cellstruct: Metrics scores to quantify the biological preservation between two embeddings

Show abstract
Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) is extensively applied in uncovering biological heterogeneity. There are different dimensionality reduction techniques, but it is unclear which method works best in preserving biological information when creating a two-dimensional embedding. Therefore, we implemented cellstruct, which calculates three metrics scores to quantify the global or local biological similarity between a two-dimensional and its corresponding higher-dimensional PCA embeddings at either single-cell or cluster level. These scores pinpoint cell populations with low biological information preservation, in addition to visualizing the cell-cell or cluster-cluster relationships in the PCA embedding. Two study cases illustrate the usefulness of cellstruct in exploratory data analysis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
