Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cell type prediction is crucial to cell type identification of genomics, cancer diagnosis and drug development, and it can solve the time-consuming and difficult problem of cell classification in biological experiments. Therefore, a computational method is urgently needed to classify and predict cell types using single-cell Hi-C data. In previous studies, there is a lack of convenient and accurate method to predict cell types based on single-cell Hi-C data. Deep neural networks can form complex representations of single-cell Hi-C data and make it possible to handle the multidimensional and sparse biological datasets.
