scVelo - RNA velocity generalized through dynamical modeling
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/31883718/67709134-a0989480-f9bd-11e9-8ae6-f6391f5d95a0.png" width="400px" align="left">scVelo is a scalable toolkit for RNA velocity analysis in single cells; RNA velocity enables the recovery of directed dynamic information by leveraging splicing kinetics <sup>1</sup>. scVelo collects different methods for inferring RNA velocity using an expectation-maximization framework <sup>2</sup>, deep generative modeling <sup>3</sup>, or metabolically labeled transcripts<sup>4</sup>.
scVelo's key applications
- estimate RNA velocity to study cellular dynamics.
- identify putative driver genes and regimes of regulatory changes.
- infer a latent time to reconstruct the temporal sequence of transcriptomic events.
- estimate reaction rates of transcription, splicing and degradation.
- use statistical tests, e.g., to detect different kinetics regimes.
