Perturb-Seq: Leveraging AI for Efficient Design of Perturbation Experiments
Introduction
Researchers from Genentech and Stanford University have developed an innovative approach to Perturb-Seq, leveraging machine learning to efficiently design perturbation experiments.
Practical Solutions and Value
The Perturb-Seq method allows for the engineering of cells to a certain state, sheds light on gene regulation, and aids in identifying target genes for therapeutic intervention. Recent technological developments have augmented the efficiency, scalability, and breadth of Perturb-Seq.
Machine learning models can predict the results of perturbations, using pre-existing Perturb-Seq datasets to forecast the expression results of unseen perturbations, individual genes, or combinations of genes.
The researchers have introduced an approach that involves carrying out the Perturb-Seq assay in a wet-lab environment and implementing a machine learning model using an interleaving sequential optimal design approach. This approach allows for the creation of a model that has adequately explored the perturbation space with minimal perturbation experiments done.
To address the issue of active learning in a budget context for Perturb-Seq data, the team provides a novel approach termed ITERPERT (ITERative PERTurb-seq), which supplements data evidence with publicly available prior knowledge sources, particularly in the early stages and when funds are tight.
