Abstract:
|
Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a newly developed technology that provides cell level resolution of gene expression. The scRNA-seq data are count tables of all genes' expression across all samples. We propose a novel sparse probabilistic non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for extracting latent biological functional topics and topic frequencies for each cell. The proposed model is applied to scRNA-seq datasets for dimensionality reduction and cell type identification.
