单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)揭示细胞异质性,细胞聚类在识别细胞类型和标记基因中起关键作用。近年来基于图神经网络(GNNs)的方法显著提升了聚类性能,但噪声、稀疏性和高维度仍带来挑战。尤其GNN常出现过平滑现象,限制了复杂生物信息的捕捉。为此,我们提出scSiameseClu——一种新型孪生聚类框架,包含三步:(1) 双重增强模块,对基因表达矩阵和细胞图关系施加生物学启发的扰动,增强表示鲁棒性;(2) 孪生融合模块,结合交叉相关精炼与自适应信息融合,捕捉复杂细胞关系并抑制过平滑;(3) 最优传输聚类,利用Sinkhorn距离高效对齐簇分配与预设比例,保持平衡。在七个真实数据集上的综合评估表明,scSiameseClu在单细胞聚类、细胞类型注释和分类任务中均超越现有最优方法,为scRNA-seq数据分析提供有力工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reveals cell heterogeneity, with cell clustering playing a key role in identifying cell types and marker genes. Recent advances, especially graph neural networks (GNNs)-based methods, have significantly improved clustering performance. However, the analysis of scRNA-seq data remains challenging due to noise, sparsity, and high dimensionality. Compounding these challenges, GNNs often suffer from over-smoothing, limiting their ability to capture complex biological information. In response, we propose scSiameseClu, a novel Siamese Clustering framework for interpreting single-cell RNA-seq data, comprising of 3 key steps: (1) Dual Augmentation Module, which applies biologically informed perturbations to the gene expression matrix and cell graph relationships to enhance representation robustness; (2) Siamese Fusion Module, which combines cross-correlation refinement and adaptive information fusion to capture complex cellular relationships while mitigating over-smoothing; and (3) Optimal Transport Clustering, which utilizes Sinkhorn distance to efficiently align cluster assignments with predefined proportions while maintaining balance. Comprehensive evaluations on seven real-world datasets demonstrate that scSiameseClu outperforms state-of-the-art methods in single-cell clustering, cell type annotation, and cell type classification, providing a powerful tool for scRNA-seq data interpretation.
