As there is an increasing need for single-cell omics data to be integrated across sources, types and features of data, the challenges of integrating single-cell omics data are rising. Here, we present an unsupervised deep learning algorithm that learns discriminative representations for single-cell data via maximizing mutual information, SMILE (Single-cell Mutual Information Learning).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using a unique cell-pairing design, SMILE successfully integrates multisource single-cell transcriptome data, removing batch effects and projecting similar cell types, even from different tissues, into the shared space. SMILE can also integrate data from two or more modalities, such as joint-profiling technologies using single-cell ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, DNA methylation, Hi-C and ChIP data. When paired cells are known, SMILE can integrate data with unmatched feature, such as genes for RNA-seq and genome-wide peaks for ATAC-seq. Integrated representations learned from joint-profiling technologies can then be used as a framework for comparing independent single source data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The source code of SMILE including analyses of key results in the study can be found at: https:\/\/github.com\/rpmccordlab\/SMILE, implemented in Python.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btab706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,7]],"date-time":"2021-10-07T08:35:59Z","timestamp":1633595759000},"page":"476-486","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["SMILE: mutual information learning for integration of single-cell omics data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Yang","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UT-ORNL Graduate School of Genome Science and Technology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priyojit","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UT-ORNL Graduate School of Genome Science and Technology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0010-5323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel Patton","family":"McCord","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023033004311992300_","author":"Amid","year":"2019"},{"key":"2023033004311992300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1202","DOI":"10.1038\/s41587-021-00895-7","article-title":"Computational principles and challenges in single-cell data integration","author":"Argelaguet","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nat.
