BuDDI: Bulk Deconvolution with Domain Invariance to predict cell-type-specific perturbations from bulk. by Natalie R Davidson, Fan Zhang, Casey S Greene

“…BuDDI utilizes domain adaptation techniques to effectively integrate available corpora of case-control bulk and reference scRNA-seq observations to infer cell-type-specific perturbation effects. BuDDI achieves this by learning independent latent spaces within a single variational autoencoder (VAE) encompassing at least four sources of variability: 1) cell type proportion, 2) perturbation effect, 3) structured experimental variability, and 4) remaining variability. …”
