DOI

A VAE for analyzing pathways, transcription factors, cell types in single-cell RNA-seq data

Introduction

VEGA is a VAE aimed at analyzing a priori specified latent variables such as pathways. VEGA is implemented with pytorch, and using the scanpy and scvi-tools ecosystem.

Getting started

VEGA needs 2 things to analyze your data:

  • A single-cell dataset wrapped using the Scanpy package
  • A GMT file specifying the gene module variables (GMVs) and gene membership, eg. from MSigDB

Installation

With pip

With pip, you can run

pip install scvega

Usage

In python, use

import vega

Documentation and issues

  • A documentation is available with API reference, installation guide and tutorials.
  • Please consider submitting an issue on github if you encounter a bug.

Reproducing paper results

VEGA manuscript results can be reproduced using the following code. Check tags for appropriate version of VEGA for reproducing results.
