Oscillatory processes such as the cell cycle play critical roles in cell fate determination and disease development. Yet, most current gene regulatory network (GRN) inference methods are based on gene-gene correlations or temporal progression, not adequately accounting for the recurrence in cyclic processes. We hypothesize that constraining the continuous ordering of relative positions along the cell cycle can enhance GRN inference accuracy of cell cycle regulation. To test performance, we evaluated eight representative methods and applied three of them to a mouse retinal progenitor single-cell gene expression dataset [1]. Incorporating cell cycle positions inferred by Tricycle [2] led to significant improvements compared against using experimental times, particularly for early progenitor cells that been hypothesized to be more intrinsically driven by cell cycle regulation. These findings highlight the promise of integrating oscillatory processes into causal inference frameworks to advance our understanding of gene regulation.
