# Overview
This is the C2S-Pythia-410m-cell-type-conditioned-cell-generation model, built on the Pythia-410m architecture developed
by EleutherAI, fine-tuned using Cell2Sentence (C2S) on a comprehensive collection of single-cell RNA sequencing
(scRNA-seq) datasets from CellxGene and the Human Cell Atlas. Cell2Sentence is a pioneering technique that adapts
large language models (LLMs) to single-cell biology by converting scRNA-seq data into "cell sentences" — ordered
sequences of gene names based on expression levels. This model is specifically trained for cell type-conditioned
single-cell generation, enabling the generation of realistic single-cell profiles conditioned on specified cell
types.
# Training Data
This model was trained on over 57 million human and mouse cells gathered from over 800 single-cell RNA sequencing
datasets from CellxGene and the Human Cell Atlas. This dataset covers a broad range of cell types and conditions
from multiple tissues in both human and mouse.
This model was trained with the top 200 genes per cell sentence.
# Tasks
This model is designed for:
- Cell type-conditioned single-cell generation: Generating single-cell profiles conditioned on specific cell types, allowing for the creation of synthetic cells that reflect the gene expression patterns of targeted cell types.
