ScVI is a variational inference model for single-cell RNA-seq data that can learn an underlying
latent space, integrate technical batches and impute dropouts.
The learned low-dimensional latent representation of the data can be used for visualization and
clustering.
scVI takes as input a scRNA-seq gene expression matrix with cells and genes.
We provide an extensive
user guide.
- See our original manuscript for further details of the model:
scVI 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:
Not provided by uploader
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:

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.
