Published: July 2024

Single-cell RNA sequencing allows us to model cellular state dynamics and fate decisions using expression similarity or RNA velocity to reconstruct state-change trajectories; however, trajectory inference does not incorporate valuable time point information or utilize additional modalities, whereas methods that address these different data views cannot be combined or do not scale. Here we present CellRank 2, a versatile and scalable framework to study cellular fate using multiview single-cell data of up to millions of cells in a unified fashion. CellRank 2 consistently recovers terminal states and fate probabilities across data modalities in human hematopoiesis and endodermal development. Our framework also allows combining transitions within and across experimental time points, a feature we use to recover genes promoting medullary thymic epithelial cell formation during pharyngeal endoderm development. Moreover, we enable estimating cell-specific transcription and degradation rates from metabolic-labeling data, which we apply to an intestinal organoid system to delineate differentiation trajectories and pinpoint regulatory strategies.

Cell-cell communications (CCCs) involve signaling from multiple sender cells that collectively impact downstream functional processes in receiver cells. Currently, computational methods are lacking for quantifying the contribution of pairwise combinations of cell types to specific functional processes in receiver cells (e.g.

Clustering plays a crucial role in analyzing scRNA-seq data and has been widely used in studying cellular distribution over the past few years. However, the high dimensionality and complexity of scRNA-seq data pose significant challenges to achieving accurate clustering from a singular perspective. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach, called multi-level multi-view network based on structural consistency contrastive learning (scMMN), for scRNA-seq data clustering.

Cancer metastasis, the process by which tumour cells migrate and colonize distant organs from a primary site, is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this complex process is essential for developing effective metastasis prevention and therapy strategies. To this end, we systematically analysed 1786 bulk tissue samples from 13 cancer types, 988 463 single cells from 17 cancer types, and 40 252 spots from 45 spatial slides across 10 cancer types.

Article Synopsis
  • The gene regulatory network (GRN) is crucial for understanding cellular systems and disease mechanisms, and recent deep learning methods have shown promise in inferring GRNs from single-cell transcriptomic data.
  • A new model, scMGATGRN, has been developed using a multiview graph attention network that integrates local and high-order neighbor information, enhancing the process of inferring GRNs.
  • Comparative experiments revealed that scMGATGRN outperforms ten other methods across various datasets, confirming its effectiveness, and the code is available on GitHub for public use.
