GRN inference from expression via GRNBoost2 (gradient boosting) or GENIE3 (Random Forest). Load matrix, filter by TFs, infer TF-target-importance links, save network. Dask-parallelized to single-cell scale. Core SCENIC component.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Arboreto GRN Inference

## Overview

Arboreto infers gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data using parallelized tree-based regression. For each target gene, it trains a regression model with all other genes (or a specified TF list) as features and emits TF-target-importance triplets. It provides two interchangeable algorithms -- GRNBoost2 (gradient boosting, fast) and GENIE3 (Random Forest, classic) -- sharing identical input/output formats. Computation is Dask-parallelized, scaling from laptop cores to HPC clusters.

## When to Use

- Inferring transcription factor-to-target gene regulatory relationships from bulk RNA-seq expression data
- Building gene regulatory networks from single-cell RNA-seq count matrices (cells as rows, genes as columns)
- Generating the adjacency matrix (Step 1) of the pySCENIC regulatory analysis pipeline
- Comparing regulatory network structure across experimental conditions (e.g., control vs treatment)
- Producing consensus regulatory networks by running inference across multiple random seeds
- Validating GRN results by comparing GRNBoost2 and GENIE3 outputs on the same dataset

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/arboreto-grn-inference@sha256:27d23babdbe32003

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.7a7d60f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
