scHFBiMamba: a bidirectional Mamba autoencoder for cardiac disease-state classification from single-nucleus RNA-seq data

To evaluate whether a compact bidirectional state-space autoencoder improves joint classification of species, cell type, and disease state from single-nucleus RNA-sequencing profiles in heart failure (HF), while yielding interpretable gene attributions.

Key points

  • Building on the dense denoising autoencoder (DAE) and MLP framework of Ruz Jurado et al., we developed scHFBiMamba, combining a bidirectional Mamba autoencoder (BiMambaAE) with an MLP head.
  • We compared six encoder-classifier configurations on 38,275 held-out cardiac nuclei using McNemar tests with Benjamini-Hochberg correction, and assessed nine classifiers on frozen representations.
  • Biological relevance was evaluated by comparing SHAP-derived differentially explained genes with differentially expressed genes against curated HF-related Gene Ontology keywords.
  • Compact bidirectional state-space autoencoders can outperform substantially larger dense autoencoders for joint cardiac transcriptomic classification while reducing parameters. scHFBiMamba enables accurate multi-task prediction and hypothesis-generating gene-level interpretation.
