Computational approach to infer differentiation drivers from a SCENIC+ analysis. First, differentiating cells are ordered by pseudotime. Second, for each eRegulon, a standardized GAM is fitted along the pseudotime axis for its expression and its target genes (or regions) enrichment scores and each cell in a certain quantile of the GAM TF expression curve is mapped to its future cells in the same quantile in the GAM regulon enrichment curve. Finally, the differentiation force of a cell and regulon is defined as the distance from the TF expression curve to its future cell in the regulon enrichment curve.
