A dysfunctional immune response in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients is a recurrent theme impacting symptoms and mortality, yet a detailed understanding of pertinent immune cells is not complete. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to 284 samples from 196 COVID-19 patients and controls and created a comprehensive immune landscape with 1.46 million cells. The large dataset enabled us to identify that different peripheral immune subtype changes are associated with distinct clinical features, including age, sex, severity, and disease stages of COVID-19. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA was found in diverse epithelial and immune cell types, accompanied by dramatic transcriptomic changes within virus-positive cells. Systemic upregulation of S100A8/A9, mainly by megakaryocytes and monocytes in the peripheral blood, may contribute to the cytokine storms frequently observed in severe patients. Our data provide a rich resource for understanding the pathogenesis of and developing effective therapeutic strategies for COVID-19.

View all literature mentionsSoftware tool for manipulating BUS files for single cell RNA-Seq datasets. Used to error correct barcodes, collapse UMIs, produce gene count or transcript compatibility count matrices, and is useful for many other tasks.
View all literature mentionsSoftware Python package that wraps kallisto and bustools single-cell RNA-seq workflow. Used for single-cell RNA-seq pre-processing. Simplifies downloading and running of kallisto and bustools programs. Consists of kb ref and kb count commands. kb ref builds or downloads species specific index for pseudo alignment of reads and must be run prior to kb count and it runs kallisto index. kb count runs kallisto and bustools programs and is used for pre-processing of data from variety of single-cell RNA-seq technologies, and for number of different workflows (e.g. production of gene count matrices, RNA velocity analyses, etc.).
