I am beyond excited to share that SIMBA, a versatile single-cell graph embedding method, has been published @naturemethods https://t.co/QyKZA8vRur (1/6)
@XiuweiZhang We have not extensively explored the relationships between features by calculating dot-products of feature embeddings. But we did observe some intriguing patterns during our experiments. It shows promise but also requires further experiments to validate potential findings.
@mikelove@naturemethods Thanks for your kind words! I may not fully grasp your question but SIMBA has the capability to consider different gene expression levels and also infer possible missing edges during training. Thus, subtle variations should still be captured and reflected in the final embedding.

Excited to be writing & publishing a Nature Portfolio "Behind the Paper" blog post for SIMBA! https://t.co/lq0N7FUE0c Hope this helps to convey high-level ideas to more readers.
1/6 A little thread to celebrate this milestone! Our SIMBA manuscript has finally seen the light of day, after a journey of more than 2 years. It's been an intense ride, but we're thrilled with the result.
SIMBA learns a co-embedding space of single cells and multiple features such as genes, chromatin accessible regions, and transcription factor binding sequences, boosting performance of various analyses of cellular diversity and regulation. https://t.co/VwWU5QLjTl
We endured an incredibly rigorous peer-review process, and I am immensely grateful to all my co-authors @JayoungR@vinyard_m@adamlerer@lucapinello who joined me on this journey. The remarkable effort from everyone involved made this achievement a reality. (6/6)
To ensure practicality and easy adoption, we also built a dedicated website (https://t.co/mk22G54mRw) with detailed documentation and tutorials. Any feedback is welcome! (5/6)
