Abstract
We introduce a dual-view graph neural network (GNN) framework called scNET that integrates scRNA-seq data with protein–protein interaction networks. This approach enhances the characterization of gene functions, pathways and gene–gene relationships and improves cell clustering and the identification of differentially activated biological pathways across conditions.
