摘要

Inferring gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is essential for understanding biological regulation. Although numerous deep learning approaches have been developed for GRN inference, most require large amounts of labeled data. We present Meta-TGLink, a structure-enhanced graph meta-learning model for few-shot GRN inference. By formulating GRN inference as a link prediction task, Meta-TGLink captures transferable regulatory patterns while reducing dependence on extensive labeled datasets. The model combines graph neural networks with Transformer architectures to integrate relational and positional information, thereby improving predictive performance under data-scarce conditions. Experiments on real datasets demonstrate its superiority over state-of-the-art baselines, particularly in cross-domain few-shot scenarios.
