What problem does it solve?
Arboreto turns expression matrices into gene regulatory networks, helping researchers identify which transcription factors likely regulate each target gene without manually comparing thousands of relationships.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fast GRN inference with GRNBoost2 for large single-cell or bulk RNA-seq datasets.
- Classic GENIE3 inference for validation or comparison with published networks.
- Distributed Dask execution for scaling from a laptop to a cluster, plus TF filtering, reproducible seeds, and top-link limits for cleaner outputs.
- Use case: infer regulatory links for a new scRNA-seq dataset, compare control and treatment networks, or generate a ranked TF-target table for downstream review.
Quick Start
Use Arboreto to infer a gene regulatory network from your expression table by choosing GRNBoost2, optionally supplying a transcription factor list, and saving the resulting TF-target importance table.
