ScANVI is a variational inference model for single-cell RNA-seq data that can learn an underlying latent space, integrate technical batches and impute dropouts. In addition, to scVI, ScANVI is a semi-supervised model that can leverage labeled data to learn a cell-type classifier in the latent space and afterward predict cell types of new data. The learned low-dimensional latent representation of the data can be used for visualization and clustering.

scANVI takes as input a scRNA-seq gene expression matrix with cells and genes as well as a cell-type annotation for a subset of cells. We provide an extensive user guide.

See our original manuscript for further details of the model: scANVI manuscript.
See our manuscript on scvi-hub how to leverage pre-trained models.

This model can be used for fine tuning on new data using our Arches framework: Arches tutorial.

Model Description

Tabula Sapiens is a benchmark, first-draft human cell atlas of nearly 500,000 cells from 24 organs of 15 normal human subjects.

Metrics

We provide here key performance metrics for the uploaded model, if provided by the data uploader.

Coefficient of variation

The cell-wise coefficient of variation summarizes how well variation between different cells is preserved by the generated model expression. Below a squared Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.4 , we would recommend not to use generated data for downstream analysis, while the generated latent space might still be useful for analysis.

Cell-wise Coefficient of Variation:

Metric	Training Value	Validation Value
Mean Absolute Error	2.21	2.22
Pearson Correlation	0.88	0.88
Spearman Correlation	0.86	0.86
R² (R-Squared)	0.73	0.72

The gene-wise coefficient of variation summarizes how well variation between different genes is preserved by the generated model expression. This value is usually quite high.

Gene-wise Coefficient of Variation:

Metric	Training Value
Mean Absolute Error	17.15
Pearson Correlation	0.70
Spearman Correlation	0.76
R² (R-Squared)	-0.62

Differential expression metric

The differential expression metric provides a summary of the differential expression analysis between cell types or input clusters. We provide here the F1-score, Pearson Correlation Coefficient of Log-Foldchanges, Spearman Correlation Coefficient, and Area Under the Precision Recall Curve (AUPRC) for the differential expression analysis using Wilcoxon Rank Sum test for each cell-type.
