PopV uses popular vote of a variety of cell-type transfer tools to classify cell-types in a query dataset based on a test dataset.
Using this variety of algorithms, they compute the agreement between those algorithms and use this agreement to predict which cell-types have a high likelihood of the same cell-types observed in the reference.

Expanded CRISPR-compatible CITE-seq (ECCITE-seq) which is built upon pooled CRISPR screens, allows to simultaneously measure transcriptomes, surface protein levels, and single-guide RNA (sgRNA) sequences at single-cell resolution. The technique enables multimodal characterization of each perturbation and effect exploration. However, it also encounters heterogeneity and complexity which can cause substantial noise into downstream analyses.
Mixscape (Papalexi, Efthymia, et al., 2021) is a computational framework proposed to substantially improve the signal-to-noise ratio in single-cell perturbation screens by identifying and removing confounding sources of variation.
In this notebooks, we demonstrate Mixscape's features using pertpy - a Python package offering a range of tools for perturbation analysis. The original pipeline of Mixscape implemented in R can be found here.

scVI-tools (single-cell variational inference tools) is a package for end-to-end analysis of single-cell omics data primarily developed and maintained by the Yosef Lab at UC Berkeley. scvi-tools has two components
- Interface for easy use of a range of probabilistic models for single-cell omics (e.g., scVI, scANVI, totalVI).
- Tools to build new probabilistic models, which are powered by PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning, and Pyro.

Geneformer is a foundation transformer model pretrained on a large-scale corpus of ~30 million single cell transcriptomes to enable context-aware predictions in settings with limited data in network biology. Here, we will demonstrate a basic workflow to work with ***Geneformer*** models.
These notebooks include the instruction to:
1. Prepare input datasets
2. Finetune Geneformer model to perform specific task
3. Using finetuning models for cell classification and gene classification application

Single-cell sequencing is an increasingly used technology and has promising applications in basic research and clinical translations. However, genotyping methods developed for bulk sequencing data have not been well adapted for single-cell data. In this notebook, we introduce cellSNP-lite for genotyping in single-cell sequencing data for both droplet and well-based platforms.
Cellsnp-lite is a C/C++ tool for efficient genotyping bi-allelic SNPs on single cells. You can use cellsnp-lite after read alignment to obtain the snp x cell pileup UMI or read count matrices for each alleles of given or detected SNPs.
cellSNP-lite aims to pileup the expressed alleles in single-cell or bulk RNA-seq data, which can be directly used for donor deconvolution in multiplexed single-cell RNA-seq data, particularly with vireo, which assigns cells to donors and detects doublets, even without genotyping reference.
Cellsnp-lite has following features:
- Wide applicability: cellsnp-lite can take data from various omics as input, including RNA-seq, DNA-seq, ATAC-seq, either in bulk or single cells.
- Simplified user interface that supports parallel computing, cell barcode and UMI tags.
- High efficiency in terms of running speed and memory usage with highly concordant results compared to existing methods.
