摘要

With a significant breakthrough in profiling chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution (scATAC-seq), it is promising to apply deep learning (DL) to cell classification tailored for scATAC-seq data. However, scATAC-seq data possess ambiguous feature spaces and sparse expression levels, and existing cell-typing methods typically either align modalities in the latent space or perform transfer learning based on scRNA-seq data. In this study, we propose SCBC for scATAC-seq data, a two-stage computational method based on batch correction to ensure data consistency. First, we present best-performing entropy from samples with distribution differences to guide the model to quickly learn features and patterns of high-quality samples in limited labeled data. Then, a batch correction strategy is proposed to address the influence of noisy labels and the inconsistency of data distribution. Experimental results demonstrate that SCBC shows excellent discriminative performance and embedding quality.
