Introducing a causal graphical model to characterize dropout mechanisms for gene regulatory network inference.
Kivonat
The content discusses the challenges of gene regulatory network inference (GRNI) due to dropouts in single-cell RNA sequencing data. It introduces a causal dropout model to address these challenges, providing a principled framework for GRNI in the presence of dropouts. The method involves test-wise deletion of samples with zero values for conditioned variables to maintain accurate conditional independence relations. Extensive experiments on synthetic, curated, and real-world experimental data demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.
Abstract:
Gene regulatory network inference is challenging due to dropouts in single-cell RNA sequencing data.
Introduces a causal graphical model, Causal Dropout Model, to address dropout issues.
Test-wise deletion of samples with zero values maintains accurate conditional independence relations.
Empirical evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the method on various datasets.
Introduction:
GRNs represent causal relationships among genes essential for understanding biological processes.
Single-cell RNA sequencing enables comprehensive studies but faces challenges like dropouts.
Existing approaches handle dropouts through imputation or probabilistic models, lacking theoretical guarantees.
