arXiv:2606. 26563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-cell studies require analysts to convert raw measurements into specific biological claims through multi-step workflows and integration of metadata, assay context, and auxiliary evidence.
The study evaluated nine transcriptomic models—five bulk RNA‑seq and four single‑cell RNA‑seq—designed to predict response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Across independent datasets, bulk models performed near chance while single‑cell models offered only modest gains, and pathway analyses revealed inconsistent biomarker signals. The results highlight the limited cross‑cohort robustness and biological consistency of current transcriptomic ICI predictors.

The paper introduces scTrilemma, a latent-bottleneck variational autoencoder designed to address the representation trilemma in single‑cell RNA‑seq data: preserving biological identity and state, remaining robust to nuisance context, and retaining gene‑level variation for expression analysis. scTrilemma routes expression‑derived variation to the embedding, decoder, or prior, gating gene tokens by expression and conditioning the prior on unlabeled pseudo‑bulk context, all under a single reconstruction objective without target annotations. In zero‑shot evaluations on successive CZ CELLxGENE Census releases, scTrilemma simultaneously satisfies all three demands, maintaining biological state, differential‑expression, and pathway structure across multiple disease settings, and latent interventions show context can be removed with minimal impact on other demands.
