scTranslation: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Single-Cell Multi-Omics Modality Translation

arXiv:2606.03906v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Simultaneous measurement of multiple omics modalities in single cells enables researchers to gain a more comprehensive understanding of cellular states and regulatory mechanisms. However, due to high experimental costs, significant noise, and incomplete modality coverage, a variety of computational methods for modality translation have emerged in recent years. Despite the development of translation models, there is still a lack of systematic benchmark evaluation in terms of datasets, evaluation metrics, and influencing factors. To address this, w
