Single-cell multi-omics integration

Schematic of the different single-cell multi-omic integration strategies. Adapted from Adossa et al., 2021[1]

Single-cell multi-omics integration describes a suite of computational methods used to harmonize information from multiple "omes" to jointly analyze biological phenomena.[2][3][4][5] This approach allows researchers to discover intricate relationships between different chemical-physical modalities by drawing associations across various molecular layers simultaneously. Multi-omics integration approaches can be categorized into four broad categories: Early integration, intermediate integration, late integration methods.[6] Multi-omics integration can enhance experimental robustness by providing independent sources of evidence to address hypotheses, leveraging modality-specific strengths to compensate for another's weaknesses through imputation, and offering cell-type clustering and visualizations that are more aligned with reality[2][3]
