Network-based Single-Cell RNA-seq Analysis

Network-based single-cell RNA-seq analysis extends standard scRNA-seq workflows by constructing and interrogating molecular interaction networks — gene regulatory networks, co-expression networks, or cell-cell communication graphs — from single-cell transcriptomic data. Rather than treating each gene independently, this approach captures the coordinated activity of gene circuits and intercellular signalling pathways within and between cell populations, enabling a systems-level view of transcriptional regulation at single-cell resolution.
