VASC – Variational Autoencoder for Single Cell RNA-seq datasets

VASC

:: DESCRIPTION

VASC (deep Variational Autoencoder for SCRNA-seq data) is a deep multi-layer generative model, for the dimension reduction and visualization. It can do nonlinear hierarchical feature representations and model the dropout events of scRNA-seq data. Tested on more than twenty datasets, VASC show better performances in most cases and higher stability compared with several dimension reduction methods. VASC successfully re-establishes the embryo pre-implantation cell lineage and its associated genes based on the 2D representation of a large-scale scRNA-seq from human embryos.
