Single cell sequencing techniques enable researchers view complex bio-tissues from a more precise perspective to identify cell types. However, more and more recent works have been done to find more detailed subtypes within already known cell types. Here, we present MeHi-SCC, a method which utilized meta-learning protocol and brought in multi scRNA-seq datasets' information in order to assist graph-based hierarchical sub-clustering process. In result, MeHi-SCC outperformed current-prevailing scRNA clustering methods and successfully identified cell subtypes in two large scale cell atlas. Our codes and datasets are available online at https://github.com/biomed-AI/MeHi-SCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
