FAQPage Schema
How do I infer gene regulatory networks from single-cell RNA-seq data?▌

You can infer gene regulatory networks from single-cell RNA-seq data by applying scalable algorithms like GRNBoost2 directly to your expression matrix to calculate TF-target importance scores.

What is the best way to scale GRN inference for large gene expression datasets?▌

Scaling GRN inference for large gene expression datasets is achieved by using distributed computing frameworks like Dask, which allow the underlying algorithms to process massive matrices efficiently.

Can I use Arboreto for bulk RNA-seq workflows?▌

Yes, Arboreto supports bulk RNA-seq workflows. It processes both bulk and single-cell expression data to generate regulatory networks using algorithms like GRNBoost2 and GENIE3.

Does GRNBoost2 support distributed computing with Dask?▌

Yes, GRNBoost2 supports distributed computing with Dask. This integration allows you to handle large datasets during gene regulatory network inference without running into memory limitations.

How do I export inferred TF-target networks for downstream analysis?▌

To export inferred TF-target networks for downstream analysis, run the inference algorithm on your expression matrix and save the resulting TF-target importance scores as a tab-separated file.
