We present SCENIC, a computational method for simultaneous gene regulatory network
reconstruction and cell-state identification from single-cell RNA-seq data (http://scenic.
aertslab. org). On a compendium of single-cell data from tumors and brain, we demonstrate
that cis-regulatory analysis can be exploited to guide the identification of transcription factors
and cell states. SCENIC provides critical biological insights into the mechanisms driving
cellular heterogeneity.
