ScLinear predicts protein abundance at single-cell resolution

Abstract Single-cell multi-omics have transformed biomedical research and present exciting machine learning opportunities. We present scLinear, a linear regression-based approach that predicts single-cell protein abundance based on RNA expression. ScLinear is vastly more efficient than state-of-the-...

description Abstract Single-cell multi-omics have transformed biomedical research and present exciting machine learning opportunities. We present scLinear, a linear regression-based approach that predicts single-cell protein abundance based on RNA expression. ScLinear is vastly more efficient than state-of-the-art methodologies, without compromising its accuracy. ScLinear is interpretable and accurately generalizes in unseen single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. Importantly, we offer a critical view in using complex algorithms ignoring simpler, faster, and more efficient approaches.
