RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...

Improving Translational Accuracy

Improving Translational Accuracy

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Experimental RNAi

Experimental RNAi

RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

Background:

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integration methods often fail to distinguish closely related cell subtypes.
Over-mixing of cell populations reduces biological resolution and interpretability.
Existing marker gene integration approaches are limited by data variability and complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce scCRAFT+, a semi-supervised integration model.
Enhance scRNA-seq data integration and cell type auto-annotation accuracy.
Improve robustness to noisy or incomplete marker gene information.

Main Methods:

Developed scCRAFT+, a semi-supervised integration model.
Incorporated marker gene information using Virtual Adversarial Training (VAT).
Jointly optimized marker-derived supervision and transcriptome-wide representations.

Main Results:

VAT enforced local prediction smoothness, improving robustness to noisy marker annotations.
Achieved enhanced integration quality and cell type auto-annotation.
Demonstrated superior performance compared to existing unsupervised and supervised integration methods.
Significantly improved annotation accuracy and robustness, especially with incomplete marker sets.

Conclusions:

scCRAFT+ offers a robust and accurate approach for scRNA-seq data integration.
The model effectively leverages marker gene information for improved biological resolution.
scCRAFT+ enables more biologically meaningful sub-cell type auto-annotations.
