Abstract: BACKGROUND: The application of Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) for dimensionality reduction and visualization has revolutionized the analysis of single-cell RNA expression and population genetics. However, its potential in single-cell DNA sequencing data analysis, particularly for visualizing gene mutation information, has not been fully explored. RESULTS: We introduce Mugen-UMAP, a novel Python-based program that extends UMAP's utility to single-cell DNA sequencing data. This innovative tool provides a comprehensive pipeline for processing gene annotation files of single-cell somatic single-nucleotide variants and metadata to the visualization of UMAP projections for identifying clusters, along with various statistical analyses. Employing Mugen-UMAP, we analyzed whole-exome sequencing data from 365 single-cell samples across 12 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, revealing distinct clusters associated with histological subtypes of NSCLC. Moreover, to demonstrate the general utility of Mugen-UMAP, we applied the program to 9 additional single-cell WES datasets from various cancer types, uncovering interesting patterns of cell clusters that warrant further investigation. In summary, Mugen-UMAP provides a quick and effective visualization method to uncover cell cluster patterns based on the gene mutation information from single-cell DNA sequencing data. CONCLUSIONS: The application of Mugen-UMAP demonstrates its capacity to provide valuable insights into the visualization and interpretation of single-cell DNA sequencing data.
