MAPLE is a new computational framework that predicts gene activity from single-cell DNA methylation data. This tool enhances analyses like cell clustering and transcriptome integration, revealing novel methylation-gene expression insights.

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics
  • Computational Biology
  • Single-cell Genomics

Background:

  • Single-cell DNA methylation data is growing, challenging bulk data assumptions about gene expression.
  • Computational tools for single-cell methylome analysis, especially gene activity matrix construction, are underdeveloped.
  • Existing methods struggle with the sparse nature of multi-omics single-cell data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational framework, MAPLE, for predicting gene activity from single-cell DNA methylation.
  • To leverage multi-omics data to model the complex relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression.
  • To improve downstream single-cell analysis tasks by generating a robust gene activity matrix.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MAPLE (methylome association by predictive linkage to expression), a supervised learning framework.

  • Utilized gene- and cell-dependent statistical features to learn methylation-expression associations.
  • Trained models on multi-omics datasets with varying experimental protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Predicted gene activity values significantly improved clustering, cell type identification, and transcriptome data integration.
    • MAPLE revealed asymmetric importance of methylation signals near transcription start sites.
    • Identified increased predictive power of methylation in promoters outside CpG islands and shores.

    Conclusions:

    • MAPLE provides a robust method for predicting gene activity from single-cell methylome data.
    • The framework enhances the utility of single-cell epigenomics by enabling integration with transcriptomics.
    • MAPLE uncovers novel biological insights into methylation-gene expression dynamics.
