Single-Cell Deep Clustering Method Assisted by Exogenous Gene Information: A Novel Approach to Identifying Cell Types
In recent years, the field of single-cell data analysis has seen a marked advancement in the development of clustering methods. Despite advancements, most of these algorithms still concentrate on analyzing the provided single-cell matrix data. However, in medical applications, single-cell data often involves a wealth of exogenous information, including gene networks. Overlooking this aspect could lead to information loss and clustering results devoid of significant clinical relevance. An innovative single-cell deep clustering method, incorporating exogenous gene information, has been proposed to overcome this limitation. This model leverages exogenous gene network information to facilitate the clustering process, generating discriminative representations. Specifically, we have developed an attention-enhanced graph autoencoder, which is designed to efficiently capture the topological features between cells. Concurrently, we conducted a random walk on an exogenous Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network, thereby acquiring the gene's topological features. Ultimately, during the clustering process, we integrated both sets of information and reconstructed the features of both cells and genes to generate a discriminative representation. Extensive experiments have validated the effectiveness of our proposed method. This research offers enhanced insights into the characteristics and distribution of cells, thereby laying the groundwork for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
