Single-cell multi-omics and deep learning could lead to the inference of biological networks across specific cell types. Here, the authors develop DeepMAPS, a deep learning, graph-based approach for cell-type specific network inference from single-cell multi-omics data that is tested on healthy and tumour tissue datasets.
