Integrating gene regulatory priors into Transformer attention with scTransformer for interpretable scRNA-seq analysis

arXiv:2606. 09558v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivation: Transformer-based models are increasingly applied to large-scale single-cell transcriptomics, showing strong performance through self-supervised learning on millions of cells.

scTrilemma: Balancing Identity, Invariance, and Fidelity in Single-Cell Representation Learning

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.

CRNDiff: Count-Native Diffusion Framework via Chemical Reaction Networks

CRNDiff is a new count‑native diffusion framework that uses stochastic chemical reaction networks to model nonnegative integer data such as single‑cell RNA sequencing. It provides a closed‑form forward‑noising kernel, enabling efficient reverse sampling via forward‑filtering backward‑sampling and data‑driven selection of the terminal noising time. The method also introduces tilted Feynman–Kac steering to sample rare subpopulations without retraining, and demonstrates superior conditional fidelity and marker‑level preservation on human heart scRNA‑seq data.
