Abstract
Pathway analysis is a powerful approach for elucidating insights from gene expression data and associating such changes with cellular phenotypes. The overarching objective of pathway research is to identify critical molecular drivers within a cellular context and uncover novel signaling networks from groups of relevant biomolecules. In this work, we present PathSingle, a Python-based pathway analysis tool tailored for single-cell data analysis. PathSingle employs a unique graph-based algorithm to enable the classification of diverse cellular states, such as T cell subtypes. Designed to be open-source, extensible, and computationally efficient, PathSingle is available at https://github.com/zurkin1/PathSingle under the MIT license. This tool provides researchers with a versatile framework for uncovering biologically meaningful insights from high-dimensional single-cell transcriptomics data, facilitating a deeper understanding of cellular regulation and function.
