq (10X) data of pancreatic islets isolated from healthy and diabetic db/db mice that underwent VSG surgery, Sham surgery (Control) and Sham surgery + pair-feeding (Calorie-restriction control).
Select Condition to compute Visualization and Analysis
Preprocessing and downstream analysis were computed using the scanpy Python library and the
steps of processing followed the Seurat vignette. Cells and genes with no expression or very low expression were
removed from the dataset based on a predefined threshold. The data was then normalized across the expression within the cells and log normalized. The top 2000 highly variable genes were extracted to be used for downstream analysis.
For each of these aggregated data matrices, the clusters were computed using the leiden algorithm. Scanpy was then used to compute the PCA, t-SNE, and UMAPs.
The points in the plots are labelled by their corresponding cell type labels. The cell type labels were computed using the wilcoxon method as the differential gene expression method.
The top 250 genes were then used for enrichment analysis against the CellMarker library in order to determine the most appropriate cell type label with the lowest p-value.

Differential Gene Expression Analysis
Differential gene expression can be computed for a single cell type labeled group of cells vs the rest.
These include wilcoxon,
DESeq2, or characteristic direction.
