New framework models temporal single-cell RNA data with Gaussian process and optimal transport

Researchers have developed a new generative framework to model temporal processes in single-cell RNA sequencing data. This approach utilizes a latent heteroscedastic Gaussian process, approximated via Hilbert space methods, to capture population trends. An optimal transport objective is employed to align generated and observed distributions, addressing the challenge of inferring trajectories from static data. The method explicitly models biological heterogeneity by considering cell-specific latent time and cell type conditioning, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on interpolation and extrapolation benchmarks.
