Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

Unsupervised feature selection is vital for analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.
Existing benchmarks for feature selection methods lack consensus, using either marker gene inclusion or clustering accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically compare 11 unsupervised feature selection methods for scRNA-seq data.
To evaluate method performance based on both marker gene identification and cell clustering accuracy.
To identify optimal feature selection strategies for scRNA-seq analysis.

Main Methods:

Systematic comparison of 11 unsupervised feature selection algorithms.
Evaluation using two criteria: proportion of ground-truth marker genes and accuracy of cell clustering.
Analysis of gene expression distributions and coefficients of variation.

Main Results:

Demonstrated discordance between marker gene inclusion and clustering accuracy criteria, advocating for the latter.
Showcased that lowly expressed genes with high variation are typically excluded by high-performance methods.
Identified high-deviation and high-expression methods as superior to the widely used Seurat approach for clustering and visualization.

Conclusions:

Feature selection methods focusing on high deviation and expression enhance scRNA-seq data analysis.
These methods improve cell clustering, data visualization, and trajectory inference.
The study recommends specific feature selection strategies for more accurate scRNA-seq interpretation.
