This invention belongs to the field of
bioinformatics and relates to a single-
cell trajectory
inference method based on adaptive
feature selection. First, an initial
gene expression matrix is obtained through data preprocessing and screening for highly variable genes. Second, a two-dimensional
evaluation strategy is employed to calculate the scores of highly variable genes with
gene expression variability and the trajectory importance
score related to differentiation trajectories. Then, a dynamic weight
fusion mechanism is introduced, adaptively adjusting the fusion weights of the two scores based on performance feedback, and highlighting
key genes through nonlinear enhancement. Next, an intelligent inflection point detection
algorithm adaptively determines the optimal number of features. Finally, trajectory
inference is performed based on a variational
autoencoder model reconstructed from feature subsets, and a performance-driven
feature selection closed loop is formed through multiple rounds of iterative optimization. This invention achieves high-precision, adaptive single-
cell trajectory
inference, solving the technical problems of single
feature selection and fixed weights in traditional methods.
