TL;DR

This work presents Target-Oriented Reference Construction (TORC), a widely applicable strategy for constructing reference data from available labeled cells given a target dataset that alleviates the differences in data distribution and cell-type composition between the reference and the target.

celltypeEnrich: a consensus-based scRNA-seq cluster annotation tool

Motivation Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) cluster annotation is a critical step in data analysis. Current methods are time-consuming, difficult to reproduce, or limited in tissue or species coverage. Results We developed celltypeEnrich, a cluster-level annotation tool that uses a hypergeometric test to identify...

Robust annotation and discovery of novel cell types in single-cell ATAC-seq data through cross-modal reference alignment.

CARA is introduced, a cross-omics Bayesian framework that transfers cell type knowledge from scRNA-seq to scATAC-seq and detects novel cell types in single-cell DNA methylation data, demonstrating seamless extensibility to new modalities.

Refining scRNA-Seq Clusters: The Power of Feature Selection

Three enhancements are presented in this study: RFCell-DUBStepR, which uses random forests to capture expression-level importance; Copula-DUBStepR, which models non-linear correlations via Gaussian Copulas; and Zqt-DUBStepR, which utilizes quantile-based selection for improved gene retention.

REFCON: Reference-free and robust copy number inference in single-cell tumor transcriptomes

REFCON is introduced, a deep-learning model that enables reference-free copy number profiling from scRNA-seq data collected without matched normals, and profiles pure tumors, generalizes to unseen tissues and platforms, and stays robust to cohort composition.
