Feature selection #9

Hi,

Is FindVariableFeatures() needed before running pando? I am not sure which assay or matrix pando used for RNA seq data. Thank you.

Hi @zhenzuo2, if you run FindVariableFeatures() before running Pando, the default behavior is to only consider the selected features for GRN inference. However, you can directly choose the set of genes through the argument genes in infer_grn(). Also, you can set the assays to be used with the peak_assay and rna_assay arguments to initiate_grn(). Within these assays Pando will always use the normalized data slot. I hope this helps, cheers!

I'll close this now, but feel free to reopen if you have further questions
