Package: cellvgae
CellVGAEAn unsupervised scRNA-seq analysis workflow with graph attention networksCellVGAE uses the connectivity between cells (such ask-nearest neighbour graphs or KNN) with gene expression values as node features to learn high-quality cell representations in a lower-dimensional space, with applications in downstream analyses like (density-based) clustering, visualisation, gene set enrichment analysis and others. CellVGAE leverages both the variational graph autoencoder and graph attention networks to offer a powerful and more interpretable machine learning approach. It is implemented in PyTorch using the PyTorch Geometric library.RequirementsInstalling CellVGAE with pip will attempt to install PyTorch and PyTorch Geometric, however it is recommended that the appropriate GPU/CPU versions are installed manually beforehand. For Linux:Install PyTorch GPU:conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c nvidiaor PyTorch CPU:conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cpuonly -c pytorchInstall PyTorch Geometric:conda install pyg -c pyg -c conda-forge(Optional) Install Faiss CPU:conda install -c pytorch faiss-cpuFaiss is only required if using the option--graph_type "KNN Faiss".  It is a soft dependency as it is not available for some platforms (currently Apple M1). Attempting to use CellVGAE with Faiss without installing it will result in an exception.A GPU version of Faiss for CUDA 11.1 is not yet available.Install CellVGAE with pip:pip install cellvgae --pre(Optional) For the attention graph visualisations of Figure 6,igraphis required:pip install python-igraphIf using the R preprocessing code, we recommend installing the following:Seurat 3,scran,SingleCellExperiment.scRNAseq,BiocSingular,igraph,dplyrandtextshape.Example useUsing the example files in this repo (.h5ad file is the same as downloaded by Scanpy 1.8.1):python-mcellvgae--input_gene_expression_path"example_data/paul15_myeloid_scanpy.h5ad"--graph_file_path"example_data/paul15_Faiss_KNN_K3_KHVG2500.txt"--graph_convolution"GAT"--num_hidden_layers2--hidden_dims128128--num_heads3333--dropout0.40.40.40.4--latent_dim50--epochs50--model_save_path"model_saved_out"Other examples are available inexamples/cellvgae_example_scripts.txt(also consult the help section below)UsageInvoke the training script withpython -m cellvgaewith the arguments detailed below:usage: train [-h] [--input_gene_expression_path INPUT_GENE_EXPRESSION_PATH] [--hvg HVG] [--khvg KHVG] [--graph_type {KNN Scanpy,KNN Faiss,PKNN}] [--k K] [--graph_n_pcs GRAPH_N_PCS]
