  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2020.06.08.20122143: (What is this?)

    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Table 1: Rigor

    Institutional Review Board StatementConsent: Human Subjects: For in vitro studies on human PBMCs and monocytes, buffy coats from healthy donors were obtained from Sanquin blood bank, Nijmegen after written informed consent.
    IRB: The study was approved by the local medical ethics committee of the Radboudumc under reference number: 2020–6359.
    RandomizationFor unsupervised computation analysis, FCS files were randomly down sampled to 20,000 events of the pre-processed files and subsequently concatenated to a single file containing all events.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.
    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.

    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Unsupervised clustering was performed on the expression values of all markers using the tSNE plugin in FlowJo (Becton Dickinson, version 10.6.2), using 1000 iterations and a perplexity of 30.
    FlowJo
    suggested: (FlowJo, RRID:SCR_008520)
    Library preparation and sequencing of ChIP samples: ChIP-seq libraries were prepared using the Kapa Hyper Prep Kit according to manufacturer’s protocol, with the following modifications.

    suggested: (ChIP-seq, RRID:SCR_001237)
    Data was analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5.0.
    GraphPad Prism
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)
    RNA-seq data analysis: RNA-sequencing reads were aligned with Hisat2 version 2.0.4 to the provided and pre-indexed hg38 transcript assembly from UCSC, with alignment tailoring for transcript assemblers enabled44.
    Hisat2
    suggested: (HISAT2, RRID:SCR_015530)
    Samtools was used to filter reads with a quality score lower than 20, and PCR duplicates were removed with Picard45.
    Samtools
    suggested: (SAMTOOLS, RRID:SCR_002105)
    The ‘rlogTransformation’ function in DESeq2 was used to normalize, transform and noise-stabilize the expression data for visualization purposes.
    DESeq2
    suggested: (DESeq, RRID:SCR_000154)
    A union of all identified peaks was generated with BEDTools, which was used to count reads per peak in each sample53.
    BEDTools
    suggested: (BEDTools, RRID:SCR_006646)
    Figures were generated in R with the ggplot2 and ComplexHeatmap R packages47–49.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
