OmicVerse: a framework for bridging and deepening insights across bulk and single-cell sequencing

Abstract

Abstract Single-cell sequencing is frequently affected by “omission” due to limitations in sequencing throughput, yet bulk RNA-seq may contain these ostensibly “omitted” cells. Here, we introduce the single cell trajectory blending from Bulk RNA-seq (BulkTrajBlend) algorithm, a component of the OmicVerse suite that leverages a Beta-Variational AutoEncoder for data deconvolution and graph neural networks for the discovery of overlapping communities. This approach effectively interpolates and restores the continuity of “omitted” cells within single-cell RNA sequencing datasets. Furthermore, OmicVerse provides an extensive toolkit for both bulk and single cell RNA-seq analysis, offering seamless access to diverse methodologies, streamlining computational processes, fostering exquisite data visualization, and facilitating the extraction of significant biological insights to advance scientific research.
