Title
Fusion prior gene network for high reliable single-cell gene regulatory network inference
Abstract
Single-Cell RNA sequencing technology provides an opportunity to discover gene regulatory networks(GRN) that control cell differentiation and drive cell type transformation. However, it is faced with the challenge of high loss and high noise of sequencing data and contains many pseudo-connections. To solve these problems, we propose a framework called Fusion prior gene network for Gene Regulatory Network inference Accuracy Enhancement (FGRNAE) to infer a high reliable gene regulatory network. Specifically, based on the Single-Cell RNA sequencing Network Propagation and network Fusion(scNPF) preprocessing framework, we employ the Random Walk with Restart on the prior gene network to interpolate the missing data. Furthermore, we infer the network using the Random Forest algorithm with the results achieved above. In addition, we apply data from the Co Function Network to build a meta-gene network and select the regulatory connection with the Markov Random Field. Extensive experiments based on datasets from BEELINE validate the effectiveness of our framework for improving the accuracy of inference.
