Abstract excerpt
Understanding and controlling cell-state and phenotype transitions is central to biological discovery and therapeutic development, yet identifying true causal regulators from observational transcriptomic data remains challenging because of confounding and correlated signals. CauFinder is a framework that integrates causal disentanglement modeling with network control to prioritize causal regulators of state and...
