Incorporating network diffusion and peak location information for better single-cell ATAC-seq data analysis.

ABSTRACT: Single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq) data provided new insights into the understanding of epigenetic heterogeneity and transcriptional regulation. With the increasing abundance of dataset resources, there is an urgent need to extract more useful information through high-quality data analysis methods specifically designed for scATAC-seq. However, analyzing scATAC-seq data poses challenges due to its near binarization, high sparsity and ultra-high dimensionality properties. Here, we proposed a novel network diffusion-based computational method to comprehensively analyze scATAC-seq data, named Single-Cell ATAC-seq Analysis via Network Refinement with Peaks Location Information (SCARP). SCARP formulates the Network Refinement diffusion method und
