CAbiNet: joint clustering and visualization of cells and genes for single-cell transcriptomics

Nucleic Acids Res. 2024 Jul 22;52(13):e57. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkae480.

Abstract

A fundamental analysis task for single-cell transcriptomics data is clustering with subsequent visualization of cell clusters. The genes responsible for the clustering are only inferred in a subsequent step. Clustering cells and genes together would be the remit of biclustering algorithms, which are often bogged down by the size of single-cell data. Here we present 'Correspondence Analysis based Biclustering on Networks' (CAbiNet) for joint clustering and visualization of single-cell RNA-sequencing data. CAbiNet performs efficient co-clustering of cells and their respective marker genes and jointly visualizes the biclusters in a non-linear embedding for easy and interactive visual exploration of the data.
