More
CellAssign is a simple yet, efficient approach for annotating scRNA-seq data in the scenario in which cell-type-specific gene markers are known. The method also allows users to control for nuisance covariates like batch or donor. The scvi-tools implementation of CellAssign uses stochastic inference, such that CellAssign will scale to very large datasets.
The advantages of CellAssign are: (i) Lightweight model that can be fit quickly, (ii) Ability to control for nuisance factors.
The limitations of CellAssign include: (i) Requirement for a cell types by gene markers binary matrix, (ii) The simple linear model may not handle non-linear batch effects.
