Abstract:

Dimension reduction of genes is an important intermediate step in analyzing single-cell omic data. Most existing methods, such Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or auto-encoder do not use gene annotation information. In this work, we proposed a new dimension reduction method by using protein-protein interaction from BioGRID and gene-gene similarity from gene ontology. The gene information was incorporated by using Graph Neural Networks for graph pooling. We applied the new gene embedding to unsupervised clustering and supervised cell type classification.
