- 适合生物信息学研究者,降低复杂分析门槛
空间和单细胞转录组学正在革新对细胞动态的理解。作为重建细胞发育路径的核心方法,轨迹推断(TI)至关重要。然而现有方法依赖大量人工干预和多种工具的熟练使用,严重阻碍了高效分析。为此,我们提出SpaCellAgent,一个基于大语言模型的自进化多智能体框架,可实现端到端时空分析与叙事生成。该框架采用多智能体架构进行策略性工作流规划,通过动态工具编排引擎自适应选择算法,并配备自我进化模块,利用反馈迭代优化性能。我们在六个异构数据集上评估,涵盖复杂的时间发育轨迹、多样化的测序平台及空间分辨组织结构。SpaCellAgent在保持专家级性能的同时,分析效率持续提升超过40%。它能将自然语言指令转化为优化的工作流,完全自动化分析流程,推动先进时空建模的普及,建立可扩展的代理驱动计算生物学范式。代码与材料见https://github.com/LittleXH-shw/SpaCellAgent。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Spatial and Single-cell transcriptomics are transformative in deciphering cellular dynamics. As the fundamental paradigm for reconstructing cell developmental paths, trajectory inference (TI) is critical. However, existing methods require extensive manual intervention and proficiency in heterogeneous tools, posing a significant barrier to efficient TI analysis. To bridge this gap, we propose SpaCellAgent, an autonomous large language model (LLM) multi-agent framework that automates end-to-end spatiotemporal analysis and narrative generation. SpaCellAgent utilizes a multi-agent architecture for strategic workflow planning, a dynamic tool-orchestration engine for adaptive algorithm selection, and a self-evolution module that iteratively refines performance through feedback. We evaluate SpaCellAgent on six heterogeneous datasets encompassing complex temporal developmental trajectories, diverse sequencing platforms, and spatially-resolved tissue architectures. SpaCellAgent consistently demonstrates over 40\% improvement in analytical efficiency while maintaining expert-aligned performance. By converting natural language specifications into optimized analytical workflows and fully automating the pipeline, SpaCellAgent democratizes advanced spatiotemporal modeling and establishes a scalable, agent-driven paradigm for computational biology.
