Driver gene detection via causal inference on single cell embeddings

Show abstract
Driver genes are pivotal in different biological processes. Current methods generally identify driver genes by associative analysis. Leveraging on the development of current large language models (LLM) in single cell genomics, we propose a causal inference based approach called CID to identify driver genes from scRNA-seq data. Through experiments on three different datasets, we show that CID can (1) identify biologically meaningful driver genes that have not been captured by current associative-analysis based methods, and (2) accurately predict the change directions of target genes if a driver gene is knocked out.

"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.
