CellMSA: Context Modeling for Single-Cell Representation Learning

CellMSA introduces a novel single‑cell representation learning framework that leverages a multiple‑sequence‑alignment‑inspired context model. For each target cell, it retrieves relevant cells across batches and related cell types, summarizing cross‑cell patterns into a context‑dependent gene‑pair representation that is fed into a pair‑aware encoder. Pretraining on a massive human single‑cell corpus (≈109 million cells) and subsequent benchmarks demonstrate consistent performance gains over existing methods.

Subcellularly Resolved Single-Cell Embedding Learning with Transcriptomic data, Protein Structure and Localization Information

The paper introduces a multimodal framework that learns subcellularly resolved cell embeddings by integrating RNA expression profiles, protein sequence representations, and protein structural information using a cross‑attention architecture. This approach models interactions within distinct subcellular compartments, producing fine‑grained embeddings that capture both molecular expression patterns and functional protein properties. It is presented as the first method to jointly incorporate transcriptomic data, sequence, and structural knowledge for subcellularly resolved cell representation.
