Reinventing gene expression connectivity through regulatory and spatial structural empowerment via principal node aggregation graph neural network

The intricacies of the human genome, manifested as a complex network of genes, transcend conventional representations in text or numerical matrices. The intricate gene-to-gene relationships inherent in this complexity find a more suitable depiction in graph structures. In the pursuit of predicting gene expression, an endeavor shared by predecessors like the L1000 and Enformer methods, we introduce a novel spatial graph-neural network (GNN) approach. This innovative strategy incorporates …
