Correlation Imputation for Single-Cell RNA-seq.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies have yielded a powerful tool to measure gene expression of individual cells. One major challenge of the scRNA-seq data is that it usually contains a large amount of zero expression values, which often impairs the effectiveness of downstream analyses. Numerous data imputation methods have been proposed to deal with these "dropout" events, but this is a difficult task for such high-dimensional and sparse data. Furthermore, there have been debates on the nature of the sparsity, about whether the zeros are due to technological limitations or represent actual biology. To address these challenges, we propose Single-cell RNA-seq Correlation completion by ENsemble learning and Auxiliary information (SCENA), a novel approach
