SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables the inference and analysis of gene regulatory networks from single-cell RNA sequencing data, revealing key transcription factors and their target genes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • GRN Inference: Uses deep learning-based RegDiffusion to predict transcription factor to target gene links.
  • Regulon Identification: Prunes regulons with cisTarget motif enrichment, focusing on direct regulatory relationships.
  • Cell-Type Characterization: Scores regulon activity in individual cells and identifies master regulators specific to cell types for research and diagnostic purposes.
  • Use Case: A computational biologist can uncover transcriptional control mechanisms driving differentiation by analyzing scRNA-seq datasets.

Quick Start

Load your scRNA-seq data, initialize the SCENIC analysis, and run the inference pipeline with your raw counts to generate regulatory networks and activity scores.

FAQPage Schema
How do I infer gene regulatory networks from scRNA-seq data?

This Skill uses deep learning-based RegDiffusion to predict transcription factor to target gene links from your raw scRNA-seq counts, then prunes predicted regulons using cisTarget motif enrichment.

What is needed to reconstruct gene regulatory networks for specific cell types?

Reconstructing gene regulatory networks for specific cell types requires scRNA-seq raw counts alongside access to cisTarget databases and species-specific motif annotations for accurate network inference and regulon activity scoring.

How does RegDiffusion identify transcription factors and target genes?

RegDiffusion identifies transcription factors and target genes by applying deep learning to predict TF-target links from single-cell transcriptomics datasets, revealing core regulatory factors across diverse cell types.

Can I use single-cell RNA sequencing data to find master regulators driving differentiation?

Yes, you can use scRNA-seq data to find master regulators driving differentiation by scoring regulon activity in individual cells, which identifies master regulators specific to cell types for research.

Does gene regulatory network inference work with species-specific gene annotations?

Gene regulatory network inference ensures compatibility with species-specific gene annotations, requiring matching cisTarget databases and motif annotations to accurately reconstruct regulatory networks for your target organism.

Why do I need cisTarget databases for regulon identification?

You need cisTarget databases for regulon identification to perform motif enrichment, which prunes inferred networks to focus on direct regulatory relationships between transcription factors and their target genes.
