Nat Biotechnol. 2024 Nov;42(11):1678-1683. doi: 10.1038/s41587-023-02079-x. Epub 2024 Jan 15.

Abstract

Biolord is a deep generative method for disentangling single-cell multi-omic data to known and unknown attributes, including spatial, temporal and disease states, used to reveal the decoupled biological signatures over diverse single-cell modalities and biological systems. By virtually shifting cells across states, biolord generates experimentally inaccessible samples, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in predictions of cellular response to unseen drugs and genetic perturbations.
