Abstract 3494: KINOMO: A non-negative matrix factorization framework for recovering intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity from single-cell RNA-seq data

Abstract Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful technology to uncover cellular heterogeneity in tumor ecosystems. Due to differences in underlying gene load, direct comparison between patient samples is challenging, and this is further complicated by the sparsity of data matrices in scRNA-seq. Here, we present a factorization method called KINOMO (Kernel dIfferentiability correlation-based NOn- negative Matrix factorization algorithm using Kullback-Leibler divergence loss Optimization). This tool uses quadratic approximation approach for error correction and an iterative multiplicative approach, which improves the quality assessment of NMF-identified factorization, while mitigating biases introduced by inter-patient genomic variability. We benchmarked this new approach against nine different methods across 150 scRNA-seq experiments and find that KINOMO outperforms prior methods when evaluated with an adjusted Rand index (ARI), ranging 0.82-0.91 compared to 0.68-0.77. Thus, KINOMO provides an improved approach for determining coherent transcriptional programs (and meta-programs) from scRNA- seq data of cancer tissues, enabling comparison of patients with variable genomic backgrounds.
