A flexible network-based imputing-and-fusing approach towards the identification of cell types from single-cell RNA-seq data

Background Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides an effective tool to investigate the transcriptomic characteristics at the single-cell resolution. Due to the low amounts of transcripts in single cells and the technical biases in experiments, the raw scRNA-seq data usually includes large noise and makes the downstream analyses complicated. Although many methods have been proposed to impute the noisy scRNA-seq data in recent years, few...
