What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides advanced probabilistic frameworks for analyzing and interpreting single-cell genomics data, enabling robust extraction of meaningful biological signals amidst technical noise.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dimensionality Reduction & Batch Correction: Uses deep generative models to produce batch-invariant cellular embeddings for integrated analysis.
- Cell Type Annotation: Supports semi-supervised classification and transfer learning for accurate cell type identification.
- Differential Expression: Performs probabilistic gene-level testing with built-in uncertainty quantification.
- Multi-modal Data Analysis: Integrates diverse data types such as RNA, protein, methylation, and spatial transcriptomics through specialized models like totalVI, MultiVI, and DestVI.
- Trajectory & Dynamics: Infers cellular trajectories and velocity fields to study dynamic biological processes.
- Data Imputation & Simulation: Generates synthetic or missing data points, facilitating data augmentation and exploratory analyses.
Quick Start
Setup your dataset by loading raw counts into an AnnData object, run scvi.model.SCVI, and extract low-dimensional embeddings for clustering and visualization.
