PopV uses popular vote of a variety of cell-type transfer tools to classify cell-types in a query dataset based on a test dataset. Using this variety of algorithms, they compute the agreement between those algorithms and use this agreement to predict which cell-types have a high likelihood of the same cell-types observed in the reference.

Geneformer is a foundation transformer model pretrained on a large-scale corpus of ~30 million single cell transcriptomes to enable context-aware predictions in settings with limited data in network biology. Here, we will demonstrate a basic workflow to work with ***Geneformer*** models. These notebooks include the instruction to: 1. Prepare input datasets 2. Finetune Geneformer model to perform specific task 3. Using finetuning models for cell classification and gene classification application

Single-cell RNA data allows cell-cell communications (***CCC***) methods to infer CCC at either the individual cell or cell cluster/cell type level, but physical distances between cells are not preserved Almet, Axel A., et al., (2021). On the other hand, spatial data provides spatial distances between cells, but single-cell or gene resolution is potentially lost. Therefore, integrating two types of data in a proper manner can complement their strengths and limitations, from that improve CCC analysis. In this pipeline, we analyze CCC on Visium data with single-cell data as a reference. The pipeline includes 4 sub-notebooks as following 01-deconvolution: This step involves deconvolution and cell type annotation for Visium data, with cell type information obtained from a relevant single-cell dataset. The deconvolution method is SpatialDWLS which is integrated in Giotto package. 02-giotto: performs spatial based CCC and expression based CCC on Visium data using Giotto method. 03-nichenet: performs spatial based CCC and expression based CCC on Visium data using NicheNet method. 04-visualization: visualizes CCC results obtained from Giotto and NicheNet.

The recent development of experimental methods for measuring chromatin state at single-cell resolution has created a need for computational tools capable of analyzing these datasets. Here we developed Signac, a framework for the analysis of single-cell chromatin data, as an extension of the Seurat R toolkit for single-cell multimodal analysis. **Signac** enables an end-to-end analysis of single-cell chromatin data, including peak calling, quantification, quality control, dimension reduction, clustering, integration with single-cell gene expression datasets, DNA motif analysis, and interactive visualization. Furthermore, Signac facilitates the analysis of multimodal single-cell chromatin data, including datasets that co-assay DNA accessibility with gene expression, protein abundance, and mitochondrial genotype. We demonstrate scaling of the Signac framework to datasets containing over 700,000 cells.
