scPerb: Predict single-cell perturbation via style transfer-based variational autoencoder

Traditional methods for obtaining cellular responses after perturbation are usually labor-intensive and costly, especially when working with multiple different experimental conditions. Therefore, accurate prediction of cellular responses to perturbations is of great importance in computational biology. Existing methodologies, such as graph-based approaches, vector arithmetic, and neural networks, either mix perturbation-related variances with cell-type-specific patterns or implicitly distinguish them within black-box models.
