Researchers have developed PopPert, a novel framework for predicting cellular responses to genetic and chemical perturbations. Unlike previous methods that require cell-to-cell correspondence, PopPert models population-level joint gene expression distributions, making it suitable for unpaired single-cell data. The framework utilizes a Gaussian Copula to capture gene co-expression patterns and has demonstrated superior performance in benchmarks for differential expression recovery and perturbation effect estimation. The code for PopPert is publicly available. AI
