Show abstract
Trajectory inference (TI) methods for single-cell snapshots of developmental systems have yielded numerous insights into the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that control cell differentiation. Many TI algorithms have been proposed for recovering cell trajectories from single samples containing cells spanning a spectrum of differentiation states; however, these methods cannot leverage temporal information when a time course of such diverse samples is available. As interest grows in understanding how the regulation of GRNs changes as an organism ages, current TI theory and methods must be adapted to take advantage of all information in aging time courses of single-cell data. In this paper, we present our novel age-conscious method, global StationaryOT, which exploits the temporal information in aging time courses to simultaneously reconstruct debiased cell trajectories at all ages. We demonstrate that this first-of-its-kind method achieves more accurate, biologically consistent trajectories in synthetic and real biological contexts where data sparsity produces significant noise in the outputs of current TI methods when they are applied to time course samples independently.

"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.
