The Augur method can effectively identify the cell types most responsive to biological perturbations in single-cell data, helping to explore the relationship between gene expression changes and biological functions.
We present Augur, a method to prioritize the cell types most responsive to biological perturbations in single-cell data. Augur employs a machine-learning framework to quantify the separability of perturbed and unperturbed cells within a high-dimensional space. We validate our method on single-cell RNA sequencing, chromatin accessibility and imaging transcriptomics datasets, and show that Augur outperforms existing methods based on differential gene expression. Augur identified the neural circuits restoring locomotion in mice following spinal cord neurostimulation. The cell types affected by biological perturbations in complex tissues are uncovered by single-cell analysis.
