Abstract
AbstractSingle-cell RNA-seq overcomes the shortcomings of conventional transcriptome sequencing technology and could provide a powerful tool for distinguishing the transcriptome characteristics of various cell types in biological tissues, and comprehensively revealing the heterogeneity of gene expression between cells. Many Intelligent Computing methods have been presented to infer gene regulatory network (GRN) with single-cell RNA-seq data. In this paper, we investigate the performances of seven classifiers including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), Naive Bayesian (NB), GBDT, logical regression (LR), decision tree (DT) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) for solving the binary classification problems of GRN inference with single-cell RNA-seq data (Single_cell_GRN). In SVM, three different kernel functions (linear, polynomial and radial basis function) are utilized, respectively. Three real single-cell RNA-seq datasets from mouse and human are utilized. The experiment results prove that in most cases supervised learning methods (SVM, RF, NB, GBDT, LR, DT and KNN) perform better than unsupervised learning method (GENIE3) in terms of AUC. SVM, RF and KNN have the better performances than other four classifiers. In SVM, linear and polynomial kernels are more fit to model single-cell RNA-seq data.
