Abstract

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides high resolution of cell-to-cell variation in gene expression and offers insights into cell heterogeneity, differentiating dynamics, and disease mechanisms. However, technical challenges such as low capture rates and dropout events can introduce noise in data analysis. Here, we present a deep learning framework, called the dynamic batching adversarial autoencoder (DB-AAE), for denoising scRNA-seq datasets. First, we describe steps to set up the computing environment, training, and tuning. Then, we depict the visualization of the denoising results. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ko et al..
