AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWThe rapid advancement of single-cell sequencing technology has significantly deepened our understanding of cellular heterogeneity, yet it concurrently presents substantial challenges for the unified modeling of single-cell data. Simultaneously, pre-trained foundation models have achieved notable success in domains such as natural language processing and image analysis. However, extending these models to accommodate ultra-long single-cell transcriptome sequences, characterized by an extensive number of genes, remains a formidable task. In this study, we introduce SC-MAMBA2, based on the MAMBA2 architecture, meticulously designed with a bidirectional modeling approach tailored for single-cell transcriptomics data. As the first single-cell foundation model to integrate state-space models (SSMs) underlying MAMBA2 architecture, SC-MAMBA2 features over 625 million parameters, covers more than 60,000 genes, and was pre-trained on a dataset of over 57 million cells, making it the most comprehensive solution for processing ultra-long transcriptome sequences. Extensive bench-marking across a diverse array of downstream tasks consistently demonstrates that SC-MAMBA2 surpasses state-of-the-art models, delivering superior accuracy and enhanced computational efficiency.
