Benchmarking Algorithms for Gene Set Scoring of Single-cell ATAC-seq Data.

ABSTRACT: Gene set scoring (GSS) has been routinely conducted for gene expression analysis of bulk or single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, which helps to decipher single-cell heterogeneity and cell type-specific variability by incorporating prior knowledge from functional gene sets. Single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq) is a powerful technique for interrogating single-cell chromatin-based gene regulation, and genes or gene sets with dynamic regulatory potentials can be regarded as cell type-specific markers as if in single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). However, there are few GSS tools specifically designed for scATAC-seq, and the applicability and performance of RNA-seq GSS tools on scATAC-seq data remain to be investigated. Here, we systematically be
