Abstract
MOTIVATION: Clustering cells into subpopulations is one of the most crucial tasks in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis, which provides support for biological research at cellular level. With the development of graph neural networks, deep graph clustering approaches have achieved excellent performance by modeling the topological relationships between cells. However, existing approaches rely on cell node and its neighbors to obtain the cell feature representation, which ignore the graph cluster structure hidden in scRNA-seq data. Besides, how to bridge the heterogeneous gap between cell node feature and its structural information remains a highly challenging problem.
