Breaking New Ground - My First PhD Paper on Single-Cell Gene Expression Prediction

Thrilled to announce the publication of my first PhD paper titled “scHiGex: predicting single-cell gene expression based on single-cell Hi-C data” in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics!

This work presents scHiGex, a computational tool that leverages graph transformers to predict single-cell gene expression with unprecedented accuracy. It bridges the gap between single-cell Hi-C data and gene expression prediction, pushing the boundaries of single-cell multi-omics research.

Grateful to my advisor Dr. Zheng Wang and collaborators for their support and guidance.
